They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 209 - 209 Do Yourself a Favor, Stay Away

Chapter 209: Do Yourself a Favor, Stay Away Chapter 209: Do Yourself a Favor, Stay Away She was about to firmly reject the idea when another voice cut in.

“I already did all the necessary security installations,” Carl said, his tone firm yet nonchalant.

“I wouldn’t give her a vulnerable phone, you know.” Somto studied him for a moment before nodding.

Since there was nothing left to argue about, the matter was settled, and they all left to join the hunting event.

By the time they arrived, they were just in time to be assigned to their positions.

As soon as Nnenna stepped in with Carl and Somto flanking her, an unspoken tension rippled through the crowd.

Whispers that had begun to form quickly died down.

No one dared to speak against her, not when she was under the protective watch of two powerful figures.

The teams were being divided when the referee hesitated.

He looked at them, his brows furrowed, clearly considering whether to separate them.

But one glance at the expressions on Carl and Somto’s faces made him think twice.

In the end, he simply let them be a team of three, silently saving himself from unnecessary trouble.

With that settled, the hunting officially began.

It was meant to be a casual, leisure filled event where participants could roam freely, so there was no rush.

Everyone scattered in different directions, moving at their own pace.

“Where do you think we should go first, Nnenna?” Carl asked as they stood at the starting point.

She glanced around, noticing that most of the other groups were heading west.

“Well, since everyone’s going that way, I think we should go east instead,” she said thoughtfully.

Somto raised a brow, intrigued by her reasoning.

“Why east?” She shrugged.

“I just don’t want to be part of the crowd.” Carl smirked knowingly.

“Or maybe you just don’t want to deal with all the unnecessary attention?” She didn’t respond, but her silence was answer enough.

Carl chuckled, then turned to Somto.

“What do you say?

Shall we take the road less traveled?” Somto exhaled, shaking his head slightly.

“Fine, let’s go east.

But stay close.

If anything happens, I’m not carrying either of you back.” Nnenna rolled her eyes.

“No one’s asking you to.” Carl, ever the troublemaker, nudged Somto playfully.

“Oh, come on.

You wouldn’t mind carrying her, but me?

Yeah, I’d be dead weight.” Somto shot him a glare.

“Exactly.

Now move before I reconsider.” “Admit it.

You just don’t want her to deal with all the stares and whispers.” Carl pointed out with a knowing smirk.

Somto simply snorted but didn’t argue.

“Let’s go.” However, as they moved deeper into the woods, a few individuals who had been silently targeting her began to follow at a distance.

They continued hunting at a steady pace, taking calculated shots at passing animals, not fatal, just enough to slow them down.

The guides trailing behind them carefully collected the wounded creatures, ensuring they were either used for the evening’s bonfire feast or released back into the wild.

“Nice shot,” Somto praised as Nnenna expertly struck a hare in the leg, stopping it mid dash.

“These things are ridiculously fast.

If you’d missed, it would’ve disappeared into the forest in a second.

Good thinking.” “I know,” she responded simply, her voice cool and composed.

Carl chuckled.

“Look at her, already getting cocky.” Nnenna rolled her eyes.

“You guys are too slow.

I’m going ahead.” Before either of them could react, she took off.

“Be careful!” Carl and Somto shouted at the same time, their voices overlapping in concern.

But she was already weaving through the trees, disappearing deeper into the forest, unaware that those lurking in the shadows had just found the perfect opportunity to make their move.

As Nnenna reached a small, serene riverbank, she decided to take a short break.

The cool breeze rustled the trees, and the sound of flowing water was oddly calming.

She knew Carl and Somto would catch up soon, so there was no harm in pausing for a moment.

But, of course, trouble seemed to be determined to find her today.

“Well, well, look who we have here,” a voice sneered from behind.

A voice she recognized.

Nnenna turned, her expression hardening as her eyes landed on Bora and some other princesses coming her way.

Enemies truly do cross paths on narrow roads.

“What do you want, Bora?” she asked, her voice steady but laced with irritation.

Bora smirked, stepping closer with an air of arrogance.

“Oh, nothing much.

Just surprised to see the fake princess all alone.

Aren’t you supposed to have your royal babysitters glued to your side?” Nnenna clenched her jaw.

She wasn’t in the mood for this.

“Say whatever you came to say and leave,” she said coldly.

Bora laughed, but there was a sharpness in her gaze.

“Oh, I’m not leaving anytime soon.

In fact, I think we have unfinished business.” The air around them shifted, the tension thickening like a brewing storm.

“You see, I just want you to understand your place,” Bora sneered, arms crossed as she took another step forward.

“So you can stop trying to compete with people who actually belong here.

You’re hiding behind two powerful figures, clinging to protection you don’t even deserve.

Why don’t you just admit the truth to yourself?

I know it’s hard, but the sooner you do, the sooner it’ll sink in, you don’t belong.” Nnenna sighed, shaking her head.

“You people never change.

It’s always the same thing.

You don’t belong.

You don’t belong.

You don’t belong.” Then, she laughed, a sharp, knowing laugh that caught Bora off guard.

“You know what?

I’m tired of hearing it,” she said, stepping closer, her voice calm but cutting.

“Fine.

I don’t belong.

But if I don’t belong among you, then clearly, I belong somewhere higher, somewhere far beyond your reach since I’m better than all of you” Bora “…” The other Princesses “…” Bora’s smirk faltered.

“So if my presence here is too much for you to handle,” Nnenna continued, eyes gleaming with confidence, “then do yourself a favor, stay away.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Guys, how was that come back?
