They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System -
Chapter 210 - 210 One of Me
Chapter 210: One of Me Chapter 210: One of Me Silence.
The wind rustled through the trees, but Bora had no immediate comeback and neither did her companions.
Indeed, Nnenna had bested them in everything they once believed made them superior.
They clung to their royal blood, thinking it placed them above her.
But if she truly didn’t belong in their circle, then that only meant she belonged in a far higher one, so high that they couldn’t even reach it.
And that was something they weren’t willing to accept.
“You’re just making excuses,” one of the princesses snapped, stepping forward, her tone laced with frustration.
“Excuses to make yourself feel better.
If you really understood what it meant to have royal blood, you wouldn’t be speaking this way.
You obviously don’t understand, and that’s why you’re not in tears right now.” She scoffed, her eyes narrowing.
“Everyone, commoners and nobles alike, wishes they could be like us, including you.
So don’t stand there and pretend you don’t know what it means to be one of us.” The others murmured in agreement, their pride refusing to back down.
“You can train as much as you want.
You can ride horses, you can dance until your legs give out, you can carry yourself with all the elegance in the world.
You can be the best at everything.” She took another step forward, her voice dripping with arrogance.
“But you will never be us.” “You will never have the true honor and prestige that we do.
We don’t have to be good at everything,” she smirked, tilting her chin up, “and yet, we can still get the best engagements, the highest status.
We will always be at the top, no matter what you do.” The other royals nodded in agreement, their confidence bolstered.
But Nnenna?
She simply smiled.
“I see,” Nnenna said, her tone calm but sharp.
“I love your confidence, but you’re wrong in many ways.” She took a step closer, meeting their furious gazes without hesitation.
“You say I can train as much as I want and still never have royal blood, as if that’s what truly makes a person great.
But tell me, does a king’s blood automatically make him wise?
Does it make him strong?
Does it guarantee respect?” She smirked.
“Your father wasn’t born a king.
He earned his place on the throne.
And just like him, I earned my place here.” Her eyes gleamed as she continued, “You say I don’t belong, yet I have the loyalty of not one, but two influential princes.
Even my eldest brother values me.
Do you know what that means?” She tilted her head, watching them closely.
“It means that hard work, intelligence, and perseverance matter more than blood ever will.
And that’s exactly why none of you have ever caught their attention, not Prince Arthur, not Prince Carl.
Not even once.” She let the words sink in, watching their expressions darken.
“Think about that.
Think about your life.” “You—!” The girls were fuming.
They couldn’t deny it.
She was right, and that was what enraged them the most.
Bora clenched her fists, her mind racing.
She refused to let this fake princess walk away victorious.
Then, she had an idea.
They were standing dangerously close to the riverside.
If she accidentally pushed Nnenna in, the current would soak through her clothes, clinging to her skin, revealing too much.
A royal woman, or even an ordinary woman, exposed in front of so many men?
No prince, no nobleman, no one would ever consider marrying her after that.
And that would be the end of Nnenna’s arrogance.
And better still, she could die in the river if she does not know how to swim.
Bora smirked.
Now, she just had to act.
Bora had just finalized her plan when the other girls began to leave, clearly unwilling to argue further with Nnenna.
But she needed someone else to take the fall for what she was about to do.
Her mind raced.
The things she had learned from watching her older sister had taught her that to survive in high society, one had to act like a true Dixan princess, work smart, not hard.
And then, an idea struck her.
She glanced at the other girls, smirking as she suddenly screamed, “Lions!
A pack of lions!” The words sent panic rippling through the hunting grounds.
The other girls shrieked in terror, and even Nnenna instinctively tensed.
In the Lionara royal forests, lions weren’t unheard of.
In fact, they were quite common, making Bora’s warning entirely believable.
As chaos erupted, everyone turned to flee, pushing and shoving in their panic.
Bora used the opportunity.
With a swift, almost unnoticeable movement, she shoved one of the princesses standing beside Nnenna, sending the girl stumbling toward the river’s edge.
In desperation, the princess flailed and instinctively grabbed onto the closest thing she could, Nnenna.
In her heart, sacrificing Nnenna for herself wasn’t bad.
She was a royal and Nnenna wasn’t.
Nnenna’s eyes widened as she felt the force pulling her off balance.
The river roared beneath them.
And in that split second, as both girls teetered on the edge, Bora’s wicked plan was set into motion.
If Nnenna fell, if she was soaked, exposed, humiliated in front of everyone, then her reputation would be ruined forever.
And there would be no coming back from it.
For the first time in a long while, Nnenna panicked.
Ever since she had almost died in the hospital, she had rarely felt helpless, but now, as she teetered on the riverbank, she felt the sharp sting of helplessness.
“Love System!” she called out urgently, her voice strained.
“Help me!” There was no time to explain what she needed; it was obvious.
Ding!
“100 points deducted to save your life.” Before the message had even faded, another princess, caught in her own frantic attempt to escape, accidentally shoved Nnenna forward.
She gasped.
Her body lurched dangerously toward the river.
But instead of plunging into the water, she collapsed onto the muddy bank, just inches away from disaster.
