But Ebere wasn’t about to let it go.

She pressed forward, her voice laced with false enthusiasm.

“No, we have to check it now!

We should rejoice together as a family, shouldn’t we?

Besides, these aren’t just any people here, they’re our trusted allies.

There’s no reason to wait.

It’s better to get it over with now,” she insisted, flashing a sweet but triumphant smile.

Then she turned toward their father, subtly passing the pressure onto him.

King Ikechukwu had his suspicions.

He guessed that Nnenna might not have scored well and didn’t want to humiliate her in front of everyone.

But at the same time, he was genuinely curious.

Could it be that she really wasn’t as perfect as she seemed?

And truthfully, letting her reveal a low score in front of everyone wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

It would remind people that she was human, not some untouchable genius who excelled at everything.

And reduce the target on her back.

After a brief pause, he nodded.

“Yes, let’s check it now.

There’s no harm in it, it’s just our trusted allies,” he said, backing up Ebere’s words.

And just like that, other members of the royal family joined in.

“We want to know too!” one relative chimed in.

“Waiting until later isn’t a good idea.

It’s better to deal with it now,” another added.

The pressure in the hall intensified as eyes turned toward Nnenna.

“Go on, enter your registration number,” Ebere urged, her voice deceptively gentle.

“What part of I don’t want to don’t you understand elder sister?” Nnenna questioned with raised eyebrows.

King Ikechukwu watched their interaction silently.

His patience gradually wore thin as the pressure from the other royals mounted, but he didn’t want to force her.

The murmurs in the hall grew louder, whispers of speculation filling the air.

“Why is she refusing?” “It must be terrible!” “She acts so high and mighty, but she can’t even say her score?” The longer Nnenna remained silent, the more people assumed the worst.

King Seungho, who had been watching with interest, turned to King Ikechukwu and spoke with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“All of our children have revealed their scores.

If your daughter refuses, isn’t that unfair to the rest?

She should say hers as well.” King Ikechukwu frowned.

“But she already said she doesn’t want to.” “I understand,” King Seungho said smoothly.

“But you are her father.

If you command her, she must obey.

Surely, you wouldn’t allow her to embarrass you by refusing to follow such a simple request?” The tension in the hall thickened.

King Ikechukwu was put in a difficult position.

On one hand, he didn’t want to force her.

On the other hand, it was true that her refusal was making him look weak.

Nnenna met her father’s gaze, her expression unreadable.

“Father,” she said calmly.

“I have no intention of revealing my score here, and that will not change.” The hall fell into stunned silence.

No one had ever defied the king so openly, let alone in front of other royals.

Abuchi scoffed, his voice laced with irritation.

“Why are you making such a small matter so difficult?

Just say the score already!” “I said I don’t want to,” Nnenna repeated, her voice unwavering.

That was the moment everyone became convinced, her score had to be disastrous.

At first, they had merely assumed that Ebere had scored better than her.

But now?

Now they believed she had completely failed, and the excitement in the room was palpable.

The same nobles and royals who had been overshadowed by her achievements these past few days were eager to finally have something to use against her.

If she had truly performed terribly, it would be a story they would never let her forget.

King Ikechukwu finally decided on what to do as the matter dragged on.

He cleared his throat and spoke, his voice was firm and final.

“You need to show your score.

Everyone here has shared theirs.

If you don’t, it wouldn’t be fair.” The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Nnenna.

She clenched her jaw, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

They were all so eager to see her fail.

With a sigh, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a sleek phone, the very one Carl had given her a few days ago.

A wave of surprise washed over her family members.

That phone was new and looked very expensive.

They were certain she hadn’t owned one before.

Where had she gotten it?

And more importantly, who had bought it for her?

But they couldn’t ask, not in front of everyone.

That would only expose the fact that they had never bought their own ward a phone.

Ignoring the murmurs, Nnenna tapped on the screen, navigating to the exam results page.

Her expression remained unreadable, but inside, she felt an odd mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

She wasn’t afraid of failing, no, she knew she had done well.

The real question was, had she done well enough to get into Royal College, the most prestigious university in the entire continent?

Taking a deep breath, she clicked the final button.

The numbers appeared.

The hall remained silent, waiting for Nnenna to announce her score, many people started whispering among themselves.

Her expression was unreadable, and to them, that could only mean one thing, she had failed.

Chimeg smirked, folding his arms.

“Hah, I knew it.

All that confidence, all that arrogance, where did it go now?

She must have done terribly.

No wonder she’s keeping quiet.” Bora, standing a few feet away, scoffed.

“Serves her right.

She thought she was better than everyone else just because she could fight and dance?

Please!

In the end, true status and intelligence can’t be faked.

She’s nothing more than a glorified commoner, hiding behind the royal family.” Cha let out a dramatic sigh, shaking her head.

“This is embarrassing.

She could have at least prepared herself for the humiliation instead of standing there like a statue.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Creation is hard, cheer me up!
