They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System -
Chapter 231 - 231 Seduced Him!
Chapter 231: Seduced Him?!
Chapter 231: Seduced Him?!
Ebere felt a growing sense of guilt.
Ten years.
Ten years of treating Nnenna like she didn’t exist.
Ten years of antagonizing her for no reason other than blind ignorance.
It was so stupid.
She was so stupid.
The closeness between the two sisters didn’t go unnoticed.
Obinna, who had been relentless in his hostility toward Nnenna, started to reduce his bullying, observing the situation instead.
He didn’t like it.
He didn’t trust it.
But something was changing, and for the first time, he didn’t immediately lash out.
But after a month, his patience ran thin.
Obinna had watched Ebere and Nnenna long enough, and he had enough.
One evening, he summoned Ebere to the throne room.
Ebere walked with light footsteps, her presence shifting the atmosphere as she entered the room.
The guards stationed outside and inside immediately bowed in greeting, but what shocked them even more was when she responded with a slight nod and a polite smile.
They had heard whispers that the first princess had changed ever since she started spending time with the second princess, but seeing it with their own eyes was different.
The old Ebere had always been sharp tongued and dismissive, but this version of her… This version was refined.
Confident.
Poised.
And somehow, they all silently agreed, this new version of her was far superior to the previous one.
Ebere approached her brother, standing before him with a calm yet deliberate grace.
Then, to their further shock, she bowed to him, not out of submission, but as a sign of respect.
Obinna’s eyes narrowed.
He had summoned her expecting an argument, perhaps even a fight, but this… this was unexpected.
“Why did you call for me, dear brother?” Ebere asked, her voice sweet, her smile unwavering.
Obinna’s expression, however, was anything but pleased.
His gaze was sharp, his posture rigid.
He looked every bit the king he was preparing to be if Somto never came back.
“I heard you’ve been spending time with that bad luck these past few weeks,” he said, his voice cold and authoritative.
“What exactly are you trying to do?
Help me understand this situation.” There was no mistaking it, he was furious.
Ebere was momentarily stunned by the harshness of Obinna’s voice.
She had expected resistance, but not this level of anger.
Still, she refused to back down.
“Yes, we’ve been spending time together,” she said, her voice steady.
“And honestly, I can’t believe I spent years antagonizing her.
She’s actually kind, Obinna.
Incredibly kind.
After I thought about everything, after Father died, I realized how blind I’ve been all these years.” Her voice softened, but there was a deep sadness beneath it.
“Not only did she save me at the risk of her own life, but she did it without hesitation.
Who would do that if they truly hated me?
I spent a decade treating her like she was nothing, yet she forgave me in minutes.
Do you realize how rare that is?
She’s a good person, and I regret wasting so much time hating her.
I’m happy I finally embraced being her sister.” “Enough!” Obinna’s voice thundered through the throne room, his patience snapping.
He slammed his hand down on the nearest table, making the guards flinch.
“Can you even hear yourself, Ebere?” he spat, his eyes blazing with fury.
“You’re embracing a friendship with the person who killed our father!
With a girl who doesn’t even belong with us!
The only reason she’s still here is because I’m waiting for elder brother to come back and make the final decision.
Otherwise, she would have been erased from this family tree by now!” His words were venomous, each syllable dripping with unfiltered rage.
Ebere stared at him, her heart aching, not just for Nnenna, but for her brother, too.
How much pain was he carrying?
How much hatred had he allowed to fester?
And worst of all… how much of it was directed at the wrong person?
Obinna scoffed, his expression darkening even further.
“Don’t you feel disgusted?
Think about it, Ebere.
Why else would Father, our father, choose her over everything else?
Over the kingdom?
Over us?
He didn’t even hesitate!
He just threw his life away for her!
Doesn’t that make you wonder what kind of hold she had on him?” Ebere stared at him, horror creeping into her features.
For a moment, she was too stunned to respond.
“Disgusted?” she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper.
“How do you mean disgusted?
Are you implying what I think you’re implying?” Obinna remained silent, his jaw tightening, but the look in his eyes confirmed it.
Ebere’s stomach twisted.
He really believed it.
He actually thought Nnenna had seduced their father, and that was why he had sacrificed himself.
“You can’t be serious,” she whispered, shaking her head.
“Are you okay?
Aren’t you supposed to be the rational one?
The business minded one?
How could you jump to such a disgusting conclusion?” Obinna’s expression flickered, but he didn’t back down.
“I’m just saying—” “Just saying what?” she cut him off sharply.
“That Father, the man who raised us, who ruled this kingdom with wisdom and integrity, suddenly lost his mind over a teenage girl?
That he was willing to die for her not because she was worth saving, but because she… what?
Entranced him?
Do you even hear yourself?” Obinna’s fists clenched, but Ebere wasn’t finished.
“And even while he was dying,” she continued, voice laced with anger, “he didn’t act like someone who had been seduced.
He acted like a father.
A father who cared.
A father who made a choice, a choice you refuse to understand because you’d rather blame her than accept the truth.” Her eyes burned as she stared at her brother, daring him to contradict her.
“And don’t forget,” she added coldly, “you heard him too.
He said it himself, You are my daughter too.
And now, here you are, trying to twist it into something ugly.” Silence fell between them.
