They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 236: Isn’t that the Second Princess?!

If something happened, if someone needed her help, and she had no points to use, she would be powerless.

Nnenna took a deep breath, determination setting in.

“You’re right.

I’ve been reckless.

I’ll start earning points first thing tomorrow morning.” The Love System sighed in relief.

“Finally, some common sense!

But hold up, how exactly do you plan on doing that?

You’re still banned from leaving the castle’s main grounds, remember?” Nnenna frowned.

That was a problem.

But not an impossible one.

“I’ll just have to make a difference right where I am, like before.

Opportunities are everywhere, I just need to look.” The Love System hummed in approval.

“Now that’s the spirit!

You don’t need to go far to make an impact.

Just be smart about it.” “You know,” Nnenna suddenly sighed, her voice laced with frustration.

“I haven’t stepped outside these castle walls for months!

I need to see the outside world again, it’s been way too long.” The Love System made a thoughtful sound, then concluded, “We’ll see how tomorrow goes.” And with that, their conversation ended.

The next morning, before the first rays of sunlight could fully brighten the sky, Nnenna slipped out of the castle through the secret passageway.

She didn’t even wait for breakfast, there was no time.

Obinna’s growing power needed to be handled, and she needed more good points to stand a chance.

The market was already bustling by the time she arrived, the air thick with the aroma of freshly baked bread, sizzling plantains, and spicy meats.

Nnenna took a deep breath, savoring the scents, only for her stomach to let out a loud grumble.

She winced.

Right.

She hadn’t eaten enough the night before, too distracted by her sister’s situation.

And now, skipping breakfast made things even worse.

Her eyes locked onto a vendor selling fried plantains and eggs, the golden slices glistening in the morning sun.

She could almost taste the rich, savory flavor just by looking at them.

But there was one problem, she had no money.

That realization hit her hard.

She had been slipping out of the castle, but she was still relying on its resources.

And with Obinna cutting her allowance little by little out of spite, she knew she couldn’t depend on it for much longer.

She clenched her fists.

It’s time to be independent.

If she wanted to keep coming outside, if she wanted to survive without Obinna’s influence strangling her, then she needed a job.

And she needed one fast.

She could go to the old man.

He would help her.

He always did.

But Nnenna didn’t want to keep relying on the people she had saved.

Their gratitude was genuine, but she didn’t want to keep taking from them without giving something in return.

Not yet, she decided.

Maybe in the future when she had more value, but definitely not now.

As she walked through the bustling streets, her sharp eyes scanned every shop and stall, looking for something, anything, that could help her earn some money.

After what felt like forever, her gaze landed on a huge shop with a simple sign hanging outside the ground floor: HELP WANTED – SALES GIRL NEEDED.

Perfect.

She wasted no time stepping inside.

The shop smelled of freshly stocked goods, and shelves lined the walls, filled with various clothings and lots of other goods.

Spotting one of the staff, she walked up confidently.

“Excuse me,” she said.

“I’m here for the job you advertised.” The staff member, a woman in her late 20s, turned around, and instantly frowned in confusion.

Nnenna could see the disbelief in her eyes.

“Uh… how old are you?” the woman asked, crossing her arms.

Nnenna blinked.

Crap.

She couldn’t lie, but she really didn’t want to say her age either.

“I can do a great job,” she said instead, flashing her best professional smile.

“I’m very good with people.

I—uh—think I’m qualified.” The staff member “…” The woman’s frown deepened.

“That’s… not exactly a proper CV,” she muttered, clearly unimpressed.

Just as she was about to question Nnenna further, a sharp voice interrupted.

“Why don’t you people have enough staff?

I need someone to assist me with my purchases!” Both of them turned.

The speaker was a young woman, probably in her early 20s.

She was stunning, dressed in fine clothes, and had the aura of someone used to getting what she wanted, which seemed to have crossed the line into arrogance.

The staff member hesitated, then sighed.

“You know what?

It doesn’t matter,” she said, turning back to Nnenna.

“Go to the back.

Someone there will tell you what you’re supposed to do.” Nnenna grinned.

Yes!

Step one, complete.

As Nnenna walked away, a victorious smile tugging at her lips, she failed to notice the sharp eyes trailing her every move.

The young noblewoman who had just demanded assistance stared after her, her expression shifting from irritation to pure confusion.

Wait a minute… She narrowed her eyes, studying the girl’s retreating figure more closely.

There was something oddly familiar about her.

Her face, her posture, the way she moved, it sparked a memory.

Then, it hit her.

Isn’t that… the Second Princess?!

Her breath caught.

She had attended the Grand Ball months ago, as part of one of the noble families of Lionara.

She had seen the royal introductions with her own eyes.

And now, she was almost certain, no, she was 100% sure, that the girl who just disappeared into the back of the shop was Princess Nnenna.

Her hand twitched for her phone, but Nnenna was gone before she could snap a photo.

What in the world is she doing here?

And looking for a job, no less?

The noblewoman’s mind raced.

This was beyond strange.

A princess, working?

It made no sense.

Something big was happening, and she wanted to know exactly what it was.

Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone and fired off a text to Ebere.
