Chapter 356: He Could Send Her There

Nnenna blinked.

Then again.

And again.

“You’re kidding. Omniora Academy?!” she gasped. “As in Omni meaning ‘all’ or ‘every’ and Ora meaning ‘skills,’ ‘wisdom,’ or ‘ways’? The school of all skills and wisdom?!”

Somto nodded with a calm smile. “Yes. That’s exactly the one.”

Nnenna’s mouth opened but no words came out. He can’t be serious…

She had heard of Omniora Academy, every ambitious student had. It was the stuff of legends. A school said to train warriors, scholars, spies, diplomats, inventors… all in one. But it was always spoken of like a myth, like an elite temple no one could actually find.

And now, her brother was saying he could send her there?!

She was speechless.

Indeed, she had dreamed of it once, but the entrance process alone was shrouded in mystery. It had felt more like a fairytale than an actual option, so she had chosen the best available school on her continent: Royal College.

But now…

Now she was being handed an invitation to the one place she believed was out of reach.

Her decision to attend Royal College suddenly began to fade, like smoke under sunlight.

Who in their right mind would pass up a chance to attend Omniora Academy?

But how was she supposed to get into a university like that? She hadn’t taken any of their entrance exams, and the academic year would even begin in a few days. The question sat heavy on her tongue, but what really bothered her was something else entirely.

Why was Somto making decisions that deeply affected her life? It was like he had already mapped out her entire path. Did he believe he knew what was best for her? Did he really know better than she did? And why not give the opportunity to Ebere? Why me?

She stared at him, trying to read through his calm expression. If he was offering this opportunity, he obviously had a way to get her in, maybe even bypass all the usual processes. The realization made her heartbeat quicken.

“Can you give me some time to think about it?” Nnenna asked, her voice quieter now. Even though her heart was already leaning toward yes, she didn’t want to make a decision in the heat of the moment. Something this big deserved at least a little thought.

“Okay,” Somto said softly, nodding. “But give me your answer tonight.”

He stood up slowly, reaching for a book on the table. Just as his hand brushed the cover, her voice cut through the quiet.

“If my answer is yes… what then?” she asked, her gaze sharp.

Somto turned back to face her, his eyes steady. “If your answer is yes,” he said, “we leave in two days.”

Nnenna nodded, her mind still spinning with everything he had said. But just as she was about to settle her thoughts, a realization struck her.

“Wait… isn’t your coronation in two days?” she muttered aloud. “How are we supposed to leave the same day?”

She turned toward the door, but it was already too late, Somto was gone. The door was shut quietly behind him, as if he had vanished with the wind. Of course. That was how he always operated, dropping bombshells and disappearing before the questions could catch up.

Still, she sighed and leaned back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

“Since he said so…”

She decided she would make her choice with a clear head. Whether she would go or not. The opportunity was right there, staring her in the face. It was not every day that Omniora Academy became an option.

And Somto… for all his mystery and odd behavior, had never let her down. Not even after she died in her previous life as he made sure she was buried properly

He had put Carl, his friend, a freaking crown prince, in charge of taking care of her when she was in a coma. He had bought clothes for her from across the seas, arrived in Purlit like a shadow in the night, saving them with no official backup from Lionara. Yes, Abuchi might not have noticed, but she did.

The guards that came with Somto weren’t from Lionara.

Their gear, their movements, their silent coordination, they were like ghosts. Professionals on a level she had never seen before. The way they moved, the power they exuded, the chilling silence they carried… all of it screamed elite, international, deadly.

Compared to them, the guards in Purlit might as well have been poorly trained security for a country inn.

They were not just from a different unit. They were from a different world.

Who exactly was her brother, and what kind of life had he been living all this time?

Not to mention the way her elder brother kept disappearing, sometimes for weeks, sometimes for months, even years. There had to be something going on beneath the surface.

Something deeper than just royal duties or business. For him to know about a school like Omniora Academy, and to have the means to get her admitted, he definitely had connections.

Real ones.

The kind that moved in silence and behind closed doors.

But that was the problem. If she accepted, she would owe him. And Nnenna hated owing favors, especially when the favor was this huge. Yet… could she really walk away from a once in a lifetime chance like this?

She sat upright, tension twisting in her stomach. Then something clicked in her mind.

Omniora Academy was in Prigrian.

Wait a second…

That was Arthur’s kingdom.

Her heart skipped. Did this mean she might run into him again? What were the chances? It’s not like he was a student there, he was too unpredictable, too busy chasing whatever it was that kept making him disappear.

But still… just the thought of crossing paths with him again stirred a whirlpool of emotions. But that was in the past.

And then, a more pressing thought came.

Could she really trust Somto on this?
