Chapter 570: What's Your Secret??
His voice carried a quiet warmth. "It’s alright to bend a few rules. It's not as if she would poison me."
Nnenna smiled faintly and moved to help him into his chair before taking the seat across from him.
Nanny, however, was not finished. She turned toward Nnenna, her tone respectful but firm. "Princess, | know you
care deeply for your brother, and you must also know that we all do. Long before you arrived, we've been
tending to His Highness with everything in us. But if you cin and undo the order we've built, it could cause
harm instead of help. For the sake of your love for your brother, | ask that you follow the rules as they are, so
things can continue as smoothly as they have before."
Hmm
Nnenna sighed, a faint guilt tugging at her. Staying close to Carl would make her investigation easier, but these
protocols had been protecting him for years.
The last thing she wanted was for anyone to think she couldn't follow the rules. After all, just because Carl gave
her a title didn’t mean she had earned everyone's respect yet.
"I'll follow the rules," she finally said.
Carl blinked at her, surprise flickering across his face. He had to glance twice just to be sure this was the same
stubborn, "I'll do whatever | want’ Nnenna he knew. "You don’t have to," he said softly. "I don’t mind."
"No, | want to. It's necessary for your safety, so I'll follow the rules."
Before she could waver, she rose to her feet. "Make sure you eat well and rest. I'll have my dinner downstairs."
And with determined steps, she left the room before doubt could chase her back.
Carl's eyes followed her until she disappeared. A faint smile tugged at his lips. Then, turning to Nanny, he asked
half joking, half serious, "Do you have skind of miracle in your voice? She barely ever listens tolike that.
What's your secret?"
Nanny chuckled, laughter bubbling out of her like it had been waiting all day. "Nothing, Your Highness. That's just
her caring about you. She obeyed because of that."
Carl leaned back, thoughtful. "I suppose so," he murmured. Then his tone softened, wistful. "Still... it would've

"You two can have fun when you recover," Nanny comforted gently before slipping out, leaving Carl in peace to
eat.
Meanwhile, Nnenna walked back toward her room, her appetite gone despite how hungry she had been earlier.
All these rules, all these protocols, they were suffocating. Annoying, even. But since she had promised to be on
her best behavior, it was better to keep her word.
"Your Highness," a voice called from behind.
She turned and saw the housekeeper hurrying toward her. "Your dinner is ready. | heard you couldn't eat
together with your brother... I'm sorry about that. It's just the way things are here. But it's also my duty to make
sure you are well fed. Please, this way." His expression carried a pleading sincerity.
Nnenna hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. He wasn’t trying to make things difficult; he only wanted her
cared for. So she followed him downstairs.
When she sat at the long dining table, she naturally chose the main seat again, earning another ripple of
disapproving looks from sservants. The housekeeper, though clearly aware, kept his reaction muted and
restrained.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes, every single one of them her favorites. Nnenna blinked, surprised, but the
heavy mood still pressed on her, and she only managed to eat a little before setting her spoon down.
The housekeeper sighed quietly and motioned for the servants to clear the table. "So much food wasted..." he
murmured.
"Then don’t make so much next time," Nnenna replied frankly, turning to him. "Just prepare something simple
that | can finish. No need to serve a feast, | couldn't possibly eat it all even if | was starving."
The housekeeper dipped his head respectfully. "Yes, Your Highness."
"It’s getting late, I'll go back to my room now," Nnenna said, glancing out the large windows.
"Wait," the steward stopped her. "There's something else. His Highness wanted you introduced to speople. |
made sure you ate first because | knew he would worry if you hadn't."
"Who are those people?" Nnenna asked, curious.
The steward clapped his hands softly, and a mixture of men and women walked in.
"As you already know, I'm the steward, and my wife is the housekeeper, though everyone calls her Nanny." He
gestured as he spoke. "This is the head of security, Daniel."
Daniel gave a slight bow. "Your Highness," he said slowly, but it was clear to anyone paying attention that there
was no real respect in his voice.
The steward continued, "That's the assistant head of security, Elin. Over there is our head chef, Chef Oliver. And
this is Alice, our household doctor. His Highness is the best doctor we know, of course, but since we cannot
expect him to treat every small matter, Alice is here should you ever need medical attention."
Alice gave Nnenna a curt nod, cold, not even bothering to bow.
The introductions dragged on for several more minutes.
By the end, every head of something
in the castle had been presented. Not

These were the heads of their departments, the people closest to Carl. If anyone was poisoning him, it had to be
among them.
But who?
Each had stood by him through thick and thin.
