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

Chapter 574

Chapter 574: What? I'm Not Welcome?

People revealed far more when you let them talk. They exposed their fears, their biases... and made themselves

vulnerable. Meanwhile, the listener walked away with more than the speaker ever intended to give.

Nnenna could sense it was not just Nanny who thought this way. The feeling was collective. Almost a dozen

servants had gathered now, peeking from behind pillars, their faces half curious, half condemning.

Under these circumstances, the simplest solution would be to fire every problematic staff member and clear the

obstacles from her path. But she hesitated.

Skilled staff were hard to replace, and despite their disdain for her, most of them genuinely seemed to care

about Carl. That loyalty, at least, wasn’t fake.

I'll keep them... for now.

Raising her head, she spoke clearly, her voice steady. “My intentions toward Carl are pure. | would never hurt

him.”

It was her last attempt to let them see things her way. Too bad, Nanny’s expression remained as cold as stone.

“If none of you care to see that,” Nnenna continued, her words slicing the silence, “then | don’t need any of

you.”

She turned to leave.

“Your Highness.”

Nanny’s voice stopped her, though she still didn’t turn around.

“Your meeting with the guards...” Nanny’s tone sharpened, smugness lacing every word. “Letsave you the

trouble, it won't hold.”

Her lips curled in satisfaction. “Don’t blme for this one. | had nothing to do with it. As you've already

sensed, your unruliness has become...” She paused, savoring the moment, “...unpopular.”

Murmurs of agreement rippled through the servants, who no longer bothered to stay hidden.

Nanny folded her arms, eyes locked on Nnenna'’s back. She waited for the inevitable flare of temper, the loss of

composure.

After all, Nnenna was technically a princess, at least by the title bestowed upon her by the Crown Prince. No

royal would tolerate open disrespect. None.

But she had miscalculated.

Nnenna did not flare up. Slowly, she turned around, her expression unreadable. “I see,” she whispered, her voice

soft yet carrying a weight that made the room still.

“What did you say?” Nanny demanded, irritation breaking through her mask. She hadn’t caught the words, not

with the distance between them.

Nnenna'’s lips curved into the faintest shrug. “If you want to hearbetter, then ccloser.”

“I don’t have to obey your orders,” Nanny countered sharply, refusing to move even an inch. The audience of

servants behind her stiffened, watching closely, as though waiting for her to stand firm on their behalf.

“No worries,” Nnenna replied lightly, her calm a deliberate strike against the tension. “Since Daniel and Elin have

refused to assemble the heads of each department under security, I'll go to them myself later.”

She let her gaze sweep across the gathered servants before adding, each word deliberate, unhurried, and

inescapable:

“And since you all are so interested in having meetings about me... you can inform them that I'll be joining their

investigation from now on.”

“Don’t you get it?” Nanny snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut through the hallway. “We don’t need your help

to save our king!”

She stepped forward in fury, eyes blazing, too caught up in her anger to notice the subtle shift in the atmosphere

around them. “We're more than capable on our own. You should just go back to wherever you cfrom, or

keep your head do—"

“I'm glad we have an understanding,” Nnenna cut her off smoothly.

Her tone was calm, almost playful, and it threw the older woman off balance. A mischievous smile tugged at her

lips as she added, “You're already so eager to follow my orders. Our cooperation will be splendid.”

Then, without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away at an unhurried pace, her presence lingering in

the air like a shadow that refused to lift.

Nanny stood frozen, trying to piece together what had just happened. Three minutes ticked by before the

realization struck her like a slap. Her face twisted.

“You... little demon!” her voice rang out, raw with frustration.

The memory clawed at her chest, Nnenna had made her look like a fool. By stepping forward in anger, she had

unknowingly given the impression of obeying Nnenna’s command.

And the worst part? Everyone else had seen it too.

As she neared the building, movement caught her eye. A woman, who had been lingering outside, froze at the

sight of her. The next second, she bolted inside.

Odd.

Nnenna’s eyes narrowed, her pace quickening. If there was something they didn’t want her to know, or

someplace they didn’t want her to be, then that was exactly where she needed to go.

Just before she reached the door, it swung open. A tall, broad shouldered man stepped out, blocking her path.

“Your Highness,” Rick said stiffly. His tone carried respect, but not warmth. Even so, he couldn't bring himself to

bow. “Why are you here?”

Nnenna arched an eyebrow, unbothered. “What? I'm not welcome?”

She didn’t break stride. Her words were cool, laced with challenge, as she brushed past him and walked through

the doorway.

Rick's jaw tightened. For a moment he stood frozen, fists flexing at his sides. But in the end, he had no choice,

he followed her inside.
