Chapter 30: Dying Again

Her words came out too quickly, and she made sure to look at Nnenna, waiting for some kind of approval. But Nnenna, still quiet, didn't show much emotion in return.

Somto studied the situation carefully. He could sense the tension in the room, the heavy silence that followed her words.

Queen Chioma's smile faltered just slightly, and it didn't take much for Somto to realize that her excitement over the gifts was feigned.

She wasn't pleased at all with the way her children had acted, but she was doing her best to maintain a facade of civility.
