“She does have a habit of stirring up trouble, whether she means to or not.” The whispers continued, a low murmur of gossip and speculation filling the hall as Nnenna walked past, her face unreadable.

Let them talk.

Their words were irrelevant.

She had bigger things to worry about.

Soon, they would all see.

For most of the servants, the only reason they ever missed Nnenna was because she used to help them with their work, bending over backward just to please them and carve out a place for herself in the royal family.

But what she never realized was that none of them truly cared for her.

The harder she tried to be accepted, the more they resented her.

How could a girl with no royal blood be called a princess?

“Tch.

Look at her walking in like she owns the place,” a servant muttered under her breath.

“Well, at least now she’s back.

Our work free days are back!” another whispered.

Nnenna heard every word, but she still didn’t flinch.

She had learned long ago that reacting only gave them more power.

Instead, she ignored them, clenched her jaw, and gripped the cold knob of her door.

Just then, the housekeeper walked in, adjusting his coat after putting away the things he had forgotten to pack earlier.

“Nnenna, are you hungry?” he asked gently.

She shook her head, not trusting herself to speak.

“I’ll bring you something anyway,” he said with a small smile, relieved that she seemed unaffected by the whispers floating through the halls.

He wasn’t sure if she was ignoring them or if she had truly grown stronger, but he hoped it was the latter.

As soon as he left, Nnenna stepped inside her room And stopped cold.
