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

Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Grounded Chapter 77: Grounded Chidera’s smirk faltered, but he pressed on.

“You shouldn’t have denied me what I asked for,” he snapped, gesturing toward Nnenna.

“Everything in this house belongs to me, including that toy!

Anyone who disrespects a royal deserves what they get,” he concluded smugly, leaning back in his chair with confidence.

The room stirred with quiet murmurs, but Nnenna remained calm, her gaze sharp.

“Disrespects a royal?” she repeated, her tone dripping with disdain.

“If I remember correctly, my last name is Achebe.

My title is Second Princess.

Doesn’t that make me a royal?” Her eyes flicked to the king, daring him to deny her.

The king hesitated, his expression reluctant, but after a heavy pause, he nodded.

He couldn’t deny the truth of her words, she was, after all, the daughter he had adopted.

The room went silent again as all eyes turned back to Nnenna.

She stood her ground, her presence commanding respect.

“If disrespecting a royal warrants being pushed down the stairs and spending almost eight months in the hospital, four of those in a coma, then what punishment have you received for disrespecting me?” Nnenna asked, her voice cutting through the room like a blade.

Though her words were directed at the king, her sharp, unyielding gaze never left Chidera.

Her question landed like a thunderclap, sparking a wave of shock from her siblings.

None of them had expected her to speak so boldly.

The persistence in her tone was undeniable, her courage unshakable.

King Ikechukwu, who had been reluctant to comment, stiffened in his chair.

He had no desire to escalate the situation, but when Nnenna turned her head to face him, her fiery eyes boring into his own, he felt the weight of her challenge.
