Chapter 82: I’m Selfish?

“I see your point, Nnenna,” she said, her voice smooth but laced with an undertone of irritation.

“The servants should indeed perform their duties, including taking care of your sister.

However,” she added, her eyes narrowing slightly, “as her sister, it is still your responsibility to occasionally check on her.

Make sure everything is in order.

After all, you’re her sister.

Caring for her selflessly should come naturally to you.

It wouldn’t hurt to consideration and stop being so… selfish.” Nnenna “..!” The words were a calculated jab, and Nnenna caught the subtle venom behind them.

She straightened her back, lifting her chin slightly as she met Queen Chioma’s gaze.

A soft smile curved her lips, one that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

“Selfish?” Nnenna echoed, her tone light but with a sharp edge that made everyone at the table pay attention.

I’ve sacrificed, served, and given more than anyone ever asked.

And how was I repaid?

With ridicule, mistreatment, and disdain.

Now, I’ve simply decided to reclaim my worth, and suddenly, that makes me selfish?” She paused, letting the words sink in before continuing.

“If caring for myself is selfish, then maybe it’s time I finally start being selfish.” The dining room fell into an uneasy silence.

Even the maids, clearing plates in the background, exchanged wide eyed glances.

Queen Chioma’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second before she quickly composed herself.
