Chapter 87: Entitlement Mentality Chapter 87: Entitlement Mentality “Miss, your breakfast,” the servant said softly, setting down the tray beside her.

“Thank you,” she murmured, barely glancing up before diving back into a particularly challenging page.

She didn’t touch the food right away.

For Nnenna, every word she read felt like a step closer to freedom.

Her fingers flipped through pages as she thought, ‘If I work hard enough, no one can hold me back.’ The hours flew by, her focus unbroken.

While others downstairs went about their day with idle chatter, Nnenna stayed determined.

If there was one thing she knew, it was this, knowledge would be her key to breaking free from everything that tried to trap her.

Since she had spent most of the previous day working, Nnenna decided to focus entirely on her studies today.

She was determined to make up for the time she had missed, so she doubled down, aiming to complete her study quota for both the previous and current day.

The result?

She spent almost the entire day in her room, completely absorbed in her books.

Upstairs, the rest of the royal family was thrilled by her absence.

They didn’t have to see her face, hear her voice, or deal with her sharp comebacks.

For them, it was a win win situation.

Ebere smirked, popping a grape into her mouth.

“Exactly.

As long as she’s holed up in that room, we don’t have to deal with her ruining anything.” The household basked in their temporary peace.

No delayed meals, no dramatic confrontations, and no disruptions to the ball preparations.
