Chapter 123: Failing Again Chapter 123: Failing Again Again?

Her nap was supposed to recharge her before training, but apparently, peace was too much to ask for.

At first, she ignored it, hoping whoever it was would just go away.

But the knocking continued, persistent.

Annoying.

With a sigh, she dragged herself up and reluctantly opened the door.

To her surprise, it wasn’t another scheming servant.

It was Romoke.

One of the few people in the castle she actually tolerated.

“Hey, Romoke.

How are you?” Nnenna asked, still groggy.

“I’m okay,” Romoke replied quickly.

Too quickly.

Her face said something else entirely, worry.

Unease.

Maybe even fear.

Nnenna narrowed her eyes, but she didn’t push.

Silence Nnenna raised an eyebrow, something was definitely off.

“What’s up?

What do you need?” she asked.

Romoke hesitated.

“I… I came to give you some snacks,” she stammered.

Nnenna’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Romoke never stammered.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked again, studying the girl’s face.

Romoke shifted from one foot to another.

“Yes, yes, I’m okay.

Why don’t you have some snacks?” she said again, this time without the stammering.

Something was definitely wrong.

Still, Nnenna nodded and reached for the snacks.

But just as she was about to take them, Romoke jerked her hand back, pulling the snacks away.

Nnenna froze.

Her heart skipped.

Romoke’s scared face hardened into something more… determined.
