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

Chapter 138

Chapter 138: I Don’t Know How Chapter 138: I Don’t Know How The world must see you as a pampered princess, not some—” he gestured vaguely at the small room “—forgotten child in a closet.” He crossed his arms.

“If they ask where I’ve been living, I’ll tell them.

I’ll show them this tiny space, my things, and myself, just as I’ve always been.” She let the words settle, watching for a reaction.

“You let them keep me here, Father.

I wasn’t aware of all that,” King Ikechukwu stammered, looking away, but the guilt was evident in his expression.

Nnenna scoffed.

“Is that so?” Her voice was sharp, unwavering.

If you truly had no idea where I’ve been living, how did you walk straight here without asking for directions?” The king’s lips parted slightly, but no words came.
