Chapter 139: New Room Chapter 139: New Room The king needed something to awaken him, to help him see you in a different light and try to be better toward you.” Nnenna remained silent, processing everything.

“Just keep doing good,” the system added, “and those who have goodness in them will come to love you especially when you accumulate good points.” For the next few days, Nnenna attended her night classes diligently, racked up good points during the day, and kept a close eye on the preparations for the Grand Ball.

Finally, the long anticipated day arrived.

Guests were scheduled to begin arriving around noon, and the entire royal family was expected to be present to welcome them.

After much thought, she decided to move into the room prepared for her, though not because she wanted to accept their sudden kindness.

It was a strategic move.

As much as she didn’t care for their approval, letting people see that she had been living in a closet would not only make them pity her, but it would also make them look down on her.

If she wanted their respect, she had to position herself wisely.

If being given her own room was an acknowledgment of her status, even if it came late, then she would use it to her advantage.

There was no need to fight a battle she could win before it even started.

The first time Nnenna stepped into the new room, her eyes scanned the space with quiet observation.

It was undeniably luxurious, far more than the cramped closet she had called home for years, but it still lacked the extravagance of a true princess’s quarters.

The room was spacious, with high ceilings adorned with delicate gold accents.

The walls were painted a soft ivory, and the large windows were draped with deep blue curtains, the fabric rich but not quite as fine as the silk ones in Ebere’s room.

A grand four poster bed sat in the center, covered in plush bedding embroidered with intricate floral patterns.

It was elegant, but unlike Ebere’s, which had a custom canopy and velvet trimmed pillows, hers was simpler in design.
