Chapter 140: No Ordinary Servants Chapter 140: No Ordinary Servants “Yes, I have,” Nnenna responded, her voice steady.

For some reason, speaking to him felt like reporting to a commanding officer at boot camp.

“That’s good,” he said, nodding slightly.

His eyes wandered around the room before he casually remarked, “The room looks nice.

Is it to your liking?” Nnenna “..?” Nnenna didn’t respond immediately.

Instead, she stared at him, wondering why he even cared.

‘What does it matter to you whether I like it or not?

It’s not like you ever spoke up for me to get my own room in the first place.

And even if I say it’s not to my, what would you do about it?’ Somto could guess what was running through her mind, but he didn’t voice it.

He had never openly advocated for her to get a room of her own, not because he didn’t want her to have one, but because he didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention to himself.

Now that the king had taken action, he could bring it up casually.

So, he asked again, “Is the room to your liking?” “Yes, it is, First Prince,” Nnenna answered.

Somto’s calm, indifferent expression finally shifted, into a deep frown.

The first sign of emotion he had shown since arriving.

“I am your first brother,” he corrected firmly.

“You can call me ‘first big brother’ or ‘first brother,’ but calling me by my title?

That would sound weird.” He trailed off as if realizing how odd the correction sounded himself.

Nnenna raised an eyebrow.

Was this another part of the Grand Ball preparations?

Did he want her to call him “first big brother” just so people wouldn’t be suspicious?

She decided not to ask.

Then she suddenly remembered something important, his gifts.

“Thank you for the books and study materials you sent through the hospital director,” she said sincerely.

Somto gave a small nod but paused as he processed her words.
