Chapter 141: Across the Seas Chapter 141: Across the Seas A disturbing thought settled in her mind.

If they weren’t the kingdom’s soldiers… then whose soldiers were they?

And why were they working for Somto?

She turned her gaze to him again, suspicion flickering in her eyes.

Somto met her stare without flinching, as if he had been expecting her reaction.

He read the thoughts written all over her face, but as always, he chose not to explain.

Instead, he simply said, “This is everything you will need for the Grand Ball and even after.

Just try to use them.

They’ll help you stand out so that all your efforts won’t be in vain.” As soon as he said those words, Somto paused, realizing he had made a mistake.

A huge mistake.

But, as always, his face remained unreadable.

He glanced at Nnenna, watching for her reaction.

For a brief moment, he caught a flicker of surprise in her eyes, but to his astonishment, she quickly masked it.

Interesting.

It wasn’t perfect, he could still sense her emotions beneath the surface, but it was progress.

Not long ago, he could read her like an open book.

Now, she was learning to hide her thoughts.

Good.

“That’s it, then,” he said abruptly, ending the conversation before he said something he wasn’t supposed to.

Without another word, he turned and walked out of the room.

The moment he was gone, Nnenna let out the breath she didn’t realize she was holding.
