But I’m not interested in any of that.” He sighed, leaning against the railing.

“I’m only 18.

I just want to live my life.

I have no interest in worrying about marriage, ascension, and all those responsibilities just yet.

It seemed she wasn’t the only one trapped by expectations.

“And I think you want that too, freedom,” he said, looking at Nnenna intently.

He was right.

Internally, Nnenna had been yearning for freedom ever since she arrived in this kingdom.

From what her sister had told her in her past life, it was obvious that she was different, how exactly, she didn’t know, but she just was.

She let out a soft sigh before replying, “Yes, you’re right.” She lowered her gaze, her voice calm but tinged with a hint of sadness.

I mean, today is supposed to be my sixteenth birthday, and yet, not a single person has even bothered to say, ‘Congratulations on your new year.'” The prince studied her for a moment before responding.

“That’s unfortunate.

A birthday should be a day of celebration, not politics.” His voice was softer now, as if he truly sympathized with her.

“Happy birthday, Princess Nnenna.” She looked up at him, slightly surprised, and for the first time that night, a genuine smile touched her lips.

“Thank you, Prince…?” Nnenna asked, realizing she didn’t know his name.
