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

Chapter 151: Revelations Chapter 151: Revelations His tone was low but firm.

“You knew she was the one who was supposed to start this dance.” Queen Chioma’s patience finally snapped.

“I would never prioritize Nnenna over Ebere!” she hissed.

“I’m not the one who prepared those clothes for her!” King Ikechukwu was visibly shocked.

“If you didn’t, then who did?

How did she get those two dresses?

I knew those dresses weren’t from around here!

Their materials are unlike anything I’ve ever seen.” He paused, taking a deep breath to steady himself.

“But that doesn’t matter now.

Let her just start the dance with one of those princes.” As his words echoed, murmurs began to ripple through the crowd.

Meanwhile, Nnenna stood silently, scanning the array of eligible partners before her.

Who will accompany me for the dance?

she wondered, her eyes moving over the gathered princes.

Her gaze settled on Prince Ankhbayar, someone she was more familiar with than the others, and she was about to move toward him when suddenly, the housekeeper’s voice rang out.

The entire ballroom fell into an eerie silence as the housekeeper’s voice rang out, clear and commanding over the murmuring crowd.

“Announcing His Royal Highness, Prince Carl of Riverum Kingdom!” A ripple of gasps swept through the hall.

The name alone sent a shiver through the spines of nobles, royals, and foreign dignitaries alike.

Riverum?

The legendary kingdom across the seas?

The kingdom so mysterious that even the most well traveled scholars had barely any records of it?

Nnenna’s breath hitched.

Prince Carl?

From Riverum?
