Chapter 156: Rising Feelings Chapter 156: Rising Feelings Whatever doubts they had held about Nnenna were crumbling with every second that passed.

She had not only danced with a legend, she had danced like one.

Arthur, still holding her hand, stared at her with an intensity that sent a shiver down Nnenna’s spine.

Murmurs of approval spread through the crowd.

“I never imagined she could dance like that.” “She kept up with Prince Arthur, no, she matched him!” “What a revelation… Have we been wrong about her all along?” Even the nobles who had once dismissed Nnenna when they heard rumours of her adoption were now nodding in admiration.
