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.

His mind raced, his heart pounded.

There was no mistake.

She danced just like her.

As the final note of the music faded and the two dancers still stood still in the center of the ballroom, an overwhelming wave of silence swept through the hall.

For a few seconds, no one spoke, as if the sheer magnificence of what they had just witnessed had robbed them of words.

Then, suddenly, applause.

It started with a few hesitant claps, then grew into a thunderous ovation.

The guests were astounded.

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.

Regardless of her status, talent was talent, and they had just seen something extraordinary.

She was supposed to be the most celebrated princess, not the one standing forgotten in the corner while all eyes were on Nnenna.

“She’s ruining everything,” she muttered under her breath, her vision blurring with anger.

Unable to take it any longer, she spun around and stormed out of the ballroom.
