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

Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Humiliation Chapter 157: Humiliation King Ikechukwu “…” Queen Chioma “…” Queen Mother “…’ The guests “…” Gasps broke out in the crowd.

Did he just—?

Was he dismissing the king?

Carl did not stop there.

He gestured lazily, his next words sending another shockwave through the hall.

“We are not worthy of such company.” The sarcasm in his voice was undeniable.

“Rather than you, we would prefer our friends to keep us company.” He turned slightly, locking eyes with Nnenna and Somto.

“We want them to sit beside us.” The silence that followed was deafening.

The king’s face was unreadable, but his fingers had curled so tightly around the chair’s armrest that his knuckles turned white.

The nobles couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.

The most powerful ruler in the room had been rejected.

His presence deemed unnecessary.

And in his place, two younger, lesser ranked royals were chosen instead.

The servants hesitated, looking between the king and the princes.

But with a stiff nod, the king conceded.

His and the queen’s chairs were moved back, along with the other royal family members.

They moved the seats directly behind Arthur and Carl.

But just as they were about to be seated again…

Carl’s expression darkened again.

“Why are you moving them so near us?” he asked, his voice carrying a dangerous edge.

“How are we supposed to be comfortable if you sit directly behind us?” King Ikechukwu “…” The king’s jaw clenched, but he said nothing for a few minutes Arthur, sitting beside Carl, cast a glance at the king, a look that barely concealed his disdain.

It was as if he was staring at someone utterly foolish, but unlike Carl, he didn’t bother speaking.
