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

Chapter 169: Challenge 2 Chapter 169: Challenge 2 The next match was set, Lionara versus Dixan.

Prince Somto mounted his horse once again, his expression unreadable, while Prince Minjun did the same, his usual calm demeanor giving nothing away.

The tension in the air was thick; everyone knew this would be a battle worth watching.

But just as the signal was about to be given, a sharp voice cut through the anticipation.

“Stop!

I want to compete with him.” A stunned silence followed.

Heads turned, eyes darting around to locate the speaker.

But when they realized who had spoken, the shock only deepened.

It was Second Princess Nnenna.

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.

“What did she just say?” “Did she mean Prince Minjun?

Is she seriously trying to take Somto’s place?” “She can’t be serious.

Minjun already proved he is a master rider.

She would be crushed.” The royal seats were filled with incredulous expressions.

Even those who had come to expect boldness from the second princess were taken aback.

Competing against other princesses was one thing, but challenging a prince, especially one as formidable as Minjun?

That was unheard of.

King Ikechukwu immediately stood, his gaze sharp and questioning.

“What is the meaning of this, Nnenna?” But she did not shrink under his scrutiny.

Instead, she lifted her chin and met his gaze squarely.

“Father, I want to compete with Prince Minjun.

I want to compare notes with him.” Her voice was unwavering, her confidence unshaken.

The murmurs grew louder.
