His voice wasn’t demanding, nor was it laced with suspicion.

“A friend?” King Ikechukwu’s brows furrowed.

Ebere scoffed.

“What friend do you have in this kingdom that could possibly teach you all that?

“Who is this friend?” There was venom in her tone, a silent threat.

The moment she found out, she would make sure that person regretted ever helping Nnenna.

But Nnenna only smiled, unfazed.

How foolish did Ebere think she was?

Did she really expect her to reveal the identity of someone who had cared for her, who had given her the skills to stand where she was now?

“And also… to understand why this person didn’t think to teach the rest of us as well.
