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

Chapter 175: Accusations Chapter 175: Accusations But then he hesitated.

His mission echoed in his mind.

If he spoke up for her now, if he showed his hand too soon, it might jeopardize the bigger picture.

So, he did what he had always done for the past ten years, he turned away and walked off, burying his thoughts beneath layers of restraint.

The moment he was gone, every pretense shattered.

Ebere scoffed, stepping closer, her voice low and sharp.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” she accused, her eyes burning with frustration as she stared at Nnenna.

Nnenna barely flinched as Obinna lashed out, his words dripping with jealousy and frustration.

“All these past weeks, you said you did not need training,” he spat, his eyes dark with resentment.

“Or were you secretly training all along?

I don’t know how you did it, but you are really despicable.” His anger wasn’t just about her victory, it was about what he had overheard.

On his way there, he had caught whispers from the nobles, murmurs that stung more than he wanted to admit.

‘Prince Minjun is exceptional, but can you believe Princess Nnenna defeated him?

What was that supposed to mean?

That he, the second prince, should now live under her glory?

That he, who had trained all his life to be recognized, was now being overlooked for someone who had not even been taken seriously before now?

He stepped closer, his jaw tight.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” His voice was low but sharp enough to cut through the air.

“You wanted to show off in front of big brother.

You probably even knew those two princes were coming!

You do not have any compassion in you, do you?” Obinna scoffed, shaking his head.
