Chapter 187: Narcissism Chapter 187: Narcissism Were they hearing the same thing she was?

Prince Carl, who had barely spoken to her even once, was now vouching for her?

Not only that, he was creating an opportunity for her to fight?

“What is going on?” she whispered to herself.

She glanced at Carl, trying to understand.

Had he mistaken her for someone else?

Had he heard rumors and assumed she was stronger than she actually was?

Because if she was being honest with herself, she had no confidence in defeating Asher.

Gigangum’s first prince was a monster in battle, and even though she had trained for this competition, it was nowhere near the level needed to face someone like him.

And yet… Carl believed in her.

It was an odd, unfamiliar feeling.

No one had ever placed this kind of trust in her abilities before, not even her own family.

And now, a prince from another kingdom had done it in front of the entire arena.

A warmth spread through her chest, drowning out the fear creeping up her spine.

If someone like Carl thought she was strong, then she had to prove it.

She had to at least try.

She couldn’t disgrace him.

Unknowingly, a small smile formed on her lips.

Meanwhile, her family reacted in different ways.

Her parents exchanged looks, surprised but not opposed.

Her siblings were equally confused.
