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

Chapter 197

Chapter 197: The secret was out 2 Chapter 197: The secret was out 2 But disappointment did not mean hesitation.

Without wasting a second, they shifted their focus.

Regret gnawed at them.

They had showered Nnenna with expensive gifts, believing her to be a true royal, one worth investing in.

Now, those gifts felt wasted.

And worse… the First Princess must have noticed.

On the first day of the ball, they had presented their gifts exactly as tradition demanded, placing their most precious gifts on the table for Nnenna.

Now, it was too late to take them back.

That meant the First Princess had likely realized the harsh truth, her gifts were inferior to her sister’s.

Would she still agree to a marriage alliance with them after such an insult?

Panic set in among the monarchs.

Their carefully laid plans had crumbled in an instant, and they scrambled for ways to salvage the situation.

Their frustration grew, their anger looking for an outlet.

Should they direct it at the King of Lionara for allowing such a deception?

At the royal family for keeping the truth hidden?

Or at Nnenna herself, the girl who had walked among them, accepting their gifts, pretending to be one of them?

They needed someone to blame.

And since they couldn’t openly challenge the King or the royal family, they chose the weakest target.

Nnenna.

Their resentment, their humiliation, their wounded pride, all of it would be thrown onto her shoulders.

She was no longer a potential queen or a valuable political ally.

She was a fraud.

And she would pay for it.

She should have told them from the start.
