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

Chapter 199: All Against Her Chapter 199: All Against Her “What kind of behavior is that?” she demanded, her tone cold and cutting.

For a few moments, the entire room was silent.

All eyes were on Nnenna, watching, waiting, expecting her to break down, to cry, to show something that proved the revelation had wounded her.

But all they saw was… mild annoyance.

Nothing dramatic.

No tears.

No anger.

Just an expression that said she was more irritated than shattered.

That wasn’t what they expected.

King Ikechukwu cleared his throat and finally spoke.

“If we hadn’t addressed this immediately, it would have worked against you,” he explained, his voice firm.

“That’s why we held this meeting, to control the situation before it spiraled further.

Since you were not around, we decided to handle it ourselves.

It was the right thing to do.” Nnenna knew there was truth in his words, so she didn’t argue.

Instead, she simply asked, “What’s your decision then, Father?” The king’s eyes met hers.

“My decision is to confirm the rumors.

I will publicly announce that you were, indeed, adopted ten years ago.

I will tell them that when I visited one of the orphanages in the capital city, I felt a strong affinity with you.

Your birth parents were mixed blood warriors who died in battle.

To honor their sacrifice and to further my duty as a king who values his people, including the children of fallen soldiers, I brought you into this family as my own daughter.” His words were spoken with confidence, but Nnenna could see the hidden layers beneath them.

It was a calculated move.

A carefully crafted statement that not only justified her adoption but also turned it into an act of nobility and patriotism, one that no one could openly criticize without questioning the king’s dedication to his people.

Clever.
