Chapter 200: Confirming the Rumours Chapter 200: Confirming the Rumours His words would determine their next actions, whether they would continue to seek alliances through the second princess or quietly withdraw and change their target.
Behind him, his family followed in a solemn procession.

At the very front, standing tall, eyes forward, was Nnenna.

The courtyard fell into a hushed silence as King Ikechukwu stepped forward, his regal presence commanding attention.
The golden torches lining the area flickered, casting long shadows as the anticipation in the air grew thick.

The nobles, ministers, and foreign dignitaries sat stiffly, their expressions ranging from curiosity to quiet unease.
His own family stood behind him, their postures straight, their expressions unreadable, except for Nnenna, whose gaze remained unwavering.

“Yes, it is true.
Princess Nnenna Achebe is not my daughter by birth, but by choice.
