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

Chapter 202: Unable to Help Chapter 202: Unable to Help “What a joke.

The hunt is a tradition for true royalty, for those born into nobility.

She doesn’t even qualify to stand among us, let alone ride beside us!” More voices chimed in, nodding and murmuring their agreement.

“She should just leave before she embarrasses herself further,” a high ranking noblewoman declared.

“The longer she stays, the worse this humiliation will become.” “If I were her, I would disappear in shame,” another said with a cold smirk.

Her fingers curled slightly at her sides, but her face remained unreadable.

She would not run.

She would not bow.

She would not give them the satisfaction of seeing her break.

Prince Ankhbayar tensed, his hands clenched into fists as he prepared to step forward and defend Nnenna.

But before he could take a single step, a firm hand gripped his arm, pulling him back.

“You are the First Prince of Roxurun.

There is no way you are marrying an adopted daughter.

He turned to face his father, frustration burning in his chest.

“Father, she is not a bad person.

King Altan’s gaze darkened, but his grip did not loosen.
