Chapter 270: I Haven’t Changed Chapter 270: I Haven’t Changed The realization left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Her sister was suffering in silence.
And that?
That was unacceptable.
Steeling herself, she made her way to Ebere’s rooms, her footsteps silent against the grand hallways of the castle.
She knocked softly, pressing her ear to the door as she waited for a response.
Ebere cracked open the door, peeking through the gap.
The moment she saw who it was, her eyes lit up.
“Nnenna!” she exclaimed softly, a smile breaking through her otherwise weary expression.
She stepped aside, quickly ushering her younger sister inside before closing the door behind her.
“You came,” she said, a mixture of relief and joy in her voice.
Nnenna didn’t hesitate.
She slipped inside immediately, but there was something on her mind.
“I brought you something,” she said, holding up a small package.
Ebere’s eyes flickered with curiosity.
“What is it?” “Food,” Nnenna answered simply.
“I know that Second Brother has been limiting your food supply.
So, I brought you this.” Ebere’s smile faltered for a moment before she sighed.
“He is limiting my food, that’s true,” she admitted, “but it’s not as bad as it sounds.
He’s not a cruel person.
He still makes sure I eat.” “I know,” Nnenna replied, her voice softer now.
She understood that their second brother’s actions, harsh as they seemed, weren’t out of pure malice.
But still, Ebere deserved more.
