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

Chapter 281

Chapter 281: How Much I Hated You Chapter 281: How Much I Hated You His jaw was tight.

His eyes flickered with something heavy, something painful.

“This…” he began, voice low, “is a letter from Ruth.” Everyone stilled.

He held it up like it weighed more than it should.

“She sent this to me just before they were imprisoned.

Before communications were cut off.” Nnenna moved quietly to his side.

She didn’t say anything, but gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

Just a touch.

That was all.

But it was enough.

The trembling in his hand lessened as if her calm had transferred to him.

No magic.

No system cheat.

Just her presence, solid, unshaken.

“She wrote down everything,” Abuchi said, straightening slightly.

“The positions of remaining loyalist soldiers, the weak points in the occupation routes, a few supply locations, and even some hidden pathways they used when evacuating the palace.

If the Council had approved sending reinforcements sooner… if our second brother hadn’t stalled…” He didn’t finish that thought.

He didn’t need to.

Everyone could hear the anger buried beneath his calm.

And the guilt.

After a moment of silence, he inhaled sharply and continued, his voice more composed.

“Anyway… I’ll read it out.” The group leaned in, even Karen, grudgingly so.

Whatever tension had been in the air, it was now replaced by something else.

Hope.

Or maybe desperation dressed up as hope.

Nnenna stayed close to him, her hand slipping back to her side as she listened.

She wasn’t just a tagalong anymore.

She was part of this.
