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

Chapter 355

Chapter 354: Her Transformation

Somto emerged with quiet grace, the type that commanded respect without demanding it. He still hadn’t let go of Nnenna’s hand.

Nnenna followed, her feet touching the palace grounds for the first time in weeks, but her mind was elsewhere. The moment Somto stepped out, she had expected him to release her, especially now that they were back in the full glare of Lionara’s court.
