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

Chapter 442: Status: In Denial

Ava swallowed, then added, “You should be more worried about what Jana can do to you… Maybe ask my brothers for help. Before it’s too late.”

Her tone was sincere, but she forced a bit of sharpness into her voice. She didn’t want it to sound like she cared too much, even though she did.

There was silence at first. Then, slowly, Nnenna opened her eyes.

“You seem to have forgotten how I got into this school,” she said calmly, her voice soft but pointed.

The words struck Ava like a slap.

Right. Big brother Somto had brought her in personally. A direct member of the school’s board of directors had escorted her, someone who rarely got involved in things like this. His influence alone was enough to keep her protected, even from someone like Jana.

So why was I even worried?

Ava blinked, the realization settling in. The king is calm, but the eunuch is the one running around panicking. The old saying floated to her mind, making her scoff at herself.

Did I really just cast myself as the eunuch?

For goodness’ sake, she was Princess Ava of the Prigrian royal family. Wherever she went, people bowed, doors opened, and her name carried weight.

She was top of her class, a certified genius, someone others looked up to… feared, even. She had countless big brothers and big sisters through her brother’s connections, all of them the creme de la creme of society, the very best in their fields.

But the girl beside her?

Somehow, Nnenna made her feel small without even trying. That same calm, quiet aura carried a strange weight, one that pushed down on your pride without touching a word of it. And yet, she was just sitting there… peaceful… as if nothing in the world could shake her.
