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

Chapter 570: What’s Your Secret??

His voice carried a quiet warmth. "It’s alright to bend a few rules. It’s not as if she would poison me."

Nnenna smiled faintly and moved to help him into his chair before taking the seat across from him.

Nanny, however, was not finished. She turned toward Nnenna, her tone respectful but firm. "Princess, I know you care deeply for your brother, and you must also know that we all do. Long before you arrived, we’ve been tending to His Highness with everything in us. But if you come in and undo the order we’ve built, it could cause harm instead of help.

Before she could waver, she rose to her feet. "Make sure you eat well and rest. I’ll have my dinner downstairs." And with determined steps, she left the room before doubt could chase her back.

Carl’s eyes followed her until she disappeared. A faint smile tugged at his lips. Then, turning to Nanny, he asked half joking, half serious, "Do you have some kind of miracle in your voice? She barely ever listens to me like that. What’s your secret?"

Nanny chuckled, laughter bubbling out of her like it had been waiting all day. "Nothing, Your Highness. That’s just her caring about you. She obeyed because of that."
