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. For the sake of your love for your brother, I ask that you follow the rules as they are, so things can continue as smoothly as they have before."

Hmm

Nnenna sighed, a faint guilt tugging at her. Staying close to Carl would make her investigation easier, but these protocols had been protecting him for years.

The last thing she wanted was for anyone to think she couldn’t follow the rules. After all, just because Carl gave her a title didn’t mean she had earned everyone’s respect yet.

"I’ll follow the rules," she finally said.

Carl blinked at her, surprise flickering across his face. He had to glance twice just to be sure this was the same stubborn, ’I’ll do whatever I want’ Nnenna he knew. "You don’t have to," he said softly. "I don’t mind."

"No, I want to. It’s necessary for your safety, so I’ll follow the rules."

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."
