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

Chapter 593: No Ordinary Girl

"I may not be a lawyer, but I’ve read enough to know how this court works. Thank you very much."

Daniel’s face tightened, but before he could snap back, the Prime Minister raised a hand. His sharp, aged eyes studied Nnenna in silence. For a heartbeat, no one breathed. Then, to everyone’s shock, he leaned back in his chair.

"Over four decades."

A wave of murmurs passed through the crowd.

Nnenna nodded slowly. "So, you not only served the previous king... you also watched his son grow up."

"I did." The housekeeper’s gaze drifted, softening as he recalled. "I was there the very day he was born." His voice lowered, almost wistful, before hardening again.
