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

Chapter 595: Let’s Move to the Next Stage

The Prime Minister’s frown deepened. His eyes lingered on Nnenna, studying her, weighing her. The silence stretched until, at last, he rose from his high seat.

Murmurs stirred as he descended the steps, each measured footstep echoing through the hall. Nobody could tell what he intended until he stopped before Nnenna.

And then, he bowed.

"Your Highness," he said, voice steady but filled with respect. "I am but a humble servant, the Prime Minister, at your service. Forgive me for not recognizing you sooner."

Slowly, he raised his arm and pointed toward the highest seat, the very one he had occupied moments ago. "If you please, take your rightful place and preside over this trial."

The Prime Minister’s move shocked everyone. Murmurs burst out, confusion rippling through the chamber.

"What are you doing, my Lord?" a voice cried out. "She’s suspicious, just as Nanny said! And you yourself should sit in the highest seat not her! Also, Nanny’s right. Her room be searched as well. Ever since she arrived, His Highness has only gotten worse!"

"Shut up, Daniel!" the Prime Minister’s voice cracked like a whip, silencing the hall. His eyes burned as he fixed them on the young man. "Where does your loyalty lie?"

Daniel stiffened but answered without hesitation. "With His Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Then why do you resist accepting the one he has accepted?" the Prime Minister shot back. "If she was chosen personally by His Highness, then she is worthy. And from the way you twist your tongues against her, I suspect many of you are in need of... re education on the rules of this castle." His words thundered with authority, making several members flinch.

He turned sharply to Nanny. "As for you, your room will be searched. And know this: making accusations against a royal is not something you walk away from. Whether you are forgiven or punished depends on Her Highness."
