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

Chapter 630

Chapter 630: Seeing Things More Clearly

His voice was cold as ever, but there was a faint warmth beneath the edge. "We could never hate you. You hear me?"

Nnenna looked from him to Carl, who nodded immediately, his eyes full of conviction. Slowly, she returned the nod. "I hear you. Both of you."

"Good," Carl said, straightening at last. His lips twitched into the first hint of a smile. "Now that we’re all soaked to the bone, I think it’s time we went inside."

Arthur allowed the corner of his mouth to lift, amused despite himself, as Carl retrieved his umbrella. He picked his own back up as well, and for the first time that night, the air around them felt lighter.

"I’m so going to need a hot bath," Carl muttered as they walked back toward the castle, rain still dripping from their clothes. "Our flight back to Riverum is in a few hours. I still have leftover work to finish...and we need to go over our strategy to reclaim your kingdom, Nnenna."

He shot her a sideways glance. "Somto documented everything. I would like us to end this. The sooner, the better. Now that they not only know you’re alive but also know where you are, it’s too dangerous to let this war drag on. You’ve been hiding for years, and I don’t want you living like that again."

His voice softened slightly. "Plus, you’ll be eighteen in less than five months, the exact legal age to rule. And for me, the best time to take back your kingdom."

Arthur’s brow furrowed. "We still need a strategy to deal with that black thing Athena is working with. Something tells me it’s not dead."

"We don’t even know what it is," Nnenna pointed out quietly. "We need to find out first. We can’t fight something we don’t understand." She hesitated, then added with quiet conviction, "But one thing I’m sure of, we can defeat it."

"How?" both men asked at once.

"I don’t know yet..." Nnenna admitted, eyes narrowing slightly as if steeling herself. "...but I’m sure of it."
