They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 75 - Tonight, They Can Wait

With a roll of her eyes, Nnenna stepped back into her room, shutting the door behind her.

She wasn’t in the mood for childish mind games.

Not today.

Ikenna’s cold farewell still weighed on her heart, and the uncertainty of when she would see Nurse Courage again only deepened her unhappiness.

She let out a slow sigh and unzipped her medium sized suitcase.

Most of her belongings had been trashed, leaving the room emptier than ever.

She glanced around at the bare space, her lips pressing into a thin line.

This place had never felt like home, but now it looked just as hollow as it felt.

With another sigh, she sank to the floor, lying flat on her back as her mind started to race.

The dinner.

She was going.

And she knew something would happen there.

There was no way Ebere’s invitation was just a simple, innocent gesture.

It was a setup, a trap, or maybe even something worse.

But that was fine.

If they wanted to play games, she would play too.

She just had to be ready.

And she would be.

A few minutes later, the housekeeper returned with a tray of food.

Nnenna accepted it with a small nod and ate in silence, her mind already racing with strategies for the night.

Once she finished, she placed the tray aside and leaned back against the wall.

“Love System,” she called out, her voice firm.

“I might need you during the dinner.

How many good points do I have now?”

Ding!

“You currently have 1,635 good points remaining.”

“Good.” She smirked.

“I’m going to be feasting with devils tonight.

And anyone who dines with devils must use a long spoon.

You’ll be my long spoon.”

The Love System remained silent for a moment before replying in a flat tone.

“If you can avoid using your good points, avoid it.”

Nnenna raised an eyebrow.

“You’ll need them more one day, so don’t depend on them too much.”

The girl only hummed in response, nodding as if she understood.

But in her mind?

She was planning something completely different.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, the clock struck 7:00 p.m.

dinner time.

Yet, Nnenna remained in her room, making no move to leave.

Knock.

Knock.

“Princess Nnenna, His Majesty is asking for you,” a female voice called from outside.

She smirked.

They were already getting impatient.

“I’ll be there soon.

Just need to get ready,” she replied casually.

The sound of retreating footsteps followed.

She took her time, not rushing, because tonight… they could wait.

Ten minutes later, the same voice returned, this time, laced with clear impatience.

“Nnenna!

His Majesty is asking for you!” The female voice didn’t bother maintaining courtesy anymore.

Nnenna smiled, standing up slowly.

“I’ll be there soon,” she said, her tone deliberately slow and controlled.

“I have to show up well dressed, right?

To show my respects to Father.”

She emphasized the word Father, a reminder.

A reminder that she was still a princess, no matter how low her status.

Silence.

Then, a more cautious voice responded, “O-okay, Princess Nnenna.”

Five minutes passed.

This time, a different voice came from outside her door.

“Princess Nnenna, the royal family is waiting for you.

I’m here to escort you.”

Escort?

Nnenna smirked.

He meant make sure she had no choice but to attend.

Silence.

The guard waited, his patience thinning.

When no reply came, he clenched his fists, ready to break down the door in frustration.

But just as his foot lifted, a voice floated from inside.

“Okay, I’m almost done here.

I just need to put on my clothes.”

The guard froze.

The moment the words “put on clothes” registered in his brain, his entire body stiffened.

Breaking into a royal’s room while she was changing?

Even if the king and queen didn’t care about Nnenna, the consequences for him could be severe.

After all, if word got out that a princess’s privacy had been violated, it wouldn’t just be his head on the line, the royal family’s reputation would take a hit.

He swallowed hard and took a step back, forcing himself to wait.

The guard stood by the door, his initial irritation replaced with caution.

Inside, Nnenna sat back down, watching his shadow retreat through the gap under the door.

She had intended to make things easy for him, planning to open the door once she was dressed.

But when he had nearly forced his way in, she saw no need to pity him anymore.

So she made him wait.

Ten more minutes passed before she finally emerged from her storage closet at exactly 7:38 p.m.

She wore one of her favorite dresses, a long, faded orange gown.

Though washed out, it was still orange, her favorite color, and one of the best she owned.

“I’m ready now,” she said, her voice calm yet indifferent.

Without sparing the guard a glance, she walked toward the dining room.

Her light, graceful steps carried an elegance she had never displayed before.

Like a true princess, she glided away, leaving the guard frozen in place, watching her retreating figure with a dazed expression.

He couldn’t shake the feeling, something about her had changed.

The guard had served in the castle long before Nnenna arrived.
