Pushing Her Down the stairs

Yet, in all those years, he had never sensed such a powerful aura from her.

Before, she had been timid, eager to please, an easy target. A girl constantly overlooked and ridiculed.

Her lack of favor with the royal family had only made things worse.

But now…

Something was different.

Realizing she was already steps away from the dining hall, he hurriedly followed.

Her light, deliberate steps were deceptively quick.

The family dining room

The moment Nnenna stepped inside, the room fell silent.

All eyes turned to her.

First, anger.

Then, shock.

Finally, assessment.

Nnenna's gaze swept across the room, her mind sharpening as she evaluated her opponents.

To his left, Queen Chioma sat in her usual place, her posture elegant yet cold.

On his right, the Queen Mother, watching with sharp, knowing eyes.
