She wasn't ready to surrender her throne, not now, not ever.
So, the scheming began again.
After sulking in silence for a day, she bounced back, more determined than ever to restore her reputation and prove that Nnenna meant absolutely nothing to Prince Carl.
She had already spent the night convincing her loyal followers, her so called henchmen, and now they were fully onboard, whispering lies and twisting the truth with well practiced ease.
"The only reason Prince Carl rushed to her," one of them said in the hallway with dramatic flair, "was because she's a fellow student. Obviously. No prince wants one of his students harmed under his watch, it's just responsibility, not affection."
"Exactly," another chimed in. "Besides, Nnenna always shamelessly sits behind Jana in class. That's probably why the prince thought they were close. Anyone would panic if they thought their girlfriend's friend was in danger. It's basic human decency."
