Love System Redemption

Chapter 612: Charming Intro

At first glance, he was striking, tall and lean, with sharp, high cheekbones, a long straight nose, and pale gray

blue eyes framed by dark brows, the kind that made his expressions seem naturally intense. It was softened only

by the kind of smile that screamed I've gotten away with this before.

Very handsome, no doubt. The kind of man who probably made girls giggle without even trying. But to Nnenna,

used to Arthur's carved from stone composure and Carl's effortless confidence, this stranger's charm felt...

cheap. Flashy. Like a sparkler compared to steady firelight.

She wheeled closer, the soft hum of her chair and faint roll of wheels against tile catching the attention of the

men.

"Nnenna," Carl said first, hesitating as if he hadn't expected her so soon.

"Good morning, people." She gave them all a small wave before nodding toward the unfamiliar man, whose eyes

had been scanning her with an amused, mischievous glint ever since she entered. "And who's this?"

"He’s—" Arthur began, but the stranger cut him off smoothly.

"I'm Darius," he said, springing to his feet with the reflexes of someone who never missed a chance to perform.

In two strides, he was at her side.

Before Nnenna could even register what was happening, he caught her right hand and bowed slightly, brushing a

soft kiss across the back of it.

"Pleased to meet you, Nnenna."

What the freak? Nnenna blinked, frozen for a few seconds in sheer disbelief not noticing the annoyed reactions

from the others in the hall.

Arthur's chair scraped sharply against the floor, dragging her attention back. His voice was low, dangerous.

"Try that again, and you can leave this castle without those lips."

Carl, arms folded, rolled his eyes like he had been expecting this exact nonsense.

"And it's Her Highness to you," he muttered pointedly, clearly unimpressed.

The housekeeper frowned, idiot he said silently. Nanny wasn’t far from his reaction. Unconsciously, she smacked

her forehead and groaned, muttering something about sidiot men in fine suits.

Nnenna finally yanked her hand back, staring at it like it had just been contaminated. "Wow. Bold much?" she

deadpanned, her lips twitching between a laugh and a grimace.

Darius only grinned wider, undeterred, clearly used to reactions like this.

Then he paused, clearly sensing the danger in the room. He raised both hands in mock surrender, flashing an

infuriatingly calm smile.

"Calm down, gentlemen. | obviously have to make a good impression when meeting my new patient for the first

time."

"Patient?" Nnenna’s eyebrows shot up, her tone sharp with disbelief.

The air in the room dropped several degrees. She didn’t even need the heat system to tell her, she could feel the

freeze. Slowly, she turned her head and spotted the source: two pairs of eyes drilling holes into Darius like they

were already planning his funeral.

But Darius, either brave or stupid, didn’t flinch. He leaned casually on the back of her wheelchair.

"Yes. Patient. You see, your two big brothers think you're taking this whole "I can never walk again" thing a little

too well. So they broughtin to, you know... pick your brains, make sure you're not bottling anything up. And

maybe help when your sunshine and rainbows routine finally cracks."

"Shut. Up." Arthur's voice cut through the air like a blade, his glare promising actual violence if Darius kept

running his mouth.

"You called in the best—" Darius began seemingly unbothered by the threat, only for the housekeeper to clear

his throat loudly, the sound dripping with sarcasm.

"Fine," Darius rolled his eyes, "the second best."

The housekeeper smirked smugly, clearly satisfied with that little victory.

Darius, undeterred, flicked a grudging glance at Carl. "Who asked His Royal Highness to go pick up another

specialty in psychiatry anyway?"

Carl, unfazed, just sipped his tea calmly, as if Darius were an annoying fly buzzing in his ear. "Jealousy doesn’t

suit you," he said flatly.

"Anyway," Darius pressed on, straightening up and gesturing theatrically at Nnenna. "You calledin because

I'm capable. You know | am. So maybe you two should stop glaring daggers and actually letdo the job." He

dragged out the last words with irritating emphasis.

Nnenna, who had been watching this circus unfold, finally tilted her head at him, her expression hovering

somewhere between amusement and irritation. "Wow. So you're a psychiatrist? Charming intro. Really

professional," she said dryly, crossing her arms.

Nanny, who had been quietly fuming at the back, muttered under her breath, "Lord preserve us... if this is the

best they've got, she'll need therapy after the therapy."

Arthur's chair creaked as his fists clenched tighter. Carl, still calm but visibly annoyed, let out the faintest sigh,

clearly wondering if bringing Darius here was a mistake.

And Darius? He just grinned like he had won something.

"Now, Nnenna," Darius said suddenly, sliding behind her wheelchair before she could protest. "Let's get you

settled."

Nanny’s eyes widened, her lips parting slightly. She had braced herself for sdisaster, maybe Darius

fumbling, or making it painfully obvious that Her Highness couldn't sit like everyone else.

Even Carl and Arthur exchanged a glance, their expressions betraying something rare: approval. Neither said

anything, but it was clear they hadn't expected Darius of all people to handle the moment so gracefully.
