But not everyone was enjoying the moment.
Anya, standing at the side, watched the scene unfold with a frown. Unlike the others, she wasn't celebrating Nnenna's supposed downfall.
She knew what it was like to lose something, or someone, you desperately wanted. Even though she had once been confident in her position, it was clear that Arthur had been drawn to Nnenna instead.
And now, Arthur was gone, having vanished without a word in the past few days. His absence left an aching emptiness in her heart, a reminder that her chance had slipped away.
So, as she looked at Nnenna standing there, surrounded by people waiting for her to fail, she couldn't bring herself to feel joy. If anything, she pitied her.
Across the room, Queen Chioma's eyes narrowed. He believed that Nnenna had scored poorly.
