They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 166: Effortless Chapter 166: Effortless From the Lionaran section, Queen Chioma allowed the slightest, most satisfied smile to grace her lips.

Ebere’s smirk deepened as she slowly leaned forward, as if sharing a secret with the prince.

“Next time,” she whispered loud enough for only him to hear, “at least try.” Then, with a flick of her reins, she rode off, leaving him standing there, a broken, humiliated mess.

As the next lot was drawn, the announcer’s voice rang across the field.

“Roxurun versus the Kingdom of Belmora!” A collective sigh swept through the crowd.

Everyone knew how this would go.

Prince Ankhbayar of Roxurun was already seated atop his horse, looking completely indifferent.

His calm, measured posture radiated quiet dominance.

He barely even glanced at his opponent, a noble from the minor Kingdom of Belmora, who, despite his clear nervousness, held his head high.

Even though everyone knew the outcome, the Belmoran prince refused to back down.

“At least he has some pride,” someone muttered.

The referee raised the flag.

“Riders, take your positions!” Ankhbayar adjusted his grip lazily as if this were a mere morning ride rather than a competition.

“Ready…” His opponent stiffened, gripping his reins tightly.

“Set…” The tension barely existed, everyone already knew what was coming.

“Go!” In the blink of an eye, Ankhbayar surged forward.

Or rather, his horse did.

Because while the Belmoran prince rode with all his strength, urging his horse forward desperately, Ankhbayar… simply let his stallion run.

No struggle.

No visible effort.

No urgency.

Yet, within seconds, he was several paces ahead.
