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

Chapter 347

Chapter 346: Full Panick Mode

Abuchi’s grin deepened, the kind of grin that only someone who had been wronged could wear. “I’m not lying, Eglon. And the only thing you’ve done is offend people you shouldn’t have offended. Now you’re about to find out exactly what that means.”

The moment hung heavy in the air. King Eglon stood frozen as realization settled into his bones like ice.

The Crown Prince of Lionara.

His face twitched, then shifted into a forced smile as he stepped forward, trying to salvage whatever dignity he could grasp.

“Your Highness,” Eglon said with a bow that didn’t quite reach the ground. His voice shook, the words coming out too quickly. “Forgive this chaos. We had no idea you were involved. If there’s anything I can do to—”

Somto said nothing. His boots hit the stone ground with calm, controlled power as he dismounted. His uniform was pristine, sharp with authority, the dark coat lined with silver trim that caught the sunlight. He didn’t even spare Eglon a glance.

He walked straight past the trembling king, each step echoing across the silent execution ground.

His eyes locked onto one person, Nnenna.

Everyone watched in confusion as he stopped in front of her.

Nnenna’s breath caught. She tried to speak, but no sound came out.

Without a word, Somto gently reached for her hands.

She flinched slightly, unsure.

But he took her hands anyway. Slowly. Carefully. Reverently.

And he didn’t let go.

His fingers wrapped around hers like she was the only thing holding him to the world.

Then, his eyes narrowed.

He raised her arm slightly and turned it, revealing a faint bruise just under the sleeve. A fresh scrape across her knuckles. Dried blood. Nothing life threatening, but enough to send a visible wave of fury through Somto’s entire body.

He exhaled through his nose, like a dragon holding back fire.
