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

Chapter 354

Chapter 353: Possessive

Later that evening, after the tension had eased and King Mesha had been properly reinstated on his throne, the Lionara party began preparing to leave. Their mission in Purlit was over. For now.

The skies were darker than usual, like even the heavens were exhausted from the day’s events.

Abuchi lingered beside Ruth, eyes troubled. He didn’t want to part with her, not yet, but he also had no choice. Their family had to return home, and fast. There was still much to do.

The official coronation of Somto as king.

The public announcement of their father’s death.

And, perhaps most importantly… the message they needed to send to the world.

Lionara wasn’t weakened.

The kingdom had feared revealing the former king’s death because it would have exposed their vulnerability. Predators always circled wounded prey.

But now?

Now that their elder brother was back, alive, dangerous, and cold as iron, no one would dare test their strength.

Somto was Lionara’s hidden weapon.

A ghost in the shadows. A blade drawn only when needed.

And those who dared challenge Lionara now would only be hurling themselves into the jaws of death.

The journey back to Lionara was smooth, eerily smooth. It took less than a week, especially with the private jet Somto had arranged.

To Abuchi, it was just a normal flight. Another day, another jet. But to the others, Nnenna, John, and Ekene, it was something else entirely.

None of them had ever flown like this before.
