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

Chapter 369: Gathering of Powerhouses

According to tradition, the Crown Prince was to make his entrance last, as the star of the night. Custom dictated that he walk in beside the Crown Princess, his chosen partner and future queen, as a symbol of unity and strength for the kingdom.

It was always a moment the court anticipated, one that marked the beginning of a new era. But this time, there was no Crown Princess.

There had been no official announcement, no public engagement. And so, when the time came, he was expected to enter alone.

By all means, he wanted to walk in with Nnenna, but she seemed to have guessed his thoughts and had entered earlier, long before the rest of the family. She was avoiding him.

Left with no other suitable choice, Somto straightened his shoulders, fixed his ceremonial cloak, and decided to walk in alone.

On the other side of the great hall, Abel had just stepped in with Jane after their announcement. She was doing her best to keep her mouth from falling open. Her eyes sparkled in every direction as she took in the magnificence surrounding her.

The Coronation Hall was the very definition of regal splendor. Towering columns lined the path to the throne, each wrapped in silk and gold thread that shimmered under the warm glow of enchanted chandeliers suspended high above.

The chandeliers weren’t just lights, they were floating works of art, dripping with crystal teardrops that refracted light like dancing stars.

The throne itself sat atop a grand, elevated platform carved from white granite veined with gold. Intricate carvings of past kings and legendary creatures spiraled along the staircases leading to it, telling silent stories of valor and wisdom.

Draped in a cascade of crimson and royal blue, the throne looked more like a divine altar than a seat of power, majestic, powerful, and demanding awe.

And above it, encased in a glass dome on a velvet pedestal, was the crown.

It was no ordinary ornament. Forged from celestial silver and laced with rare Lionaran rubies, sapphires, and moonstones, it pulsed gently with light, as if the crown itself recognized the weight of the moment and the legacy it carried.

The guests were a sea of nobility and power. Kings, queens, emperors, sultans, high chiefs, and envoys from every major kingdom in the continent filled the hall.

Each guest glittered in ceremonial robes of their native kingdoms, with layers of silk, beadwork, and embroidery that told tales of history, culture, and wealth.

Jewels sparkled like starlight on collars, wrists, and headdresses. Even the guards posted at strategic points around the room wore ceremonial armor, polished until they gleamed like living statues.

The air hummed with tension and anticipation. Was this just a coronation? Or a moment that would shift the balance of power across the continent?

No one could say for sure. Whispers fluttered through the hall like moths, quiet speculations, hushed calculations, veiled curiosity.

And yet, despite the murmurs, the atmosphere was nothing short of sacred.
