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

Chapter 377: Crowned King of Lionara!

Nnenna could not see the comments, thankfully, but she could still feel eyes on her as she rejoined the sidelines. She kept her posture calm, her steps smooth, but inside, she was pacing.

It was over. She did it. No one noticed her mistakes. She did not embarrass Somto or herself.

Why did her chest feel heavier now than when it began?

The music had finally died down. The grand ballroom, once alive with swirling dancers and whispered excitement, now settled into a heavy, expectant silence.

The immense hall, its ceilings soaring like the heavens, chandeliers glittering like constellations, and banners fluttering with ancient symbols, held the collective breath of everyone present. This was no ordinary evening. Tonight, history would be made.

The guests shifted in their seats, the weight of anticipation pressing upon their chests. Courtiers dressed in the richest velvets and silks exchanged glances.

Foreign dignitaries from distant kingdoms adjusted their crowns and jewels, their faces masks of polite interest, but their eyes shining with curiosity and respect.

Common folk, watching from the livestream, leaned closer to their screens as the moment approached. Children pressed their faces against windowpanes, hoping to catch a glimpse through the distant castle windows.

At the heart of this monumental gathering stood the throne, a magnificent symbol of power, carved from ancient stone and inlaid with gold and jewels. Upon a velvet cushion rested the crown of the kingdom, gleaming with a weight far greater than mere metal.
