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

Chapter 383: Lights Went Out

“This sword has rested long enough in the shadows of our history. Today, I give it to you, my son, not as a weapon, but as a reminder: wield power not to cut, but to protect. Let it guide you when judgment blurs, and may it burn brightest in your darkest hour.”

Queen Chioma gave her speech so righteously that anyone who didn’t really know her would admire her through and through.

A profound silence followed.

Even the rowdiest corners of the livestream were frozen.

@HeartsOfLionara: This… this is cinema. This is destiny.

@SwordsAndScrolls: That sword’s value? PRICELESS. It’s like Excalibur.

@RoyalTeaSpill: I’m shook. Is this a soap opera or a coronation?

Somto stood slowly.

He descended a step from his throne, not breaking eye contact from his mother. Taking the sword in both hands, he bowed his head.

“I receive this gift, not just as your son, but as your king. I will honor the trust it carries. And you, Mother, will forever be the flame behind the flame.”

As he said this, in his heart he whispered, why couldn’t she be like this everytime? This side of her was just….. fake.

A single clap began somewhere in the audience. Then another. Then the hall erupted into thunderous applause.

The Empress Dowager nodded once more and returned to her seat, her expression unreadable, but a glint in her eye said everything…

She was proud.

The ceremonial hall buzzed again as the next family member stepped forward. Obinna, tall and proud, walked down the red carpeted path with measured steps and a pleased smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

The camera lenses found him instantly, livestream comments flaring up like sparks.

@RoyalTeaSpills: “I wonder when his company is bringing out the next upgrade to their phone. Their products are always the best!”

@PearlEyesFanClub: “What’s in the box?! He’s holding something!”
