Chapter 386: What an Unusual Gift

King Seungho chuckled quietly to himself, “And to think I planned to gift a song…”

The moment was lingering, but court protocol called things to order again. A high ranking attendant walked forward, bowing, then raising his voice gently:

“The gifting shall now continue.”

And so it did.

Next was Ebere.

The hall quieted as she rose.

Ebere had always carried herself with poise, always the calm within storms. As she stepped forward, her heels clicked softly against the marbled floor.

Her expression was unreadable but steady, her gift cradled in both hands.

A few in the crowd whispered softly.

“Is that Princess Ebere? I haven’t seen her in public in months.”

“She used to be Somto’s shadow… wonder what she’ll bring.”

“She was the most vibrant one, right?”

“You don’t remember what happened some months ago in the grand ball? She was completely overshadowed by her sister.”

She stopped before Somto and gave a graceful, formal bow, deep, respectful, not just for a brother, but for a king.

Then she lifted the gift: a leather bound planner, large and regal. It shimmered subtly under the grand chandelier lights. The cover was embossed with the royal crest, and beneath it, etched in clean silver:

“For the Reign That Will Change the World.”

The edges were gilded in real gold. Each page inside was hand treated, layered with watermark-like designs of past rulers. A fusion of modern function and historical legacy. A planner only a true heir would deserve.
