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

Chapter 397: Nightmare I’ll Never Forget

Chaos had erupted.

Screams tore through the hall.

Nobles backed away in horror, some collapsing to their knees, others clutching at each other as if the floor might collapse beneath them.

A royal attendant’s shriek cracked the air.

“The King! The King—he’s—!”

Soldiers still standing let out guttural, instinctive cries, battle hardened men reduced to helplessness in a single moment.

One of them even took a half step back, as if this was not the outcome they’d intended. Not like this.
