303 The Inauguration Speech f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

The ceremony was still going on. Two staff members walked forward with a cushion in their hands. On it were the crowns for the King and Queen.

The music started playing again, and everyone present stood up. The coronation ceremony was about to begin officially.

I grabbed Michael’s hand nervously as I stared at Brandon and Courtney at the front.

Even on such an important occasion, their eyes were always on each other. I noticed that they were the same as Michael and me. They were always holding hands and never separated.

They looked like a match made in heaven. I was sure they would be even greater than the previous King because they could infinitely enhance each other’s strength as a mate.

As the ceremony went on, I saw Brandon kneeling in front of his father and accepting the crown passed down to him by his father.

When Brandon stood up with the crown on his head, everyone cheered for him. Next was the Queen, who also gave her crown to Courtney.

Brandon and Courtney bowed to the former Lycan King and Queen before standing at the forefront of the platform.

At this time, his father and mother had already come down.

All of us had our eyes on the new king and Queen. They looked young and powerful, confident and ambitious.

We were all waiting for Brandon’s first speech as the Lycan King.

“Dear guests, my fellow countrymen, today is a special day. A long time ago, we experienced a long period of chaos and challenges. We experienced war and witnessed blood and suffering, but we overcame the difficulties in the end. It’s because we’re united that we have today.

“Today, I’m standing here, with the Moon Goddess as my witness, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power between two kings, just like we did in the past. I’m very honored to be able to take over this responsibility from my father, the great Lycan King, and to lead us to a brighter future.

“When we set our sights on the future, just because I’ve inherited the position of the Lycan King doesn’t mean that I have supreme power. The power belongs to all of you, and I will always speak for you. We’ve once experienced storms and disputes in war and peace to reach the heights we have today, but we still have a long way to go.

“Right now, we are facing an unprecedented challenge. However, I always believe that unity is the most important thing.

“In January 1863, my grandfather once said, ‘If my name ever goes down in history, it’ll be for this action, and my whole soul is in it. And my soul is here.’

I will unite all of us, unite our people and country. I hope that everyone can join my ranks and unite to face our common enemy. Only by being united can we do great things and important things. However, there will always be some hostile forces that want to divide us. We should face these forces because they are real and even clichés.

“The process of advancing is always full of twists and turns. We need to fight, sacrifice, and defeat to reach the other side of victory. This requires us to unite and face the difficulties together to achieve victory.

Everyone here has mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. We will respect them by becoming the people and country we can and should be. When we face a challenge, it also means that we have to bear the responsibility.

“My fellow countrymen, please allow me to end my speech with a sacred oath. In front of the Moon Goddess and all of you, I promise to be with you forever. I will defend the law, democracy, and our race and serve you with all my might. I will not abuse my power but use it for the well-being of all people.

“Let’s work hard together and strive for unity instead of division, to walk toward the light instead of darkness. I hope that we can all be firm in our beliefs and devote ourselves to each other and the country we love with all our hearts. May the Moon Goddess bless us.

“Thank you, everyone!”

After Brandon’s speech, everyone gave a warm round of applause.

Brandon raised his hand and waved to the people present to express his gratitude.

I stood by the side and clapped for them excitedly. I was very happy to be able to witness this scene. I saw that Michael’s eyes were fixed on Brandon as well. From Michael’s eyes, I could tell that he was proud that his brother had successfully inherited the throne.

At that moment, I noticed the newly appointed King and Queen, Brandon and Courtney, looking in our direction.
