"Arthur Ludwig, for your extraordinary bravery and contributions to the empire, I bestow upon you the Abyssal Fang."

The moment those words left Regulus's mouth, a wave of murmurs spread through the crowd. Nobles exchanged glances, their expressions ranging from shock to disbelief.

"The Abyssal Fang? That demonic sword?"

"How can His Majesty allow such a dangerous weapon to remain in the hands of a mere student?"

Despite their whispered concerns, no one dared to question the emperor's decision outright. His authority was absolute, and challenging it would be foolish.

Arthur, standing before the emperor, remained calm. He had expected such a reaction. He simply bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will make good use of it."

The emperor gave a satisfied nod before dismissing him. Arthur turned and walked back to his friends, ignoring the stares from various nobles.
