Myah.
[He-Man] When my father died,
I wanted to do what was best for Eternia,
so I crowned Keldor,

But I made a mistake.
I was wrong.
And not just about Keldor being the better king.
I was wrong for thinking that one person
could ever decide what's best for you,
the people of Eternos.
Granting power based on blood instead of choosing someone
to oversee the needs and dreams of the people strips Eternians
of their agency.
It led directly to the destruction of the Palace.
And maybe...
...well, maybe it was time.
[Eternians gasp]
Because as wrong as he was,
Keldor was right about one thing:
the power should belong to the people too.
There's a far greater power
than even the Power of Grayskull,
and that's the Power to govern yourselves.
And so as of today,
we decree a dissolution of Eternia's monarchy
and grant the power to all of you,
our fellow citizens of Eternia!
