The Devil’s Cage Chapter 60: Funeral
Curved crescents hang in the night sky, surrounded by stars.
A black guard of honor is quickly gathering.
Not only are people wearing black, but even the horses used are black. family emblem, which belongs to the Warren royal family, has become black and white at this time.
In a black dress, Mary with a funeral hat walked in the middle of the line, next to her was Kieran, and behind them were King James VIII coffins.
There is no corpse inside, just some clothes and item.
No cumbersome rituals and prayers.
After the team gathered, they walked towards the cemetery outside Riverdale.
The cemetery of the Warren royal family was always a place behind the Warren palace before Jame III, but as time passed, more royal family the dead made that small cemetery not enough, so in Jame IV The Warren royal family rebuilt a royal cemetery outside Riverdale.
Out of the palace gate, through the inner city, the team entered the outer city.
Many civilians appeared on the street.
They put on black clothes one by one and spontaneously saw off for King James VIII.
The king composed of Crown Raven and King James VIII'combination' is not a good king in the traditional sense.
However, it is definitely not bad.
He did not conquer tyranny, let alone kill innocents.
In contrast, tax reductions are almost possible every year.
Civilians don’t know more, but they remember that it is precisely because of such a tax reduction that they have survived several difficult winters.
For this, they are grateful to this majesty.
More and more civilians seeing off King James VIII on the street.
They prayed in a low voice.
Some sobbed.
This atmosphere infects the team that has done so solemnly.
The Mary, who has been enduring for so long, burst into tears.
Then...
Slow slowly.
The underage Princess did not cry out loud.
She has no such deep feelings for this father.
She also does not allow herself to do so.
‘When taking responsibility, remember to be strong! ’
Mother's teaching, she always remembered heart.
Even with Kieran as a dependency, the underage Princess will choose to work hard and stick to it first.
The Kieran walking by looked at the stubborn Mary with admiration in his eyes.
He appreciates strong people.
Just as if he were a strong person himself.
Perhaps precisely because of this, the two talents you first met will quickly become closer.
The team moves on.
After passing the outer city, came to the outside of Riverdale, and slowly approached the royal cemetery along the trail decorated with black cloth strips.
Two hundred heavily armed guards are guarding the royal cemetery. Even if it is called at a critical juncture, there will be enough manpower left here.
Tomb robbers are indispensable in any era.
Especially when facing such a clear target.
The Adal in black stood in front of the cemetery and waited quietly. When the team entered the cemetery, the old earl did not speak, and followed the old friend's coffin directly.
For the old count.
The existence in the coffin seems to be his old friend.
Kieran glanced at each other.
The other party, who hasn’t seen in a few days, looks older, and his back is already rickety, and his steps are staggering.
Obviously, the news that night was really an unbeatable blow for the old count.
But for this, Kieran is powerless.
It has happened, it is not him, nor has it been reversed by anyone’s will.
The tomb of King James VIII is behind the tomb of Jame VII. The tomb in front is Jame IV, V, and VI of Warren, and the founding king of Warren appears as a statue at the front of the tomb The other party in the moonlight is like a **** guarding future generations.
Whether it is alive.
Still...
Dead.
The final ceremony of the funeral started.
Provided by a knight, the King James VIII coffin began to enter the tomb slowly.
In addition to carrying the coffin, only the heir Mary can stand on one side, and the rest of the people gather to form a circle and stand facing out.
The place where Kieran stood was exactly where I could see the statue of that person Jame I, and he looked up at the statue.
Even after careful maintenance, the statue will inevitably leave traces of years.
However, even so, you can see the exquisiteness of the statue when it was completed, and it is really lifelike.
But a trace of doubt appeared in Kieran heart.
"You are wondering why there is no statue of Queen Jame II, Queen that person?"
The old earl standing beside Kieran suddenly opened his mouth.
"Uh."
Kieran has nothing to hide.
According to the information learned by Kieran, the reason why the Warren kingdom has its current territory is completely inseparable from the original that person queen.
The other party not only made Li Mian furious, but also opened up new territories to unify the three small kingdoms on the original land.
In short, this queen has a more outstanding record than Jame I.
According to the truth, the other party's gift should be respected by future generations.
This is not the case.
Not only here in the cemetery, but in other places it is also rare to record the Queen that person.
Kieran had guessed some.
But he is more inclined to listen to the opinions of Expert, and beside him the old count is undoubtedly one of the best Expert.
Seeing Kieran nodding, the old count suddenly smiled.
He said word by word: "I won't tell you!"
Kieran was taken aback.
And just as Kieran looked at each other in surprise, the old earl spoke again.
"The light of death."
"Throughout the world."
"This is what those guys want to know."
"I told you that my mission is considered complete."
"No need to thank, not to be grateful, I just finished the mission I should have done."
After that, the old earl turned and left.
Kieran turned around and watched the other party walk to the tomb of King James VIII.
The coffin of King James VIII has entered the tomb. The tomb is completely sealed from the inside. The guard of honour gathers again and worships the king from afar.
The old count walked to the tomb under the watch of everyone, and took out a bottle of wine and wine glass that had been prepared.
Boom!
The corks are flying high~IndoMTL.com~ The old count pours the liquor into two wine glass.
"Respect, freedom."
With a loud shout, the old earl drank out the wine in the glass.
"Respect, death."
Cry again, another glass of wine was scattered in front of the King James VIII’s tomb, and then the old earl figure stumbled against the tomb, both eyes looked at the night sky, his eyes dispersed, and there was no more sound.
He, completed mission.
He completed the request.
He...
Go to find his age.
There is a memory of him.
He was surrounded by a group of like-minded friends.
