Chapter 63: Overlooked Details
Standing on the top of the tallest tower of the Temple of Wine, Vanessa couldn't help but regain the feeling of being on the watchtower of Neverwinter, it was at the same height that she was pushed into the void by her own sister, falling, falling, cold and confused, familiar and confused. Death is easy, but it is not so easy to accept in the hands of loved ones. That incident made climbing high and looking far away a kind of torture for Vanessa, just like the lights of ten thousand homes in front of her, in the eyes of the princess, were simply countless resentful spirits at the feet of the god of death, clear and extinguished, endless.
The Temple of Bacchus was built next to the Meadow River, and the rushing water of the river carried away the filth of the royal palace and Victor, who was holding a sad doll. At least I saved Reina, Vanessa comforted herself.
The princess has been under house arrest by Creon on on the Wyvern Tower for three days. She had only seen the maid who delivered the food for three days, and when she asked her for news, the poor maid turned away in fright, as if Vanessa were a web of bad luck and would be unlucky if she touched it.
Looking at the windmills on the other side of the Meadow River, and the shea candlelight shining through the leaded glass of the sanctuary, Vanessa thought to herself, I wonder what happened to Brant, he must have been grieving the loss of his mother, and I wasn't sure if I should tell him the truth about it. Queen Onia's death was caused by me, and if I tell the truth, I am afraid that he will hate me forever.
At this moment, the bells rang in the bell tower opposite, long and long, heavy and slow, followed by the lower Bishop's Cathedral, the Mariner's Chapel and the Seven Stars Chapel. The bells rang out from the palace to the city, and at last the chapels on both sides of the Meadow River rang with high-pitched bells, and the scattered single notes formed a wonderful whirlpool that swept people into endless sorrow.
Queen Onia's funeral began.
Vanessa closed her eyes, knowing that her sins were unforgivable. She turned her head away from the long queue at the gate of the palace, the person who grieved the most in the funeral procession would hate him forever, but how could he know that he was also experiencing the pain of losing his mother at this moment.
Also known as "Her Majesty the Queen", did Queen Chloe ever have such a dignified funeral? Are her daughters weeping sadly at her side? Will her subjects lament her death?
Vanessa could not imagine the death of her mother as described by Creon, and she covered her ears to prevent her mother's screams from entering her mind. One drop, two drops, something cold fell from the sky, and it rained. She should have wept, but the heavens were already weeping for her, so the princess went back to her tower to take shelter from the rain, and sat silently in the dark.
The Delin family is withered, and there is no one left: my father fell to his death a year ago, and my aunt married in the land of ice marshes; Solanda and Koeman turned against each other, and with her character, she would most likely come back for revenge, but it was only a matter of time before she died at the hands of Koman; Illya's life and death are uncertain, but I hope that Poligowen will keep her promise and hide her well; Now, although I am nominally the heir of the Land of Midsummer, the real power is in the hands of Koman, and once I appear in Neverwinter, I will be killed by Koman if I can't walk half a mile, and the heavy responsibility of the Delin family is all on my shoulders, which is really difficult.
Thinking of this, Vanessa discovers a problem that has been ignored by herself all along—Corman turns against Solanda, murders Queen Chloe, and wants her sister Elia, but she never makes a move on herself!
Vanessa recalls her journey with Reina, although the journey was thrilling, she rarely encountered checkpoints, and even left the country of midsummer to board a boat to cross the sea so smoothly. Why did Coman deliberately let me go? Could it be that he was shocked by his own intimidation? As the acting lord of Neverwinter and the royal advisor of Solanda, General Koeman is not such an easily intimidated man.
Vanessa struggled to piece the pieces together, but couldn't tell the cause from the consequences, so she gave up and lay down in the dark to soothe her nerves, exhausted by the pain.
After learning the princess's identity, Creon immediately sent her to the uninhabited Wyvern Tower to block the news. In taking away Vanessa's freedom, he also took away her splendid dress, and the princess was sent to sleep on a straw mat in only a petticoat, and fed on oatcakes and a small urn of water every day
