As the two bodies were hung on the gallows, as if the dust had settled, the Château de Mason was lifted and restored to its former peace, the Duke of Abel had many things to be busy with, and the remains of the old duke needed to be properly placed, and five skilled craftsmen from the Masons' Guild built a sarcophagus overnight, placed the old duke's body inside, and then covered it with a stone lid, but this was not finally completed, because the stonemasons and craftsmen would spend several months in the family cemetery to place the sarcophagus parked in the mausoleum, The stone lid on it is gradually carved into the shape of the old duke lying flat and holding a sharp sword in both hands, and these skilled craftsmen can sculpt the old duke's face in front of him vividly, so that future generations can admire the duke's voice and face.

"Sometimes, at night, I felt that he was still alive, and as usual he met his courtiers in his bedroom, making all sorts of important decisions." Princess Josie was dressed in a solemn dress, a black turban, and tears in her eyes, as noble and beautiful as a sad black swan, and Arold stood by her side to comfort her sorrow.

"There is always a man who dies, or is despised like a feather, or admired by all like a tall mountain, and the old duke is undoubtedly the latter." Arold changed the famous aphorism of the Celestial Empire to comfort Princess Josie, and sure enough, the aphorism that can be passed down for centuries always has its own charm, after listening to Arold's words, Princess Josie was stunned, and then looked at Arold gratefully, and leaned her head on Arold's chest, and the nobles who attended the funeral together were not surprised. Because Arold is about to become Princess Josie's husband.

"In the name of the Lord, please welcome this great Christian to your temple ~~~~." The bishop of the diocese, dressed in his own robe, held a cross to preside over the funeral of the old duke, and recited the words of blessing in his mouth, and the other twelve priests echoed in unison, in this era the Catholic rites had not yet developed to the point of cumbersomeness, so when the bishop finished reciting, he stood aside and asked the relatives and friends of the old duke to offer garlands and other items as mourning, and the Duke of Able, as heir, was of course the first to step forward, and he bent down and placed a wreath on the sarcophagus lid. Then Princess Josie stepped forward to place the wreath. Arold was lined up behind a close relative of the Herman family, and soon the sarcophagus was masked by the scent of flowers.

"The white dove stopped waving its wings, the beautiful flowers closed their petals, and the angels sang in the sky. The soul of a noble person who has passed away has left the world. Listen, the drumbeat of the doomsday is faintly sounding. We will meet again ~~~~~. A young nun with a sweet voice sang an elegy from the stone pavilion, and her voice echoed through the silent cemetery. It was as if all the qiē had calmed down, and the song conveyed everyone's sorrow.

"Squeak~~." The door to the mausoleum pavilion was closed, and only the stonemasons who carved it for the old duke, and the duke's family at certain times of the year, would open the door to admire the old duke's fading countenance.

"Thanks to your reminder this time, after the palace guards confiscated the property of the sinner Jeff, his personal property alone is enough to pay for my inheritance ceremony, and none of the merchants in the merchants' guild dare to raise objections or reluctance." After leaving Duke Mason's family cemetery, Duke Abel walked up to Arjord's side and said gratefully to Arjord.

"Brother, can't you just wait a little longer and talk about this matter?" Princess Josie frowned, and said to her brother unhappily that she felt a little unacceptable to start talking about the inheritance ceremony just after leaving her father's grave.

"I'm sorry my sister, you know that I have too many things on hand, by the way, you should also go and prepare a bridal dress for yourself, now that my father is no longer your guardian, I will personally take your hand and bring you to our esteemed palace minister." Duke Abel shrugged his shoulders and said to his sister, Princess Josie, that the people of Europa are not in the habit of keeping filial piety, and in their opinion, if they bury their relatives, then they will already be in the hands of God, and the living will continue their lives.

"Do you still need to say that? I was ready for it. Princess Josie's face was slightly red, and she looked at the tall Arold beside her with some shyness, and it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about these things in front of the groom, so she immediately made an excuse and left.

"You deliberately her off." Arold looked at the smiling Duke Abel with a smile, this brother and sister have a very good relationship, thinking that after the death of the old duke, only they are left to depend on each other.

"Josie is a simple maiden, as pure and beautiful as a lily in a deep valley, and you and my friend, I believe that you will be able to protect her, take care of her, and love her." Duke Abel looked at Arrod and said to him.

"Of course, I will not live up to Princess Josie's love for me." Arold hurriedly swore to Duke Abel.

"I believe, O God, that I thank him for bringing me a true friend and sister-in-law, and I believe that together we will be able to make the Duchy of Mason a true power." Duke Able's face flushed with excitement, and his chest rose and fell in clenched fists, as if he was ready to make a big move.

"Lord Duke, what are you going to do with Count Lauzitz?" Arold was not as optimistic as he was, and the power of the Count of Lauzitz in the principality was only temporarily hidden, and he did not believe that the Count of Lauzitz had died down like this.

"What's your idea?" Duke Abel asked.

"Putting him under house arrest must not allow him to return to his domain, and his knights and retainers must also be closely monitored." Arold said coldly to Duke Abel that when the little retinue Rudolph was innocently hanged, Arold's heart also became cold, and he would never forgive Count Lauzitz, who had killed many innocent people.

"Well, after the completion of my succession ceremony and vassal allegiance ceremony, I will place him in the attic of the tower, where he will not be able to contact anyone for the rest of his life." Duke Abel looked slightly stunned, but still agreed with Arrod's proposal, although in his opinion Count Rauzitz was not at all in danger. (To be continued......)
