Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Funeral
The majestic Lordaeron Cathedral, the atmosphere of this day is a little solemn, and countless people stand quietly in the church!
"We've lost a prince!"
"A child!"
"A friend!"
"A knight!"
"Lordaeron's Pride!"
"He was a symbol of hope and a leader of the Light!"
"He is a warrior who never gives up in the face of strong enemies!"
"It's also the strongest shield in the face of the storm!"
"Heroes never leave, heroes will always be in our hearts!"
"He is immortal, Arthas-Minehir!"
β¦β¦
Archbishop Benedictas read this eulogy in the church with affection, and the whole cathedral was silent!
King Terenus slumped in the chair at the front, looking like he was ten years older! This most powerful old man in the alliance, this recognized politician who is comfortable in the political arena of the seven countries, anyone who sees him now can only feel pity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Galia Minethiel, the young princess, tears were rolling in the corners of her eyes, Arthas and her relationship were not really good, they often quarreled, and sometimes she even thought that it would be better without this brother...... But when she really learned of her brother's death, she could only feel extremely sad.
Uther, Lightbringer, teacher of Arthas, an elderly paladin with tears on his face and no one paying any attention to his image, no one had ever seen the leader of the Silver Hand, the recognized strongest paladin, so sad!
Gavinrad - Doom, he cowered in the corner, his face full of chagrin, he blamed himself, he blamed himself for letting His Royal Highness the Prince be alone and encounter two followers of the Cursed Sect.
β¦β¦
The funeral was attended by many leaders from across the Alliance, representing Duke Berval-Photagen of Stormwind, Muradin Copperbeard representing Ironforge, and Archmage Crassus of Dalaran......
Although it was only a ceremony, the real body of His Highness Arthas has been buried in the Ridge of Remorse, the place where he died bravely!
Few people noticed that in the small corner of the cathedral, there were two figures.
Bridget Abydis's face was full of tears, but she didn't shed for the Prince of Arthas!
She asked softly, with tears in her voice, "Tell me, Father, I'm dreaming, Jon...... Jon, how could he possibly do such a thing......"
Bridget's return to Lordaeron healed soon after, and she had been looking forward to Jon's return, worrying if he had been injured in the war...... What she was waiting for was such a result, a result that she couldn't accept!
Father Lancaster said helplessly, "Bridget my child, this is not a dream, Jon, not Mills, he has betrayed us and joined the ranks of the cruel Cursed Sect!" β
"No, this can't be ......" The girl shook her head helplessly, "I've been with him for so long, how could he do such a thing!" β
The priest shook his head slightly, how could he not know about his most trusted student, if it weren't for Master Gavinrad's own questioning, if it weren't for the ironclad evidence, he wouldn't believe it......
The funeral was over, and the grieving crowd walked out of the cathedral one by one, except for the Duke of Berval-Fortagen of Stormwind, who stayed with King Terenus, and Jon Mills, the monarch killer who assassinated the Prince of Arthas, was from Stormwind after all, and he needed to bring King Varian's sincerest apologies......
β¦β¦
Bridget returned to Father Lancaster's prayer room, looking at what Jon had left behind, but it was no longer there.
There was a heavy footstep, and then a tall man walked into the prayer room.
Bridget looked back, and said in a trembling voice, "Father......"
General Alfred Abydis glanced at his daughter indifferently and said in a deep voice, "What about Lankester? β
"Father Priest, he ......"
"Alfred, my friend, why are you here!" Father Lancaster walked in, looking at his old friend with a tired expression.
"Lancaster, I'm disappointed in you!" Alfred said with a serious face, "I sent my daughter to you to receive the teachings of the Light, not to be with a traitor of the Cursed Sect!" β
"I'm sorry, my friend......" said Father Lancaster, who couldn't explain anything.
"Father, there must be a misunderstanding in this, Jon can't ......," Bridge begged, taking Alfred's hand.
A rough slap in the face of a young girl!
Bridget covered her flushed face, tears streaming down her eyes.
"The body of His Highness Arthas, Gavinrad's accusations, and the lives of Landaloc, everything points to that man, and you dare to argue for him!" General Alfred roared.
"I asked you to come to Lordaeron to learn the Way of the Light, not to make you fall in love with a follower of the Cursed Sect, a traitor to the Light!" Alfred grabbed his daughter's hand firmly.
"I'm sorry Lancaster, I had to take her away!" There was not a hint of apology in his voice.
"Follow me back to the Chapel of Light's Wishes, where you will become a true paladin and kill this traitor with your light when you see him in the future!" Dragging his daughter, Alfred walked out of the cathedral with an angry face.
Father Lancaster looked at the empty prayer room with a wry smile on his face!
β¦β¦
Tyrisfa Monastery.
"Miss CΓ©line, please come in, Your Majesty Fao!" A young priest respectfully led Natalie Selene into a small room and walked out to close the door again.
Looking at the old man on the bed, Natalie fell to her knees: "Teacher, I'm sorry! β
"Natalie......" Archbishop Alonsos Fao's voice was haggard: "I heard about him, did you do it?" β
This embodiment of the Light, leader of the priests, mentor of all paladins, his life has come to an end.
"Yes!" Natalie nodded, crying and said, "He is Alice's child, the only trace of Alice left in this world, no matter what he does, I can't watch him be sent to the gallows!" β
"Alas, Natalie, your personality hasn't changed at all over the years!" Fao shook his head helplessly.
There was a soft knock on the door, and a paladin in silver armor walked in, and judging by his dress, he must not be inferior to the Silver Hand.
"Your Majesty!" He first bowed to the archbishop reverently, and then said, "On the orders of King Terenus, he wants Miss Seren to return to Lordaeron and provide some information about Mills, the Kingkiller......"
Fao pondered for a moment, and his voice became majestic: "Please tell Your Majesty, I hope that my youngest disciple can give me a funeral!" β
The paladin nodded: "Yes, I will return your meaning to His Majesty the King, sorry Archbishop, for the interruption!" β
With that, he walked out of the monastery!
Natalie's cry could be faintly heard in the monastery.
