According to the custom of the city of Faro, the funeral ceremony includes six procedures, such as washing the body, changing clothes, mortuary plastic surgery, funeral crying, feasting, and memorial.

By the time Donald met his father, he was peacefully lying in a velvet-filled mahogany coffin, the frost magic locking the temperature inside the coffin and keeping the deceased in a decent state, he was covered in all kinds of jewels, and he was surrounded by seasonal flowers that reflected his pale and bloodless skin.

The priest opened a scripture and bowed his head and whispered: "Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is with great sorrow that we come together to bid farewell to our most revered father, our dear friend, our most patient mentor, our lord of Faro, Anglo Salon-Louis, the navigator of the Louis family, whose life can be summed up in a simple sentence: he brought Port Faroe to the Gold Coast Alliance, and single-handedly created the ...... of prosperity and prosperity of Port Faro"

The priest prayed in front of the coffin, most of the relatives folded their hands and closed their eyes, some wept silently, some wept, and some remained silent.

Charles was one of the few people who did not pray, and Louis XIII was not related to him, so there was no need to be overly emotionally involved, as long as it did not violate the taboo of the funeral, it was enough to maintain order, and with a mask, he could look at other people at will.

Soon, he noticed a sharp gaze from the opposite side, and when he met it, Charlie saw a pair of dark eyes, the man was wearing a pulp white shirt and a pure black dress, and a white veil pinned to his right arm, and between the eyebrows, he and Donald had similar features, except that the corners of the eyebrows and the contours of the face were more stiff, and the face had a fierce face.

Combined with his clothes and appearance, Charlie probably guessed the identity of this person, he should be one of the two brothers mentioned by Donald, I don't know if it was Nicholas or Bill, looking at his eyes, he was clearly staring at himself, guessing the internal reason, he was probably the mastermind of the two assassinations against Donald, obviously, he attributed the failure to the mysterious factor of Charlie, and then began to hate Charlie.

Feeling Charlie's gaze, he squeezed out a meaningful sneer and slowly lowered his head.

"Almighty God Father, you are the source of life, you have saved us through My Son Kirill, look to Anglo and receive him in eternal light. Since he believes that your Son died and rose again, may he share the glory with your Son when He is resurrected. I ask this for the sake of Mass of our Lord, the Son of God, and your Holy Spirit, eternal and eternal King. Allah!"

As the prayer ended, people opened their eyes, the priest held the scriptures in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a ray of holy light fell on Anglo, and in an instant, Anglo's skin was flushed with a hint of ruddy, and the corpse spots gradually faded, like a sleeping old man, and you could even feel Anglo's smile.

Several tall priests stepped forward, lifted the lid of the coffin, and slowly closed it, and with a few muffled sounds, the coffin closed, freezing the best side of Anglo in the hearts of the people.

At that moment, an atmosphere of mourning spread, and the sound of suppressed weeping was incessant, according to the custom of Faro, no matter how sad it was, it was impossible to howl and cry, because the crying would disturb the peace of the soul of the deceased, and of course, there was nothing wrong with crying uncontrollably.

The priest threw white petals into the sky like rain, and the young priestess sang softly in the air.

Anna leaned on Charlie's shoulder, hugged one of his arms with both hands, and couldn't cry, she was really sad, she didn't care about makeup, she didn't care about the reserved and decent of a lady, she cried a mess, at that moment, there was only a simple emotion, she was a daughter, and the deceased was a father.

Donald rubbed his eyes and sighed: "I remember the day my father took over as the head of the family, that family banquet, at that time, Anna was still an infant, my mothers, my brothers and sisters were not so complicated, let alone so many desires and demands, everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts for my father to take over this important position, it was the most cohesive and harmonious dinner in our small family, and that moment seemed like yesterday."

Time flies, and today my father is lying in a coffin, and I am alone, surrounded by hostility, I don't even know the exact source of these hostilities, those who hide in the darkness are always ready to kill me, life is a tragedy. ”

How similar this situation is to Charlie!

Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said, "You still have Anna." ”

Donald smiled back, "Yes, I have a younger sister. ”

Harvey said in a low voice: "Donald, I suggest that you go back to the farm directly after attending the dinner, although it may be a bit rude, but that is the safest test, it is best not to even eat the dinner, anyway, you have already attended the funeral of the head of the family, and you have done the most basic etiquette." ”

Donald shook his head, "If that happens, what's the point of my struggles? It's basically announced that I'm out early, as Miha said, after the new patriarch gets the tea recipe, they will open a new farm, and all the resources invested in the hilltop farm will be reclaimed, and all the past efforts will be in vain." ”

Yes, it's an unsolvable situation, you lose your life if you want to save your life, and you risk your life if you want to join Game of Thrones.

Charlie said in a deep voice: "Donald, you don't need to look ahead, there is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world, there is a price to pay for fighting for anything, this is very fair, the difference is whether you can get what you want after paying the price, this is the difference between the wise and the fool." ”

Hearing this, Donald's eyes lit up, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Charlie continued: "If I were your two older brothers, I would have done it tonight because this is my only chance, so tonight could be the most dangerous night for you, you have to hide and only wait for them to lose both sides before you have a chance."

Of course, if the two of them are smart enough, they will definitely join forces to kill you first, and then fight you to the death, it should be a silent tacit understanding, whoever catches the opportunity to kill you will attack, and may even dispatch killers at the same time, it is not ruled out that the killers may cooperate with each other. ”

Harvey was surprised: "Nicholas and Bill teamed up?!That's unlikely, right? The two of them never interacted much!"

"The team-up between the killers is not really a team-up. ”

Donald said in a deep voice, "It's very likely, it's very much in line with the temper of my two older brothers. ”

As night approached, perhaps his opponent had already understood Donald's thoughts, Nicholas's butler came to Donald's courtyard twice to remind him to attend tonight's banquet of thanksgiving to the guests, a banquet not to be missed, with very important guests.

Anna asked faintly, "Do you want to go?"

"Go, why not? They won't do it at the thank-you feast!"

Charlie interjected, "Of course not, but after the thank-you banquet, you basically don't have time to hide anywhere." ”

Donald smiled bitterly: "Even if you start hiding now, where can you hide? The servants in the mansion have all been mobilized, there are people everywhere, there are eyes everywhere, my small courtyard can't hide at all, because that must be the place they focus on checking." ”

It's really a good calculation, since Donald returned to the family, he has basically lost the initiative, and things will not go your way, and Charlie can't do anything about it.

Charlie sighed, "Go ahead, take a step and look at it." ”

As the eldest son of Louis XIII, Nicolas became half the host of the banquet, standing at the door of the banquet hall, wearing a tuxedo, he seemed to be the center of attention.

"Lady Tria, you are beautiful tonight, and to-day's dinner is enhanced by you!" said Nicholas, bowing to an old woman.

"Oh, thank you, Nicholas, for your ability to speak. Madame Tria hugged Nicholas, "Seeing you is like seeing your father when he was young, mourn, my little Nicholas, the future Louis family needs a brave and strong man to stand up." ”

Nicholas smiled, "Thank you, Lady Tria, I see. ”

"Sir Connor, long time no see, remember the last time we fished together in Fontaine? those three days were the most memorable memories of my life. ”

This season is the off-season in Fontaine, and it is the best time for a few old friends to enjoy nature together. ”

"Yes, definitely. ”

Then, Donald and his party walked up the steps of the banquet hall, and the air in the courtyard was inexplicably stagnant, and many guests who did not know why raised their heads and looked around, looking for the reason for the drastic change in the atmosphere.

"Oh, my third brother, I'm so glad to see you here, and you're dressed very decently today. ”

"Nicholas, I'm also glad to see you, and tonight you're as dazzling as a master. ”

Nicholas laughed, turned his head to look at Charlie, and suddenly said seriously: "Sir, it is very rude to wear a mask at the funeral appreciation banquet, can you take it off? Otherwise, I have to ask you to leave!"

Charlie replied: "When I was a child, my face was injured, and if I took off my mask, I was afraid that it would scare the guests. ”

Nicholas beckoned to the side of the stairs and said, "Then go back to your room and rest, and I will arrange for someone to bring you a sumptuous dinner." ”

Donald stepped forward, with an angry face, and rebuked: "Nicholas, he is my guest, if you insist on driving him away, then we will all retreat!"

Nicholas looked at Charlie deeply, smiled mysteriously, and said, "I gave you advice, if you don't listen, you will regret it." ”

At this moment, the high-pitched and excited voice of the master of ceremonies sounded outside, "Welcome to the Vice President of the Royal Society of Magic, the Grand Magister, Sir Rubick." ”

A layer of surprise appeared on Nicholas's face, and he directly threw Donald and his party aside, strode up to meet them, and said loudly: "Teacher, welcome to Faro City, you should let our convoy welcome you!"

It's a suffocating name, and Donald's face sinks, meaning there's little chance of a comeback.
