At this time, the cronies sent by Karov were still on the way to ask the archbishop, and it would take a day and a night for the archbishop closest to the viscountydom to arrive.
Crimson Sword was overwhelmed with grief as he hugged his beloved wife's increasingly cold corpse, and that day the whole north was plunged into endless grief, and the nearby nobles soon learned of the tragedy of the Breton family and sent people to mourn, and the temple sent a cardinal with the famous White Wings choir to personally hold a grand funeral for Elulia.
Normally only royalty and bishops are eligible for a funeral of this magnitude, but according to the Temple, in order to reward Lady Elulia for her outstanding work in spreading welfare and teaching, the Church has made an exception and decided to raise the size of her funeral.
It was a funeral that the whole of the North had never seen before, and yet the person in the world who should have attended the funeral was never seen from beginning to end.
It was rumored that the Viscount was too grief-stricken to say a final goodbye to his deceased wife, but only Karov himself knew that the reason he did not attend the funeral was because he was afraid that he would draw his sword in front of his wife's coffin.
The absurd claim of being infected with wind and cold was not believed by Crimson Sword from beginning to end. And he knew very well that the windows were closed that night, for he had been alone in Elulia's maternity room in the middle of the night, and looking at the pale and beautiful cheeks of the woman on the sickbed, the Viscount remembered the scene when they first met, and thought that he had not seen such a carefree smile on her face for a long time.
After returning to the north, Karov soon took over the banner of the Breton family from his father, bid farewell to his free and easy school career, and his life suddenly became busy, in addition to suddenly having a large number of territories to manage, he also had to regularly attend hypocritical and boring gatherings among the nobles, maintain relations with various forces, solve nearby bandits, and assess tax rates...... The Viscount spent less and less time with his wife, for which Karov was always apologetic.
Well, maybe he should ask some uncle or uncle to manage the territory on his behalf, and when Elulia's health improves, the three of them can go to the south to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and a pleasant climate to spend half a year off, and by the way, they can also help Elulia recuperate.
The Viscount's heart rose with such a thought, and he sat quietly with the sleeping woman until the early morning, when the sun rose over the horizon, and Eluria's breathing gradually calmed down, and Karov went back to his room to take a nap, but when he returned, the Viscountess was suddenly declared by the doctor to be infected with a "wind chill".
Karoff's first reaction when he heard the news was not to believe it, but judging from the symptoms alone, Elulia did act like she was suffering from a cold, and the doctor also prescribed a prescription according to the wind and cold, but the viscountess's condition showed no signs of improvement after taking the medicine, so the viscount found a powerful priest in the territory, and the other party cast two fifth-order magic skills in a row, but unfortunately it had little effect.
At this time, the viscount already had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly sent his henchmen to invite the nearest archbishop, who has the great recovery technique known as the strongest healing magic technique, no matter how seriously you are injured, as long as you still have a breath, you can be saved by this magic technique.
Karov had seen the throat of an earl's youngest son slit and when he was sent to the temple, when an archbishop intervened and performed a great recovery spell on him, and the next moment, the child was alive again.
Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to ask for help from a big man of the level of the archbishop, but with the prestige and power of the Bretton family in the north, at least the archbishop of the north is very willing to make a move, no matter who wants to preach, they must rely on secular power, and the nobility is undoubtedly the most direct representative of secular power.
However, no one expected that the deterioration of Elulia's condition would be so fast, and in just half a day, before the archbishop arrived, the viscountess had already died.
But this kind of thing, while surprising, is far from bizarre.
In fact, there are many people who die every year from a variety of strange causes, including nobles, such as a duke who accidentally stepped on a pitchfork while walking in his garden, and was unfortunately pierced in the neck and died on the spot, and a baron who died because he always wore ill-fitting boots that caused the soles of his feet to fester.
In contrast, death due to a cold infection was all too common, and the Viscountess didn't see any problems other than a slightly faster process, not to mention that the maid who served Elulia that night later admitted that she had forgotten to close the window.
While expressing regret, people are more lamenting the misfortune of the viscountess, who obviously has such a happy family, but unfortunately died not long after becoming a mother.
Only Karov didn't believe this statement at all, the viscount found the wrong maid at the first time, but when he arrived there, he found that the other party had hanged himself in his room, and at the same time she also left a suicide note on the table, pouring out her guilt and remorse between the lines, and finally hoping to exchange death for the viscount's forgiveness and forgiveness.
Karov flipped through the suicide note in his hand and read it I don't know how many times, the viscount had never done one thing so patiently in his life, from early morning to sunset, he read every word in this suicide note thousands of times, every sentence in the suicide note was no problem whether it was opened or closed, the tone and attitude were very sincere, even the most demanding people could not find fault with it.
But because of this, Karov's heart sank completely.
This suicide note is definitely not written by a desperate person who has done something wrong, and ordinary people will not have such clear logic and such accurate expression ability in extreme circumstances.
Yes, the biggest problem with this suicide note is that it is too perfect.
Sometimes, the absence of a flaw is the biggest flaw in itself.
No matter who wrote this suicide note, that guy must have been very confident in his own planning, and Crimson Sword even had a faint premonition in his heart, maybe even the perfect flaws in this letter were deliberately left by the other party for him to discover, intended to warn and ridicule him, even if he could detect anything from it, it would not change any facts.
