Chapter 80: The Funeral
Julian is dead.
The maid who had come to clean the room early in the morning let out a long, piercing, panicked scream that would split Raging Wave City in half as she pushed open the door.
The house was in shambles, glass shattered, and the black curtains on the windows were torn to shreds....... Almost all of the furniture had lost its function, and Julian's body lay in the ruins.
Julian's body manifests all the superficial features of death. His complexion was usually marble-pale, his lips were pursed and pursed, his pupils had lost their luster, his pulse had stopped beating, and his body had lost its body temperature and had become completely stiff. He was killed by the dried blood on the chest of his clothes, a long sword pierced through his heart, and the weapon that had killed him fell at Julian's feet, with Yurian's blood still on the tip of the sword.
Duke McCarvey crouched tremblingly beside his son's corpse, his teeth chattering, unable to utter a word. Although he dislikes and alienates Julian, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a trace of love for Julian, he just wants to choose another heir out of fear of that man and for the future of the McCarvey family. It was a long time before Duke McCarvey finally snorted like a father, "My child. ”
The Duchess of McCarvey, who rushed to hear the voice, was so sad that she almost fainted at the sight of Julian's body, and she threw herself on Julian and wept sadly.
"Whoever it is, I'm going to make him pay. Duke McCarvey gritted his teeth.
The Duchess of McCarvey looked at her husband with angry eyes, and said angrily, "Don't you understand? Julian died because of your harsh rebuke, and he ended his own life. You've never acknowledged him!"
The dejected Barr was summoned by Duke McCarvey, who was a close vassal of Julian and should have known everything, and when Barr walked in front of him, Duke McCarvey smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and it is unknown how much alcohol Barr had poured these days.
"That night, Julian summoned you. ”
"Yes. Baal's eyes were glazed, and all hope had been lost, and the lord for whom he had died was dead, and with it the great city he had promised was gone.
"What did he say to you?"
“...... He asked me to gather the army. ”
Hearing Barr's words, Duke McCarvey was silent, Julian wanted to force the palace, trigger a military coup, and forcibly take power from his own hands, but Julian was dead, what could he blame?
After a while, Duke McCarvey asked again, "And then?"
"When I had gathered all my troops, I told him to disband, and he told me to disband all the knights, and let everyone go back to sleep, and lock them in their rooms alone. ”
Barr's words moved Duke McCarvey with a wave of soreness in his heart, and he understood that Julian was not cowardly, because he was so arrogant and conceited, and in the end, he was afraid that he chose self-destruction because he could not lift the butcher's knife to his father but was caught in a dilemma.
"O my stupid son. Duke McCarvey wept in mourning. The wife was right, she forced Julian to death.
The news of Julian's death soon spread like carrier doves throughout the South, and the heir of the dissolute skeleton, the maelstrom of riots, died.
Andre McCarvey wept tears of grief when he heard of this, Julian was his nephew after all, a member of the McCarvey family, although Julian was violent and unpleasant, but Julian was raised by him after all, and he really couldn't think of any reason to comfort his grieving brother, because after Yurian's death, he became the first in line of succession. André's supporters, as well as Julian's opponents, were overjoyed, and if it weren't for the sad lion of Duke McCarvey, they probably couldn't wait to hold a banquet in Raging Waves, although the banquet could not be held, but they still chose to secretly take out their wine glasses and raise a glass to celebrate.
Berry and Mogg, Count of Slonia, the chief supporter of Julian, although he was saddened by Julian's death, but at the same time secretly relieved that his fate and the future of the entire Mogg family no longer had to be tied to such a bohemian nephew.
In the castle of Karazan Antu, immersed in all the atmosphere of sorrow, it seems that dark clouds are shrouded, thick and gloomy.
Rosalind shed her last tears, and she lifted her resolute face, "I'm going back to Raging Waves City to have a solemn, solemn funeral for Julian. ”
In the rickety carriage, Charlotte realized that the green hills, green grasses and streams in the distance had turned white, and there was nothing to look forward to in this world, "Young Master, why? Why did you leave Charlotte behind." Charlotte's delicate cheeks had become haggard, her long golden hair had turned yellow like autumn grass, and her heart had been torn apart, "This world has nothing to look forward to for me, please let my tears wet the flowers in front of the tombstone for you, and then go to heaven with you..... Or hell. ”
In what way was Julian buried? An heir who died before he succeeded to the throne or the status of a duke? Although the latter did not conform to etiquette, Mariana fought for her son's sake, and he wanted her son's funeral to be grander, but the nobles were old-fashioned, conformist, and resolutely opposed.
The Duchess let out a piercing scream, and she roared loudly to the courtiers, "If you are not willing to pity the grief of a mother, then all of you present will share with me the loss of a child." "The grieving mother has lost all her mind, she threatens nakedly.
Unable to bear to see his sister's increasingly haggard cheeks, Bérilang stood up and said, "If you insist on being an enemy of the Mogg family, then I swear that my sister's words and deeds are not false and will be fulfilled. ”
"If you don't believe in a woman's temperament, then you can give it a try. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hundred times the return. "Rosalind arrived late in a black funeral veil.
"Father, I beg you. Charlotte grabbed the arm of a slightly chubby middle-aged man, this man was Douglas Heslett, Earl of Mecklenburg, Charlotte's father, Charlotte's full name was Charlotte Heslett, the daughter of the Earl of Mecklenburg.
"I'm in favor. "I can't hold back my daughter's tears of grief," Douglas said.
"Julian is dead, fame and fortune mean nothing to him, why do you want this miser?" Andrei said.
Duke McCarvey, who had been silent for a long time, opened his tired eyes and glanced at the courtiers below, "This is my son. ”
