There is a magnificent hall inside the Perkinm Palace.

There are a total of twenty-five pillars on the palace.

Without exception, they are all metallic, or gold, or silver......

When Li Aili and the emperor and queen arrived at the main hall, there was a bronze pillar broken into several pieces lying on the ground.

Li Aili was standing behind the emperor, and she saw that the emperor's figure was trembling slightly.

"Go to ......" the emperor's voice was a little hoarse.

"Did you go inform Cezel's family?"

Catherine said, "Someone has been sent to report the funeral." ”

The Empress took a deep breath, "Pick up the princess of Cizer and the children to the Perkinlin Palace......"

The emperor walked to the collapsed and broken Zhenguo Pillar, and squatted down slowly.

A crystal teardrop dropped on the shattered bronze ancient pillar.

"Albert," her voice choked, "write to your sister Anneana, and ask her to return from the Holy Monastery of Light to attend her uncle's funeral." ”

Albert's voice couldn't have been softer, "Yes, Mother." ”

He patted Arthur lightly on the shoulder, then turned to leave.

He is the eldest son, the crowned prince who is now in prison, the prince died in battle, and countless things are waiting for him to deal with.

Li Ailie withdrew her gaze from behind the distant prince.

Arthur walked over to his mother's side and knelt on one knee, raising his hand and gently running it against the queen's back.

The emotional collapse was only in a split second.

The emperor hugged her youngest son, and her cry echoed in the main hall, "I don't want you to go to the battlefield, I don't want to ......"

Arthur just pursed his lips, and a tear slipped down.

He clumsily patted his mother on the back.

Ren's mother's tears wet the blood-red ribbon that symbolized her noble status.

"I'm here, Mother, and I'll always be by your side, safe and well."

Li Aili looked at Arthur in a daze.

Albert shouldered everything, so he lost the right to grieve the death of a loved one, the right to accompany his mother, and even the loss of tears.

18-year-old Arthur had all of this because someone was in his way.

Li Ellie's eyes were a little red.

If, she first met Arthur now, maybe there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings between them.

However, there is no if.

When they first met, he was invincible.

……

When Prince Cizer's wife and only son arrived at the Perkinlin Palace, it was raining lightly in the main city of the Holy Dragon.

The castle was shrouded in a dark cloud that could not be dispersed.

All changed into heavy black dresses.

Li Elli stood in front of the bedroom window, watching the black carriages stop downstairs.

Distinguished guests, dressed in black mourning clothes, came to attend the Prince's funeral.

Knock, knock, knock on the door.

"Please come in, Conrad."

Li Aili lowered her eyes and looked out the window, but she was thinking in her heart, the blank Holy Dragon Era on the epic.

Conrad walked in, "Miss Ellie Lee, the equipment you customized is ready. ”

"As you have told, I have placed it in a newly built wooden house in the forest behind the castle."

Li Aili thanked, "Okay, thank you Conrad. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the window.

Li Elli looked downstairs.

Two teams of knights, escorting a pure white carriage, stopped on the green lawn of the vestibule under the window.

The Church of Light has been in love with white for thousands of years.

The carriage door opened, and a young girl dressed in pure white monastic clothes stepped out of the carriage.

She is tall, with long black hair, a delicate appearance, a graceful figure, and every step she moves reveals the good upbringing of the aristocracy.

"This is Princess Anneana, Her Royal Highness Albert and His Royal Highness Arthur's sister."

Conrad on one side introduced Li Elli.

Lee Elli remembers Aniyana's looks.

As soon as I saw it, I realized that this was the mysterious lady who appeared at the canonization ceremony.

It's just that I didn't expect that she would be Arthur's sister.

Anyana hurried into the castle.

"The body of His Royal Highness Cizer will be escorted back to China this evening."

"Tomorrow's funeral."

Conrad mechanically said about the process.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lee took a closer look at Conrad.

The old butler's eyes were red.

Only then did it occur to Li Aili that the sacrificial Prince Cizer might have been raised by this old housekeeper.

Li Ailie opened her mouth, and until finally Conrad left, she couldn't come up with any words that would make the gray-haired butler feel better.

In the evening, Catherine came to the door of Ellie's room and knocked softly.

Lee opened the door and saw Arthur dressed in black at the door.

"Can you accompany me to the Dragon Tower to pick up Uncle Cezel?" Arthur asked.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

Li Ali whispered, "Okay, I'll go get a hat." ”

At noon, Catherine brought her black skirt and hat.

Li Aili changed into a long black dress representing mourning at that time.

Back in the house, she took the veiled black hat off the coat rack.

Put on your hat in front of the mirror and adjust the black mesh veil.

After leaving the room, she said to Arthur, "Arthur, let's go." ”

Arthur held out his hand gentlemanly.

Ellie covered her hand as she did a thousand years later, when they were together.

Arthur gripped her hand slowly, tightly.

The two didn't say anything all the way, and walked hand in hand to the Dragon Tower.

……

When they reached the top of the Dragon Tower, there were already many people standing here in silence.

Albert looked back at them and beckoned to them.

Ellie Lee and Arthur stood by Albert's side.

Albert tilted his head slightly, "After that, you talk about Aniana." ”

"This kind of occasion is somewhat out of place."

The emperor and queen with a black veil standing at the front of the crowd.

One step behind the Empress stood on the left-hand side of Princess Anneana, dressed in a white monastic robe.

The white monastic robe was beautiful.

The gold embroidery on the corners is a craft that only the sun and moon spirits have.

Arthur looked at Aniana's white monastic robe and nodded with a sinking look in his eyes.

What made Li Aili a little concerned was a pair of mother and son standing on the other side of the emperor and queen.

My mother had been crying silently, wiping the corners of her eyes from time to time.

Her son hugged his mother's waist and tried to use his thin body to support his mother.

The rain has stopped.

But the night sky was still overcast, and there was not half a star in sight.

The Empire's Zhenguo Pillar collapsed, and it seemed that the dragon gods wept for the departed heroic spirits.

At night, a team of dragon knights escorted the coffin to the Dragon Tower.

Several dragons landed on top of the dragon tower one after another.

Prince Alex and Prince William carried the coffin down.

The pitch-black coffin was covered with a blue holy dragon flag.

The emperor walked up to them and was about to speak.

I saw that Prince Cizer's only son jumped over like a small cannonball.

Like a vicious wolf cub, he bit the back of Alex's hand fiercely.

Albert reacted quickly, and almost instantaneously grabbed the child by the collar and pulled the person back.

Prince Cezaire's only son glared at Prince Alex with hatred.

"It's all you, Papa quarrels with you before leaving, and he will die!"

The Empress took a deep breath, "Achill! ”

The queen looked at the princess behind her.

The princess just looked at the coffin in a daze, her eyes lost.

The person she loves, lying inside, separated between life and death.

She turned a blind eye to the noise of the outside world.

She stepped forward, but instead of taking her child back.

"Can you open the coffin, I think...... Look at him again. ”

Alex's lips twitched and he shook his head slightly.

The princess lowered her eyes and looked at the coffin, "But ...... I'm his wife......"

"How can you not let a wife see her husband for the last time...... the princess murmured.

Prince William winked at the queen.

The emperor and queen grabbed Princess Bernadyz, "Bernadyz, go to Valhalla first, where I will let you meet." ”

When the emperor took the princess away, Li Aili only heard the two princes whispering: "The body must be cremated, and Bernadyz must not be seen." ”
