But Kylelius believed that in two years' time, he was fully qualified to stand with them, and that his three men would be able to stand on their own.

Kellius knew that now was the time for them to exercise and prepare, and to make full use of these two years, Kellius believed that the 'water of death' would definitely have his share at that time. Although Kyleus's current self-confidence is so laughable, Keerlius will not give up this hope, even if the possibility of success is extremely small.

If you don't do it, then it's impossible, and only by working hard can you be considered qualified to enjoy the fruits of victory.

With such a simple multiple-choice question, Kyrlius would never make the wrong choice, even if it seemed meaningless to others. However, using all his energy and heart to do this was the only choice for Kyrlius at this time.

It's early in the morning again.

Kylelius rode in a carriage with Bellamy as the coachman, to the Earl's estate on the outskirts. Today is the funeral of Lycia and the day of the implementation of the Kellius plan.

After the burial ceremony, Kyrlius decided to take Lycia's body with him. No, no, it's not strictly a corpse, and it's better to use the word 'body', after all, she didn't fall into death in the strict sense of the word.

In order to conceal the fact that he was a vampire, Kylelius did not tell the Count and the others from the beginning to the present that he had already embraced Lycia for the first time, and naturally did not reveal that he was going to obtain the 'Water of Death'.

But the resurrection ritual after that, naturally needed Lycia's corpse, and Kylelius didn't want to come here again to take out Lycia's corpse. One of the reasons. It's because Kyrlius doesn't know where he'll be by then, and he may not be able to get here anytime soon. He didn't want to waste time on the way to and from at all.

And the second reason, and the main reason. It was because Kyrlius couldn't stand the pain and longing of Lycia being away for a long time.

The fact that he hadn't seen Licia for just three days had already made him a little unable to suppress the longing in his heart because of his strong self-control, and if he hadn't seen Licia for a longer time, Kylelius himself didn't know what he would do.

So Kyrlius, who was not emotionally stable, decided to take Lycia's body today. He had already prepared the container for Lycia's body and the corresponding magic tricks that would preserve it, and waited for the burial ceremony to end.

When Kyleus arrived at the Earl's Manor, he was led by his servants to an open lawn where the funeral ceremony was held.

The lawn is dotted with ornamental trees and other plants, and in the center of the lawn stands a dark brown half-man-tall stone tablet with rows of text written on it. Apparently this is the tombstone for Lycia.

Although it looked very peaceful and beautiful, Kyrlius still didn't like it.

Even though this is an artistic garden that the Earl spent a lot of money on the best horticulturists and spent three whole days pruning. But in the eyes of Kyleus, this small lawn was clearly not worthy of Lycia's place in his heart.

With mixed feelings, Kellius came to the garden under the guidance of his servant.

There were already a lot of people standing there in this purposely manicured lawn or garden, most of them whispering softly. Most of them were dressed in black or dark clothes, and they all looked like guests who had come to the funeral.

And because it's not too far from the last wedding, most of the people here are the same people as the last wedding. Kyrlius even saw a lot of acquaintances in the crowd - Rick Luxemburg was one of the guests at the wedding three days earlier.

The funeral began officially after the arrival of Kyleus, not because Kylelius had such a large face that could make many guests and nobles wait for him, but because the funeral ceremony was personally presided over by Kyleus, the only priest of the Order in Banki.

Although he served as the husband of Lycia. Originally, as the family of the deceased, it should be his role and responsibility, and the wedding celebrant usually cannot be held by the family members.

But the current situation is more peculiar, and Lycia's faith is that of the Order Priest. This had already been decided after she was engaged to Kyleus, so her funeral had to be presided over by an official priest of the Church of Order.

But here in Banky, the priest of the order is able to perform such formal ceremonies. Kylelius was alone. Priests and bishops from other places are unable to come here to preside over the funeral of the count's daughter at this special time for various reasons.

Of course, the real reason, Kylelius and the Count and others all know. The current tensions in the western part of the kingdom have left the clergy who are pastoring the Lord of Order in various regions to preside over a funeral of the count's daughter.

Kylelius walked slowly into the garden, towards the steps that had been specially prepared for him beside the stone tablet. The slight breeze lifted the corners of his clothes, and the black priest's robe made a gentle "ho~ho~" swinging sound, making the originally noisy crowd quiet for a moment.

Ignoring the crowd around him, Kylelius walked to the stage on his own, opened the thick book of the Book of Order that had been prepared there, and then read the prayer in a calm voice that almost every believer would use.

"Merciful and righteous King, you have chosen your follower, Lycia, to be your servant to prepare a feast of the Word and the Eucharist for your people in the world. You have called her back to you, and you have blessed her in Heaven to share your eternal feast with all the saints. May all men praise her name, and all the world praise your glory. My master, order is eternal!"

The low, steady voice spread through this empty garden, and the light wind drifted here with the sacred words, constantly spreading outward, spreading the radiance and love of the gods.

From beginning to end, Kyrlius recited the words dedicated to Titar in an unfluctuating tone, unhurried and unslow, as if he were simply repeating an inconsequential matter.

If it weren't for the fact that the memories of all of them told them accurately, the person on the stage who recited the holy words without emotion was the husband of the deceased. The priest's unwavering expression, and his calm, unchanging language, made the people around them suspect that Kylelius and Lysia were mere strangers to each other. (To be continued......)
