Chapter 19: In Front of the Grave
Baron Renan’s funeral was held quietly with a few relatives and acquaintances.
Timona refused my attendance. He said that it would look suspicious if I were to get involved anymore.
They believed that I threw a tantrum because they had imprisoned my favourite teacher, so they seem to believe that I was satisfied now that he has been released. Neither the Chancellor nor George V received any punishment.

But I was also glad I didn’t attend the funeral. I would have wanted to kill the clergy, no matter who they were or what he looked like when they were praying.
The Baron was now resting in the public cemetery for aristocrats in the palace. This was apparently in his will.
I’m sure I’ll keep coming to his grave whenever I get lost from now on.
I prayed in front of his grave.
This was normally Count Palatine’s tutor time, but not today. Perhaps he was being considerate in his own way.
