Chapter 385: To Be A Protector
On their way back, The Dowager took her to the Clemenshire Abbey a medieval Church that graced many Coronations and Royal weddings. Many Kings and Queens were buried in this Church that is more than a thousand years old.
Talia knew they are here to pay respects to King George – her great grandfather and also Louis’ father and grandfather. The Dowager had brought flowers and Talia silently followed.
King George’s tomb was very elaborate and Talia stayed a couple steps behind the Dowager and took a good look at it. Big marble arches, beautiful sculptures of baby angels and even gold accents were everywhere.
King George Albert Louis Philip- commonly called King George the Third or simply ’The Great King’. It seems like her great grandma and his family called him Albert.
Wow! Talia thought. He was so loved by the people.
She knew there was a voting that year and people willingly paid extra tax for their King’s tomb. And here it is... a tomb that cost more than ten million dollars two decades ago and looks magnificent even in today’s standards.
And there was an odd space near the tomb which Talia guessed that it must have been left for her great grandmother to be buried near her husband.
She took in a deep breath. In their Castle, her grandmother has a mausoleum and her grandfather had explained how he wants to be buried in there. He had arranged for everything including the type of coffin and the menu for his wake.
Remembering that, a chill passed through her body and she rubbed her arms to warm herself up.
Oof! Grandpa, I hope you never die!
The Dowager stood silent in front of the tomb for a long time and Talia silently stood there. She understood she might have a lot to tell him after her meeting with Lady Edith.
