Chapter 107 — Final Goodbye
Under the gloomy sky, rain poured down without any sign of stopping. A crowd of nobles stood around the black coffin, their servants holding umbrellas for them as they each placed a white lily on it, dressed in dark clothes. Soon, there was no space left on the dark box, covered with white flowers.
The royal family members wept, unable to control themselves, their warm tears mixing with the rain’s cold water.
Lucian stood beside Cynthia, just like in the past.
Nothing has changed... Everything is the same... Apart from the fact that this time, I know who the woman inside the coffin is.
A sour taste filled Cynthia’s mouth. She had wished for Arisia’s death at times. But she never meant for it to happen so soon. What could have caused it? No matter what, she couldn’t come up with a reason. Lucian made sure she was safe in the mansion. He even moved his knights from the main building where some of them guarded and brought some people without mana to guard her. Yet, she had died an earlier death?
Something terribly wrong is going on. I didn’t try to change this part. So why?..
A sudden, loud slap made her flinch before she could think any further.
In front of her stood the king, his black coat barely wrapping his broad figure. The dark bags under his eyes were visible despite his damped dark hair hiding some part of his emerald eyes. His eyes had turned red, clearly from crying nonstop.
"It’s all because of you!" He shouted furiously, the words escaping through his teeth.
Cynthia frowned in confusion, her gaze slowly shifting towards the person the king was talking to. Her eyes widened at the sight— the king grabbed Lucian by the collar, pulling him into the downpour.
She clenched her fist, trying to not speak. She couldn’t interfere in this conversation. Rather, if she did, it could ruin the plans she had carefully arranged.
