Chapter 251 - 232: The Funeral of the Silvermoon Knight
In the Imperial Capital of Laine, the low, mournful sound of the horns had echoed for three full days.
The citizens spontaneously took to the streets to mourn the departure of the Empire’s hero.
The life of the Silvermoon Knight had long been known to the people of Laine, with many youths able to recount every victory of the Silvermoon Knight as if they were precious treasures.
He was such a revered hero, a guardian deity of the Laine people for a century.
This grand and solemn funeral was what the hero deserved.
The casket of the Silvermoon Knight entered through the city gates of the Imperial Capital, carried by ten Legendary Paladins, and was taken all the way to the plaza in front of the Royal Palace. Instead of the silver-white drapes that usually adorned the palace walls, black ones had been hung. The Young Emperor of Laine approached the casket to read the hero’s eulogy in a grieving tone.
A somber atmosphere permeated, and no one knew when or from where it began, but the sound of weeping gradually became one, with tens of thousands of Laine people who had come to see him off crying with reddened eyes.
After the Emperor finished reminiscing, the Silvermoon Knight’s casket was taken directly to the cemetery, where he was buried in the central position.
Originally, another general from hundreds of years ago was buried here, but the Emperor had personally ordered for this general’s grave to be moved to the side to let the Silvermoon Knight rest in this spot, to highlight the merits he had achieved.
However, this command led to the suicide of the descendants of the other general.
