Chapter 199 - The Funeral(part Three)
"Sana" Said Felipe.
Sana turned around and saw Felipe's face, he didn't say anything but his look tell the whole story.
Sana pouted and sat down at the chair beside Felipe, he also sat down and closed his eyes.
All the guesses were terrified. However, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is that young man!? With one word he could control that Sana, Sana Veritia!"
"What kind of background he has!?"
"Sana said he is part of the Veritia's, maybe he is… a bastard?"
"No, I don't think so, maybe he is… miss Sana's man?"
"You don't know about the young miss of the Veritia's family right? She isn't someone that can fall in love!"
A lot of conversations where going on among the guesses, however, this also is a sign of how cruel and selfish people could be, after all, nobody seems to remember that is a young man in agony right at Sana's foot.
"I…t… hurts…" Cried Xavier.
Sana seem to remember him and looked below, he looked at Xavier face and smile.
"Now that I look at you better, you are not bad, you shall satisfy my needs tonight" Said Sana.
She made a small gesture with her hands and two Veritia's soldiers grabbed the young man by both arms.
"Make it that he somehow can… 'stand up'" Said Sana.
Xavier wanted to say something but not words came from his mouth.
Felipe looked back at Sana and didn't say anything.
Sana noticed this and smile.
"Jealous~? " Said Sana.
"Not in the slightest" Answered Felipe.
After this 'small' accident, the guesses arrived and everything was getting ready for the funeral, interesting enough the nobles arranged themselves in groups, four groups to be more precise, each group represent the houses that support each prince, of course, the four dragon families were excluded.
The four dragon families grabbed the second and third row of sits, next, the supporters of the first prince, which was the majority, took the four five and six row of sits, next Diana's supporters, Raul's supporters and finally Susana's supports which was the minority.
After an hour, the royal family members finally get to the ceremony.
Leading the charge was Fernando, following behind were Diana and Raul, Susana was on the furthest with a special white dress and flowers.
At their sight, everyone stood up, including the four dragon families.
"The royal family, look that the crown prince, Prince Fernando!"
"What crown prince are you talking about, the only one fit to be the next empress of Leitol is prince Diana!"
"Hmm! What are you talking about!? Prince Raul is the only option!"
At the sight of the princes of Leitol a small discussion occurred, a lot of people had already put their coins on someone and obviously, they wanted their chosen one to be the next emperor, the stakes were high, if you win, you could get a lot of power and status in Leitol, after all, like politicians on earth, a favor must be repaired with a favor.
And of course these families were going to collect the favors.
The four princes and princess went to the front and saw on the first row of sits, all of them except for Fernando.
"Hello, everyone, thank you for coming, Our father had important things and, despite his grieve, he could not take the time to come here, being the emperor of our nation comes with sacrifice; for that reason, I will be in charge on the ceremony of burial of my little brother, the fifth prince of Leitol, Alfonso Lockheart, who let this world a couple of months ago" Said Fernando.
He climbed the platform and looked at everyone.
"First of all, I want to thank you once again for accompany us in this moment of pain, the death of a family member is always sad, not matter what people say about Alfonso or how he acted in life, he, nevertheless, was my little brother and I loved him very much" Said Fernando.
When he said that, Raul made a small smirk.
"Fernando has improve in his acting, If I didn't know him, I would have buy it, after all, the one who most supported the decision of sending Alfonso to that godforsaken place was him" Though Raul.
"The death can't pay for it sins, however, my brother died a tragic death , without his family, with his wealth. In a lonely, cold and forgotten place, for that, I pledge to all of those who came with anger on their hearts for the deaths of your beloved ones at the hands of Alfonso's bad decisions, to let go of their anger, and forgive him, he maybe not have been a good human in life, however, he is a good death man" Said Fernando.
When these words left his mouth, a lot of nobles wanted to chuckle.
"Is he insulting him, or is he praising him?" Though Unstoppable.
At the furthest sit, two twins were looking at the smug face of Fernando.
"What a fucking jerk" Murmured Andrea.
"Shh! Don't let anyone heard you" Murmured his older brother, Astoeus.
Andrea looked at his brother with disappointment and closed his eyes in pain.
"Alfonso" Though Astoeus.
Astoeus, looked and saw a low of people yawing and some people even falling sleep, some young men were chatting and laughing between themselves.
Obviously, they didn't give a fuck about the funeral.
"Those fuckers" Murmured Astoeus.
"Young man, you shouldn't be rude and said those improper words, especially in a funeral" A voice came from his side.
"What?" Though Asteous.
When he looked at his side, he saw a man with a huge smile on his face grabbing at his cane and looking at Fernando with amusement.
"Sinc-since when!?" Said Asteous.
Asteous was astonish, and for a good reason, after all…
There was no one at his side when the funeral started!
Asteous looked at the man and frowned his eyes.
"I… do I know you?" Murmured Asteous.
"Don't know, I don't know you, however, I don't know if you know me" Said the man.
"…" Asteous looked at the man and though hard.
"I know him, but where have I see him?" Though Asteous.
"It's quite the show" Another voice came, this time, from behind Asteous.
He turned around and his heart jumped.
Standing behind him, a gorgeous woman could be seem, she had low brown hair and green eyes, she looked coldly and Fernando.
"Hehe, that guy is quite the actor, even I am impressed" Said the man.
Asteous looked at their conversation and thought more and more.
"I have heard this voice, where, where!?" Though Asteous.
*Sniff*
"Eh?"
Asteous heard something coming from his left side, he turned around and saw his brother, Andrea crying like a little kid while looking at his side.
"What happened Andrea?" Asked Asteous.
"Uh…uhhhhhh…" Andrea wanted to say something but words weren't coming form his mouth.
"And- Mmf!? Asteous was about to talk when the man beside him tapped his mouth.
He turned around and saw the man making a 'shh' gesture and signaled at the platform.
Fernando continued.
"On this day, and from today onwards, Alfonso Lockheart shall regain his royal rights and he can be buried alongside the other Lockheart member in our mausoleum" Said Fernando.
A coffin came to sight, at the front of the coffin, there was a name written in gold.
Alfonso Lockheart.
"Inside these coffin shall rest my brother for eternity, lets take a minute of silence, to my brother, to the Lockheart family" Said Fernando.
Everyone closed their eyes, of course, not for the so called 'respect' for Alfonso but more for the respect to the royal family.
*Clap* *Clap*
However, when all the vicinity was in silence, a sound interrupted everyone thoughts.
"What the-, who has the balls to clap in this moment!?" Everyone though.
Fernando also opened his eyes and furrowed his eyes.
"Who dares?" Said Fernando.
The sight of everyone followed the sound until the last row, there a man stood up.
The man had a cane on his hand and blonde, with some black parts, hair.
The man slowly walked towards the center of the funeral, behind him two people appeared, one woman and one young man.
"Well, well, I was already in tears from this lovely funeral, however, I think that you fucked up a little bit at the end, you see, the grand finale must be with emotion and some tears, not rush to the very end in just two paragraph, I will give you seven points just for that" The man walked towards the front.
When people saw him, all of them opened their mouths in shock.
"How- how is this possible!?" Said Fernando.
The man sat beside Susana in the first row, who also looked at the man with shock.
"You don't mind if I sit in your seat, right?" Said the man.
"After all, I am the start of today's event"
"Alfonso!" Shouted Fernando.
