The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 374: The lies in the eulogy.

Facing the crowd of mourners in the church, Sigrid hoped that her eyes were red enough to prove that she had cried. Glancing in the direction of the camera which was covering the funeral, she dabbed the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and sniffed.

Somewhere in the crowd, someone sobbed loudly.

"Today we have come together to mourn the passing of a sovereign, a great woman whose presence once filled this empire with quiet thunder.

Queen Maurelia De-Kensington Maximus was not just born to rule--she chose it. With grace sharpened by steel and diplomacy as flexible as the air, she brought change to a kingdom that was fractured and helped shape it into an empire where we all can sleep peacefully and dare to dream.

She was not just a queen. She was more than a crown. She was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. She built schools so that girls could get an education and have a chance to achieve greater things.

She sent pastries to grieving widows and three gold coins each to sustain them for a while. She built a hospital, supported three orphanages and encouraged the spreading of knowledge on agriculture because she did not want anyone in Eldoria to go a day without food.

She was as sweet as she liked her tea, five spoons of sugar in each cup. Her gaze was as sharp as that of a knight on the battlefield and she could silence a room with one stare."

Sigrid paused and sniffed, dabbing at her eyes again before continuing.

"As tough as she was, she liked to make jokes. I will never forget when I was grieving the loss of my first child and to comfort me she made up some jokes that I would love to share with you.
