The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 375: The queen’s last words.

After the burial, the celebration of the queen’s life was all that was left on the itinerary. Unlike the ceremony of the late queen consort Rina which was attended by flamboyantly dressed young ladies, this one was very much toned down.

Almost everyone was dressed in black and those that were not in black had opted for other dull colors. There were less shiny jewels on their bodies. The smiles on their faces were tense, sad or forced.

The music which was being played was mellow and there was no dancing. Mourners were standing or sitting in groups, drinking, eating and gossiping or discussing the quick spreading rumor about the king having opened his eyes finally.

Those that were not doing this were finding other ways to fill their time, like watching television. On every channel, the death of the queen was the subject. In every corner of the empire, her death was being mourned, people were being interviewed on their opinions or memories of the late queen.

They were all giving random responses, nothing touching or personal. It was a miracle that nobody was talking about her cold bitter nature.

"Has anybody seen the Crown Prince?" Someone asked.

Roland had last been seen when the casket was lowered into the ground. He had not been able to sit through the entire funeral to the end.

Currently, he was drinking in the sonar, holding a letter that had his mother’s last words. It had been delivered by one of her ladies in waiting and it was a one year old letter.

According to what he was told, she wrote one every month, preparing for the day when her husband or Consort Rina would get rid of her.

"So, what do you think she wrote?" Galen took a sip of wine from a very large mug.
