Isolde said, “Clark, since this place doesn’t seem suitable for our parents, I think there’s no need to insist on burying them in the ancestral grave. Mother always liked Montlins Manor, and I’m sure Father would have wanted to be with her there. How about we bury them at Montlins Manor?”

Clark was somewhat surprised. “You think that way?”

Isolde knew that Clark was a man of principles, so she explained, “I haven’t decided yet; I’m just discussing it with you. What do you think?”

Clark thought for a moment before replying, “That might not be a good idea. If the ancestral grave wasn’t available, scattering the ashes elsewhere might not matter, but now that we have the tomb, and our ancestors‘ graves have been gathered there, the Langley family has roots here. If we bury them elsewhere, it could be seen as denying that my father was a true Langley family descendant. I’m afraid my father’s spirit wouldn’t rest peacefully.”

Isolde wasn’t prepared with any strong arguments to convince him–she was simply going by her heart. She knew there were things she hadn’t thought through. Would Father resent her for moving his resting place?

Oliver spoke up, “I honestly don’t see it as a big issue. Many court officials and marquises are buried in special plots, not in their family’s ancestral graves. I think Geoffrey and Prunella were deeply connected to Argentum. They probably would have preferred to remain there, close to the people they cared about.”

Clark responded, “That’s true, but when Father bought the land for the ancestral grave, perhaps his intention was still to be buried there. Isolde, if we don’t use the ancestral grave, where do you plan to bury them?”

Isolde replied, “Mother liked Montlins Manor, so I would like to bury them there.”

But knowing how stubborn I was and how I couldn’t sit still, she’d gather a few of the little workers and maids to sit inside by the fire, occasionally tossing a few sweet potatoes into the flames. The smell of them roasting was so good. Back then, even though I didn’t have my family around, I was still happy. Honestly, did I really live a worse life than anyone else?
