Chapter 94: Funeral

On the other hand, King Vilas was currently standing at the small balcony, behind the pillar to look down at the cemetery of the people. Everyone had gathered in their black clothes, where it was Second Man Daniel who was currently standing near the lady, who lay dead on the ground. 

Ava Fedrick's entire face was as pale as possible, with no sign of blood vessels anymore. Moreover, her dress was changed into a black cloth, with her head covered up with a scarf. As silent as possible, she was already announced dead... 

It was the priest who saw the Second man Daniel, who stood there in the daze to clear up his throat, "Second Prince, it is the time for lady Ava to go into the coffin and lay peacefully.." 

There was no sign from Second and Daniel either. All he did was linger his eyes at the lady, with no amount of emotions flowing in them. He was silent, but the same silence wasn't out of uneasiness. It was a deep scar since she was the hope...who carried his son.. 

On the other hand, Lady Ira and Princess Flora were also standing in the farthest corner to look at the scene that unfolded in front of their eyes. Yet there was no sorrow present in lady Ira's heart, but she did maintain the expressionless face throughout. Whereas, Princess Flora had tried to keep herself shut, with her heart shattering deep inside her cage. 'She is really dead as per what mom wanted...' 

The thought was very much conflicting... Her mother had once again caused death in an exchange for the black magic which she asked for... 

Despite knowing that if Ava Fedrick was supposed to be alive, they all would have already lost their positions. There was a child in her stomach which belonged to her father, causing them great worry. 

But death..this was still very vital since Ava opted to be the concubine of someone who is already having a daughter and a wife.. 

It was Second Man Daniel's fellow minister who kept his hand on Daniel's shoulder, to bring him out of his daze. "We have to proceed with the ritual. Let the lady rest in peace. She has suffered." 

"I have lost my people too.." was all Daniel muttered, before giving a slight nod to the priest to proceed with the rest of the ritual to bury. As per the custom, all of them were asked to pray for her well-being in the afterlife and that she gets a better life in the next birth. 

Afterward, a hole under the ground was dug by the servants and the soldiers, in which the coffin was supposed to be laid. The Second Man bent on his knees, to finally touch the stomach of the lady before his eyes drew sharply to see her face. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to save you from the eyes of the evil. I hope that you get a better life in the next birth." 

With this as his last saying, he saw the other soldiers finally closing the coffin in front of his eyes. Slowly with the time, her face was covered, with just one black coffin. 

"Let's keep the coffin in the hole to let her soul rest in peace and let her go to her next birth." Priest announced. 

As per his orders, the next actions were carried out. With the help of the soldiers, they laid the heavy coffin into the dug hole into the ground before they raised their heads to pass it a salute and come out. 

The priest asked the Second man Daniel to put some flowers on the coffin which he did without rebelling. His long gloomy face didn't utter a single word in between until he saw that the soldiers were coming again putting the mud over the dug hole and on the coffin. 

As his fingers curled up into a fist,  a layer of annoyance, frustration had surfaced. When Daniel's ministers and close allies tried to soothe him, he had brutally removed their hands from his shoulders.

"I DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE'S SYMPATHY!" Was what he roared, with his face burning into the pit of fire. He was angry, super angry, with everyone that has been going around him. 

Neither only did his plan to kill King Vilas fail but also, a lady who had given him hope to bore a son was declared dead with his child... 

While his ministers were already wary of his behavior, they continued to say, "Daniel, we all are here. You can't lose your consciousness just because of one lady." 

"I'm the SECOND MAN OF SUZANIA KINGDOM!" he yelled, with the fire already covering his eyes. "No one...I mean no one can actually tell me what to do and what not to! No one has the right to this!" 

Second Man Daniel's face was no longer than any angry man, who simply yelled at all on his allies. Neither did anyone raise their voice on this fact either since they all understood that all this pain surfaced because the head lost someone really dear to him.. 

Without even waiting for the grave of Ava Fedrick to be filled with the mud, he walked out from the place when everyone simply watched his back in silence.

On the other hand, Princess Flora immensely felt bad for her father. There was a soft frown, as she took a few steps, in the hope to run after her father but it was her mother who tugged her arm to let her standstill. 

Rotating her head to stare at her mother, she gave her a strong shake. "Don't go near him for now. He needs space. " 

"B-but..." 

"I agree he is your father but let him mourn the death of his concubine. If we disturb him right now, he will simply be enraged and yell at you to hurt your sentiments." Mrs. Ira's words were worse, but it met with a lot of reluctance from Flora's side. 

"B-But he needs someone to comfort him right now. If we don't go to him, how will he recover? Father can also find any new concubine to bury his sorrow.." Princess Flora was least interested to see him bringing another concubine into the house. 

Not because she is fed up with her father's outside affairs but witnessing her mother taking other's life so effortlessly surely raised her concern. Another innocent life was lost because of their ambitions..how many are more to come for them to color their hands red? 

It was still a question that lingered on her face, but Ira's firm hold on her arm forbade her to walk away from where they stood. 

As Princess Flora raised her eyes, she saw that the soldiers had already filled the hole with the mud. It was all plain now... Since the priest had to complete all the rituals, he once again put the flowers on the grave, and a thumb of the name was lost. 

For a few minutes, Princess Flora can't feel the sentiments in her mind. But as Ira took the voice of them, she whispered into her ears, "You are his daughter. If he has another son or daughter, do you think that he will actually listen to you or look up to you?" 

"Forget about your position as the princess, he might kick you out. Are you interested in those circumstances to arrive in front of our eyes?" On hearing this, princess flora rotated her head to look at her mother with shocked expressions. "An innocent life is lost. Are you telling me that.." 

"I'm telling you this for your good. Don't take these deaths seriously, otherwise, we all will lose our titles." Lady Ira's eyes glow with the undefined mist. She was all dark, her heart was black, Flora concluded. 

But in the back of her mind, Princess Flora had to sell her lips as they turned into a straight line. Without even muttering a single thing, she held herself back with her lowered face, not finding enough courage to even find herself in this position. 

'I knew everything all along. But I let them have it. Am I Not responsible for everything just like a mother is?' Flora's thoughts flashed again when she realized that it was her, who followed her mother's schemes to run away from the marriage of the vampire.. 

But it didn't bring even slight of the unhappiness in Mrs. Ira's mind, who had still kept her head up, with the unspeakable aura that was capturing her head. 'Doesn't matter..this girl also met with the same faith..'

Her plan was early access, with Alice wedded to the vampire and now, Ava Fedrick was also out of her way. At this thought, Mrs. Ira's shoulders stuffed upwards with a smirk that was formed on her lips. 

"What are you now thinking of mother?" It Was Flora who asked with evident worry. 

"Isn't it funny? Killing two birds with one stone. Alice is also not anymore in our Kingdom as the lady is also getting out. Even luck is in our favor. Flora.." Hearing this, Floras didn't feel the flowers like she used to earlier. 

But she still resisted the power to enquire, "Now what mom? How are we going to deal with others..?" 

"Now….it's time to deal with Prince Dominic and King Villas for once and all...it's time for their death to arrive through my hands.."
