The crowd in black contradicted the white marble hall
As the priest prayed for the dead, the nobles made their way towards the man who looked peaceful in the coffin
¿¿¿
Can't believe the sun of this empire is no more
???
It is said that he was so devastated by his noble consort's death that he decided to kill himself
¿¿¿
kill himself!?
???
(whispers) it is said he hanged himself last night
¿¿¿
!!!
The crowd continued
it was not like a secret as it was quite evidentiary, since it was just 3 days ago the Noble Consort Hana passed away due to terminal illness
The children who were now orphan walked in making the crowd buzz like the bees whose hive was attacked
¿¿¿
The noble Consort's children r here
???
(pitiful) poor kids.. they just attended their mother's funeral days ago and now their father's
¿¿¿
Father? (mockingly) If his majesty ever acknowledged them then yes, sure he is their father
The Twins who were 18 held their little 13-year-old sister's hand while their younger brother who was 15 followed them with lilies in his hand
Few pitied them.. Few mocked them.. the intention of the kingdom's subject was not just for giving respect to their dead Emperor was clear by their murmurs
None of the siblings had change in their expression.. no sorrow, no concern.. condolence was no where found
They walked towards The Empress and her son Victor who stood by the coffin

It was his Majesty's decision to take his own life.. Blaming our mother who is already dead is not the good way to cope with the loss
Portia
<grinding her teeth> You--
Dylan
<intervenes> We will take our leave now ur highness <bows>
Portia's eyes were fixed on Vivian who with her cold gaze made her uncomfortable
Noble consort : the emperor's higher ranking concubine... The title was given to women who ranked second to the Empress in the imperial harem
