The funeral and death part-1
In a graveyard around with sophisticated gravestones placed with heavy decoration all around with various marble statues and from looks of it alone the graveyard was a place for elites.
Today this graveyard was not empty and serene like it was used to. instead it was filled with people today of which were surrounding a small grave which was dugged recently.
As from a signal from a high priest who was in bright white clothes with golden linnings in it. The group of priest began to pray.
"A KIND And dear
Soul he was
Both endearing and smart
filled with curious and kind gesture
My lord, he was just child
This hell of world was not deserving of him"
"For this kind endearing soul
May spirit guide it to heavens
Rest in peace,Zohann von stan "
As priest were saying that they give a signal to a nearby man who in returned
Using his magic lifted a gravestone and placed it on the head side of the dugged grave and craved name of him using his magic.
Zohann vo stan, age 7 , of family of stan, belonged to county of Stanford.
The prayers of priests sounded louder than usual because people were silent.
All of them wore black outfits to mourn for funeral and women were showing
Sad expressions and men were also having their heads down to signal their mourning.
Soon the coffin which was laid side was
Bring near by a group of soldiers in proper uniform mostly decorative for special occasion like this.
On the signal from the priest, soldiers lowered the coffin in the grave and putted it inside and then climbed out
And putted their hands on chest as according to ritual.
The process was done.Soon after three days the coffin will be Buried into the ground.
A man camed out his outfit fully consists of black color his suit was mix of victorian era and mix of french aristocracy from our world. The although was in mid thirties and was not in his younger years was still very handsome a wave of admiration ran from ladies and envy from men in the crowd of people.
The man had pale white skin fully white and had smooth blonde hair and he also had blue azure eyes like a cheery on top a cake. He also had a moustache which did not stained his appearance it only increased his aura of a regal and respectable around him. The man in question was none other than current temporary head and viscount of stan. Adolf von stan .
Now that man is not only a baron but also de facto ruler of this viscountancy as time goes by this man`s power is only increasing.
Among the guests which had arrived from all over was also count whiteblade.Among many nobles also thinked that something is not right.Well other nobles just thought and gossiped hushly with each other but countwhiteblade was not like that he acted on it not just sit around.
Soon that handsome man adolf went and putted a garland of flowers near the tombstone and started explain the death of the child. According to the statements of the family zohann went missing in a monster near the impassion mountains while returing from the forest.According to empire`s law he was declared dead after his body was not founded three months later.
But whiteblade knew all of this man was speaking was lies. His own son was in capital right now serving empire as a diplomat. he had two months ago contacted him to investigate about that kid zohann's movement right after the yearly meeting with Adolf during that time.
And he camed onto something interesting.
Just some days ago his son had sended him all the information they could gather using their network in capital.
First of all they had uncovered all the registries of healers and apothecaries who served and treated nobles and from them he didn't founded a single name of stan family registered three months ago.Not in every single one of them was name or even insignia or other families name registered.
And another point was the noble entry registery of the capital in which also name of the zohann was not mentioned
In the time period mentioned by that man. Just lies! That man is babbling out to all of us lies!
Did that man really killed that kid and called it a monster attack?Or was that it was a doing of a rival of this man that I don't know about?
As Count whiteblade was processing all this data to counter and make his next move a call came to him.
"Master,it's our house's turn to offer condolences."
"Yes, let's go and give me the garland of flowers."
"Yes,my lord."
As Count whiteblade took garland and offered it the gravestone where other many garlands were kept too.He closed his eyes prayed for peace of the soul of boy.
As he had done his prayers to he looked towards where Adolf was standing he saw that many people had encircle him and were talking to him.
He could even see some of the noble women admiring him secretly.
Looking at this count sighed "tsk, charm of this man... What I can say about that..."
"Master, even you in your younger days
were famous for your looks in academy of the capital so much that they called you whiteblade's blade of charms!"a hushed whisper of his bulter camed.
"Huh,you will never stop pulling my leg do you Gunther?and yes stop calling me that name it now sounds creepy for old man like me."
In reply bulter just smiled like it had nothing do with him and went to guide their servants who had camed with them here.
I just don't know what happens to Gunther sometimes that he acts like that thought count whiteblade and sighed.
I should have proper conversation with this guy what was his name yes....
Adolf von stan, a baron.
Saying that count whiteblade went to meet the Adolf.
He saw that Adolf was describing death of the zohann while with sad expression on his face.
I should applaud this man, for lying so smoothly with those expression if I had not known about insider information from my network maybe I would have also believed this man. Thought whiteblade.
So,let's have a proper talk with him and see how much he speaks about right and wrong.
Count whiteblade spoke that and went to meet the man who was now the new leader of stan.
Meanwhile here zohann had already died and on the other side zohann was still alive but barely clinging onto life just some moments from passing away....
To be continued....
