Chapter 908 (1/2)
”Euren Eckert, a brave and noble Byrne knight;”
In Byrne Cathedral, the atmosphere was solemn;
Everyone at the scene was silent, and there was irreducible grief in their eyes.
Loren, dressed in a black dress, stood in the front row of the crowd and glanced at the Countess of red blood Castle standing on his side; Charlotte, who nodded slightly, had an iron blue face and could not see any sadness in her eyes.
Yes, just endless anger, and a trace of remorse and remorse.
”A pious and humble servant of the Holy Cross;”
On the main altar, Weber with scriptures in his hands looked solemn - as bishop Bain, the work of praying for the dead should be entrusted to the Deacon below; But at present, Byrne cathedral is dilapidated. Many experienced priests were killed that night. The rest is distributed to the whole red blood castle, and there are no more staff; He can only preside over the whole funeral himself.
Although the little priest has always stressed the need to keep the church away from politics, he is not ignorant of people's hearts; For the red blood Castle immersed in grief and anger, a solemn funeral can cheer them up and unite people.
”An indispensable companion around us, a bold and loyal friend who has inherited the blood of Akt in anger castle;”
The dark Countess of fury castle, Eckert, bowed his head and knelt down in front of the coffin on one knee. His trembling right hand struggled to hold the edge of the coffin. His uncertain eyes dodged and dared not look directly at the figure lying inside.
The lost old man suddenly collapsed his original strong body; His temples were white, and his bloodshot eyes were dark yellow.
After surviving the post ”black Duke” era, the imperial governor era and the ”new Byrne” era, after three supreme emperors, the Earl of fury Castle lost his last direct blood after losing his son, and became a real ”lonely man”.
”With his own body, he blocked evil and terror out of our sight; with his red blood and noble and pure soul, he proved his indisputable oath.”
With a sad nostril, the little priest still said in awe: ”those who keep their promises will be blessed; warriors who die to keep their vows will be detached from the world.”
”Today, we do not cry for the death of the deceased, because everyone has a death; today, we respectfully send him away and spread his noble spirit of loyalty, humility, courage and fearlessness of strong enemies in every corner of the world!”
”They are the bravest spirits in the Holy Cross heaven and the brightest stars shining on Byrne's earth; because of the existence of Youlun Eckert, and because there are dozens, hundreds and thousands of brave followers behind him; Byrne... Can be proud to be called the hometown of knights!”
”So, my friends... Please don't cry; because sadness is the last thing that noble people who have dedicated their lives don't want to see;” the little priest who spoke softly turned slowly, and his low voice seemed to comfort the children:
”Heroes choose noble sacrifice, not to leave a world full of sadness and darkness; but to use their own life in exchange for the rising of the sun the next day, and everything remains the same.”
”This is not only the will of the Holy Cross, but also their will!”

After the funeral, the crowd gathered in the cathedral still did not disperse; The faint sound of conversation and crying still spread from the door to the corridor outside the door.
Count Eckert, with a gloomy expression, sat in front of the coffin, one by one accepting the condolences and comfort of the guests present, nodded mechanically, and still did not recover from the grief of the death of his relatives.
”Euren Eckert is not married, but he has a six-year-old nephew.” outside the corridor, Charlotte holding the door frame silently watched the figure of count Eckert with a low voice:
”Count Eckert said he wanted the child to inherit the family name and title of Eckert, and I promised for you.”
”I also promised that he would become the Duke's personal soldier... The position of captain of court bodyguard of Youlun would be left to him until he was twenty years old; when he inherited the title, he would succeed as the vice president of the Knights' College of the principality.”
The black haired wizard said nothing and acquiesced to the result.
Although it can not be called compensation, at least it has an explanation for the loyal count of Eckert.
”It's all my fault. It's my excessive assertions... That led to this result.”
The hoarse voice was shaking, and Charlotte's eyes widened, like a drowning man panting desperately.
”If I hadn't ordered you Lun Eckert to rush to the cathedral, he should still stand by me intact...”
”If, if I didn't promise you that year's appointment on my own, we could have fought our last breath to win the two culprits...”
”If I didn't force you to be with me that night, if I didn't show up there, I wouldn't...”
Pop!
Charlotte trembled as she felt her right hand suddenly pressing her shoulder.
”Charlotte, you have done well... Better than many people.” standing behind the self reproaching countess, the black haired wizard whispered, ”of all people, you are the one who needs no self reproach.”
”But I...”
”If you don't open your mouth, I'll choose one of two at last.” interrupted Charlotte, who was pale and hurried to refute, Loren pressed her right hand on her shoulder a little harder:
”You helped me make a very difficult decision without making more people sacrifice... For this, I sincerely thank you!”
The countess who clenched her lower lip was still full of bitterness and grief, showing a little weakness.
”Most importantly, we didn't lose... Didn't we?” the dark haired wizard reluctantly smiled with a cautious sigh. ”The enemy's plan failed - the assassination didn't confuse Byrne and the Empire, but became more united because of the common enemy.”
”What's more, in fact, even if they just failed their plan, it can be regarded as a victory to some extent.” Lauren continued to comfort: ”you forced away two strong enemies with promises and vows, and won a year's opportunity for Byrne, which is a very big advantage.”
”After all... This is no longer just a threat to a principality, but an enemy to be faced by the whole empire; the other party is to attack with all his strength and want to defeat or even completely destroy them without paying any price... That's wishful thinking!”
