Chapter 295 Eulogy (1/2)
Genaral Tang, had already heard news of Lyner's' death and was visiting the grave of his son. He reported to his son, about the death of his most hated enemy. He was suppose to be happy about this outcome, but for some reason General Tang only felt empty inside.
...
Lyner's body was moved towards the harbor were his funeral was going to be held. The body of Lyner even in death stood proud and tall as his smile never faded. Many doctors who saw his body were confused as to how Lyner's body stood upright even after the body died. Of course they wanted to study this but Anita never allowed it.
Instead the people were forced to move Lyner's body without changing his standing position, this was the request of the wife of the fallen hero. Seeing as this wasn't such a difficult request, they decided to do it, especially for someone like Lyner, who has done a lot for Berdonia.
Lyner's body was not moved, instead they moved the ground he was standing on. A lot of money and manpower was used to move the body along with the ground it was standing on, but that was what was needed to be done.
...
Five days have passed and on Regon's harbor, thousands of people have come to honor the fallen hero. Many saw the body of Lyner standing on the helm of a wooden ship using his sword as a cane. This was the final position Lyner was in before he died. The people who saw this were in awe, some even felt that this was such an awesome way to die. Anita was the one who cleaned his wounds, and stitched Lyner's left shoulder.
Most of Lyner's students have attended the funeral, the only ones missing were Alex, Oliver, and Sayaka. Every past student who was present there looked at their once lazy teacher standing tall and proud even in his death, with a smile was on his face.
Seeing him like that pained some of the students, while the others who understood that smile of his were both saddened and happy for their teacher.
...
The people that had attended Lyner's funeral threw some flowers on his ship. The more artistic ones gave out some paintings to bring on his ship. While most of the students who attended threw pillows and blankets on the ship. The Mercenaries and soldiers present threw some wires attached to knives, this was there own way to honor the fallen hero.
The President of Berdonia on the other hand gave Lyner two presents one was a statue of him. The statue was like an exact replica of his final moments, as he stood tall and proud with a vicious smile on his face. The bronze statue radiated Lyner's joy and pride which made most of the members of the Mercenary Club happy with it.
The second gift the President gave was a rank for Lyner, he gave Lyner the rank of GA (General of theArmy). Now not only was Lyner the highest rank merc with SS but he was also the highest rank soldier with GA.
No one went against the President when he gave the rank of GA to Lyner. Some of the other officials didn't like this, but they had no choice but to follow along, seeing that if they oppose this decision they would be enemies of the public. This was the result of how Emily and Kei made Lyner into a hero to the public, which made it hard for this officials to do anything at the moment.
...
After everyone had offered their gifts to Lyner, some people were chosen to say somethings about the fallen hero. Some of them talked about how Lyner saved them in the front lines, some of them talked about his great military exploits, and some of them talked about how kind he was.
