Kapitel 116: Funeral

The beginning of October month is not a happy one for the citizens of Napuna. A solemn atmosphere engulfed the entire city.

Today particularly, all shops and businesses were closed by the order of Prince Niall as a sign of mourning over the death of the king. Such orders meet no opposition from the merchant class. The Bagyarosia flag across the city was half-masted under his order.

Some of the citizens were out on the main street as early as the dawn break with clean and neat clothing. They wait patiently there as the black carriage needs to pass through the main street to reach the Royal Cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

To say Nicholas I is a great king is too much praise for him. However, he is certainly not qualified to be called a terrible king either.

At the palace, the queen, the prince, the prime minister, commanders, and nobles are all there. They're all wearing simple darker colour clothing with minimal accessories and decoration.
