Capítulo 38: Chapter 36:the funeral(Delonne's POV)
I live in Anga with my father and mother. We live in a simple, but comfortable hut near the Rhoyne. I was named after my great-grandmother. My Great-grandmother and great-grandfather are so affectionate, I love when they visit us. Grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and aunt-in-law are nice as well. Father worked as a stevedore and he seems to be paid quite well for it.
Mother mostly stays at home taking care of us. I, my four sisters, and five brothers learned the letters and numbers at the local school, while my mother, and sometimes father, accompanies our progress. Father seems to have a lot of friends in the city, especially one named Jolhar that visited a lot. Though, father mostly talked with his friends in private.
Some friend came to inform something to my father and he started crying. Mother consoled him.
"Kids, I have bad news to tell you. I was informed that your great-grandmother Dellone died. Your grandmother died a few hours later. Both from old age."My father Karna said.
I began to feel sad, but I couldn't cry. My younger brother cried, he was twelve and a year younger than me.
My youngest sister, which was only seven, and my four youngest brothers, which oldest was only six years old, were too young to understand the weight of these words. My three younger sisters cried a bit. Mother was pregnant and I hope she can sort out her emotions.
"I and your mother have a small secret to reveal to you all. We plan of telling you when you grow older, but as we are going to visit my family, We will tell you now. I am the ruler prince of Anga." father said.
"Why are you making a joke like that, at this time?!"I shouted.
"I am serious" father said.
"Oh... Are you fine?" I said putting my hand on his forehead checking for a fever, as I thought he may be hallucinating. There was no way my cute, strong, and sometimes clumsy father was that fierce warrior everyone talks about like a god on earth.
"Your father is telling the truth." mother said.
At this time, I was already beginning to believe, they both had a problem.
A while later, father's friend Jolhar came with a group of guards.
"Your highness, the preparations are made."Jolhar said bowing to father.
"Thank you." father said.
So we were escorted to the city lords manor. Father carried my youngest sister on his shoulders while waking, while mother carried my youngest brother in her arms.
"Why did you lied to us?" I confronted, when we reached there, mother.
"We never lied to you, honey. Your father really worked as a stevedore on the pier, as there has been a serious lack of personnel in this line of work. He never said he wasn't a prince as well" mother said.
"Why did you hide it from us?" I asked.
Father got closer and end up accidentally overhearing our conversation so he answered:
"Don't talk to your younger brothers and sisters about this. All of you are different from normal people, you are much stronger.
I don't want you to grow arrogant thinking that you are superior to other people because you are stronger and royalty. I wanted to teach in my own clumsy way how to be human. Not make you disconnect from your own people. Especially, you that is my heir."
"I really enjoyed my childhood. I made friends and played around carefree. I, may not understand the deep of your words, but I thank you both for having me now my people and for the liveness of the city. Without it, I think I would have been much different." I said.
"Oh, they grow so fast." Karna said hugging me. Mother excitedly joined us in our hug. Father stroked my hair.
"My little princess." father said.
"OUR little princess. Dellone is as cute as away. My dear child, if you have any doubt about something we say or do, you can come to us and talk. You don't need to measure your words with us. We love you, little princess" mother said, affectionally with her hand under my jaw.
"Mother, please hold back." I said. She is doing that face she does every time she is going to squeeze my or my siblings' cheeks.
"But you are so cute." mother said.
"Mom..." I said.
"Indeed, she is." father said.
We passed a small time at the city manor and then traveled by boat to the other side of the river where the flower of the Rhoyne, Sar Mell stood. Reaching there, we salute and have our condolences to our family. Later, we took our place in the family seats.
Cousin's great-grandfather, Joss, was performing the funeral ritual of our great-grandmother and great-grandfather. Great-grandmother was wearing a beautiful purple dress with purple diamond earrings, Grandmother Kunti said it was her favorite dress. Great-grandfather was wearing red clothes, that matched great-grandmother's cloth perfectly. All the city, in different degrees, mourned with us.
It was sad, but the next morning, the sun still rose.
