Love You To Death

Chapter 32

The coffin's owner was no longer there. It's as if nobody died in the first place.

The sun has finally risen.

Another day has arrived.

Yesterday, before Owen and Catherina's disappearance...

Carla fainted after much denial.

Her family struggled emotionally but they needed to process her funeral quickly as per the empire's tradition.

Carla was resting in the mansion and only Callahan and the Duke took care of the funeral.

Callahan and his father knew that the moment Carla wakes up, everything would be too much for her. That's why they currently left her to rest for now.

They moved Catherina's body in the temple and in that same day in the afternoon, countless of nobles visited her funeral.

The news of her death was already heard throughout the empire.

"I heard it's an unknown illness."

"Oh dear, she's gone too early."

"She's still young."

"Our deepest condolence, Duke Dwight."

"Rest in peace lady Dwight."

Nobles expressed their condolences towards the Dwight family.

Dorothea, who deemed Catherina as sister since a child, couldn't believe that she was already dead.

"AAHHH RINA- MY SISTER-!"

Out of all the nobles who visited the funeral, she was the first one to hug her coffin and cry aloud.

"Dorothea, please calm down." Crown Prince Stephen pulled Dorothea.

"Rina, I still have many things to tell you! Why did you-!"

Dorothea couldn't take it and fainted on Stephen's arms.

After receiving Catherina's courage on the last day they talked, Dorothea confessed to the prince and fortunate enough, the two of them were finally together.

She wanted to talk to her but Catherina shut herself inside the mansion without telling anything.

Stephen on the other hand also found it unbelievable.

To think that his next meeting of his friend's sister would be in a funeral.

"Callahan." Stephen approached him.

"Ah, you're here. I greet his highness." Callahan bowed.

"I'm glad you made it to my sister's... funeral." He added.

Stephen observed Callahan and he wasn't looking well.

"My deepest condolence to you, Callahan." Stephen uttered.

"Thank you, your highness."

Both the Duke and Callahan weren't looking well at all. Catherina's death has taken such large impact on them.

"I'm not seeing the empress and emperor." Callahan muttered.

"The emperor is sick. And I'm afraid her majesty won't be here. She was too shocked when she heard the news earlier. You know how she treats Rina."

"I see. I hope they feel better soon." Callahan's voice barely had life in it.

After all, he still couldn't forget the scene he saw earlier after bringing the medicine. He hoped that his sister would actually get better after he brought it.
