Chapter 353 (1/2)

In the early spring of 963, there were black banners all over the Lorraine plain. All the Lorraine banners in all towns were changed to black to mourn the death of the former patriarch count Raymond.

Count Raymond's funeral is not grand. According to the tradition of the Rowling family, there is a valley behind the Rowling castle. Behind the valley, there is a graveyard, where all the dead patriarchs are buried.

Count Raymond's death brought a bit of haze to the festive atmosphere of Rowling plain, which was originally immersed in the restoration of family glory.

On the day of the funeral, the countess cried faintly, and little Gabriel was crying from beginning to end. However, Du Wei, the eldest son of the Rowling family, was dressed in black and holding the sword left by his father. He remained silent, but did not shed a tear.

The others were a little frightened when they saw the tulip Duke.

Just two days before the funeral, the young Duke ordered to spread red carpet from the castle to the cemetery in the back mountain. He sent hundreds of people to collect tons of petals and spread them all the way. He even mobilized the guard of honor in the army. On the day of the funeral, they lined up on both sides and played the triumphal trumpet of the army where the coffin went.

Everything is not like a funeral at all, but like the triumph of the general.

The old Prime Minister of the imperial capital, Robert Scheer, the chancellor of the exchequer, and even the Earl of villa sent envoys to mourn. Dewey acted as if he were a real family owner. He was very mature and even indifferent to the messengers from all sides.

And then. On the night of the funeral, Dewey locked himself in the study of the castle again. He went in with his father's sword.

In the study, on the wall, where the oil painting is hanging, there is an old count Raymond's oil painting at the end. The Earl of Raymond in the picture is full of military armor and high spirits. Duvet sat quietly in his study all night. No one knew what the young Duke was doing in his study. Until after dawn. Dewey went out of his study to see his mother first.

The death of the count made the countess have some problems. This beautiful mother, in deep pain, didn't think about food and tea. Dewey did his best to serve her mother. This kind woman. It seems to know that she can't add too much burden to her son at the moment, so no matter how sad she is, she tries her best to be calm.

When Dewey went to see his mother in the morning, he immediately called Hill, the old housekeeper. Then a decision was made:
