An Ning's whole family was out on this day. Not only he and Christina were present, but his father-in-law's entire family was also present.
Christina wore an all-black dress and a black veil. As soon as An Ning saw it, she couldn't help but joke: "Is this what you plan to wear after I die in the battle?"
Christina's eyes widened and she was stunned for a moment before she cursed angrily: "Don't say such things! I know you despise the God of Death, but you can't commit suicide in front of Him like this!"
An Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that I was just joking carelessly, why do I despise the God of Death?
While he was complaining in his heart, Fanny was also complaining: "I always thought that the master might be an atheist, which is terrible."
In this day and age, being an atheist is, in the eyes of most people, the same thing as being a believer in Satan.
It is one thing that France is a filial son of God, but it is a Catholic country after all.
An Ning was about to say something, saying that she was just joking and was just having fun, when she saw Beethoven and David entering the main entrance of the Palace of Versailles together.
David brought a large piece of canvas with him, and it seemed that he had finished the Death of Marat painting that An Ning had previously ordered him to create.
To be honest, this speed is a bit unexpected, after all, it has only been a few days.
With a smile on his face, Beethoven first greeted An Ning: "Sir, I have written the music you want, and I can play it for you now."
An Ning nodded, and then deliberately said in a louder voice: "Okay, there is still some time before departure, let's listen together!"
So Beethoven took out a silver flute, put it to his mouth and started playing.
An Ning was initially worried that he would pull out the farewell song from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 two hundred years in advance, but it turned out that he was overly worried.
What Beethoven played was actually the flute version of the Italian song "Goodbye Friend".
When she was in Italy, An Ning mentioned this matter to Beethoven. Unexpectedly, Beethoven actually understood and collected Italian national music.
I have to say that this song is most appropriate to send off our revolutionary comrades.
Beethoven played the main melody again, stopped and looked at An Ning eagerly, obviously waiting for An Ning's comment.
An Ning said with emotion: "Very good, this song is perfect to send off like-minded comrades."
In fact, it would be more in line with Mala's character to sing "Song of Unity of the People" in front of his grave. After all, the most famous line of that song is "A united people will never be defeated."
”, which is a suitable way to commemorate this “Friend of the People”.
It's a pity that An Ning only has one impression of this famous song, because John Khan Jr. introduced this song in Allende's two issues.
After Beethoven received An Ning's affirmation, he took a step aside with great satisfaction and handed the stage to David who came with him.
David took the painting one step forward, placed the painting on the ground, and then lifted off the cloth covering it.
The famous painting The Death of Marat appeared before An Ning's eyes.
But it's a little different from An Ning's memory.
An Ning remembers the death of Marat in the original world. Marat was lying peacefully in the bathtub, holding the list of Girondists provided to him by Corday.
The general composition of the painting David showed was similar to An Ning's memory, but the content of the letter in Mara's hand had changed.
The letter in Marat's hand began with a big "Dear Frost".
An Ning: "Well, why does the letter in Mara's hand have my name at the beginning?"
"Because it is a letter to you." David replied, "I have learned from the Paris authorities that the letter he was writing to you when he died has only one beginning."
An Ning's mouth opened in an O shape, what the hell does this have to do with me... No, maybe this time and space Mala really died while writing a letter to herself...
After all, An Ning didn't know the actual situation at the scene. All he knew was that the female traitor lied about reporting on the hidden Girondins in order to get close to Marat.
He never thought that this matter would be related to him even though he was fighting outside.
Maybe he, Andy Frost, has become a name that can never be bypassed by the French Revolution and will appear on every page of the history of the Revolution.
An Ning: "Well, I'm very satisfied with this painting. Very satisfied! You painted Mara like a saint, and his ugly face... Oh my God, I can hardly remember how beautiful his face is. It’s ugly.”
Christina: "Andy! I know this is because you are very good friends, so you often joke about his appearance, but it is inappropriate to say this now. If outsiders hear it, it will cause a lot of trouble."
An Ning: "Okay, you're right to remind me. I should be careful about my words and deeds."
David asked cautiously from the side: "Should I make his face look uglier?"
"Oh no, don't, that's fine. Maximilian will be happy when he sees this painting, and it might reduce some of his paranoia." Thinking of Robespierre, An Ning could only sigh.
Perhaps the great revolution needs a big devil, who needs to use thunderous means to eradicate the reactionaries and completely wipe out the opposing forces.
An Ning: "Okay, bring the painting and let's go to Revolution Square together."
Christina: "We still have room in the carriage, so Ludwig and Jacques can come too."
Beethoven and David shook their heads together: "No, no, no, no, we can just follow on horseback."
Christina: "Okay, let's set off. By the way, considering that there may be a ceremony going on later and no time to eat, I have prepared biscuits. You can eat some on the way."
Beethoven: "Then I would rather be respectful than obey."
Christina smiled, turned to An Ning and said, "Then let's set off."
As he said that, he suddenly discovered that the position of the tricolor emblem on An Ning's military cap was crooked, so he adjusted the position.
Beethoven and David quickly checked the position of their tricolor emblems.
An Ning enjoyed the thoughtfulness and tenderness of his fiancée, with a smile on his face.
Christina: "Seriously, we are attending a funeral."
An Ning immediately grimaced.
**
After An Ning's motorcade entered the city of Paris, they immediately encountered a crowd of people who also came out to pay homage to Marat.
There are also vendors on the roadside selling black cloth and white flowers, and many people buy them in front of the stalls.
An Ning looked at the scene outside and said to Christina: "Mara is still very popular. As his friend, I am somewhat happy."
Revolution Square, where the funeral was held, was already crowded with people.
After the ceremony, Marat's coffin will set off from here to the Pantheon.
But what surprised An Ning was that in addition to the usual configuration, there was also a guillotine at the venue.
He looked at the guillotine and whispered: "What's going on? Why don't you dismantle those things temporarily?"
Christina lay on An Ning and looked out from the same window: "Maybe it's not enough? After all, the guillotine executes people every day."
An Ning shook his head. At this time, he discovered that there was a military band next to the guillotine. This was a common arrangement during executions: when a person was tied to the guillotine, there would be a military band playing drums.
It's a bit like a circus that uses intensive drum beats to set off the atmosphere before performing thrilling moves.
An Ning vaguely felt that today's farewell ceremony for Mara would be particularly bloody.
