When the news came, Luther was reading a chivalric novel in his study and stood up in shock.
"It's absolutely true, Knight Luther. The Baron plans to hold a funeral for Knight Gandall at the "Vergo Castle" outside the city of Gandall in ten days."
The person who came to report said.
This was a knight from the Barton family. In order to spread the news throughout the territory, the baron sent out a large number of knights to notify the vassals.
"Please report back to the baron, I will definitely participate." Luther solemnly agreed. He also asked the knight who came to report to take a rest in the castle first, but the knight refused, and the knight hurriedly returned to Kaiyue City.
Luther didn't do much to persuade him to stay, so he sent the knight out of the castle.
"Barbara, Gandalf." Luther opened the window and let the cold wind blow in. In Pompeii in the middle of winter, agricultural activities had completely stopped.
However, urban development is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the streets are full of people coming and going.
Luther was not in the mood to appreciate this prosperous scenery, he felt a little heavy.
Babana, Gandall.
Luther didn't have much contact with this first powerful minister, but judging from the attitude shown by Babana, this knight was definitely an upright knight.
Because of Babana and Gandall's treatment of Mousse and Luther, who was present when Gandall died, he did not express his anger.
This is rare.
Ordinary people would not look good on Luther. But Barbara and Gandalf did not.
In addition, my father once said that his relationship with Gandall was not bad.
He can be regarded as Luther's elder.
And this elder actually died.
Luther felt sad just thinking about it. What was even more frightening was that the next generation of Gandall's knights had been murdered first. The Gandall family lost its heir first, and then the current generation of knights died.
It will definitely fall into chaos, and this chaos may sweep the entire Barton Territory.
"I wonder if it will have any impact on the development of Pompeii." Luther looked at the people coming and going outside the window, but his mind was focused on the current situation in Barton Territory.
At this time, Luther desperately hoped that his father would be here. Not to mention anything else, Old Sol's strength as a senior knight and his face worth more than 100,000 gold coins could solve many problems.
On the contrary, Luther was weak in the entire Patton territory, both in terms of connections and strength.
No matter what, I have to endure my father's absence.
Luther took a deep breath, came to see Mrs. Sophie in person, explained the matter to his mother, and asked her mother to prepare for the funeral.
"Oh my god, Lord Barbana." Madam Sophie covered her mouth, with an incredible look in her eyes. Old Sol had a good relationship with Barbana and Gandall, so it was natural for Madam Sophie to meet Barbana.
After many meetings, she was filled with sadness over the death of the upright first vassal.
"I will prepare the trip, Luther." Mrs. Sophie nodded and agreed.
Ten days later, members of the Pompeii family arrived at "Vergo Castle", but the only people from the Pompeii family were Luther, Mrs. Sophie, and a few accompanying knights.
William and Mary were not present.
Luther and Mrs. Sophie both wore black clothes and had extremely serious expressions. In addition to the Pompeii family, there were many other families present.
Including twenty or thirty vassals, as well as wives, heirs, and representatives of many guardian knight families, all dressed in black.
The baron family consists of the baron, the baroness, the eldest daughter Alice, the eldest son Philip, the second son Latin, the third son Lucy, and Barton because they are far away from the Golden City and cannot come.
The baron used his actions to show respect for the late minister.
Vergo Castle is a castle under the name of the Gandall family. It is located in the north of the city of Gandall. There is an open space in the north of the castle.
There is a huge tree growing in this open area. Under the tree is the family cemetery of the Gandall family, where many Gandall knights are buried.
The funeral was a rather traditional aristocratic funeral. With the accompaniment of music, the contemporary Gandall Knights, Barbana and Mr. Gandall's coffins were slowly lowered into the coffin by four knights of the Gandall family.
into the tomb.
The style of the Gandall family was very simple. Knight Gandall did not have any valuable burial objects. What was placed in the coffin was only an ordinary knight's sword.
The funeral was very solemn, and it started to rain lightly.
Mrs. Gandall and her three young daughters cried in the drizzle the whole time.
After the funeral, Luther and Mrs. Sophie came forward to express their condolences to Mrs. Gandall.
After a Prussian-style funeral, the guests will leave. But this requires a period of time. The guests gather together to remember common blood relatives or friends.
Luther walked together with Miss Alice inexplicably, and the two of them walked in the drizzle together. Miss Alice today is also very simple, she has no makeup, and she is bare-faced.
But still stunningly beautiful.
She wore a Prussian-style lady's hat on her head, a black skirt, and a pair of flat shoes.
The broad hat blocked the drizzle, but Luther was soaked in the rain.
"I wonder whose head the knighthood of the Gandall family will fall on." Alice suddenly stopped, glanced at Mrs. Gandall and the three young girls from a distance, and sighed.
.
At this moment, many guests came forward to express condolences to the widow. But how could this make up for the sadness of her husband's death.
What's even more frightening is that their fate will be unknown.
Because Babana, Gandall's heir died first, although women also have the possibility of inheriting, but that is only if the woman is very outstanding.
For example, a woman is a knight, or even a high-ranking knight.
But Babana, Gandall's three daughters, are still so young. Obviously, they cannot inherit the knighthood. The title of knight of Gandall will fall on someone else.
The baron will make proper arrangements for the widow's life because of Babana. But the life of this family will obviously become different.
"If nothing else happens, the knighthood should fall into the hands of that person." Luther looked up and saw a man standing not far from Mrs. Gandall, who had been standing in front of the tombstone of Knight Gandall.
.
He seemed to be immersed in the memory of Knight Gandall.
Because lying in the tombstone is his brother.
His name is Ciccia Gandalf. He has a similar appearance to Babana and Gandalf, but he looks slightly weaker.
He also possesses the strength of a high-level knight and is the strongest member of the Gandall family.
Babana has no heir and his daughter cannot bear the heavy responsibility. Then he will be the next generation of Knight of Gandall.
