The Eternal Debauchery's

funerals

Bryan's funeral took place nearly ten days after we left the wolf forest.

Under normal circumstances, a prince's funeral would happen much sooner. However, the death of Prince Bryan was not immediately confirmed. In fact, the empress refused to accept that she was dead.

It is not even certain if there will be a funeral.

After all, the prince's body was never found. There was a possibility of him being captured and taken to the daemon kingdom, or perhaps he was still in the forest.

Thus, the empress organized several search teams and sent spies to the daemon kingdom in hopes of obtaining information about her son. Unfortunately, he got nothing.

In addition, the envoy he sent to the daemon kingdom returned and told him that the daemon did not take prisoners during the wolf forest operation. In fact, no daemons were sent to the returning forest. Maybe they were all dead, or maybe they were hiding until the situation calmed down.

As a last resort, the empress paid a heavy price to beg the Goddess of Order to know if her son was still alive.

And the result is unfortunate.

The prince is dead. That's the answer the Queen got.

After hearing that, all the empress' hopes were dashed.

The Empress fell ill, not leaving her bed for two consecutive days. Meanwhile, the emperor finally ordered to begin funeral preparations.

And as a prince, I was forced to attend the funeral even though I didn't want to.

I mean, I'm sure this cemetery will be filled with hypocrites crying and praising my trashy brother and saying that he's talented, a good person, has a good future, has a good future, and he shouldn't have died.

Yes, everyone is a good person in a coffin.

Interestingly, according to the information I got from the Red Skull Gang, many commoners thanked the goddess for bringing vengeance to the evil prince.

In fact, I was sure that if not for fear of being executed by an angry empress, many commoners would have organized a festival to celebrate the death of my brother.

The funeral begins in the morning. A group of imperial guards carried the coffins from the imperial palace to the headquarters of the Church of Order, followed by a procession dressed in black.

The first person after the coffin was the emperor. He wore a long black robe and had an incomprehensible expression on his face. It is impossible to know what he is thinking.

Behind her, empress Lilia cried sadly. He was detained and assisted by Hope and Lotus, Lilia's two personal servants. What's more, Lena and Alan walk beside her, holding Lilia's hand and crying bitterly (Alan might just pretend).

Me and Dina were walking right behind them. Dina's expression was indifferent, with no trace of pain, but she held my hand firmly. In the eyes of those around us, she did that to gain emotional support.

Of course, I know it's wrong. Actually, Dina just took advantage of this opportunity to hold my hand in public. In fact, I could feel him doing his best to suppress his desire to smile.

Well, I'm not much better. In fact, after a while, I hugged Dina's shoulder and pressed her body against mine. Dina trembled before looking at me with a reproachful look, but she remained that way the whole way.

Other than the imperial family, others in the procession were Iris (the betrothed of Bryan), Daisy, Louise, Earl Riea, Principal Evelyn, and more. The number of people attending the funeral easily surpassed a thousand.

Well, no matter how disappointing a prince was, he was still a prince. The funeral should be pretty grand.

After nearly two hours, the funeral procession finally reached the main cathedral of the Goddess of Order. We were received by several cardinals and Saints directly. After that, the coffin was placed under the altar to wait for the start of the ceremony.

By the way, Saintess Safelia was the one in charge of the ceremony. As a saint, he was one of the few people qualified to do so.

The ceremony was programmed to begin two hours later, at noon. I was tired of sitting in front of the empty coffin, so after accompanying Dina for five minutes, I paid my respects and stood up.

Then, I went around trying to find something to do.

But in the middle of it, I met Clara's eyes.

My fiance smiled at me and left. I understood his cue and followed him.

Less than five minutes later, we both arrived in an empty room.

When Clara was sure there was no one nearby, she rushed towards me.

“Clause..!”

I hugged her alluring body gently and kissed her blonde hair while Clara put her head on my chest.

"Sorry for bringing you to this place" murmured Clara softly. “But you know because of my position, I can't hug you like this in public..

I looked at Clara with an amused expression and chuckled. "Have you received the news?"

"… Yeah." Clara nodded with a shy smile. “Saudi Safelia told me yesterday that the church will make an exception and allow me to continue our engagement ..”

So that's why he called me here, huh.

I wonder why Clara took the initiative to do something so risky like run away from the funeral with me, but it seems like it was because she was unable to hold back her happiness and needed to share it with me.

"Claus, what can you do like that?" He asked me with a timid look.

I chuckled and kissed her soft lips. “Well, you know your husband is amazing. As for the specifics, it's a secret. ”

Clara pouted, but perhaps because she was too happy after hearing the news, she did not insist.

Instead, he hooked his fingers with mine and smiled happily.

"Thank you…"

I smiled and kissed her soft lips again.

Only after we finished kissing did Clara remember about the funeral.

"By the way, Claus, I'm so sorry about your brother's death."

I laugh. “You don't need. I think you're clear about my relationship with that part of my family.”

Clara smiled wryly. "Please, at least show some respect for the dead."

"Oh?" I curled my lips up and wrapped my hands around Clara's waist. "How dare you criticize your husband when you date me in the middle of his funeral?"

Clara blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head.

In front of such a cute gesture, I was unable to resist my impulse and stole her lips ferociously.

But as my hands were about to start exploring my sweet fiancee's body, the door of the room slammed open.

Then, an angry Saint appeared in front of us.

"What do you think you're doing !?"
