Chapter 143

• The funeral was the very next day. It was not often that a vampire King dies, so the event was extremely theatrical and massive. The streets of the kingdom were crowded with people who respected him and on several occasions feared him. Even the kings from the other regions came to give their regards.
• The ceremony was scheduled at night. People held up candles as a path was made for the royal family to descend and make their way through the city. The four brothers were the head of the line carrying the casket.
• It was only a two-mile walk to the grave site, yet it felt like an eternity was weighing them down. The casket was placed inside a large stone chamber tomb, beautifully crafted with marble.
