Kuldar didn't shed a single tear. Though it was the least desired outcome, it was still one of the outcomes that Kuldar had anticipated.
So, Kuldar would save those potential tears for another moment, a time when he could weep and cry all by himself.
"Fulkar, bring me his corpse."
"Of course, Father," Fulkar sighed. He stored his weapons and lifted his brother's husk, carefully carrying the body so it would receive no further harm. "Here."
Kuldar removed Walder's rings and handed one to Fulkar. It bore the family crest while also doubling as a void accessory. "Fulkar Libarn, you are henceforth heir to the Libarn line and will inherit the family businesses along with all responsibilities placed upon the family. The day you become a perennial cultivator and stabilize your essence, you will become the Libarn Patriarch."
Dropping to one knee, Fulkar bowed. "Thank you, Father! And… I'm sorry this is how it ended."
