Talia walked through the rows of the graves of Lockhart family members. At the end was Cyrus' grave, adjacent to his mother's grave. Talia pulled a rose from the bouquet and placed it in Cyrus' mother's grave. She was a very close friend of her mother.
"I'm sorry, aunty Clara." She observed a moment of silence in front of her grave.
Next, she stood in front of that well-maintained grave. For her the headstone seemed new and she thought it was made only recently. If so what did the previous tombstone said?
The granite headstone had a smiling picture of Cyrus engraved in it. Below it was his birthday and the day he died. To the side a sword with two roses by the hilt – One a red rose and another a Juliet Rose, was engraved.
Below that was an epitaph. Reading that epitaph, she felt her heart clench.
He wore no shiny armour,
He belonged to no Royal Order,
All he had was a heart so true,
For the Princess he found so pure.
