"If I might interject," Qiu Jianhong of the elders spoke out loud.
Everyone's eyes turned toward him with a curious look on their faces.
"Elder Qiu," Alex said. "Do you have something to say?"
"Yes," Qiu Jianhong said before turning toward Hannah. "I congratulate the young lady Hannah for having completely healed, but I must let you know that you cannot have your marriage right now."
"What do you mean?" Alex asked.
"Your Majesty," the old man turned back toward Alex. "Before we think of marriage or any other thing, we need to prepare for a funeral."
"A funeral?" Alex asked with surprise before understanding. "Right… Yao Ning's funeral. I thought you guys did it already."
