"Good bye grandpa."
Aris lead the ceremony of burning the king's body. Amon gave a speech about how Desmond was a father to him. It was bittersweet.
"My father was a positive person. He was in his state of bliss when he was killed."
He didn't want to take the throne, but his brother Hashim was in a deep coma. That meant he had to set aside his grief to put the nation together.
He looked at the people that are now relying on every decision he would make. It's something that he avoided because he saw how it transforms his father. From a vibrant and carefree person into a monster.
Aris scattered Desmond's ashes on the river to the air and buried some in the land. To make him still be part of Novalia.
"We will miss you old man."
Desmond may be a cruel ruler, but he's hands on to his children. Especially to Eunice, whom he loved the most. He was the best grandfather to his grandsons.
