The funeral of Elizabeth proceeded smoothly. The procession from the mansion throughout the Wels town cemetery was discussed on how grand it was. Considering it was a noble's death, being grand until the end was to be observed and since Count Harriston is the Lord of the Wels town, they should respect his kin.
"Who died?"
"I heard it was the Lady Elizabeth."
"What?! So young."
"What is the cause?"
"I heard she died of sickness. Poor Lady."
"Sickness? They said she was kidnapped and murdered."
"Murdered? My goodness."
"Yes. I even heard the criminals ravish her before killing her. Poor Milady."
"No. That's not true. My friend works at the Count's mansion. She said the Lady wasn't kidnapped. She ran away and was betrayed by her lover, so she killed herself."
"Lover? Lord Lottway?"
