Melody's death caused a huge sensation in Harken.
It was officially announced that she had died unexpectedly.
What was the accident? The Sanders did not announce it. They refused to announce the true cause of Melody's death on the grounds that they were "extremely sad and unwilling to talk about it".
Internally…
No one dared to discuss it.
Hence, Melody's accidental death was shrouded in mystery in Harken. Those who knew the truth did not dare to say it. Those who did not know the truth would never know it.
When Jeanne saw the news of Melody's death, it was two days after the incident.
She was still at the Swans' Bamboo Garden, on Fourth Master Swan's bed.
She sat at the head of the bed and watched the gray news.
Usually, when an important figure of Harken passed away, the news would be in gray.
At least, Melody's birth gave her this "honor" in the end!
Jeanne was a little silent.
