The ritual for the king's burial was to be followed strictly. This was the first time a king was dying without a son. He had even trained his daughter to become his successor. Many people where not happy about this but they also did not dare make a fuss.
"Do you think she would be strike due by the gods if she dares to perform the ritual?" One lord asked a General. It's was believed that the punishment of the gods was to kill who ever committed an abomination.
To many of them, it was only a son that should send a father on his last journey.
"NO," The General shook his head. He had fought closely with king Lorenzo, he knew how much the man loved his daughter. If there was a chance that something would happen to her, he would never allow her take this step.
