When Richard got back to the palace, it was already morning.
Usually, most royal funerals involved many people but queen Avena's was different. The attendance involved close family members and a few friends.
When he got to the main hall, everyone had settled down and upon his arrival, the people present got up and bowed to the king to offer their respects.
At first, his eyes moved to Lilith who was standing next to lady Amara and then he turned to look at queen Avena's children, Agatha and George.
With a wave of his hand, everyone took their own seats to which the priest was given the chance to lead the ceremony.
Once the ceremony ended, the body of the former queen was laid to rest in the royal cemetery and with everyone gone, her two children lingered there.
Agatha sat right in front of the tomb stone that had her mother's name engraved on it.
