Sophie was getting ready to attend Melisandre's funeral that was being held in a small private garden in the Palace, petra was devastated to hear the news of herbest friend's death, her most closet friend. She saw her as her own sister by blood.
She spent all of her days locked up in her chambers crying all day and night. She had began to loose control of her ice powers, she was training with her mother about her ice powers a few days ago but couldn't control them with strong emotions. Her room would be full of ice and it looked like there was an ice storm in her bedroom, she would sit in a corner or on the bed, knees to her chest and her face barried inside her arms and she would cry herself to sleep.
Petra had blamed sophie for Melisandre's death and she started to hate sophie and did not belive a word from sophie.
Sophie finished getting ready and she looked herself in the mirror, she was wearing a simple black silk dress with no detailing and the dress had long French sleeves and her collarbones were visible and they had some bruises on them and some bandages, she also had a bruise up her left eyebrow and a cut by the blade on her right cheek and a bruise on her lower right eye. Her wounds were slowly beginning to heal including the stab wound with the master's meditation. But it still hurt when sophie was running or changing the bandage.
Sophie took a deep breath trying to calm herself down and did her hair in braids and wore a black dead band and it had small red diamonds on the band. Sophie then walked out of her bedroom and went to the garden where the funeral was held, she walked through the halls seeing maids, her chin was up and she was looking forward, the maids looked at Sophie as they bowed and greeted her and wished her safe recovery and Sophie ignored them and kept walking.
Sophie walked in the garden seeing a few people chatting and there was her parents who were talking with Mary, Melisandre's teacher. All the few people were wearing black silk dresses, mary wiped her tears with a tissue her eyes were red it looked like she was crying for a very long time, indeed she missed Melisandre her beloved student but what she didn't know is her student was trying to kill the princess in cold blood and nearly succeeded and also didn't know the sinister plan she was planning with that woman... Sigyn. Sophie tried getting more information about that mysterious woman because her parents seemed to know who she is but didn't want to talk about her... Well see soon, very soon.
There was an open casket infront of the garden and the casket was surrounded by roses, Melisandre's favourite. There she was, laying ever so peaceful and so calm. Melisandre had her hands resting on her stomach as all of her bruises on her face were covered with make up but her face was still slightly swollen from the punches, her hair was gently placed kn her shoulders and on the rest pillow her white skin was ever so pale and so white, her cheeks were slightly blue and her lips were slightly blue and purple as she had purple colour under her eyelids.
Sophie looked at Melisandre's lifeless body and she let out a sigh placing her hand on her wound, the people noticed sophie walking in the garden and they all became quite and they watched sophie's every move. Sophie noticed the people starring at her and she became nervous once again and felt like throwing up.
Flora sees her daughter. "Please excuse me lady mary.." said flora as she walked towards Sophie, she looked at flora as flora held her daughter's hand and walked her over to a bench. The people believed that sophie killed Melisandre because of hatred and jealousy and Melisandre was always so close to petra and they saw sophie being ignored by petra with thier own eyes and that is the reason Melisandre was killed and the people knew there would be no consequences for sophie's actions because after all sophie was a princess, the king's daughter and she could get away with anything, even with murder. But the people did not dare to utter a word.
