The Extraordinary Earl

"Knight Gandall is actually dead?"

When the news came, Luther was reading a knightly novel in the study and stood up in shock.

"It's absolutely true, Knight Luther. The Baron plans to hold a funeral for Knight Gandall at the "Virgo Castle" outside the city of Gandall in ten days."

said the person who came to report.

This was a knight from the Barton family. In order to spread the news throughout the territory, the baron sent out a large number of knights to notify the vassals.

"Please report back to the Baron and I will definitely participate." Luther solemnly agreed. He also asked the knight who came to report to rest in the castle first, but the knight refused, and the knight hurriedly returned to Kaiyue City.

Luther didn't do much to persuade him to stay, so he sent the knight out of the castle.

"Barbara, Gandalf." Luther opened the window and let the cold wind blow in. In Pompeii in the middle of winter, agricultural activity has completely stopped.

However, urban development is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the streets are full of people coming and going.

Luther was not in the mood to appreciate this prosperous scenery, he felt a little heavy.

Babana, Gandall.

Luther didn't have much contact with this powerful minister, but judging from the attitude shown by Babana, this knight was definitely an upright knight.

Because of Babana and Gandall's treatment of Mousse, Luther, who was present when Gandall died, did not express his anger.

This is rare.

If it were an ordinary person, how could he look down upon Luther? But Barbana, Gandall did not.

In addition, Dad once said that his relationship with Gandall was not bad.

He can be regarded as Luther's elder.

And this elder actually died.

Luther felt sad just thinking about it. What was even more frightening was that the next generation of Gandall's knights had been murdered first. The Gandall family lost its heir first, and then the current generation of knights died.

It will definitely fall into chaos, and this chaos may sweep the entire Barton Territory.

"I wonder if it will have any impact on the development of Pompeii." Luther looked at the people coming and going outside the window, but his mind was on the current situation in Barton Territory.

At this time, Luther desperately hoped that his father would be here. Not to mention anything else, Old Sol's strength as a senior knight and his face worth more than 100,000 gold coins can solve many problems.

On the contrary, Luther was weak in the entire Patton territory, both in terms of connections and strength.

No matter what, I have to endure it without my dad.

Luther took a deep breath, came to see Mrs. Sophie in person, explained the matter to his mother, and asked her mother to prepare for the funeral.

"Oh my god, Lord Babana." Mrs. Sophie covered her mouth, with an incredible look in her eyes. Old Sol had a good relationship with Babana and Gandall. Naturally, Mrs. Sophie had met Babana many times. She was full of sadness for the death of the upright first vassal.

"I will prepare the itinerary, Luther." Mrs. Sophie nodded and agreed.

Ten days later, members of the Pompeii family arrived at "Vergo Castle", but the only people who came from the Pompeii family were Luther, Mrs. Sophie, and a few accompanying knights.

William and Mary were not present.

Both Luther and Mrs. Sophie were wearing black clothes with extremely serious expressions. In addition to the Pompeii family, there were many other families present.

Including twenty or thirty vassals, as well as wives and heirs. Representatives of many guardian knight families were all dressed in black.

The baron family consists of the baron, the baroness, the eldest daughter Alice, the eldest son Philip, the second son Latin, and the third son Lucy. Button is far away from the Golden City and cannot come.

The baron used his actions to show his respect for the late minister.

Vergo Castle is a castle under the name of the Gandall family. It is located in the north of Gandall City. There is an open area in the north of the castle.

There is a huge tree growing in this open area. Under the trees is the family cemetery of the Gandall family, where many Gandall knights are buried.

The funeral was a quite traditional aristocratic funeral. With the accompaniment of music, the coffin of Mr. Barbana, the contemporary Gandall knight, was slowly lowered into the coffin by four knights of the Gandall family. In the tomb.

The style of the Gandall family is very simple. The Gandall knight did not have any valuable burial objects. What was placed in the coffin was only an ordinary knight's sword.

The funeral was very solemn, and it started to rain lightly.

Mrs. Gandall and her three young daughters cried in the drizzle the whole time.

After the funeral, Luther and Mrs. Sophie came forward to express their condolences to Mrs. Gandall.

After the funeral in Prussian style, the guests leave. But this all requires a process. Guests gather together to remember common blood relatives or friends.

Luther walked together with Miss Alice inexplicably, and the two of them walked in the drizzle together. Miss Alice today is also very simple. She has no makeup and is bare-faced.

But still stunningly beautiful.

She wore a Prussian-style lady's hat on her head, a black skirt, and a pair of flat shoes.

The broad hat blocked the drizzle, and Luther was soaked in the rain.

"I wonder whose head the knighthood of the Gandall family will fall on." Alice suddenly stopped, glanced at Mrs. Gandall and the three young girls from a distance, and sighed. .

At this moment, many guests came forward to express condolences to the widow. But how can this make up for the sadness of her husband's death.

What's even more frightening is that their fate will be unknown.

Because Babana, Gandall's heir died first. Although women also have the possibility of inheriting, that is only if the woman is very outstanding.

For example, a woman is a knight, or even a high-ranking knight.

But Babana, the three daughters of Gandal, were still so young. Obviously one cannot inherit the title of knight. The title of Knight of Gandall will fall on someone else.

The baron will make proper arrangements for the widow's life because of Babana. But this family's life will obviously become different.

"If nothing else happens, the knighthood should fall into the hands of that person." Luther looked up and saw a man standing not far from Mrs. Gandall, who had been standing in front of the tombstone of Knight Gandall. .

He seemed to be immersed in the memory of Knight Gandall.

Because lying in the tombstone is his brother.

His name is Sissia, Gandall. He has a similar appearance to Barbana and Gandall, but looks slightly frailer.

He also possesses the strength of a high-ranking knight and is the strongest member of the Gandall family.

Babana has no heir and his daughter cannot bear the heavy responsibility. Then he will be the next generation of Knights of Gandor.
