After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled and licked by the Duke

Chapter 257 Cracks (seeking tickets)
There is a magnificent hall in Perkinmlin Palace.

There are a total of 25 Zhen Guozhu in the hall.

Without exception, they are all made of metal, or gold, or silver...

When Li Aili followed the empress to the main hall, there was a broken bronze pillar lying on the ground.

Li Aili was standing behind the empress, and she saw that the empress' figure was trembling slightly.

"Go..." The empress's voice was a little hoarse.

"Have you informed César's family?"

Catherine said: "Someone has been sent to report the funeral."

The empress took a deep breath, "Bring Princess César and her children to Perkinmlin Palace..."

The empress walked to the collapsed and broken Zhen Guozhu, and slowly, slowly squatted down.

Pat, a crystal teardrop fell on the shattered ancient bronze pillar.

"Albert," her voice choked up, "write to your sister Aniana and ask her to come back from the Holy Sector of Light to attend her uncle's funeral."

Albert's voice couldn't be softer, "Yes, mother."

He patted Arthur on the shoulder lightly, then turned and left.

He is the eldest son, the crowned prince who is now in charge of the country, the prince died in battle, and countless things are waiting for him to deal with.

Li Aili looked away from behind the faraway prince.

Arthur walked to his mother's side and knelt down on one knee, raising his hand to gently follow the empress's back.

The emotional breakdown is only for a moment.

The empress hugged her youngest son, and the cry echoed in the hall, "I don't want you to go to the battlefield, I don't want..."

Arthur just pursed his lips, a tear slipped down.

He patted his mother on the back clumsily.

Let mother's tears wet the blood-red ribbon that symbolizes lofty status.

"I am here, mother, I will always be by your side, safe and sound."

Li Aili looked at Arthur in a daze.

Albert shouldered everything, so he lost the right to mourn the death of his relatives, the right to accompany his mother, and even the right to cry.

18-year-old Arthur has these, only because someone stood in front of him.

Li Aili's eyes were a little red.

If she first met the current Arthur, maybe there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings between them.

However, no if.

When they first met, he was already invincible.

……

When Prince Cesare's wife and only son arrived at Perkinmlin Palace, it was raining lightly in the main city of the Holy Dragon.

A cloud that cannot be dispelled hangs over the castle.

All changed into heavy black dresses.

Li Aili stood in front of the bedroom window, watching the black carriages parked downstairs.

Distinguished guests, dressed in black mourning, came to the prince's funeral.

Knock, knock, knock at the door.

"Come in, Conrad."

Li Aili looked down the window, but she was thinking in her heart, the Era of the Holy Dragon that was blank in the epic.

Conrad walked in, "Miss Li Allie, the equipment you customized is ready."

"According to your instructions, I placed it in the newly built wooden house in the forest behind the castle."

Ali Li thanked, "Okay, thank you Conrad."

As soon as the words fell, there was a mess of horseshoes outside the window.

Li Aili looked downstairs.

Two teams of knights escorted a pure white carriage, which stopped on the green lawn of the vestibule under the window.

The Church of Light has loved white for thousands of years.

The door of the carriage opened, and a girl in a pure white nun uniform stepped out of the carriage.

She is tall, with long black hair, beautiful appearance, and graceful figure, and every step she moves reveals the good upbringing of aristocrats.

"This is Princess Aniana, the younger sister of His Highness Albert and His Highness Arthur."

Connard on one side introduced Li Aili.

Ellie Li remembered what Aniana looked like.

As soon as I saw it, I realized that this was the mysterious lady who appeared at the canonization ceremony.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would be Arthur's sister.

Anayana hurried into the castle.

"His Royal Highness Cesare's body will be escorted back to China this evening."

"There will be a funeral tomorrow."

Conrad talked mechanically about the process.

Ailee Li noticed something was wrong and observed Conrad carefully.

The old butler's eyes were red.

It was only then that Li Aili realized that the sacrificed Prince Cesare might have been raised by the old housekeeper.

Li Aili opened her mouth, and until finally Connard left, she couldn't think of any words to make the gray-haired butler feel better.

At night, Catherine came to the door of Li Elli's room and knocked lightly on the door.

Li Aili opened the door and saw Arthur in black at the door.

"Can you accompany me to Dragon Pagoda and pick up Uncle César?" Arthur asked.

He lowered his eyes slightly, with deep sadness in his eyes.

Li Aili agreed softly: "Okay, I'll get a hat."

At noon, Catherine brought over the black skirt and hat.

Li Aili put on a long black dress representing mourning at that time.

Back in the house she took the black hat with the veil off the coat rack.

Put on your hat and adjust your black mesh veil in front of the mirror.

After walking out of the room, she said to Arthur, "Arthur, let's go."

Arthur held out his hand gentlemanly.

Li Aili put her hand on it, just like when they were together 1000 years later.

Arthur took her hand slowly and tightly.

The two had nothing to say all the way, and walked to the Dragon Tower hand in hand.

……

When they reached the top floor of the Dragon Pagoda, there were already many people standing here silently.

Albert turned to see them and waved to them.

Li Ellie and Arthur stood beside Albert.

Albert turned his head slightly, "Afterwards, tell me about Aniana."

"It's somewhat out of place on this occasion."

The empress, whose face was covered by a black veil, stood at the front of the crowd.

One step behind the empress, on the left, stood Princess Aniana in a white nun dress.

That white monastic robe is very beautiful.

The gold silk embroidery on the corners is a craft that only the sun and moon elves have.

Arthur looked at Aniana's white monastic robe, his eyes darkened and he nodded.

What made Li Aili a little concerned was the pair of mother and son standing on the other side of the empress.

Mother has been crying silently, wiping the corners of her eyes from time to time.

Her son tightly hugged his mother's waist, trying to support his mother with his thin body.

The rain has stopped.

But the night sky was still cloudy, with not a single star in sight.

The Zhen Guozhu of the empire collapsed, and it seemed that the dragon gods were crying for the lost heroes.

Under the night, a group of dragon knights escorted the coffin and flew to the dragon tower.

Several giant dragons landed on the dragon tower one after another.

Prince Alex and Prince William carried the coffin down.

On the pitch-black coffin, covered with a blue holy dragon banner.

The Empress walked towards them, just about to speak.

I saw that the only son of Prince Cesare jumped over like a small firecracker.

Like a vicious wolf cub, he bit the back of Alex's hand fiercely.

Albert reacted quickly, grabbing the child by the collar almost instantly, pulling him back.

Prince Cesare's only son glared at Prince Alex with hatred.

"It's you, papa quarreled with you before he left, and he died!"

The empress took a deep breath, "Achille!"

The empress looked at the princess behind her.

The princess just stared at the coffin in a daze, her eyes absent-minded.

The person she loves lies inside, separated from life and death.

She turned a blind eye to the noise outside.

She stepped forward, but didn't take her child back.

"Can you open the coffin, I want...to see him again."

Alex's lips trembled and he shook his head slightly.

The princess looked down at the coffin, "But... I am his wife..."

"How can you prevent a wife from seeing her husband for the last time..." the princess muttered.

Prince William winked at the Empress.

The Empress grabbed Princess Bernadez, "Bernadez, go to the Hall of Valor first, and I will let you meet there."

When the queen took the princess away, Li Aili only heard the two princes order in a low voice: "The body must be cremated, and Bernadette must not see it."
