The Sage of Einar

In the imperial hospital, Einar took one last look at his wife's face. She was smiling like she was free of any concern.

It seemed as if she was sleeping. This made Einar cry silently, as Kassia looked as beautiful as the first time he looked at her.

Despite that, he could do nothing to save her. He had lost someone important to him again. Fate had stolen his wife again.

The difference was that this time the culprit could be punished; it was not a damn disease; it was someone who existed in the flesh.

The culprit had been Emperor Ludovico and his desire to try to kill Kassia, worst of all, Einar won the battle but not the war.

Ludovico got his mission. In the end, he killed Kassia with his stupid attack and that's why Einar had to watch his wife sleeping forever in a coffin.

When Aila said the last words of the bible, she approached Kassia and placed two gold coins over her eyes.

Later, she placed a gold crucifix on her chest. Although she was not a believer, she once commented to Einar that if she died, she would like to be buried as the nobility of the future.

Einar, respecting his wife's comment, did everything he could to be able to fulfill her wish.

After those things were placed, as well as oil, on his skin, the coffin was closed and Einar, along with Sven, Peder and Felipa carried the coffin on their shoulders.

The four of them got into the elevator silently and when they got out, they started walking towards the outside of the imperial palace.

Where the rain did not seem to stop, they all advanced towards the construction area of ​​the imperial palace, because in that place there was a beautiful place that Kassia always liked.

As they progressed, Einar remembered when he had to do the same to his wife Margaret after her cancer killed her.

The difference is that the coffin of a person with cancer is different because it is always sealed by the aromas that it gives off.

When they reached the place, Einar helped lower it over the 20-foot hole that had been made.

After this, Einar looked sad for the last time as Kassia's coffin was buried in that place.

Sven and Peder were in charge of burying the coffin where Kassia rested. Little by little, the earth covered her coffin until it was completely covered.

Later a group of slaves carried a heavy cement plate which was placed in the place where Kassia had been buried.

A beautiful stone cross was also placed that had been made in just one day and on which it said the name of Kassia of Thrace.

After this, only Einar and Felipa stayed near the grave while crying in silence.

"I am very sorry father, I did everything I could but she would not stop bleeding. Things got out of control.

But I was able to keep her alive as long as I could with the blood transitions ... "

Einar shook his head as he wiped Felipa's face. "You did what you could, but we are only humans fighting death.

Perhaps I would not have saved her either, but in that case I would blame myself every day, but this time the culprit is only one.

Emperor Ludovico, that idiot did all the bad things he could have done in order to end Kassia's life and he succeeded.

But I can promise you that I will avenge his death and punish the church of Rome and the Emperor Ludovico.

I will march through Europe, city by city, until I kill Ludovico, then I will go to Rome and put an end to the supreme pontiff's rule once and for all.

I won the battle, but I lost the war, however I am a sore loser and I want revenge.

I will see that they remember Kassia for all eternity, as the woman they killed and for whom they lost their privileges.

That is a promise, Felipa, as your father will do. I will avenge your mother, your brothers, and you for having taken the joy from their faces.

Now I think we should enter the imperial palace. Being in this environment will hurt us a lot. Remember to take a bath when you enter.

Well, you can catch a cold. "

Felipa who was barely holding back her tears walked towards Einar and hugged him while crying with all her strength in his chest.

Einar stroked her hair. "Your mother left me the job of taking care of you and your siblings, so I can promise you that I will take care of you at all times.

As long as I can breathe I will take care of you, for you are my family and it is my duty as Kassia's husband.

Death separated us, however she will live in our hearts, all the conquests she makes will be in her name.

Europe is going to know the fury of a father and husband angry because they robbed his wife. "

Einar lowered his head and kissed Felipa on the forehead before closing his eyes and crying with her because he also wanted to get rid of her pain.

After this, the two spent some time crying before they let Kassia rest in her eternal resting place.

At night, Einar sat on a chair and looked fondly at his two children. "Mikael, Katherine, I want you to know that even though your mother left us.

My duty to you is to take care of them until you are adults, but that does not mean that you are alone. You will have the support of your two mothers.

I know it may not be the same, but you must know that Helmi and Laisa are also their mothers, so I hope they can be strong. "

Katherine looked at her father curiously and used her small hand to grab her father's nose as she laughed, showing her toothless smile.

Einar let some tears fall on the faces of his two sons. "I will avenge your mother. I will bring Emperor Ludovico to the island and I will make him kneel and ask for forgiveness at his grave and for you.

It does not matter if it is the high pontiff or an emperor. Whoever hurts my family will be punished, regardless of origin.

That is what it means to be a parent of children. I don't expect you to remember it, but know that you have to have the strength to get ahead under any adversity. "

Katherine looked curiously at her dad and, using her small hand she caressed his cheek to wipe the tears from her face.

"You are just like your sister, Erika. The two of you behave the same way."

Katherine made some baby noises and snuggled into her father's hand so she could sleep.
