Black Knight From Blue Star

 In Dora's bedroom, he was lying on the bed with a smile on his face and walking peacefully.

Hardy sighed softly, and then asked Mrs. Anna next to him: "He is dying...Why is this happening? Didn't Queen Sissi give you the petals of the World Tree?"

"Here, I've eaten it." Mrs. Anna thought for a while and said, "Dora also got two slices."

Hadi looked at Dora's old face and said, "It seems he didn't eat."

Mrs. Anna thought for a while, then walked to a nearby desk, opened the drawer inside, took out a silver box, and opened it again.

Two petals of the World Tree lie inside, emitting a faint magical light.

"He is not interested in a life of about twenty years at all." Hardy looked at Dora lying on the bed and looked at the other person's relieved smile. He said helplessly: "He should have saved it and went to the underworld to find Enolin. Lady’s thoughts.”

  To be precise, he has already had the will to die.

 Lady Anna closed the silver box and wiped her tears.

At this time, there were rapid footsteps downstairs, and not long after, Queen Sissi rushed in with a look of panic.

 She saw Dora lying on the bed, ran over, and tightly held Dora's hand outside the quilt.

 Cold and stiff.

Queen Sissi’s vision went dark and she almost fainted, but fortunately Hardy hugged her in time.

　　Afterwards, Queen Sissi buried her face in Hadi's arms and let out a hidden and sad cry.

Victor took his younger brother and nephews to suppress bandits. Now in Jeanna's family, Hardy is the only man who can make the decision.

 He asked the maids to take care of Queen Sissi and Lady Anna, and then began to deal with Dora's death.

 First notify the people in the Temple of Light to collect the body, and then send a notice to the nobles and lords in the city.

 Then purchase the coffin and find a suitable base.

 Send someone to notify Victor and others to come back.

After finishing a series of things, four days have passed.

 At noon on the fifth day, Victor returned with his illegitimate brother and nephews, covered in dust.

Dora’s coffin was parked in the side hall. When Victor came back, he fell to his knees and cried heartbrokenly.

 The illegitimate brother Peter also had red circles in his eyes.

Although he did not have a deep relationship with Victor, Dora had been really good to him and his family since he returned to Jeanne's house, and he also felt fatherly love in her.

Peter's wife Elaine also had red eyes and wiped tears from time to time.

 On the other hand, the children of the two seemed a little at a loss.

 I want to cry, but I can’t pretend to be sad.

“Sir Hardy, was your father’s death an accident?”

Victor cried for a long time and finally stopped. After he stood up, he looked at Hardy and asked.

　　Hardy shook his head: "He passed away peacefully, without any pain. He just wanted to see Ms. Ainoline, you don't have to be too sad."

  “Yes, my father and mother are very loving.”

Victor wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

The funeral was held two days later. It was very grand, and almost all the respectable people in the royal city of Boris came.

 There were many lords who were preparing to leave the royal city. When they heard the news of Dora's death, they stayed here until the funeral was held.

　　It was obviously a funeral, but the weather was very good, the sun was shining brightly, the autumn wind came from the west, and it seemed neither cold nor hot.

There were many people paying their condolences, each with a bouquet of colorful flowers, and almost all of Dora's tombstones were buried.

Sissi temporarily put down her identity as the queen at this time. She wore black clothes and, as a family member, thanked the guests who came to see the deceased off. She would bend down every time someone came over.

Victor also stood nearby, bending down to express his thanks.

Hadi stood far away, maintaining order and security.

With so many big figures appearing here, safety must be guaranteed, otherwise a single assassin with a high stake can kill more than half of France's political elite.

 The funeral ended in the evening.

 Looking at Dora’s coffin being covered with loess, Queen Sissi, who was already exhausted, finally fainted.

But this time I don’t need Hardy’s support.

Ni Cai and Alice were nearby, and they directly brought the fainted Queen Sissi back to the palace.

 At night, although there were many delicacies on the table, no one had an appetite.

 The atmosphere in the entire family is quite dull.

Hardy coughed lightly and said: "Victor, Your Excellency Dora has passed away. From now on, you will be the new head of the Jeanna family."

 There was no joy on Victor's face, but a look of exhaustion.

Peter and his wife did not dare to interrupt.

They are from civilian backgrounds and don’t know what to say in this situation.

 “You have to cheer up, you will have to lead the Jeanna family in the future.” Hardy continued.

Victor raised his head and looked at Hadi: "How about... you come back and be the head of the family, okay?"

 He was not being sarcastic, but really begging Hardy.

Hardy sighed and said: "I have four territories under my own name. After a while, I have to go to the Inrodo Kingdom to conquer the Kingdom. I have endless things to do. How can I have time to take care of the Jeanna family."

 Victor's eyes were full of confusion: "But I... really don't know how to manage a family."

"If you don't know how to study, this is a man's responsibility. Your sister, Ms. Sissi, is now a qualified queen! As long as you study hard, there is nothing difficult in this world."

“Then there must be a beginning.” Victor rubbed his face vigorously with both hands: “I don’t know what to do first now.”

"First seize the military power." Hardy thought for a while and said: "The daily training and logistics of the Blade Knights are taken care of. After stabilizing, learn to manage the family's finances and know what the income and expenses are. Grasp these two things, and the rest are just small things that can be learned slowly.”

Hearing Hardy’s guidance, Victor’s eyes became less confused: “Thank you, Hardy, I feel a little more confident.”

“You’re welcome, we are a family after all.”

Victor hummed, then nodded heavily: "You will always be our family."

 At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became much better.

Everyone ate something casually and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

 After all, I have been busy with Dora's funeral these past few days, so I haven't had a good night's sleep.

 Hardy returned to the room, but the three assassins hiding in his shadow did not come out. This time was not suitable for a party, and they knew the atmosphere well.

Not long after Hardy was lying on the bed, he heard a knock on the door.

 He stood up and opened the door and saw a woman in pajamas standing outside.

At first glance, I thought it was my ‘Mrs. Anna’, but then I took a closer look and found that it was actually the real Mrs. Anna.

The scents on their bodies are different, and you can tell them apart as long as you get closer.

 “What’s the matter with you?” Hardy looked puzzled.

"About this..." Mrs. Anna took out the silver box from her back: "How to deal with the World Tree petals?" (End of this chapter)
