Chapter 1650 Day Of Mourning

Two days later, Nancy chaired a meeting to set Dylan’s funeral for one week later. The day between his

death and funeral would be declared the national period of mourning.

On the night of his death, Dylan’s body had been brought to the church by the royal undertaker, Alberto

Hudson.

“Mother, as Dylan’s funeral is next week, can we release Aaron first?”

Celeste hurried to Nancy’s side once she heard that the funeral date had been settled upon.

“He will be released the day before the funeral,” Nancy plainly replied, looking at her.

“But—”

Before Celeste could finish, Monisha entered to report that a few nobles and generals had something

to discuss with the queen mother.

After being interrupted, Celeste had no choice but to leave. Unexpectedly, they stopped her by the

door, informing her that she should stay, as what they were about to discuss was related to her too.

When she re-entered, Nancy gave her the side-eye before returning her attention to the group that

consisted of more than ten men.

“What is it that you want to talk about?” Nancy inquired after inviting them to take their seats.

“Your Majesty, we’re here to discuss the matter of appointing a new king, as the country cannot go a

day without one. Now that one week has passed since the king’s death, you have yet to declare Prince

Aaron as the new king.”

Nancy was cognizant that Aaron would inherit the crown. She just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

And currently, the one who brought it up was actually… Filled with disbelief, she gave Matthew a

disappointed look, for he had blindsided her with the request.

When Matthew caught the look in her eye, he averted his eyes by reflex but quickly regained his

composure and held her gaze with conviction.

Nancy’s expression darkened, as it wasn’t lost upon her that he must be angry over the pictures and

videos from a few days ago. Hiding her displeasure, she faced the men in front of her.

“I’m sure all of you are aware that it was Aaron who poisoned Dylan. That’s the reason why the naming

of the king has been delayed. Under normal circumstances, the prince is still subject to the laws of the

common man. Nonetheless, due to him being Dylan’s only son and the fact that the nation cannot go

without a king, locking him up serves as a form of punishment. But since you have raised the matter, I’ll

take the opportunity to inform you that the king’s coronation day will be held after the funeral.”

The men exchanged glances as they found her reply to be reasonable.

“The king’s funeral will be next week. Hence, the prince should be given his freedom before then. After NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

all, he needs to be present to accept the condolences from the public,” Lawrence demanded, staring

intently at Nancy.

Even though she was Turlen’s queen mother and had power concentrated in her hands, she still

couldn’t ignore the sentiments of the nation’s officials.

Since her initial plan was to release Aaron the day before the funeral, she decided to bring it forward

upon Lawrence’s request and to satisfy the officials’ demands.

“Monisha, release Prince Aaron and bring him to Paelsford Manor to wash up before sending him to

the church where he’ll keep vigil.”

Monisha set off at once to get it done.

With the matter settled, the crowd didn’t linger any further and went off to deal with the royal funeral.

Just as Celeste left with the others, Nancy called out to Matthew, who had no choice but to stay.
