Chapter 1655 The Funeral

“Why did you put the clothes in the washing machine today?” Melissa asked. She had always hand-washed Matthew’s laundry.

The general knew he had roused Melissa’s suspicion. However, he did not see any other way out of the situation. If he had not put the clothes into the washing machine and his wife found out about his affair, it would only serve to complicate the matter.

“Just put the clothes into the washing machine in the future,” Matthew said. Then, he circled her into his embrace and said softly, “I’m worried about your health. I mean for you to accompany me for the decades to come.”

Melissa burrowed herself in his embrace and was moved by his sweet talk.

Even if they had been married for years, Melissa felt like the love between them was just blooming.

“I will take care of myself so that I may continue to be by your side forever,” Melissa said.

Matthew embraced her and said nothing. However, he made a vow to never betray her ever again.

After a week, Dylan’s funeral procession began as scheduled.

Dylan’s subjects who could make it to his funeral procession came to send the king off for one last time from all over the nation. Those who did not manage to come mourned the king in their homes.

On the day of the funeral, Arielle and Vinson disguised themselves and followed Lawrence to send Dylan off.

They could only watch the funeral procession from afar. There were fresh flowers placed on Dylan’s casket that was carried by over twenty men. Arielle was disheartened as her father’s casket was finally laid to rest in the royal mausoleum. It hit her that she would never get to see him ever again.

Even though she was terribly upset by the notion and wanted to cry, there were no tears in her eyes. She had shed all of them in the past few days.

After they headed back home, Vinson noticed that Arielle was standing by the window with folded arms, painting a forlorn figure. He approached her and hugged her from behind as he said, “Just cry if you want to.”

Arielle leaned back and shook her head gently. There were no tears left to cry. Even if she was really upset, she could not replace it in her to shed another tear.

“Sannie, leave Dylan’s matters to me. You’d better head back to the country first.” At the thought of the queen mother’s national arrest order, Vinson’s eyes darkened. He was afraid that they would somehow make a blunder.

Even if they had been disguising themselves when they went out these few days, they still encountered a couple of dangerous situations. Needless to say, it was all orders by the queen mother.

“I want to avenge my parents!” Arielle said. She knew that Vinson was worried about her safety. She turned around and looked at him. “We can’t run forever. I want her to personally clear the accusation of me being a spy and for her to guarantee my safety.”

Vinson knew that she already had a plan in her mind after listening to Arielle. However, he still felt the need to remind her that her safety should always come first. After all, the queen mother was so vicious that she could even sacrifice her own son to achieve her goals.

The day after Dylan’s funeral ceremony, Aaron’s coronation was announced by the royal family. From then on, he was no longer the Prince Aaron of Turlen. Aaron would be crowned the King of Turlen. The future of Turlen now lay on the shoulders of the young king.

“Your Majesty, since Prince Aaron has been crowned as the king, is it not time you renounce your powers to the new king, so that he may lead the country from now on?” Lawrence asked Nancy.

Aaron was surprised that Lawrence was being so direct. He shot a look at Nancy, curious to hear what his grandma had to say. Would she treat him the same as she had treated his father?

The queen mother’s face darkened when she heard Lawrence. She turned to look at Aaron and asked, “Aaron, is this what you think too?”
