Chapter 1

The time when demons come from the cemetery behind the church. The sun began to sink in the west, casting long shadows from the spire of the cross. At the end of the shadow, Claudia Jaylen stood alone. Red hair is like an intensely burning flame. Contrary to that, however, she had a black cloak draped over her shoulders. One never expected something like this to happen, it was because she didn’t prepare mourning clothes. 

There was no expression on Claudia’s face. She was just distant, staring at the tombstone without a name. At her feet, wet red soil that had just been scooped up was scattered in a mess. 

Deng- 

After a while, bells began to sound from the bell tower. It was a warning that all the doors to the church would soon be closed, so visitors should hurry home. The bell was rung three times in a row. When even the heavy lingering sound of the last bell is about to disappear, Claudia hears her own call to the tombstone quietly. 

“Casius.” 

It’s the first sound today. Not only was it completely sunken, but her voice was muddy, as if she had been caught in something. As if not knowing what to say, Claudia took in a small breath and exhaled it several times. After taking another breath, she opened her mouth with difficulty. “Everything is sudden.” 

The hem of her black dress, which she held in her hand, crumpled into an unsightly crease. 

“I’m so sorry for you…”

Name: Cassius Werner 

Rank: Lieutenant Colonel 

On April 3, 423 in the kingdom calendar, Wiza performed a feat in the Battle of Basellan, but unfortunately died. 

I convey my deepest condolences to the bereaved family. 

The 3rd Knights of the Parrotia Kingdom

*******

Cassius Werner. He was Claudia’s fiancée, and as the only son of the Marquis of Werner, he was the only heir. The body of such a person did not arrive at the front gate of the Marquis Castle, but through the back gate where the attendants went in and out. Even considering that it was an ambitious time, common sense made no sense.

“No matter how much war “

Usually, funerals in the Kingdom of Parrotia are held for a week. From the first to the third day, mourning for blood relatives, from the fourth to the sixth day, mourning for acquaintances, and finally, on the seventh day. However, Douglas, Cassius’s father and now Marquis of Werner, omitted all of that. He secretly buried him here this afternoon, the day after Cassius’s body arrived. He did not inform his son’s fiancée, Claudia. She secretly followed Marquis Werner until he was about to leave and hid behind a tree.
