Five days passed. Roshan finally had its rainy season at the end of June.
The funeral of Duke Hubble proceeded without any accident. On a rainy day, many nobles watched his coffin being moved to the Hubble Castle.
Marianne was there, too. Though her condolences were not 100% pure without any private feelings, she still prayed for his rest as best she could, believing that the price he didn't pay fully for his crimes when he was alive would be repaid in purgatory's flames.
Ober went to see Eckhart on the day when Duke Hubble's coffin was moved out of the capital. And as expected, he reported to the emperor that the witnesses went missing. In the meantime, Ober was as arrogant as before, suggesting that many more nobles supported him where they hadn't before.
