The Burial

Xia stared at King Philips peaceful face lying inside the coffin for one last time before the golden cover was closed and he was lowered six feet below the Royal Burial Ground— the cemetery use by to Royal Family for their love one who passed away.

King Philip looked as if he was just sleeping. She thought recalling exactly how serene he was on his eternal slumber. The fact that he passed quickly without further suffering consoled her even just a little bit. Despite his sudden and tragic death which took the world by surprise his facial expression was surprisingly tranquil.

She felt her husbands wrapped a consoling arms around her shoulders. She did not look at him because she will feel worst than before after seeing his red eyes, a result of crying too much. She wanted to cry too but it seem she already consumed all her tears since a single drop of tears won't fall from her tears anymore.
