Venus is leaning over her son’s coffin at the crypt. The soldiers have brought back her dear Oswald in a blanket and kept his body inside the golden coffin with the emblem of the Visserion’s which is an emblem of a golden square with a red moon in the middle.

She is too scared to open the coffin because her son’s body is so badly charred that it is impossible to look at it. Her heart is grieving for the loss of her beloved child but a monster like Eduard will not let her grieve in peace.

The door to the crypt room opens and Eduard enters it. Behind him is a dark haired woman who walks close to Eduard and by her scent, Venus can tell she is a fae. Eduard steps towards his son’s coffin, his eyes filled with fake sorrow.
