Chapter 506 The Funeral of Rose
It started to rain lightly outside the window, but the people inside the window were still chattering and refused to stop to appreciate this precious spring rain.
Ada was just trying to set up a trap and could not just retreat and tolerate, which led to a stalemate between the two parties. One side wants to swallow up a lot of property, and the other side refuses verbally.
Just as the noise continued, the door of the conference hall was violently pushed open, and it was Thierry and Henry's grandson.
"Have you had enough trouble!" Thierry shouted loudly, "How long are you going to make trouble? Do you want everyone to see the Rozier family's joke? A bunch of idiots!"
The noise in the conference hall suddenly stopped, and Rozier at the long table looked at Thierry.
I saw him frowning, holding the cane in his hand like a sword. The raindrops on his body did not make him look embarrassed, but made his expression even more ferocious.
The Roziers didn't know what to do for a while, and looked at Alan for help.
Alan stood up slowly. He looked at Ada and then at Thierry's grandson, his eyes full of sinister looks.
He believes that Thierry has turned his back on the family and chosen to side with Ada. But it doesn't matter. If Thierry and Henry continue to stay as grandparents, sooner or later they will be in trouble.
"We've already decided on the first two, and the rest... don't be in a hurry, let's talk slowly." Alan continued his threat, "One day we can finally negotiate."
After speaking, Alan led all Roziers out of the conference hall.
When passing by Thierry and Henry, Alan glanced at them contemptuously and said, "Uncle is getting worse as he gets older. He used to follow Aunt Vida, but now...it's really embarrassing!"
Soon, only Ada, Thierry and Henry were left in the conference hall.
Thierry looked at Ada who remained silent with complicated eyes. There was disappointment, pain, and a little worry in his eyes. Thierry sighed and walked upstairs without saying a word.
Henry also wanted to follow him upstairs, but he was stopped by Ada.
"Wait Henry, let's have a word." Seeing Henry stop, Ada continued, "You seem to have been avoiding me for more than a year. Is it my imagination?"
"Of course it's your illusion!" Henry said, "I'm busy at work. If I don't make progress, my grandfather will break my legs."
Ada said softly: "You were not like this before." Suddenly, she smiled again, and then said: "Yes, I have only known you for a total of how long. How long ago."
The two stopped talking. There seemed to be an invisible membrane between the two of them, blocking them.
Henry hesitated a little, whether he should continue to stay here or go upstairs to see Vader. Just when he was struggling, there was a sound of running, and an angry Thierry rushed into the conference room.
Thierry pushed Henry away from him, came to Ada, grabbed her collar with both hands, and lifted her up from the chair. Thierry asked angrily: "What did you give her to drink?"
At this time, Laura appeared in panic at the door of the conference hall holding Thierry's cane.
"Has he seen everything?" Ada, who was being carried, looked at Laura. Seeing Laura nodding sadly, Ada scolded: “Useless thing!”
"I'm asking you, what did you give her to drink?" Thierry asked. Henry beside him kept persuading, but he just refused to let go. His hands with protruding veins seemed to be lifting Ada above his head and slamming her to the ground.
"Since you have seen everything, why do you come to ask me?" Ada said, her tone as calm as if she was talking about a trivial matter, "You have lived for so many years, you will not be able to recognize the blood of a unicorn. Bar?"
While Ada and Henry were talking downstairs, Thierry went upstairs to visit Vida and happened to meet Laura carrying medicine. Seeing that Laura looked a little flustered, as if she didn't expect that she was here, Thierry was a little suspicious.
So Thierry wanted to see what medicine Laura was bringing, but Laura turned around and left, ignoring him at all. Thierry hurriedly chased after him, but accidentally knocked over the medicine in Laura's hand——
The silvery, glowing blood instantly poured all over the floor, and then submerged into the carpet again.
This led to the scene in the conference hall now. Thierry grabbed Ada by the collar and questioned her.
"Do you know that if you do this, she will be cursed for the rest of her life!" Thierry asked loudly, his voice sounding like it was coming out from between clenched teeth.
"Of course I know." Ada said nonchalantly, "That way she can survive."
Thierry let go of his hands, as if he was frightened again by Ada's answer. Henry quickly helped Thierry sit down, and Laura also stepped forward to protect Ada, not giving Thierry a chance to get closer.
"What kind of monster Vida has in his house," Thierry murmured, "madman, completely madman..."
With Henry's support, Thierry walked out of the conference hall tremblingly. Henry did not dare to delay and hurriedly left with his grandfather, fearing that his grandfather would find something again and be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.
After the grandfather and grandson left, Laura smoothed Ada's collar and said, "Is it too much?"
"I don't trust anyone in the Rozier family." Ada didn't move, letting Laura help her organize her clothes, "Has the letter been sent out?"
"Sergey has already set off and can reach England in the evening." Laura replied, "But, this letter is so important, why did Sergey only go alone? If he is discovered by Alan and others, or is caught what to do?"
Ada looked out the window and saw that the rain was getting heavier. She said, "I believe in Sergey's skills, and I also believe that he will never betray me."
If Laura was really unlucky and Alan discovered Sergei going to England alone, or if Sergey believed that Vader's life was not long and chose to betray him, it didn't matter either way.
Because the letter in Sergey's hand was also fake, and he had to go through the whole show.
…
The spring rain stopped and stopped until two days later.
Versailles had a different kind of magic after the rain, and the news that Rozier had been waiting for a long time came out in the Rose Manor - Vader finally breathed his last.
A funeral committee was formed instantly under the leadership of Alan Rozier, and they couldn't wait to arrange all the funeral matters. Vida Rozier stopped breathing around midnight, and the funeral committee planned the funeral in the early morning.
The only people in the manor were the Rozier family, and almost all of them came. No friends came to express their condolences because there was no time to notify anyone but Rozier.
It was as if meeting these outsiders would make Vader, who had stopped breathing, pretend to be dead.
In the spacious hall, Vida Rozier was placed in a coffin that had been prepared. The Roziers gathered in a circle to pay their respects. But there was not much sadness among these people. They were all blinded by Alan's promise and dazzled by the yellow gold.
Alan was the last one to come, and he was accompanied by a strong man whose height was the same as his waist. That was the Rozier he trusted most, Pres Rozier.
After the mourning was over, Vida's coffin was carried onto the carriage and drove all the way out of Rose Manor to Rozier's family cemetery.
Unlike the Lestrange, who is also a pure-blood family, Rozier's family cemetery is not located in Père Lachaise Cemetery, nor in other famous cemeteries. Rozier's family cemetery is hidden in a small tomb in Versailles. In the garden.
The carriage containing the coffin finally stopped at this unknown cemetery, and the mourning crowd also stopped.
The small cemetery was filled with people from the Rosier family, or married daughters of the Rosier family.
Ada was surrounded by several people with malicious intentions, and she was so alone, so pitiful. Daniel and others were not allowed to attend the funeral.
Alan walked towards a conspicuous statue, which was a woman wearing a wreath on her head, with roses growing at her feet, and a line of text engraved on the base - Even if it is full of thorns, the magic is still with Rozier.
Alan put his hand on the sculpture, then he took a few steps back, away from the statue.
The woman wearing a wreath suddenly jumped down from the base of the statue. The stone base rumbled apart, revealing a wide stone staircase that extended all the way to the ground.
The coffin was carried off the carriage, and the people who carried the coffin were all carefully selected by Alan Rozier. These people will carry the coffin into the tomb with him to complete the last step of the entire funeral.
"Trizt, although you will have nothing to do with Rozier after today, I graciously allow you to enter the tomb together." Alan Rozier said, speaking from a high position, as if he was pitying Ada.
"However, according to the ancestral teachings, you must disarm your weapons before entering." Alan said, "There is no need to have any doubts. The same is true for us."
"Okay." Ada said. As a direct relative of Vader, she should have been in the tomb.
What surprised everyone present was that Ada did not go to Henry, who was supporting Thierry (the two had always been good friends), but to the Hector family.
Ada took out her wand and asked, "Hector, can I still trust you now?"
Héctor was different from his parents who were full of eyebrows. He looked sad, and he was obviously really grieving for Vader's death, even though his relationship with Vader was not very deep.
Hector raised his head, he was a little puzzled as to why Ada would choose him. He nodded heavily, reached out to take the yew wand, and said, "No matter what, I'll wait for you to come out."
Ada smiled, but she didn't have any smile, she seemed to just want to smile.
"I want to go in too." Thierry said, although his voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly. This is not an excessive request. In terms of blood relationship, Thierry is somewhat closer to Ada.
"Of course." Alan Rozier was overjoyed, "Who else wants to enter together?"
There was silence in the cemetery. No one wanted to enter the tomb deep underground. They just want to sit back and collect money without getting involved in this muddy water.
The six people carrying the coffin were the first to walk up the stone steps, and Fan Shang was among them. Alain followed closely, Ada a few steps behind, and behind them was Thierry, who walked unsteadily.
Thierry gave Henry his wand for safekeeping, but he did not let Henry go down with him. This was the last thing he could do for Vader, something he didn't want to involve Henry in.
The crowd continued to move downwards, and the darkness gradually swallowed up the sunlight. Only the torches on both sides of the corridor brought a glimmer of light, and the darkness was unclear.
At the end of the stone staircase is a tall stone door, engraved with complex patterns and Rozier's decorations. Alan passed over the people carrying the coffin, stood in front of the stone door, stretched out his hands and pressed it on the stone door.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing the underground tomb inside.
This is a very spacious circular tomb, and all the decorations are carved from stone. The eternal burning magic fire is the only source of light in the tomb.
In the middle of the tomb is a tall stone platform with stone decorations carved into books. The tomb is surrounded by small arches one after another, leading to different tombs.
Under the leadership of Alan, the coffin bearers, Ada, and Thierry walked towards the arch opposite the stone door at the entrance, which was the resting place of Rozier's soul on the Vidal branch.
Many coffins were placed in order behind the arch, and Vida's coffin was placed next to Louis. Then the coffin bearers withdrew, leaving only Ada, Thierry, and Alain standing by the arch.
Ada pushed open the coffin lid and looked at Vader lying inside. Her hands were folded on her chest and her wand was placed between her hands.
Thierry stepped forward tremblingly, holding the coffin with both hands and sobbing loudly. The cry echoed in the tomb, sending shivers down Alan Rozier's spine.
"Okay, let's go out now." Alan said impatiently. He still had things to do and didn't want to waste time here.
Thierry looked up at Alan next to the arch, and then at Ada who was expressionless. Thierry clenched his fists, feeling sad in his heart. He felt that he was the only one grieving for Vader.
After taking one last reluctant look, Thierry restored the coffin and returned to the circular tomb in the middle with Ada and Alan.
Alan did not open the stone door at the entrance to the tomb, but went straight to the stone platform in the center of the tomb. As he walked, he said: "Vida Rozier is finally dead. The big stone pressing on my head is finally gone. I can do whatever I want."
"Don't be too presumptuous!" Thierry roared loudly, and the silent tomb was filled with his roar.
"Shut up, you old man!" Fan Shang jumped out, "You will just follow Wei Da's ass and be a pitiful yes-man. If it weren't for that old Wei Da, the family wouldn't be what it is today!"
Ada, who had been silent, finally spoke, and she asked: "Alan Rozier, Louis' death is related to you, right?"
Alan stood on the high platform in the middle, his hands on both sides of the stone book. He smiled and said: "Of course, how could I allow the disgrace of my family to live on? Louis must die."
"How dare you!" Thierry was trembling with anger. "How dare you do this? That's your brother!"
"Why doesn't he dare? Why doesn't he dare?" Ada said, her clear words echoing in the underground tomb, "Who made Louis and him a contender for the heir! If Louis changes his mind, his position as heir will not be preserved. ”
Alan was very proud of himself on the high platform. He smiled and said: "You're right, so right! So how could I let Louis go? So I found my relatives far away in the UK and we hit it off. With Evan's help, I found Killed Louis. And wounded him.”
Alan's smile gradually became abnormal and became arrogant.
He continued: "I have already thought about how to torture Louis, who has brought shame to the family, and how to torture that dirty Muggle woman. But we only found him in Louis' hiding place, that Dirty Muggle women aren't there!"
Alan's memories continued, and he continued: "I wanted to know the whereabouts of that woman, but Louis refused to say anything. Time was tight, and I couldn't stay there for too long. I had to kill and bring shame to the family. Louis hurried back and asked Evan to find the woman."
"Has Evan Rozier found her?" Ada asked. She wanted to know Jessica's whereabouts, but she was also afraid that Alan would learn any news about Jessica from the air, which might mean that Jessica had already died.
"No, Evan didn't find that dirty woman until his death." Alan said, "It's because of Evan's uselessness that I have been worried for so many years, for fear that Vader would find out any clues about that year!"
Thierry said angrily: "You don't dare to do something to Vida, so you have been weakening her influence in the family over the years, and you want to give her a fatal blow when she is weak!"
"Yes, the plan went very smoothly." Alan pointed at Ada and said, "But this bastard came and all my years of hard work were in vain! But it doesn't matter, the Dark Lord is back, and Vader is finally dead. Although there are some twists and turns, But everything turned out the way I wanted.”
As he spoke, Alan put his hand on the stone book.
The book carved from stone opened suddenly, bursts of golden light emerged. In the golden light was a tree full of names, which was Rozier's family tree. The name of a living person has a blooming rose, while the name of a dead person has a withered rose.
"I can finally erase Louis' name and wash away the family's shame!" Alan said proudly.
Then, Alan looked at Ada and continued: "You have to watch carefully, because this is the last scene of your short life, and your body will leave the Rozier house together with Louis' name!"
"Really?" Ada said, "I suggest you take another good look."
Hearing this, Alan looked at the family tree. His face instantly turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He saw that the rose that belonged to Vader Rozier was still in full bloom.
