After talking to Darkness, he turned back into a cat. We came to the conclusion that since Scarlet had died, there might be a funeral held for her. So, I decided to find out if our royalty can even do the bare minimum. I walked through the purple golden castle to search for an employee as Darkness followed me. He didn't want to leave me at this time.

I found a dark-haired maid and asked the question.

"Excuse me? Do you know anything about Scarlet's death? If so, do you know if there will be a funeral held?"

"I heard of the tragedy.. although I don't know anything else, sorry." She answered.

I looked for someone else but they gave the same answer. And again, again and again. I then stumbled upon Edward, who I have not seen in ages. So I asked him too.

"Do you know anything about Scarlet's death? If so, do you know if there will be a funeral held?"

He looked at me a little grim.

"Yes, Scarlet has died unexpectedly. However, there will be no funeral held for her." He answered.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"From what I've heard, she will be buried in Cultiss. Not Travo." He added.

He then left for his duties.

"Th-thank you.." I slightly mumbled.

I looked down at Darkness and even though his eyes were wide as always, he radiated with rage. He wasn't happy about this either. No funeral? She'll just get buried in a different city? That's outrageous! What is wrong with these people?! Do they not have any respect?!

I returned quietly to my room with Darkness. Where is Cultiss anyway? I've heard of it, it's a small city, but I don't know where that is. I decided to look it up on my phone instead of trying to find it on my map.

IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EMPIRE?! IT'S LITERALLY NEAR THE BORDER BETWEEN TRUELANIA AND EMBERRAN!

"Darkness, am I not seeing this right?!" I asked him and showed him my phone.

"Wow, that's very far away.." He said.

THAT'S ALMOST 1000 KILOMETERS FROM TRAVO! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

I swung my phone and threw it across my room. It hit the wall and then the floor. The corner of the screen slightly cracked. I slumped down on my bed and buried my face in my hands.

"Hey! Calm down. You could've broken your phone!" Darkness said.

I let out a long sigh. I don't know where this anger and frustration is coming from and why I'm acting like this. I'm aware that my phone could've broken, but I threw it anyway. I felt something fat jump next to me and nudge me. Darkness has loafed beside me. I tried to close my eyes and pray that this was all just a bad dream. Maybe mom never got kidnapped? Maybe my home never was destroyed? Maybe Scarlet still lived a happy life? Maybe I was still friends with Sasha?

"Maybe you should go back to therapy?" Darkness offered.

He looked concerned.

I opened my eyes and looked at him. I then gazed back at the floor.

"Darkness, when Scarlet will get buried in Cuktiss, will you come with me to visit her there?" I asked him.

"Sure, it's the least I can do for her and you."
