The coffin was taken to the central graveyard of Telence for burial. Everyone was standing around the grave. The deceased's mother and his sister, along with other relatives, were standing still by the brown coffin, waiting for the Alliance lord to come.

Soon after, the lord came with his escort, but this time with two unknown faces with him. A middle-aged woman and a young boy by his side. He was walking fast. Then he came to the grave with the boy by his side, but the woman stayed a long distance.

"This was your younger brother, Sam. He died in a plane crash. He always told me if he had an older brother..." Johann Wallace looked pained right now.

Everyone there heard those words from his mouth, and they were in shock. His daughter asked him with doubts,

"What are you saying? And who is this person that you are addressing as an elder brother?"
"You will know very soon. Now allow us to send your brother Sam for his eternal sleep."

The burial process continued. Sam's mother kept crying. Her daughter was keeping her company. Thunder started rumbling in the far-dark clouds. Raindrops followed the thunder, respectively.

Heavy rain started to make the new grave plain and softened the soil surface embedded with grass. Everyone started to leave the graveyard from the backside of the crowd.

Very soon, only the relatives remained. After a few more times, they also started to leave. Now only the family members and the guards remained, including Diana and Rice, who would be known as Vries from now onwards.

Johann Wallace was seated on the grass, and Vries was accompanying him, holding his left wrist. After about one hour more, Johann Wallace finally spoke,

"Those who are born, sooner or later he must die." He paused and looked in the raining sky. "Let him rest in peace. Let's go."

He stood up as well as Vries. Everyone then followed them towards the entrance. Sam's mother was already passed out after crying for too long. Her maidservants and her daughter were taking her to the exit.

It was past twelve in the local time.

Everyone was present in the enormous dining hall of the royal palace of the alliance lord. A long dining table made of white marble and glass is decorated with luxurious tablecloths over it. Cutlery and other items were in organized order on the table. Everything looked neat and clean. Alliance banners were hanging from the top of the round-designed pillars.

Johann Wallace and Johann Vries entered the hall with his mother. Wallace's daughter and her unconscious mother followed in. Then some maids came and took her mother to her room.

Everyone had the same question in their minds cooking now. Johann Wallace understood the atmosphere from the way they were looking at Vries and his mother. Their outfits seemed poor while everyone in the hall was lavishly dressed.

"Everyone, please sit down. I have something to announce."

Everyone in the room sat on the dining table. There were more than 150 seats in total around the table. At one edge, the seat was fixed for Johann Wallace as the lord of the house. Johann Wallace at first pulled the chair on the right side of his chair and told Diana to sit down. And he signaled Vries to sit on the left side of him.

Everyone was clueless and confused.

"You all are my close relatives and friends. That's why you need to know about this."
He took a deep breath.
"This is my first wife, Diana, and this is my eldest son, Tang Johann Vries. My blood."
