The Moon Blooms At The Desert [Under Editing]

Funeral

Two days passed. Maria was in the gloomy weather. All of the citizen were gathered at the castle. Some of them were the diplomatic kingdom, wearing black suit and held a white lily. Eren and Levi stood in front of the coffin, wearing the same pitch black dress. The brunette hid his face behind the black veil, his hand holding a bunch of black orchid, Carla's favorite flower. Beside them, Mikasa and Armin stood while holding a white lily.

"Welcome, my friends. We are gathering here for the funeral of the queen of Maria, Queen Carla. She was the kind queen and caring to us. Now she is sleep in eternity, her body will go, but she always live in our heart. May God bless her," Grisha said. He walked toward the coffin, looking at the beautiful woman who slept in her golden dress.

"Rest in peace, Carla. I'll take care our children. I promise," Grisha whispered. He put a red rose on her hands and ordered the guards to close the coffin, bringing it out of castle. All of the guests following to the vast garden. The guards put the coffin at the garden and burnt it. There were some people sobbing and crying, including Eren. He crying silently, holding the bunch of black orchid in his hug.

"Eren," Levi called, hugging him and let the prince of Maria crying. Kuchel and Kenny were there, patting Grisha's shoulder to show their condolence.

"Sorry, Grisha. We can't protect your wife," Kenny said.

"That's fine, my friend. It's not your fault."

"Levi, take Eren back to the castle. He looks so pale," Kuchel said softly.

"He doesn't want, Mom. He wants to stay."

Kuchel nodded, looking at Eren who blank. He looked like a zombie, he lost something important to him. The funeral took time until the sun set, all of the guests were gone. Only the royal family of Maria still standing at there, looking to the ashes which spread on the lake not far from there. Levi carrying his fiance till reached the castle. Some of the guards offering help, but Levi rejected all and let himself took him to his room.

"Mom," Eren called, almost whispered. Levi kissed his forehead and put him on the bed. His gaze were blank, no more sparkle inside them.

"Eren, eat something, okay? You need to fill yourself," Levi offered, but Eren only shook his head and looking at the ceiling blankly. "How about milk? I'll get one for you."

He shook his head again, a transparent crystal fell on his cheek. Levi cupped his cheek and turned his gaze to meet him.

"Don't punish yourself like this, Eren. You only dig your grave. Let your mother go, she'll happy now."

"I'm just a spoilt boy who scold his mother! I can't stand it! I feel like I'm a bad boy!" Eren screamed. "Levi, I want my mom."

"Eren, human have their cycle, life and death. Release her, for your goodness."

"No, I can't! I can't live without Mom. I'd rather die than look Mom dead because of me!"

"Eren, listen! It's not your fault! I won't let you die!" Levi yelled. "If you die, I'll die."

"Sorry, sorry," Eren cried. Levi pulled him into his cuddle and kissed his forehead. "Mom."

"It's fine, Eren. I'm here for you."

One week passed so fast. The wedding of Armin and Mikasa only count the time. All of the servants were busy to prepare it, including the king.

In other hand, Eren was standing on the balcony, looking at the sky blankly. He even didn't realize Levi stood behind him, looked anxious with his fiance's attitude.
