Chapter 108
***
The funeral for the Blanchet couple was held at Blanchet Mansion. Since their bodies could not be found, empty coffins were placed in their stead.
However, perhaps due to their wide connections, mourners continually streamed into the mansion.
Among the attendees were individuals who cursed us, branding us as "ungrateful children who had abandoned their own parents."
Interestingly, most of these critics were absent from Julianne's wedding. It was evident that the Blanchet couple had given their version of events to others.
Nonetheless, I continued to greet them with a smile.
‘They can talk after walking in our shoes...’
"I can't believe it. Greeting mourners with a smile at your parents' funeral? You're insane."
A man passed by me and muttered those words. In response, Julianne, who stood beside me, spoke with an even broader smile on her face.
"Thank you for coming, Sir Russell."
"Absolutely insane, I'm telling you..."
