After a few hours, Madam Luo was declared dead. The older woman died in the arms of her grandson, smiling. While this was enough to make everyone sad, Lily and Zhou Jingren, even Claude knew that her death was the best outcome that they could possibly have. Madam Luo's remains were immediately cremated and were given to her grandson, who chose to stay inside the palace for his own safety.
Since not many people knew that Madam Luo and Claude stayed in the palace, the Duke told Leandro and the others that the old madam died in Belgium. And that Claude wanted to spend some time to mourn alone.
Days passed.
Today, the twins will turn twenty-four. And just like every birthday celebrant, Eliza was ecstatic. She knew that the topic of marriage would soon arise in this dinner. And she was excited to see Harringfort's reaction.
