"We must go for burial now." The priest's face was twisted and the nobles looked haggard.
They have never heard such a long vigil ever. Leo was describing Charles' stubble now that made them uneasy.
Alex sighed. He did not understand Leo either. But he stood up and walked to his brother.
"Leo!" he placed a hand on his brother's shoulder, "we must end it now."
Leo paused. His eyes instinctively went to the balcony but Oli and Eve had not returned.
He could feel the heaviness in his heart when Alex patted his shoulders.
"It is okay brother. Everything would be better." Leo sighed and nodded.
He did not even know what he was supposed to stop. Maybe Oli was just being too sensitive.
The priest took a breath of relief. He came forward with hurried steps before the prince would change his decision.
