"I am fine," Kace said in a low voice. He didn't sound convincing at all for the girl, but Hope remained silent as their fingers intertwined to each other while Carina and Chiron did the same. Their eyes were on the podium, but their mind and soul were somewhere else. No one would know what they were actually thinking at that moment.
The procession of this funeral ended uneventfully, which was one hour later. As odd as it sounded, this was the first funeral that was attended by the whole race of the centaurs' altogether.
On a normal occasion, Chiron would attend a funeral with Carina or Zarrn and be the representative of the centaurs, or he would not come at all.
That was why the whole village couldn't help, but take a second glance towards the horde of the centaurs among them. No one really paid attention towards the extra people that those centaurs had taken with them, which was Hope—who was really grateful for that.
