It was unknown if the Grand Financial Representative of the Oblast of Óstrëlaka was going to make it to the funeral, but his plane landed about half and hour before the funeral, plenty of time to get there.
The ceremony has begun with a service in memory of the late King-Emperor. Among the foreign dignitaries in the crowd are:
1: President Alex Fisher of the Autonomous Presidential Republic of Belluterra,
2: President Kyle Johnson of the Provincial Republic of New Chandler,
3: King Jordan I of the Kingdom of Waterbridge,
4: Prime Minister Matthew Whitehead of the Stone Republic,
5: King Xue Hong of the Kingdom of Astey,
6: Vasilissa Sofia II of the Kingdom of Posillipo,
7: Damien Rougessi, Ambassador for the United Kingdom of Cattala to the Republican Kingdom of Grand and Belluterra, and
8: Michael Kornejev, Grand Financial Representative for the Oblast of Óstrëlaka.High King Charles Andrei IV of the United Imperial Kingdom of Posillipo and Astey planned to attend, but something came up at the last minute and he wasn’t able to attend, but he still sent his condolences.
The procession has begun, with the sarcophagus being carried by six pallbearers, with the royal family directly behind them, the foreign dignitaries behind them, and multitudes of Grandians and Belluterrans behind them.
The procession passes through the Great Hall on its way out of the inner palace.
As the sun begins to set, the procession nears the magnificent marble tomb constructed for Daniel.
After the sarcophagus has been put on its specially-carved pedestal, Emperor-Elect Charles I passes by the sarcophagus to pay his last respects, followed by the rest of the royal family, the foreign dignitaries, and the rest of the crowd.
The sun has almost set as the crowd disperses to go back home. The foreign dignitaries are staying in the palace for the night, and will begin to return to their respective nations, if they wish, tomorrow morning.
Khot hap ee ko,
EmperorDaniel
