Clash of the Electors (Thanks Again to Ink Guest for the Tip

At the Council of Elders, the elders had no right to interrupt. The supporters of the electors clashed with one another, while the onlookers watched the spectacle and enjoyed the show.

Grand Duke Mayers naturally understood what Grand Duke Rodriguez meant. The other side wanted to delay Volvo.

They wanted Volvo to return, but once he returned, they would have countless reasons to postpone the Emperor's funeral.

By then, discussing it for one or two months would be perfectly normal, wouldn't it? Preparing for another half a year after reaching a decision would also be perfectly normal, wouldn't it? Holding the funeral for several months after preparations were complete would be effortless, wouldn't it? And after the funeral, all sorts of events would naturally follow, wouldn't they?

Once he returned to the Imperial Capital, Volvo could forget about returning to the Northlands.

Therefore, today, right now, immediately, the date of the Emperor's funeral had to be decided.

"The funeral of the first Emperor Columbus was held in the first month after his death. The funeral of the second Emperor Columbus was held in May, the season of singing birds and fragrant flowers. His death brought an end to the war among the nobles."

"The two funerals were held in the first and third months after the emperors' deaths, respectively."

Grand Duke Rodriguez considered for a moment before saying,

"Perhaps His Majesty's funeral can be held in March."

He would have liked to suggest a later date, but if it was too far off, Volvo likely would not return to the Imperial Capital immediately.

Meyers did not approve of that date. It was still too long.

"I believe February is the best choice. His Majesty Columbus was not only the Emperor of the Empire, but also the Grand Pope of Light.
