His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1650

Two days later, Nancy chaired a meeting to set Dylan's funeral for one week later. The day between his death and funeral would be declared the national period of mourning.

On the night of his death, Dylan's body had been brought to the church by the royal undertaker, Alberto Hudson.

“Mother, as Dylan's funeral is next week, can we release Aaron first?”

Celeste hurried to Nancy's side once she heard that the funeral date had been settled upon.

“He will be released the day before the funeral,” Nancy plainly replied, looking at her.

“But-”

Before Celeste could finish, Monisha entered to report that a few nobles and generals had something to discuss with the queen mother.

After being interrupted, Celeste had no choice but to leave. Unexpectedly, they stopped her by the door, informing her that she should stay, as what they were about to discuss was related to her too.

When she re-entered, Nancy gave her the side-eye before returning her attention to the group that consisted of more than ten men.

“What is it that you want to talk about?” Nancy inquired after inviting them to take their seats.

“Your Majesty, we're here to discuss the matter of appointing a new king, as the country cannot go a day without one. Now that one week has passed since the king's death, you have yet to declare Prince Aaron as the new king.”

Nancy was cognizant that Aaron would inherit the crown. She just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
