However, since the modern era, the royal families of various countries had surrendered their real power, and after the implementation of the constitutional monarchy, these European royal families had lost their kingdoms, and they had become unusually united like a group that would huddle together to keep warm.
As soon as there was a king or queen of any kingdom i n poor health or even on the verge of dying, the royal family would send a secret letter to the other royal families so that the other side would know about it in advance and be prepared to come for the mourning.
Those who would generally come to mourn would be the crown prince or a prestigious prince of the various countries.
Otherwise, if anyone happened to be out of the country during this time, they would probably miss the funeral.
So, these people had always felt that the old Queen of Northern Europe was already dying and was thus changing the heir to the throne. They thought that it would be the last thing that she would do before her death, but who would have thought that the old lady would walk into the church on her own!
Although the state of the Queen's walk was not very fast, it was already considered to be very steady for a
seventy-year-old woman.
Moreover, the Queen's rosy complexion and the relaxed expression on her face were not at all like a person who had been seriously ill and on the verge of dying.
As the Queen walked to everyone who was sitting in the first row, Duke Philip was the first person to come back to his senses. He stood up with a shocked expression on his face and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's been a long time, and you look even better than the last time I saw you!"
The Queen nodded slightly and smiled as she said," Phillip, how is your mother's health?"
Phillip hurriedly said, "She was feeling a little unwell some time ago and is still recovering. After all, she is already old and so, her rate of recovery is a little slow."
"That's right...” The Queen sighed and said, "She is already almost a hundred years old. That is truly remarkable indeed."
At this time, others were still shocked and had not come back to their senses yet as they looked at the queen. This was because they found that regardless of whether it was the way she walked, talked, or even her mannerisms, the queen did not look sick in any way at all. This was simply too strange. Even if the Queen had just recovered from a serious illness, it would simply be impossible for her to be completely well all of a sudden, right?!
