Changing the Keywords of the Dark Lords (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 117

Haier’s funeral was held simply. Grace and Ashud had decided against an elaborate ceremony, as they needed to deal with various matters arising from the war with the Lunen Empire. Naturally, no one expressed dissatisfaction or objected to this.

“It’s a pity he’s gone like this.”
