Standing up, you gave the coffin a very deep bow before walking past remaining guests.
The weather was really nice, the sky was clear and it wasn't even that cold either. Even though the sea was partially frozen and the smaller ships couldn't sail, maybe the sea helped to keep the weather down by the coast a bit more warmer? You weren't sure, but probably one of your books had the answer.
Exiting the cemetery, the remaining guests started to make their way to the church. The town hall was too small for everyone to get in so the church had been chosen for the place to gather after the funeral ceremony was over.
Though two people did wait outside the cemetery fence for you.
"Prince Alric." Arthas greeted you. He didn’t have the pleasure seeing you.
"Prince Arthas." You greeted back with similar enthusiasm.
"Hi Alric, how are you? We haven’t…seen…" Jaina greeted you warmly and started to speak before her attention was caught by your lack of moustache.
"A candle fell and I tried to catch it. Got hot wax on my face." You repeated her the partial lie you had already told several times . "And yes, it burned my moustache so I had to shave them off. Can't have an uneven moustache during the funeral."
"Did it hurt?" Jaina asked and was slightly worried.
"It did, but thankfully not anymore. The burn marks should fade away too." You said and shrugged.
"Well I think you look better without them." Jaina mused aloud.
She too? Was your moustache that unpopular?
"Yeah, they looked like shit." Arthas said.
Harsh, bit too harsh.
"Arthas!" Jaina said to her boyfriend. "You can't be that rude."
"What, I just told what I thought about them." He answered back and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Exactly, that is the point." Jaina said back and stayed adamant. "Now, apologise to Alric."
Arthas hesitated at first, but chose not to fight back and instead did like his girlfriend wanted.
"I am sorry." He said very unenthusiastically.
"Apology accepted." You answered with as much enthusiasm as he had.
"Great, now though you didn’t answer my question Alric." Jaina said back to you now that the moustache issue was handled and done.
"Not great, not terrible." You answered. "You have heard the news and that is why you are probably here."
"Hmmmh." Jaina nodded to you. "Dalaran wanted to send a representative and who is better than me."
"And coming with you I can represent Lordaeron, Silver Hand and my father." Arthas said back to her.
