Mixed Blessing System



After Mabel woke up, Lothur let his women and this person spend some time together to discuss everything that had happened.

He had already prescribed all the pills and potions she had to take, and Viktoria knew what she had to do. As such, he would not need to interact with her anymore.

Anyway, over the next few hours, Viktoria and Annaliese would update Mabel on the Frost family situation, who had survived that day, how they now belonged to the Ritter family, and some plans for the future.

After talking about the death of Annaliese's baby and returning to the subject of Aiken, she decided to schedule the funeral and burial of the former Frost patriarch for the next day.

After their conversation earlier, they separated to make the funeral arrangements that would last only a few hours until their final burial and farewell to Aiken.

...

By the morning of the next day, the main powers of Peters City had already received notice of Aiken Frost's funeral when the gates of this family's headquarters opened.

As the gates opened, the first group to arrive entered that place, where all the family members in the surrounding area were dressed in black, most of them silent.

As they approached the house where Aiken and Mabel lived, Gomeric and Hilda walked slowly beside Elke, all of them with their heads bowed.

Arriving in front of that house, they entered quietly, finding the living room of that residence without the typical furniture there, replaced by flowers on the sides and the coffin with Aiken in the center.

As they looked around, they immediately saw Annaliese and Viktoria standing near Aiken's coffin, where Mabel also was.

But this woman was in a wheelchair, showing everyone that her situation was not simple.

"Matriarch Mabel, I am sorry for your loss..." Gomeric and Hilda said their words of regret before exchanging a few words with Aiken's widow.

They were happy about her recovery, but there was no way they could congratulate her during her husband's funeral...

As for the doubt they had in their hearts, they would keep that to themselves. It was not within their rights to ask about Mabel's situation!

However, contrary to what it seemed, Mabel would not need the wheelchair forever. This was a temporary measure because of how much she had suffered in the battle against Simon's spectre.

Some of the spiritual nerves in her legs had broken, and it would take her some time to get used to walking without the use of spiritual energy.

But just as a baby would learn to walk even without having cultivation, this woman could also relearn how to do that.

"Thank you for coming, Hilda, Gomeric. That means a lot to us." Mabel said while holding a black handkerchief in one of her hands.

Just as Gomeric and Hilda were about to say their words to Viktoria and Annaliese, a few more people arrived.

First came some recent allies of the Frost family, but also old friends of Aiken, like the coroner Klossner.

But soon, all the partner families in the Ritter Motor Company would be represented by at least one person.

However, not only old friends and recent allies came. By mid-day, the Duke of the Province's group arrived at the place.

"Matriarch Mabel, we have not been close for most of the years. However, I regret the way Patriarch Frost died.

Knowing that someone like him, who fought so hard for his family, died like this makes me really sad.I think you should take a look at

I hope you can forget our old grudges and accept my condolences." Chris said as he bowed his head, sincerely angry at how things had turned out for this family.

For a long time, he had wished for the downfall of the Frost family. But it had fallen when he had changed sides and became friendly to this family.

But not only that, the way the Frost family had fallen was not in anyone's favor!

Spectres were natural enemies of the living, so the tragedy of the Frost family was to be mourned even by enemies of that family.

Mabel no longer had the energy to maintain rivalries and accepted wholeheartedly the words of Chris, who had helped her that day against the spectre controlling Aiken.

"Thank you for your words."

Meanwhile, people in the surrounding area gathered in groups, talking about Aiken, that day's battle, and some even talking about the future.

But no one was touching Lothur's name since he had forbidden them to speak his name unless it was really necessary.

Lothur was not there for Aiken's funeral. However, he followed everything from his residence, still working on the items of the Frost family treasure.

So he watched as Mabel made her farewell speech before Annaliese and Viktoria also said their final words to Aiken.

They promised to do their best to develop and protect the family, bring in new members and fight against spectres.

It was not the purpose of the Frost family. Still, after what had happened, they were determined to prepare themselves against the spectres' threat.

Even people unrelated to the Frost family and the Ritter Motor Company, such as the Duke, felt that they really needed to prepare for the spectral threat.

What had happened in this place was a warning to everyone. They needed to prepare!

If they closed their eyes to the spectral problem, sooner or later, they might experience something equal or even worse than this family's problem!

After the words and promises of Aiken's relatives, the funeral drew to a close, with the group wooing his coffin to the entrance of the Frost family treasury.

From that point on, only family members could enter, so the guests slowly dispersed at this point as dusk slowly brought the night with it.

The Frost family members would enter that place and bury Aiken's coffin without much delay, all three of the women closest to him unable to stand the moment and crying as they saw dirt covering his coffin.

After an hour, the group that went in returned when it was already evening, and they slowly returned to their homes.

"Where will you stay?" Mabel asked. "I would like you to return to live with me in your father's house."

Viktoria and Annaliese looked at each other, and then the older one said. "We can do that. When one of us is not with Lothur, we will stay here at night with you, mother.

When he leaves for his journey, we will both live here. What do you think of that?"

Mabel accepted that and smiled subtly at her girls. "That's perfect."
