It's Too Late for Regrets - Chapter 7.0
The funeral for the Duchess was held on a scale worthy of her rank.
Her body, without a single wound and looking as if she were peacefully asleep, was carefully placed in a glass coffin.

The emperor, who came personally from the capital’s royal palace to visit the Duke’s residence, spoke calmly.
“You need to remarry, Rayan.”
