It had been a gloomy week. Emotionally, you and the rest of the family were devastated. Your father, the king of Greifswald, was discovered to be dead late in the afternoon. Almost immediately he was taken away, to be changed into proper funeral clothes and to be certain the body would rot away in the bed.
Where he would be buried was obvious; he had reserved a spot in the Rittersbacher Dom, there within a special spot in the royal family crypt. The news spread quickly throughout the kingdom, leaving a heavy weight on everyone's shoulders as they mourned the loss of their beloved king.
Crowds clogged the streets as the hearse carriage carrying his body was moving the corpse from the Albrechtsburg to the finished part of the Rittersbacher Dom, where everyone could take time to say their farewells. He would have to be embalmed first. The procession was sombre, with citizens lining the streets to pay their respects to the fallen king. The bells of the cathedral tolled mournfully as the carriage made its way to the final resting place of their beloved ruler.
It was only natural that you would help place the coffin where it was destined to be. And you did so in silence while the choir sang and prayed and prayed. After the embalming was finished, you took the urn containing the heart back with you; you placed it deep under the Albrechtsburg, so at least part of him could remain with the castle he had so lovingly built.
Within the cathedral it thus stood; there upon a pedestal, flanked by four Stoic Knights of the Order of the Argent Swan, the coffin rested peacefully, a cushion with the crown of Greifswald laid atop the coffin. The flickering candlelight cast a sombre glow over the scene.
You had cried, yes, but you were thankfully far away enough from the actual date of death that you could bear it. No matter what, the memories would remain, though by now you still had to plan out his funeral, as well as your own coronation. Coronations had precedent now, but you had no idea what to do in case of the death of a king. Obviously, you would be proclaimed as the sole heir within the next week or so, but the question is what should be done now.
>Declare a month's mourning.
>Half a year of mourning.
>A full year of mourning.
