The day of Marat's burial had finally arrived.
Anning's whole family set out for the occasion, not just him and Christina, but his prospective father-in-law's family attended as well.
Christina wore a full black gown, complete with a black veil. Upon seeing this, Anning couldn't help but tease, "Is that what you plan to wear at my funeral, should I die in battle?"
Christina's eyes widened, and after a moment of shock, she scolded angrily, "Don't say such things! I know you scorn the Grim Reaper, but you still shouldn't tempt fate in His presence like this!"
Anning was taken aback, thinking to himself, It was just a heartless joke, how does that translate to scorning Death?
While he was internally grumbling, Vanni was grumbling too: "I always felt that the master might be an atheist. It's too dreadful."
In this era, being an atheist, to most people, was almost the same as being a disciple of Satan.
