She had been dressed in the gorgeous silk dupioni gown her nurse had laid out for her the night before her unconscious body had been found. The clergyman had closed her eyes shut before he began the proceedings, so all she could do now was hear. And Juliet had heard plenty during her eulogy. More weeping from her inconsolable mother and nurse. Her father had cursed her soul more than once. But what was still ringing in Juliet’s ears was the whispering from the other vampires who had come to her funeral to pay their respects. “You have to admire the girl for sticking to her principles,” one gentleman had said. “I would have admired her more if she had married Count Paris,” a woman had replied. “I doubt he will help us with Prince Radu now.” Juliet knew that the woman had spoken the truth. The count had been so upset by his future bride’s suicide that he’d left before the funeral had concluded. But as much as it hurt to accept that her actions carried such great consequences for others, if Juliet was given the chance to repeat the last twenty-four hours, she would not change a thing.
