Hi all,
I have two questions regarding the opening lines of a short story called 真夜中の王女 (midnight princess)
ある王国でのこと。
うつくしい王女が十五歳でなくなって、そのなきがらをおさめたひつぎが、教会にはこびこまれた。
1Is the use of でのこと just to give the impression that something is happening or taking place.
2 Is the verb associated with object marker をおさめた 収める?And if so is なきがらをおさめたひつぎが a polite set phrase that means the burial casket. or is the literal meaning they want because it is a horror story therefore it would be something like corpse interned coffin.
so my interpretation is,
In a kingdom a 15 year old beautiful princess passed away and her corpse interned casket was carried to the church.
よろしくお願いします
