The Act

Chapter-11

*Sigh*

'Why would she kill the person she was closest to. According to these letters, she these gave to him after sealing him in the room, that means he hadn't read them before. Though she wrote he already knew why she would lock him. This is a loophole, then does it mean Michael knew she was going to do this and helped her or was he forced to. I don't understand.'

Navia leaned on the desk with her fingers intertwined and her head resting on them. She had a serious look as she concentrated on the documents in front of her.

'I should try to open her room once I get back to Arvania. I should also pay a visit home, I need to check something. But for now I should get going, I'm already late for my meeting with Sir Mekiel. Madam Celina had a lot of paper work to take care of before leaving, since tomorrow is our last day in Pallova so it's just I and Sir Mekiel today.'

~In the Study~

"It seems like it's just you and me Navia. Celina wanted to join but she had so much work to catch up on it couldn't be helped."

"Please don't mind me Sir Mekiel but you seem to be very happy by the fact of Madam Celina being busy."

"Yes, it cannot be denied that it is true, since I am the one who usually has loads of work to do and Celina is the one being free, for once in a long time it's the other way around so I decided to enjoy the moment."

"I see if you are happy than I'm happy for you as well."

"Thank you Navia, now then, shall we proceed with the story? Where did we leave it last time?"

"It was when the three of you left for Pallova from Vendellin city."

"Right, so we boarded the train to Pallova and as you know I and Celina didn't get along very well, so I decided to strike a small conversation with her while Katherine was still asleep."

~The Past~

"Hey are you okay?"

"Are you talking to me? Without a reason? Is the world nearing it's end?

Celina said in a mocking tone which offended Mekiel making him loose his temper.

" Excuse me, I wouldn't even bother to talk to you if you weren't traveling with us in the same compartment and we have both got nothing better to do anyways."

"..."

"Besides I only asked since you've been looking really worried about something. I remember that hotel manager telling you something, is this related to that by any chance?"

"...why are you so concerned?"

"I only asked out of the kindness within me."

"I don't need your kindness."

"Wow, would it hurt you to have a normal conversation with me, I mean what did I ever do to you for you to dislike me so much."

"It isn't that I dislike you. I am not used to being friendly with people or receiving their kindness, since nobody has been that way with me before."
