Kaila's POV
"Then I am the Plunderer! I am!"
Hinihingal kong sabi. Nagkatinginan silang dalawa. Bumuntong hininga si Gother.
"If you are, we have to kill you." Seryuso niyang sabi. Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya.
What?
"W-why?"
"Because you are the Plunderer."
I don't even know what's a plunderer and yet I have to die because of it.
"This is unfair." Di ko mapigilang sabi. Napatingin ako sa pendant ko na kanina ko pa hawak hawak. "Nova..."
Anong gagawin ko ngayon?
"But we can't kill you." Napatingin ako sa kanila.
"Only an Armanian blood can kill you."
"Armanian?"
"The Armania Family. They are the only one who can kill you."
"Armania? Wait. But why?"
"That's the prophecy. Only the Aramania Family can kill the Plunderer. Unfortunately. Only one person has that blood."
"Who is it?" Bat ako kinakabahan? Armania? That's Nova's last name.
"Hellios Nova Armania." Napatakip naman ako ng bibig. "Kawawa nga. Malaking responsibilidad ang nakapatong sa kanya. Everyone wants him to kill the Plunderer for the Plunderer who brings misfortune to humanity."
Nova? But why?
You know! Did you approached me to kill me? But that doesn't make any sense! Pinakasalan mo ako!
Did you... give up on your responsibility for me?
Hinawakan ko ng maigi ang pendant at napansin ang crest sa likuran nito.
Nova...
Lagi mo nalang akong nililigtas ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, di ko na alam kung tama pa bang ipaglaban ko ang buhay ko. Lagi nalang ganito... pero di ko naman kayang isawalang bahala ang sakripisyo mo.
You really love me.
I love you too and it hurts. You did all the sacrifices without me knowing.
I wonder... did you suffer?
I can't die just yet. I want to pay you. I will live for you. Your sacrifices won't be in vain.
But first, how can I get out of here?
Tumingin ako sa kanila ng maigi. Napansin ko naman ang babae na nanlaki ang mata na nakatingin sa pendant ko. Agad naman itong bumalik sa walang emosyon na mukha.
"Tell me, do you know someone with an Armanian blood?"
Natigilan at nag iwas ng tingin.
Why is she asking me this?
"Why, Sof?" Rinig kong tanong ni Gother.
"Her pendant. Has an Armanian Crest on it."
Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin at hinawakan ang pendant para maitago ito sa kanila.
"Are you sure?" Tanong pa ulit ni Gother.
"Yes." Bumuntong hininga ang babae. "She's not the Plunderer. Kung siya man bakit magbibigay ang isang Armania ng bagay na kaya siyang protektahan?" Sabi ng babae at umalis. Tiningnan pa ako ulit ni Gother bago lumabas ng kwarto.

Gother's POV
"Are you sure it's an Armanian Crest?" Tanong ko pa ulit kay Sofia nang makalabas kami sa interrogation room.
