Seleste's POV
Hindi maari… did someone betray me? Is it Javier or Oliver? Maliban sa dalawang iyon ay wala ng ibang nakakaalam na nasa akin ang brat na Kartara na iyon.
"What are you saying, Mr. Elrod? Matagal ng patay ang anak na iyon nila Ran." I seriously said.
Hindi dapat malaman ng matandang ito na hawak ko si Kartara. I will get the seal but Kartara will not leave the dungeon unless she is dead. Kapag nalaman ng lahat na buhay pa ang batang iyon mawawala sakin ang kayamanan ng Karsen at magmumukha akong katawa-tawa sa harap ng iba pang nobilities.
"That is my condition, Madame Seleste. You don't have to deny and act like you know nothing about it. Free Young Lady Kartara and I will tell you where the seal is." Sambit nito at matalim akong tiningnan.
How dare this lowly life stare at me like that! You will not get what you want, Elrod. Hindi ngayon na nasa akin na ang yaman.
"I do not understand what you are saying Mr. Elrod. Alam nating lahat na nasunog ang batang iyon sa loob karwahe noong sila ay naglalakbay dalawang taon na ang nakalipas." Matigas na pagtanggi ko.
Sinasabi ko na nga ba at hindi basta basta lalapit sa akin ang matandang ito kung wala siyang malalim na dahilan.
"Madame Seleste, hindi ka ba naawa sa batang iyon? She is still your relative. Free her and the Karsen Dukedom will be yours." Sambit ng matandang ito.
Wala akong pakialam sa mahinang batang iyon. Akin ang yaman ng teritoryong ito at hindi ako papayag na makuha ito ng ganon lamang.
How can he be so certain that I am hiding Kartara? This old man is hiding something important from me.
"Why are you so convinced that I am hiding Kartara? You are accusing me over a serious thing such that. You don't have the evidence. Bakit ko naman itatago ang taong patay na, Mr. Elrod." I remarked.
But, this old man isn't even showing a hint that he's going to believe what I am going to say. Sino ba ang nagbigay sa iyo ng impormasyon Elrod at ganyan na lang katigas ang paniniwala mo na nasa akin nga ang batang iyon?
"Kung ganon, Madame Seleste. Nais kong bisitahin ang dungeon ng palasyong ito. If you are not hiding Kartara, you will let me go down there. If you are telling the truth, I will freely give you the information about the seal even without the Young Lady." Elrod seriously said.
Since we've come this far… I'll give you what you want.
" I am telling you, Mr. Elrod. I don't have anything to hide from you. But, since we've come this far and you are now accusing me for hiding your previous young lady, I will give you permission to go to the underground prison of this palace. I will also personally assist you there to prove to you that I am not lying." I said.
Tumayo agad ang matanda matapos akong magsalita. Hindi ko alam kung saan ka kumuha ng impormasyon Elrod pero isang pagkakamali mo ang pagtungtong sa teritoryo ko ng hindi handa.
You are righteous but an imbecile at the same time, old man.

Third Person's POV
Naunang lumabas ng office room si tandang Carrion at sumunod naman si Seleste.
Pagdaan ni Seleste sa dalawang guard ng pinto ng office room, she gave them a signal to come with them. Agad na sumunod ang dalawang bantay.
Carrion cannot wait to see Kartara at malaman ang kalagayan ng dalaga. Sigurado siyang nasa dungeon ito ng palasyo dahil iyon ang pinakita sa kanya ng ibon. Iyong ibon na pinadala ng mga Gods and Goddesses. (Refer to Chapter 4)
