The girl's name is Lady Mei Lin. Karlisle's appointed wife.
Karlisle comes from one of the 4 imperial exorcist clan. And the Red Butterfly is their family symbol.
Karlisle Gregory Rosthchild ang buong pangalan ni Karlisle.
Rosthchild is his family name and branch family of Rosthchild Clan.
The main family is where his half brother came from, Yukiko Gregory Rosthchild. Lahat ng child bearer ng imperial exorcist clan ay required isuot ang logo ng designated imperial clan. Everyone that sees the logo should respect them and in case of emergency protect them with their lives.
The exorcist world is no different from the government in the outside world. There is a hierarchy among the exorcists. First the Great Elders. Then the Church Representatives and Imperial Clan(equal in Rank) and then Exorcist Court , then Exorcist Army. The exorcist army consist of Main Army and Imperial Army of Imperial Clan. On the bottom is the common exorcist, Kung saan kabilang ang katulad ni Yura at ng team niya. They are the common police of the exorcist world. The weakest. Leomond and the girl with him is either belong to the imperial army or the main army. Anyway you can't differentiate them from each other. Sila Lang nakakaalam kung sino ang sino.
So why Karlisle in the common exorcist group?
Simple lang.
He got demoted.
It was an indefinite punishment.
It happened when an annual duel among imperial families happened. It's Karlisle vs his half brother Hiroshima Gregory, a main family member.
Karlisle lost, and his soul sealed temporarily.
After that he was cast out and become a common exorcist.
Pero it doesn't mean hindi na sya member ng Rosthchild Clan.
It was a common punishment sa mga incompetent imperial family members. Hindi na bago yun.
When a imperial family members die in a mission, it's considered the providence of the soul. It's the will of the soul king. Pero dahil sa nakasurvive si Karlisle sa near death mission, it would mean a good news sa family niya.
Maaari na siyang makabalik as imperial family members.
Pero iba ang nasa isip ni Karlisle.
He is not going back.
"Nababaliw ka na ba?"
Halos maitapon ni Yura ang iniinom na kape habang papasok sya sa exorcist quarter ng team niya.
It's Mei Lin's pitchy voice.
"I can't go back yet."
Sabi ni Karlisle na tunog desidido.
"You're really losing your mind"
Mei Lin eyes roll as she sighed.
"It's my choice, and it's an absolute right of an imperial family member"
Sabi pa ni Karlisle.
May harang na kurtina ang quarter ni Karlisle kaya di nya makita kung anong nangyayari sa loob.
Nakita lang ni Yura ang anino ng dalawa.
Nang maaninag nya na tila humalik dito si Mei Lin ay umiwas sya ng tingin.
Nang lumabas ito ng quarter ni Karlisle ay nagulat pa ito ng makita sya.
"Can we talk?"
Sabi nito at walang paalam na hinila sya palabas ng quarters nila.
"Yura right?"
Sabi nito at tiningnan sya. It's not a look of disgust pero hindi rin tingin nang pagkagusto. Meaning hindi sya nito gusto at hindi rin naman ayaw.
"My husband would not leave your team, I don't know what he has in mind."
Panimula nito habang hinahaplos ang logo ng family ni Karlisle.
" This night he has to go to the Head Family House. The family will break his soul seal. That means he can use his mana. Anyway that's the perks of being a imperial family member."
"But it's not allowed to use mana unless the family head allows it. Kung sakaling hindi sya payagan gamitin ang mana nya, it would mean suicide. If ever mangyari uli ang nangyari sa inyo. And he got corrupted, then it's the end of him."
Seryusong sabi ni Mei Lin.
"So what you want from me?"
Prankang tanong ni Yura.
Ngumiti ng mapakla si Mei Lin.
"Kill him before corruption happens. The spirit cannot claim when death is cause by fellow exorcist. I cannot allow him to suffer more"
Mei Lin eyes becomes teary.
"Tonight he'll slept with me. Kung magbunga ang pag sisiping namin, the family will spare my life kapag nawala ng tuluyan si Karlisle. If not, I die. Either way, I will not have any regrets."
At tumalikod na ito kay Yura.
Yura don't know what to reply.
He felt sorry for Mei Lin.
Hindi madali maging kabiyak ng isang inperial family members. Kapalit ng safety at protection ng imperial family means confinement and strict rules.
"One more thing,"
Lumingon muli si Mei Lin sa kanya.
"Please ikaw na bahala sa kanya. "
Pakiusap nito and genuinely smiled.
Ilang minuto pagkaalis ni Mei Lin ay bumungad naman ang pamilyar na mukha sa hallway. It's Leomond!
Nagulat pa sya ng titigan sya nito.
"I'm here to pick you up, where's your team?"
Tanong nito at derederechong pumasok sa quarters. Nakasalubong nito si Karlisle na palabas naman.
"Leomond , you paid me a visit?"
Nakangiting sabi ni Karlisle.
Nagtakang lumingon si Yura.
Do they know each other?
"Karlisle Gregory Rosthchild, balita ko makakabalik ka na sa imperial glory"
Hindi nya alam kung sarcastic yun or papuri.
Pero mukha namang tinanggap yun in a good way ni Karlisle.
"Couz, naman."
Palatak ni Karlisle.
Nagulat sa narinig si Yura. They are cousins? Pero sa pagkakaalam nya hindi Rosthchild ang apelyido ni Leomond. Yun ang una nyang tinanong kay Yumar dahil naging instant fan siya ng binata after the last incident.
"You're cousins?
Naglakas loob na sali niya sa usapan.
Dahil doon ay tiningnan siya ng matiim ni Leomond.
"No we're not. and yes we are"
Sabi nito na ikinalito niya.
"Pwede ba yun?"
Sagot niya.
Hindi siya nito inintindi nagkibit balikat. Nilingon nya si Karlisle na tila naman walang balak sagutin siya.
"It's a family secret"
Sagot ni Karlisle na sumunod dito.
"To the chiefs office"
Mula likod nya ay nagulat siya ng nagsalita si Trisha, may ilang bondage pa ito sa leeg , at mukha.
Halatang iritado ito sa kanya. Di nya tuloy alam kung successful ba talaga na napaaalis ang entity sa katawan nito.
Nilampasan siya at sumunod na Lang siya.
OFFICE OF CHIEF EXORCIST
Chief Sauro Severus office.
The chief of Southern HQ of the Bureau.
The man is about 50's and has a typical fat type body.
May bigote ito at singkit na mga mata.
Mukha itong mabait pero mas istrikto ito sa hitsura nito.
Nasa isang table ito kaharap sila nila Yumar ,Karlisle, Trisha,at sya. Nakaupo sila sa upuan na naroon sa harap ng table ng Chief.
Hindi nya alam kung bakit naroon din si Leomond na nakasandal sa dingding ng office malapit sa pintuan ng office. Mukhang wala naman itong balak umupo.
"Nabasa ko na yung reports nyo and wala akong nakitang pagkakamali, maliban sa Oras ng transference. And please I don't want to hear excuses now."
Sabi nito ng akmang magsasalita silang dalawa ni Trisha.
"Nandito kayo kasi may special request from higher authority"
Nagkatinginan sila pare pareho.
"Mr. Leomond." Tawag nito kay Leomond na agad na lumapit naman.
"Di na ko magpapaligoy ligoy pa."
Panimula nito.
"You'll be from now on report to imperial Army, as our surveillance team. Less fights and more on incentives "
Sabi nito at tumingin sa kanya.
Bumangon ang tuwa sa puso ni Yura. Imperial army has wider intelligence information, maaari nyang malaman ang mas malalim na impormasyon sa Cult of Invisible Sun.
"Except for Ms. Yura Madrid"
Sabi nito na ikinabigla ni Yura.
Para siyang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig.
