The night on the day of Duke Alfredo's visit, Jack heard the door of the dungeon being opened again.
'Didn't the duke say he will visit tomorrow morning if he agrees to help? Did he want to discuss more?' Jack thought. He heard footsteps. It was lighter steps, and also slower. It was not Duke Alfredo.
Before long, a figure appeared on the opposite side of Jack's cell. The figure was an elegant woman wearing a royal gown, Princess Sindral.
"Your Highness…," Jack greeted.
"Mister Storm Wind," the Princess greeted back. She had a lovely face, but her countenance showed sadness.
"What can I do for you, Your Highness?" Jack asked.
The princess seemed hesitant for a second. She then asked, "I've always known you as my little brother's best friend. So why…? Why do you murder Alonzo?"
"I didn't," Jack answered.
"Are you telling the truth?" Sindral asked.
"I do," Jack said firmly.
