"Do you know my father?" Ireya stopped in her tracks.
"I do not know him, but indeed I've heard some things about him from the birds," the man in the cell said. "Some things you might find interesting. The birds told me that his death was no accident... oh, it seems you already know. You're smarter than many people think."
The girl neither agreed nor disagreed, only continuing, "What have you heard about my father's death?"
"He was murdered by someone he trusted."
"Sir Caroman, he was my father's dear friend."
"Yes, but Sir Caroman was not the mastermind, in fact, he was also forced," the man in the cell said as he struggled to stand, the chains clinking behind him.
"Sir Caroman only had one son, Hugo, who just turned sixteen this year. That boy was his treasure, but...boys at that age are always mischievous. About a year ago, he caused trouble in Rock Snow City and fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have."
