"THE LOST PRINCESS of the Fontanillas, what a pleasant surprise." Wika ko habang nag-iikutan kaming dalawa, naghihintayan kung sino ang unang susugod at aatake.

"I'll kill you to secure my freedom once I present your head to them!" nanggigigil nitong saad sa kanya.

I was shocked how fast and transparent Helena na hindi ko na kailangan pang itanong pa sa kanya. I gritted my teeth because of what she said. Ibig sabihin, nakatali pala ang kalayaan nito ngayon kaya nito nagagawa ang mga bagay na 'to?

Since she doesn't know who am I and I am certain of that, time to dig into the secrets while I am stalling.

"You are targeting me, that means, you know the rumors that I am supporting your... family?" I asked.

"You are supporting my family? If that's true, then why am I here?!!!" sigaw nito sa'kin as if may malay na ako at parte ng organisasyon ng mga panahong 'yon.

That also means na hindi ito nag-research about me being the Hara. Mas matanda siya sa'kin, malamang hindi ko pa siya mapoprotektahan ng mga panahon na 'yon dahil hindi pa naman ako Hara sa mga panahong inakala ng pamilya ko na patay na siya.

Or is this her way to dig the truth of my identity?

"What happened to you has nothing to do with me. I'm helping your family without them knowing so don't blame me." I replied.

"Because of you... I didn't live like a normal person! I wasn't able to be a mother to my child! And it's all because of you!!!"

As much as I want to re-enact the iconic 'Bat parang kasalanan ko' tagline, I rolled my eyes instead but my attention has gone back when she attacked me.

I flawlessly dodged her attacks while making sure that my mask won't be removed. Her hand attack gestures were trying to remove my mask but at the same time, she wants to slash me with the dagger she was holding at.

Her moves are... amateur. Can easily dodge and be too slow. I've had enough of this so I immediately turn the table and all she expected was to see herself being pinned to the ground.

"Who ordered you to kill me?" mariin kong tanong rito habang pinipilipit ang braso nito patalikod.

Helena groaned in pain because I am putting too much force on holding her.

"And why would I tell you?"

I hissed because I don't want to use this card on her, but the situation permits me. "You said it yourself, you have a child, it would just be a piece of cake for me to locate the kid and use him or her against you."

Bakas sa mukha ng kanyang kapatid ang pagkagulat at pagkataranta, she probably regrets now that she mentioned her child to me.

"You bitch, don't you dare!"

"Then, tell me!"

"It's Adrianna!"

Napabitaw ako sa kanya sa aking gulat. Ang kapatid ni Troy? Ang bruhang 'yon? I hissed when I realized that she planned this fiasco! She connived with Bravo! She has all the means to use anyone!

Ibig sabihin, lahat ng siniwalat niya sa'min ay paraan niya upang i-divert ang galit sa ama nito. Then... I chuckled when I realized something. Napansin naman 'yon ni Helena na nasa ilalim ko pa rin.

"What's funny?!"

"Nakakatawa lang na ang taong nag-utos sa'yo para patayin ako ay walang iba kung'di ang nag-utos naman na ipadakip ka noong kabataan mo. In short, she's the one who ruined your life." Siwalat ko rito.

The first negotiation was about saving Rolando's life. Adrianna has all the reason to do that and probably her father agreed to it dahil ayaw rin ng matanda na mapahamak ang anak nito sa labas. Adrianna made a deal to save Rolando but the Guidotti-- the one who accepted the negotiation at that time— had different plans for Helena and kept her alive. Or... was it Adrianna's plan as well?
