The White Curse (Gazellian Series #2)

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

"We have that, Gazellians have that." King Dastan said with finality.

"You've witnessed how our father gave his love for Dana, kahit hindi ito ang itinakdang babae sa kanya. What more if we found our real mate? You won't expect us to back out now Cora, we're willing to help Finn no matter what." Mahabang sabi ni Caleb.

"They're not gonna back out, Cora. Now tell, I won't run now and I am willing to take the risk. I hid everything from Kalla, because all I thought was your mother was a dead end. But I was wrong, my brothers are right. I need to try, I need to fight." Nagsalita na rin si Finn.

"I resembled a lot of my father, I'll talk to her. Please tell us Cora." Mahinahong sabi ni Casper.

"I don't know, hindi ko alam. I am telling you the truth."

"Tell us please,"

"Cora, please tell them. I am also a Gazellian, I am willing to do everything for Lumina. Alam kong ito rin ang nais ni Finn." Nagsalita na rin si Haring Tiffon.

Marahang lumapit si reyna Lumina at hinawakan nito ang kamay ni Cora.

"Tell us Cora, where is your mother? If she's hiding from everyone, here in this world she can have her freedom." Paliwanag ng reyna.

"She can also have her freedom inside my empire, ipinapangako ko." Muling nagsalita si Haring Dastan.

Bumuhos muli ang mga luha ni Cora sa harapan naming lahat.

"I am telling you the truth, hindi ko alam. Hindi ko alam! It was years when she tried to reach me. It was years, hindi na naulit. No mother how good your offers, no matter how I want to claim it for my mother, wala akong magawa. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan siya sa mga oras na ito. Kalla, I'm telling the truth." Nagsusumamo ang mga mata nito sa akin.

"S-She's telling the truth. H-Hindi niya alam, please don't pressure her." Lumaglag ang balikat ng mga Gazellian sa sinabi ko.

We can't pressure someone for the answer that she didn't even know.

"What now? Saan tayo magsisimulang maghanap?" Zen asked.

"We look for the remaining towers? We only used the same tower that you used to live with, Kalla." Sagot ni Finn.

"There were seven towers and two were already down. We used Kalla's, so we need to find remaining four." Nagsalita muli ang prinsipe ng mga nyebe.

"But are you expecting that the goddess can be easily be found to those remaining towers?" tanong ni Haring Tiffon.

"You can't find her just like that." Agad na sabi ni Cora.

"Before we got here, I asked Casper to searched for the remaining towers." Lahat kami ay nagulat sa sinabi ni Haring Dastan.

"This isn't a shotgun journey, we made plans before barging into this world." Patuloy nito. "And Casper just found out something." Sa pagkakataong ito kay na kay Casper na ang lahat ng aming atensyon.

"There were remaining five towers, including yours Kalla. But we only found four, nawawala ang isang tore. I can't locate." Umiiling na sabi ni Casper.

"Then, that's it. The goddess is hiding at the missing tower."

"Then where? Nasaan ang huling tore? According to Cora, the towers were located to every deep forest, pero wala na akong kagubatang maaari makita pa na posibleng paglagyan ng tore, kung mayroon man ay dapat matagal nang alam ito ng mga nilalang ng malapit na nabubuhay dito."
