It seems that if it's not an official from the City Hall, then it's a local noble.
The man spoke:
"Stop crying, I've asked around for you, that Yoshude won't be back anytime soon. I heard the Pilgrim went north, maybe even to Golande. Do you expect him to get the message and come back to save you?"
"Don't be too naive, young girl. Men like to sweet talk, don't believe their nonsense. I suggest you find someone more reliable to help you. Don't you have a foster father? I heard he's been working hard around the city for you these days."
He took a small step back: "I only said these things because I pity you. Young girl, people outside call you the 'Dragon Witch,' but I don't think that. I just see you as a pitiful little girl, about the same age as my daughter."
He kept talking.
But he did not 'notice' that Fang Hong and Atira were standing not far away, quietly watching the scene. Both heard a rustling sound coming from the black cell, and a pair of pale hands gripped the bars.
