ʻO nā manaʻo kānalua a i ʻole nā moʻolelo pohihihi e wehe ʻiʻo i kahi mea maoli i hōʻike mua ʻia ʻia me he mea ʻokoʻa loa i ka hopena. E pili ana i ka ʻōniu ʻana i ka tinsel e hiki ai i nā papa hou kahi e hoʻokau ai ka pouli. ʻO Jerónimo Tristante Hāʻawi ʻo ia i ke kumu o ka hemo ʻana i nā huapalapala a me nā kūlana i loko o kahi kaiaulu i hana i kēlā me kēia lā masquerade. ʻAʻole hauʻoli nui nā poʻe āpau i nā kaiāulu elitist e hōʻike ʻia iā mākou (kekahi ʻano like me Altorreal, ma Murcia he mea kūpono wale nō ia), ʻaʻole hoʻi he aloha e like me ka makemake e hōʻike.
ʻO nā ʻokoʻa maʻalea (eia kahi pilina tangential hoihoi me nā ʻano like ʻole ʻatikala e pili ana i nā ʻokoʻa), e kaha i ka palena ma waena o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e pono ai. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, nā helehelena ma ke ʻano he nohona i kahi nohona kaiapuni kahi āu e like me kāu.
Nā huapalapala i hoʻokau ʻia e hōʻike i ka ostentation mai ka mea i ka manaʻo hohonu loa. Wale, ua ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hūnā i kahi mea huna nui mau loa, i ke ala like ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kahi ʻelepani ʻākala ke noi ʻia ʻoe e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kahi ʻelepani ʻākala.
He aha e pili ana iā Jerónimo Tristante a me nā moʻolelo e pili ana i nā wahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia he ʻano i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i kāna puke mua «ʻAʻoheʻoi loa«. A ʻoiai ka ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa o nā hoʻonohonoho o nā puke ʻelua i ko mākou neʻe ʻana mai Pyrenees a i kahi noho kiʻekiʻe o ka papa kiʻekiʻe, ʻike mākou i kekahi mau ʻano like e pili ana i kekahi mau huapalapala.
Hoʻokuʻu ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo iā mākou, akā nō naʻe. A ma ka liʻiliʻi, i nā puke, ua hoʻokō ʻia kēia manaʻo no ka mea ma ke ʻano he poʻe heluhelu āpau i hiki ke hele aʻe mai kekahi ʻaoʻao o ke aniani pae i kekahi ʻē aʻe, i ka helu i hāʻawi ʻia e ka mea haʻi moʻolelo, ʻae.
No laila, ke ʻike nei i nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua e lawelawe i mua i ka pōʻino, e ʻike ai i nā kumu hope loa i kanu ʻia i kipaku ʻia mai ka lili, ka haʻaheo, ka mana palena ʻole. Ma nā kaiāulu i wae ʻia o kēia moʻolelo, ʻike mākou i nā mea i hoʻopilikia ʻia i ka hoʻopunipuni i nā mea āpau mai nā pilina pilikino a lele i loko o ka politika.
ʻO Gelen, ke hoalauna hou ka ʻenekini e hoʻomaka i nā mea āpau. Makemake ʻo ia e ʻike i ka lole holoi lepo o nā kamaʻāina he nui o Altorreal.
I ka hopena, ua komo ka moʻolelo i kahi ʻāina ʻano ʻē o ka kānalua. ʻAʻole kahi hihia paʻa akā ke kumu nui o nā mea huna. Ke aʻo nei ʻo Gelen i nā kikoʻī hou aʻe o kekahi mau huapalapala, mahalo i kona mākaukau i ke kau ʻana iā lākou i nā kaula, pau ka haʻi ʻana mai kā lākou hele ʻana a me kā lākou palaho i kā lākou pili ʻē.
A no laila, ʻoluʻolu mākou i kahi kuhi suspenseful kikoʻī piha ʻia me nā mea ʻē ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kēia hōʻiliʻili o nā pili ʻeleʻele. Makaʻu mākou iā Gelen a hauʻoli i kēlā me kēia mea i loaʻa hou i loko o kahi modus operandi nui.
I ka manawa like, ka wehe ʻana o kēlā huina o nā wahaheʻe, nā hapa huna huna o ka pono a me ka lawehala kolohe e kono iā mākou e ʻimi i nā mea kōkua i hele pinepine ʻole ʻia i kahi mea haʻalulu. Ma muli o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o kēlā me kēia huna, kahi ʻōpala mai kēlā tinsel aʻu i kuhikuhi mua ai i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ao mokumoku, kahi kaiāulu kahi e ʻālohilohi ai nā hale ʻoiai ʻaʻole kākoʻo ʻia nā hale i kā lākou mau kia i piholo i ka honua neʻe.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēia puke iā Secretos, ka puke hou na Jerónimo Tristante, ma aneʻi:
