Suddenly, it was very quiet at the church. The old man put his hand on a gravestone. He looked at Paxton's face. His eyes were cold

'You aren't from Seaburgh,' he said. 'Go back to your hotel. Don't think about the crown again.'

The old man didn't listen. He walked away from Paxton and from the church.
'What did I say?' Paxton asked. Only the wind listened to him. Then he looked down at the gravestone.
