Eight years later, she disguises herself as a boy named "Alto" and joins Skulls' crew to search for Luce, but they quickly discover her gender.
That night, Armeria learns that Luce sold his treasured golden statue for money to buy her at the brothel, and she realizes that he cares for her more than he is willing to let on.
Some time later, Armeria learns that Luce possesses a map leading to the legendary "Devil's Score", a beautiful but cursed piece of music.
Armeria tries to convince Luce to find the score for her, fails, and points out that he would be able to sell it for a lot of money, changing his mind.
He has been sent to the island to find the score for an aristocrat, and uses Armeria as a hostage to get Luce to fetch the treasure for him, as the chest is booby-trapped.
The roof caves in, a falling rock triggers a booby trap of poisoned arrows, and Luce is struck protecting Armeria.
In the first chapter, Armeria was able to follow Luce and disguise herself as a man called Alto, and from there she joins captain Skull's crew.
The argument for this decision was not to let a woman loose on a small ship full of men, which implies that Armeria is already controlled by Skull, and the story shows this by having Skull treat Armeria badly and deciding everything for her for most of the story.[3](pp.
