Chapter 8: Ask...
"How is your day miss Zoey?" Joe asked as he smiled at me.
This is my first time seeing this man. He stand at less than 6 feet with his short messy black messy hair wearing a brown leather armor and pants. It seems he just got back from hunting as the scratches in his face arw still fresh. His face is not that handsome like Prince Jack but like a mature man if not for his attitude I already think his a bit older than me like 10 years. His skin tells you that he has been out in the field for so long as some light sunburn are visible.
As he smiles his face turns to a shock as he stared at me.
"What is it?" I asked as to why he make that face.
He suddenly shook his head before he replied. "No its nothing miss. I just.. at first I saw you I thought she was pretty. Now your looking in your eyes.. They are not that bluish like the rest but fainter almost like.. Wait, You can see me?" I suddenly blushed a little as he began to praise me but then he realized that I can see as of now.
"Its not that I am born blind. I was cursed blind by a chaos remnant. I don't know if you heard it but there was one that appeared not too long ago." I explained as I think for the first time not yelling at him.
"Oh.. That I heard. It was in the guild update a month ago. It was the first remnant poster that appeared and made it to one of the Extreme Caution panel." After that he then walk closer at the edge of his balcony and leaned looking at me.
"I can't believe that monster can also cast a curse how scary. I'm glad you made it out alive." He smiled.
"I think it might be better if I died..." I suddenly spoke out of my mind I remembered Jack and Jenny. He was shocked at my words that seems to made him stopped smiling and looked at me seriously.
"Miss.. I don't know what made you say that but just because you are cursed doesn't mean hell." Joe said as he changed his joyful tone.
"Yeah?! What do you know? How people around you stopped treating you nice just because you become useless!! Have you ever know the things that I have suffer!!" I yelled as I vent my anger on him. I didn't mean to yell at him like that but somehow the words that I want to shout that I keep within me was made out.
"I hate this!!! Why do I have to suffer. Why do people treat me this way!!! Why do they do his kind of things to me. I hate everything. I hate this curse!!! This me that is useless!!!" I started crying as I stand and yelled with the anger at my heart to the man I barely know. My eyes began to darken again and my chest starting to hurt as clench it with my hand. Joe was silent. I don't know if he's gone since I closed my eyes already.
*thug* I heard a sound that came from my balcony. I tried to look but my vision was gone what happens next was... Warmth. I felt warmth as I was suddenly hugged. Its body is hard as leather and smells a little sweat but I didn't mind and continued to cry. Arms that was just right and a bit muscular wrapped around me as I burrowed my face on his chest.
"J-Joe?"
"Miss.. I don't know you but I know you are a good person. You are not wrong. You are not wrong."
Deb and Vina watched the whole thing at the window. Seeing their Misstress broken made their heart sad. Who is miss Zoey? They ask. Before she was cursed she knew all the names of the maid in the mansion. Her family before they died was a master every servant want to serve. She never treated them like the most of the nobles. She laugh with them and speak with them like a family. That's right like a Family. Seeing how Joe jumped to th eir balcony and hugged her they too can't helped it an ran towards them and supported Zoey with a hug.
"Miss Zoey" The two ran. "We are also here. We are here." That night they cried with their mistress.
"*sniff* Thank you Joe.. and I'm sorry I yelled at you." Zoey calmed down and stands at her door facing Joe.
"Don't worry miss just doing my job." Joe became his old lively self again seeing Zoey calmed down in his eyes.
"Don't ever wish to die miss.."
"Thank you.."
"Without a pretty girl like you I will be lonely here in the balcony you know. I was never hugged before especially with three women. Hahahaha"
"Ha.ha." Suddenly Zoey's hand began to produce a water swirling around it.
"Sir Joe?"
"What is it miss?"
(Water vortex)
*Thug*
"Ugghhh...." Joe suddenly was punched by Zoey and blasted out the balcony.
"Don't you know your trespassing!!! Be grateful!!! I'm a good person. I'll let it go once."
Zoey then closed the door with a little smile on her face. The two maids follow suit laughing as they saw Joe blasted with the swirling water falling into the streets.
"Glad I could help. Glad I could help."
Joe smile as he stands up.
"Ouch... That miss should know how to control against commoners." Joe then walks to his house limping with a smile.
Not far from their location. Fiore and her brother saw the entire scene. Fiore couldn't visit Fiore as they went to the capital a few days ago due to the accident she caused. It was just a small matter but the prince seems to be offended greatly. Although she didn't want to she went and gave an apology to not make things bigger.
"Lets go home for today brother."
"Yeah.. I guess we should."
