NO MATTER WHAT TRIALS BEFALL YOU, DO NOT BE AFRAID, AND PROTECT YOURSELF. A PERSON CAN NEVER GO ON LIVING AFTER LOSING THEMSELVES. SO YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. AND SOMEDAY... YOU MUST RETURN HERE. FOR I WILL ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR YOU. DIANA! I TOLD YOU TO BRING ME WARM WATER! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ONLY BLIND, BUT HAVE YOU GONE DEAF TOO? HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP PUTTING UP WITH A USELESS GIRL LIKE YOU.... WHAT IS IT THIS TIME? HAS THE YOUNG LADY EVER HAD A REASON TO TORMENT DIANA? I SUPPOSE SHE WAS JUST IN A BAD MOOD AGAIN. That Girl, Honestly... It's Amazing She Managed To IT'S AMAZING SHE MANAGED TO ENDURE FOR SEVEN WHOLE YEARS WHILE BEING SUBJECTED TO SUCH HUMILIATION, ISN'T IT? I HEARD HER EYES WERE RUINED BY POISON THE YOUNG LADY GAVE HER, TOO. I CAN'T TELL IF SHE'S STUPID OR JUST INCREDIBLY TOUGH.... STUPID DIANA, DIANA, WHO HAS NOWHERE TO GO. DIANA, WHO CANNOT SEE WHAT LIES AHEAD. THE REASON SHE ENDURES WHILE BEING CALLED SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS IS ALMOST LAUGHABLY SIMPLE. DIANA. Madam Clara de Fier, Viscountess HERE IS YOUR SALARY FOR THIS MONTH. I'VE PUT IN A LITTLE MORE THAN BEFORE, SO CHECK IT. THE HUSH MONEY FOR KEEPING QUIET ABOUT THE YOUNG LADY'S MISDEEDS IS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL, AFTER ALL. IF I CAN JUST HOLD OUT A LITTLE LONGER... I THINK I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO RETURN HOME.

TONIGHT... MAKE YOURSELF PRESENTABLE AND COME TO THE STUDY. SHE IS MORE METICULOUS AND CAPABLE THAN ANY OTHER MAID WORKING IN THIS ESTATE. AND SHE HAS WORKED BY MY DAUGHTER'S SIDE WITHOUT CAUSING ANY TROUBLE FOR SEVEN YEARS. THOUGH SHE IS BLIND... MADAM AND ONE OTHER PERSON. THERE'S A PRESENCE HERE THAT I'VE NEVER SENSED IN THIS MANSION BEFORE. IT'S FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING ANYTHING. WHO ON EARTH... IS HE? THERE MUST BE A REASON YOU RECOMMEND HER. I HEARD THAT BEFORE YOU CAME HERE AS A MAID, YOU WERE IN 'HILDE'... THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A PLACE FAMOUS FOR ITS MANY BROTHELS. WHAT KIND OF WORK DID YOU DO THERE? I... MERELY... TOOK CARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE. I WASHED THEIR BODIES, CHANGED THEIR BEDDING, ORGANIZED THE BELONGINGS LEFT BEHIND BY THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND I SWEAR BEFORE GOD, I NEVER ONCE DID ANYTHING THAT WOULD BETRAY MY.... ...IN HILDE, THERE'S NO WAY THEY WOULD'VE LEFT SUCH BEAUTY UNTOUCHED. ...AS FOR THAT MATTER, I HAVE ALREADY CONFIRMED IT, BUT IF YOUR HIGHNESS WISHES, I WILL VERIFY IT ONCE AGAIN. YOUR HIGHNESS...? THE ELEGANT SCENT OF EXPENSIVE PERFUME MINGLING WITH HIS BREATH, THE SMOOTH RUSTLE OF LUXURIOUS SILK, THE ACCENT HE SPEAKS IN, AND... EVEN THE VISCOUNTESS'S EXCEPTIONALLY RESPECTFUL ATTITUDE TOWARD HIM. COULD THIS MAN BE...? BEAUTIFUL AND LOYAL, AND EVEN A BLIND MAID.... THAT UNUSUAL HAIR COLOR, TOO... YOU TRULY SEEM LIKE... A CHILD SENT BY THE HEAVENS FOR MY ELDER BROTHER. VERY WELL. I WILL- PURCHASE THIS GIRL.
