HE FOUND SOMETHING HE WANTS TO DRAW?
SOMETHING THAT'S ALIVE?
...IT MAKES NO SENSE.
WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL HANDS,
THE PASSION OF A BOY WHO ONCE PAINTED SUCH BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
THE DAY
HIS MOTHER WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY HIS FATHER'S CONCUBINE-
HIS PASSION DIED WITH HER.
FROM THEN ON, HE ONLY DREW HIDEOUS CORPSES...
BUT HE HAS A MAID NOW?
HE'S A MAN OF SUCH CHARACTER
THAT HE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER MAIDS TO BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS HUMANS.
JUST...
WHO IS THAT GIRL...?
I-I APOLOGIZE, MASTER.
YOU'RE MAKING A LOT OF MISTAKES TODAY.
YOU WENT OUTSIDE WITHOUT PERMISSION. DID YOU COME BACK WITH SOME FOOLISH IDEA?
...NO, PLEASE WAIT FOR A MOMENT.
WHAT DID YOU DO OUTSIDE?
I WENT TO MEET AN ACQUAINTANCE WHO LIVES IN THE CAPITAL.
WHAT ACQUAINTANCE?
UHM...
I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME AND WE'RE LIKE FAMILY...
HE WAS WORRIED BECAUSE MY WORKPLACE CHANGED ALL OF A SUDDEN.
SO I REASSURED HIM AND CAME BACK.
HOW DID YOU REASSURE HIM?
...I TOLD HIM THAT MY NEW MASTER IS A VERY GOOD PERSON.
MERCIFUL AND GENEROUS...
YOU HAVE NO TALENT FOR SAYING PLEASANT THINGS.
I SINCERELY...
WHY?
DID THAT SO-CALLED ACQUAINTANCE OF YOURS TELL YOU TO SEDUCE ME?
NOT YOUR ACQUAINTANCE,
YOUR MASTER.
...I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M ONLY YOUR MAID, MASTER...
YOU'RE A PRO AT PLAYING INNOCENT.
IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH, I'LL LET IT GO.
I...
IF I DENY IT, WILL YOU LET IT GO?
...HA.
I'M NOT SURE. IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH CARE YOU PUT INTO ME.
TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES AND GET IN.
AS YOUR MASTER ORDERS.
I EXPECT PROPER RESULTS NEXT TIME.
RESULTS...
IF I DON'T DO THIS,
I...
ALRIGHT...
I WILL ONLY THINK ABOUT HOME.
THE PLACE
I’M RETURNING TO...
DIANA.
NO MATTER WHAT TRIALS BEFALL YOU, DO NOT BE AFRAID—
AND PROTECT YOURSELF.
I...
I'M NOT A CHAMBER MAID.
I'M NOT A WOMAN WHO DOES SUCH THINGS.
I'VE BEEN RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS KIND OF WORK MY WHOLE LIFE...
SURE.
YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING AWAY ALL YOUR LIFE,
BUT YOUR FINAL DESTINATION WAS ME...
IS THAT UNFAIR?
I'VE MADE A MISTAKE, MASTER.
PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
IF YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO REGAIN YOUR TRUST...
I WILL BE YOUR EARS AND HANDS.
I WILL NEVER-
I WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU.
An observer recounts how a boy who once painted beautiful pictures lost his passion when his mother was killed by his father's concubine and now paints only corpses, and expresses surprise that he now has a maid by his side. The maid, who went out without permission, says she went to comfort an acquaintance she sees as family in the capital. Her master interrogates her, implying she was sent to seduce him, and orders her obedience. The girl fearfully resists and begs for a chance to earn his trust.
