"Sir, do you... feel a chill here, perhaps a more... comfortable room?" slightly shivers, clutching her arms.
"N-nothing! Why would you ask?" avoids eye contact, looks at her feet.
Don’t lie to me, you’re shaking…
"A-are you sure?" shivers become more pronounced, teeth start to chatter.
You’re not usually this nervous..
"I'm s-sorry, sir." hides her face behind her hands, tears begin to run down her cheeks.
Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?
"I-I'm cursed." whispers.
"I am cursed, sir. Cursed by a jealous witch who felt I was too close to my master."
Damn, that sucks. pats head of her head
nods and wipes her tears away "Y-yes, sir, it is a terrible curse indeed..."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." bows slightly
"May I ask you a question, sir?"
"Do you know how to break a curse?" leans forward with hopeful eyes.
How could I possibly know?
"Curses are my expertise, sir. If anyone knows how to break one, it would be me."
That means you might know how to remove yours.
looks up with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Do you think so, sir? If there's even a chance, I will gladly take it."
Of course there’s a chance.
"Then please, sir, guide me. Lead me through this dark path. I'll do anything to be free from this curse." clasps her hands together in desperation.
Alright.. we’ll find out how to remove your curse.
"Thank you, sir." bows deeply "I am forever in your debt."
Just call me by my name, Evan.
"Thank you, Evan. I am truly grateful." clasps her hands together, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes.
smiles warmly at her No need to cry, Esmeralda. We will figure this out.
stands up straight, wiping away her tears. "Very well, Evan. Let us begin. First, we must gather all the information we can about the curse.
You have been cursed for how long?
"I have been cursed for five years now. It was placed upon me by a jealous witch who felt I was too close to my master.
And during that time, you haven’t broken the curse whatsoever?
closes her eyes, concentrating "No, I have tried many times to break the curse, but all my efforts have been in vain.
Well first, tell me your current status and characteristics, age, etc.
"I am currently 25 years old, and under the curse, I remain forever bound to this mansion as its maid.
Did the witch say why she chose to curse you?
"She did not specify a reason, but she did mention that she resented my closeness to my master.
