The following day some activity could still be seen within the manor. Allot of trash had been gathered from the event and from this the maids were hard at work with their cleaning.
On a corridor leading to a section of garden where the trash compactor was situated, a young girl dressed in a maids uniform was walking holding onto a trash bag almost double her size was on her way to throw the bag into the compactor. With her view blocked, she would occasionally tilt her head either to the right or to the left to ensure she would not be walking into anybody.
On the opposite side of the corridor going towards the family library, Joseph could be seen rather absentmindedly completely unaware of the imminent collision, it seemed as if he could not even see the trash carrying maid right in front of him.
"System, could give me a run down of the test yesterday please?" - Joseph asked the System, he knew he might not necessarily remember everything that would occur around him, but the System itself keeps a log of all events that he had access to.
.....
(Of course Host)
...
( Yesterday evening at approximately 6:30 pm, Host placed his palm on a crystalline object.)
...
(Unknown energy source briefly entered the Host's body, no changes were detected.)
...
(Based on testing results, the host has obtained several qualifications)
...
(Qualifications have been added to the Hosts's status)
...
(8:30 pm, hostility towards the Host was detected, source unknown, threat scan failed)
...
(7:30 am, collision imminent)
.....
Joseph looking at the log was confused towards who could possibly have any hostility towards himself and what confused him even more was that last line... collision imminent? Wait that time stamp, wasn't that now?
As he focused in on his surroundings, directly in front of him was a trash bag towering over him, as he was going to try and dodge, he found it to be far too late.
The collision occurred rather abruptly sending both parties to the ground, the trash bag fell to the ground and from the force a rip had appeared on the bag and it grew.
As the young maid managed to prop herself and shake the stars out of her vision, a ghastly expression appeared on her gentle face. "Oh my lord, the rubbish it's everywhere. What nitwit was not looking at where they were walking?" - Mumbling to herself in annoyance, she started to look around her and found a handsome young man still laying on the floor.
She was going to give me a piece of her mind, after getting up she approached the person still on the ground as she got closer the figure on the ground started open his eyes only to find a young maid standing before him with an angry expression pasted on her face.
"Oh I'm sorry miss, I was walking a bit absentmindedly." - The sincerity and the words spoken by Joseph had startled the young maid.
When she got a closer look at the person who she had crashed into, her face paled in fright, this person before her was the young master of the family. the trash she was carrying out was from this young master's testing ceremony help last night.
Very quickly all her anger vanished as she awaited for her punishment, she lowered her head and managed to let slip a few stuttering words from her pale lips. - "I.. I am so... sorry Young Master".
Looking towards this young maid changing expressions so rapidly really amazed Joseph.
"What would your name be?" - Out of curiosity Joseph inquired the young girl.
"Ann, my name is Ann." - The young maid replied biting her lower lip, the fear of punishment rising within her small body. After all young Ann had long heard of the tales of the beastly acts allot of young masters in the city perform to those of a lower class, especially the women.
Ann was most definitely concerned about her purity and the perversions the Young Master in front of her would do to her to get his revenge. But better her than her younger siblings and sickly mother to suffer for her actions. She had to protect her family as best she could, Ann would not allow anything to happen to her family.
While all manner of thoughts were going through her mind, Ann failed to see the trash from the floor disappearing. When she came back to reality all that was in front of her was the Young Master, no matter where she looked the trash was gone.
"I took care of the trash, take this and give it to your mother, it will heal her" - With a gentle smile on his face, Joseph walked past Ann placing a small bag into her hands.
After Joseph disappeared from the corridor, Ann finally looked down to see the cloth bag in her hand and the shock from what was within cause her legs to go weak and fall to the floor.
Ann recognized the pill inside the bottle to be a Greater Harmony Pill, such pills were highly sought after by those with money to spend. Why? Because the pill was one of top three pills that remove any ailment and rejuvenate the body of the consumer.
The longer Ann stared at the bottle with the pill, tears flowed down from her swollen eyes, she had never dreamed something like this happening, not only did she not get punished for the mess or crashing into the Young Master of the family she worked for, she actually got rewarded.
When the reality of what she held in her hands settled in, Anna felt something else within the cloth bag, she did not dare to guess what it could be and as she looked inside a silvery glint could be seen as a handful of silver coins were also within the bag along with the healing pill.
The shocked Ann had yet again experienced another shock, luckily her strong willed mind managed to prevent her from fainting, almost anyways. As she weakly stood up, a sudden realization dawned on her.
And turned around and went in search of the Young Master who had given her hope.
