Chapter 11 - Hope - 11

Danny watched Jasmine helplessly as she made him turn around multiple times in search of wounds that weren't there . 

" See , not even a scratch , can we stop it now you are making me feel like a court dancer " 

" People took you out of a wall covered in blood , do you know how terrified I was when they carried you in ? " 

Danny used one of his large hands to pat Jasmine's head lightly making her blush like a ripe peach . One side is a hulking man with shoulder length hair and the other in a petite maiden , two very different people somehow look harmonious standing together . 

" I know , I won't make you worry for me again " 

" Really ? " 

" Of course , by the way do you know who swung that door ?" 

" Ah , that , I am not sure , my friends told me he was taken to the cells so he shouldn't be a nobility " 

" A pity , do tell me if you see him again " 

" What are you planning ? " 

Seeing the worry in Jasmine's eyes Danny knew he finally had someone to protect , too bad he isn't capable enough to keep this budding love . 

" Nothing , I just want to share some ideas and " experiences " with him " 

The experience he is talking about is getting covered with a potato sack and then pound like wet flour , Danny doesn't remember what happened but Jasmine told him somebody opened a door in his face . By profession he is a butcher with a low status among the servants so people like to push him around , he doesn't resist in the morning because he needs this job , in the evening things are different , he takes a healthy sip of Lager , picks up the trusty sack hiding under his bed and goes out for a walk . There has been many cases of officials found black and blue in the alleys of the imperial capital , when asked they all blame some ghost with a third hand , over time it became a legend frequenting the pubs . Those scholars tend to have high noses along with a general disdain for the lower classes that's why everyone under the prime minister has been in his sack at least once , he wanted to go for the prime minister just for the record too bad he hasn't wronged him till now . 

" AI MACHETE , GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THE KITCHEN " 

" I should get going  " 

Saying so Danny saw a mosquito flying above Jasmine's head , intending to squish it between his hand and the wall Danny leaned forward . Jasmine saw Danny come closer so she prepared for a hug although being hugged in front of all her colleagues  will damage her reputation , she is ready for it , the time she spent with Danny told her how stubborn of a man he is , in a crowd of cowards only his spine never bends . 

As he went for the kill Danny's heartbeat sped up , the world slowed down as his hand crashed into the mosquito , then it went through the wall , the whole infirmary was petrified by this spectacle so was Jasmine . 

Realizing her error Jasmine turned red all over and ran out of the infirmary after kicking Danny in the foot .
