Court of Remorse | • Scaramouche

Chapter 1

[Y/N]'s

Wandering around the small village she lives at is one of her favourite things to do. Even when she had nowhere to go most of the time. She had no friends to visit, but never miss the chance to make new friends though all of them never seemed to be genuinely interested in her.

Her parents allowed her more freedom after seeing her recovery from that 'unknown sickness' going well. She started to learn about herbs and knows how to treat injury but exception for broken bones, of course. The village elders taught her how to do the basics and what herbs is most effective.

That is her life. Her definitely boring life. She wanted nothing more than to travel outside of Seirai Island again. Today there isn't anyone she needed to treat, nothing better to do than walking around.

Humming a melody she doesn't know anything of while taking each step carefully, [Y/N] suddenly saw a figure of a man that doesn't seem to be familiar at all around here. Not to mention the man also wore a ridiculously big size of hat.

The man looks young too, maybe only a little older than her? There are houses around if anything happens she can scream for help, so she decided to call for him. She really can't control her lonely self from seeking someone.

She walked over to him, the man face became more clear to see and she realize.. there is blood on his hand, his knee bruised. This wasn't what she expected when she decided to approach him.

"You doesn't look well, please follow me, I will treat your bruises and wounds."

"Do I look like I'm asking for help?"

Shock written all over her face. She never encountered someone this rude, and never wish to! How could this man decide to be arrogant despite his circumstances?

"Yes you didn't, but now is not the time to be arrogant. Let me treat your bruises before you get any infection."

"I don't need any treatment like you mortals do, let go of my hand now."

"I won't let you go anywhere if your condition didn't improve, now follow me."

Her stubbornness got the better of her, it's in her nature not to let others with injuries especially one as serious as his not to go anywhere until it got treated. Surprisingly, the man with weird hat decided to follow her time.

"Guess the pain make him let his proud self down huh"

She said but not for anyone to hear, only her.

None of them utter a word while walking to her place yet the silence isn't awkward nor loud. It's a peaceful silence. This will be her first time helping someone not from her town out, but hey is everyone outside Seirai Island so rude like him? She didn't know and maybe will never do.

"What is your name?"

"That is also not your business."

She huffed. It's not like she is forgetting the fact that this weird man is rude, but it's not wrong to try and start a conversation right?

"Hmph, tell me when you want to. I am Yuina [Y/N]. My family used to be quite well known in this village because all of my father's good deeds. But not anymore though.."

"But that doesn't mean I didn't carry my last name with pride, so just call me Yuina like the villagers do or [Y/N] if you would like to."

Is he going to respond? Or will he continue to be silent and she is indeed talking to a wall?

"Okay."

"Okay."

Then their small talks ended when it feels like it never begin in the first place. They reached in front of [Y/N]'s place and before she can invite him inside..

He fainted.

Notes :

Hi, I didn't think I would write another fiction here but hey! I guess I need to give it another shot right? I hope this story will be more well written than my previous one!
