[i]Oh no, it doesn’t work![/i]

Myrtle could only watch with exasperation as one by one, the adventurers she had made her passionate speech to left. 

[i]Aah, my charisma check failed! I knew I shouldn’t have done that![/i]

In the end, only a small portion of them remained. And she wasn’t sure whether they were there because they agreed with her words or they were simply curious to see the conclusion to the incident.

And then the Titan woman spoke, insulting her heartfelt plea to the masses. How dare she!

"H-hey, I was just trying to help! I'm not like you who hit a man just because he stared!" Oh, she was not going to let her have the high ground!

The Titan woman then walked away, seemingly done with the conversation.

"Yeah, that's right! Keep running!" Myrtle smirked, folding her arms in a victory pose. She won the argument! Why else would she leave?

Now, only two men remained — the PC the woman argued with and the NPC who was still out cold on the ground.

"Hmm, you got a point." Myrtle tilted her head. "Well, let's test it!" She clasped her hands together and smiled. "We have a live NPC here after all!"

She walked over to the unconscious man and crouched, before shaking his body back and forth. "Hey, Mister! Wake up! You’re not dead, are you? Oh, please tell me you’re not! Or else I’ve been touching a corpse and that’s just… eww!”

“Miss, is something the matter?”

She looked up and saw that Azure had opted to approach her. It seemed she wasn’t content in just staying back and letting her mistress be involved in whatever situation was happening right now.

[i]Oh, what an adorable, loyal maid! There’s no way she cannot be sapient! She acts like a real maid perfectly![/i]

Myrtle stood up and rested her hand on her shoulder.

“Look! Here’s my maid, Azure! Azure, tell him that you’re perfectly sapient, just like me and him!”

The maid cocked her head to the side. “Excuse me, Miss? Whatever do you mean?”

“Sapient! It means you’re a thinking, knowing being! Look, just introduce yourself to him!” Myrtle pointed at the standing man. “Tell him your backstory while you’re at it! Your past before you work for me!”

The maid turned to look in his direction. She sighed. She had no idea what her mistress was thinking. Still, if it was her order, then it would only be proper for her to do it.

“Greetings.” She gave a curtsy. “My name is Azure. Azure McMillon. I was born as a daughter of a prostitute, before being sold off to a servant agency where I took my lessons in this occupation. When I was of age, and ready to work as a maid, I was purchased by my mistress here.”

Myrtle’s smile vanished.

[i]Wait, what did she just say?[/i]

[i]That backstory… that wasn’t in the game at all! And it was so dark too! She was born as a prostitute’s daughter and then sold off as a child slave by her own mother! And then I—[/i]

[i]I… I…[/i]

[i]Oh God…[/i]

[i]I had bought a slave![/i]
