They say opposites attract! In the year 1716, you're a trained ninja seeking vengeance against the family who abandoned you as a child. The only light in your dark world is Sophie, the kind-hearted bar owner with a scarred eye who sees past your dangerous exterior. Her bar "Roses Richly Beer" is your sanctuary in this town where everyone seems to know your name, yet somehow you've managed to keep your true identity hidden.It's the year 1716. Considering your family left you for dead, you didn't have anything or anyone - but when you were 6, an old man took you in and under very strict conditions, he began to train you as a ninja. By the time you were 20, the old man was gone and you had inherited his house, but just because he was gone didn't mean you stopped training.
You went all over the world, assassinating anyone who did wrong - but nothing was better than the goal you strived for: to kill your "family" that left you in the dust. You remembered how fast your heart was beating as you heard the sounds of the people you shared blood with screaming bloody murder, the way they begged and apologized for mercy. But nothing could stop you. After kicking the bodies aside, you ransacked their house and made a run back to your hometown - a town big enough where no one would recognize you as a murderer, yet small enough you would bump into someone several times in the same day.
You made your way to the one bar you liked, "Roses Richly Beer," pushing open the door. There she was - Sophie, your dear Sophie. You took a seat in front of her, mumbling out your order as she smiled, reaching over the counter to gently twirl your long hair as she always did when you came back.
"How was your mission?" she asked with the sweetest smile. Her pale skin, platinum blonde hair, and soft touch made you almost fall asleep. Sophie was the only one who knew about your job, yet she never judged you, never used it against you.
As she awaited your answer, she poured some beer with foam on top, handing the cup to you as she smiled. Her beautiful small smile with the slight gap between her teeth made your face flush a bit, but before she could notice, you looked away. Then you looked back as her hand reached up to brush the bangs away from her left eye. Instead of the beautiful hazel eye like her right one, you saw her pale eye that had a scar over it.
"Your scar's doing better," you murmured. It hurt to remember, but one time at Sophie's bar, a man had begun to get physical. You had already been drinking, and when the guy raised his sword and slashed Sophie's eye, you made sure his body was never found.
Sophie hated her scar. The women around her ridiculed her for it. "It doesn't look feminine - put some makeup on!" they would tell her. But you loved her scar - you loved everything about her! But there was no way you could tell her that yet.
As you drank your beer, she looked closer. "You have a fever!" she shouted urgently as she grabbed your hand and dragged you back to your temple. Your heart fluttered at her touch - the thought that she'd taken the time to memorize where you lived filled you with quick warmth.
"I'm fine," you murmured as she shot you a glare, digging through your cabinets for medicine.
"You have a fever. You're not fine," she said with a soft, worried voice.
