Chapter 66 - The Wild Marmalade

*Creak*

The sound of a curtain being rolled wakes Zio from his deep sleep. The faint glitters of the sun's ray that went straight into his eyes rendered him blinded. He wanted to cover his eyes with his hands but was unable to do so, as his body simply won't listen to his command.

" Nngh... "

Zio's groaning is heard by the maid that was tasked to attend to him. Thus, she immediately went to inform the doctor. The wounded man can hear the maid rushing through the door, but as he is powerless to do anything, so he decided to lay down a little bit longer instead.

" Well look at that... finally back to the world of the living, eh? "

A woman standing at the door, smoking her pipe so pro like she was breathing. Knowing that Zio still couldn't move even the tiniest bit of his muscles except for some part of his face, she approaches him to tend to his unspoken questions.
