Ugly

Meanwhile...

Fabian stared at Maxine curiously, sizing her up in silence. Although the latter couldn't see anymore, she was aware of how he gazed at her intensely.

"It is nice to fight you again, Fabian the Butler." She smirked, taking off her blindfold. "Remember this? My eyes still ached every time I remember you."

He stared at the deep scar from her temple across her nose bridge to the other side of her eye. It was a horrendous sight to behold and ruined her face, but he didn't show a bit of remorse in it despite that he was the one who gave that scar to her.

"I blinded you since you're already blinded," came out a calm explanation from him. "Sometimes, not seeing things can make you see clearer. But alas, it seemed the effect is opposite to you. I didn't consider that you will stay blind and took my generosity for granted."

"Tch." Maxine snickered. "Generosity? Sure, Butler. You are the most generous person in the world."
