i've been sitting outside of dad's office for quite some time. he asked me to follow him but something inside of me hesitated. i've always trusted my father's intuition and believed in him for everything. 

yet--lately, i can't seem to shake this odd feeling from my chest like something is conspiring against me.

"that's wonderful joseph! my little ruby will be so thrilled to hear that she'll become a future mrs. joestar!" my father crimson-rose cheered with such enthusiasm.

what was that? did i hear correctly?

the voices behind the door suddenly shut off. which must mean their conversation is over. dad's doors rapidly burst open--seeing him overflowing with joy.

"dad! is everything okay? you look like our last name!" he looked so red.

"my lovely ruby, please be reasonable when i say this," he blushed intensely. "but you are now going to be a future bride"

"WHAT!?"

"yes! isn't it so exciting! you'll be in the hands of the most powerful man in the whole world! these men are quite a catch if you ask me but me oh my your future husband is for sure a looker!" my dad threw me a thumbs up.

"father stop using slang it never suits you! and why would you offer my hand in marriage!?" i wanted to rip the skin off my face.

"sweetie, i apologize for pushing you into this. . .but money is seemingly tight right now. your other sisters have managed to marry off on their own with pretty wealthy men. and none seem to have the time to give your father a lending hand for our small kingdom"

he's right. mahogany, scarlet, autumn, and garnet haven't been very cooperative with father. i know mahogany tries her best but her husband is usually away on trips so she can't have access to any finance. autumn's husband is very lazy and forgetful so every time she brings up the subject he always responds with "i'll do it later"

scarlet and garnet on the other hand are living their dreams in beautiful mansions and with excellent husbands. their pride and tenacity got them into the 2 known kingdoms that have been there beside the joestars; the ashlands and the enricques.

"dad. . .i t-thought the joestars were impossible to get a hold of. how did you manage to get in contact with one?" my mind was boggling.

"to be honest, an old colleague of mine is a joestar himself. he offered me help many years ago when i saved his life from drinking a warm cola on a hot summer's day. he's been thankful every since. he was eager to help me in anything but i didn't accept his help right away. so i'm using it now!" 

yes but you SOLD ME!!

"i know this isn't exactly what you had in mind but. . .ever since your mother ran off years ago it's been, hard sweetie. and you've always been the most open-minded sibling among the rest of your sisters. i need you now more than ever" he pleads.

seeing dad in this state weakens me. it's the worst feeling in the world to see your father beginning to lose hope when he was such a confident outgoing soul.

"alright--i accept " i sighed.

"really ruby? will you be okay with it?" he pouted.

"of course, it's my honor to help this the family name and you dad. i'm sure whoever this joestar is will be a nice, and understanding husband--right?"
