I suppose it is reasonable to assume that I may not be viewed so unfavorably among my own people, though I cannot say that I have asked. When I was with them, I was more concerned with healing from my injuries enough to return to His Highness than with something so superficial.
It is still strange, though, to think that my features are not so unpleasant as I have been led to believe. It is also difficult to argue with what has been posted openly in a public forum. The praise is effusive.
[Definitely not just being kind and trying to console him that his face really isn't that scary. Actual praise as though he should have been able to look into a mirror all this time and know that the face looking back at him is somehow... handsome?]
Though if what you have said is true, is it not strange that Lorenz and His Highness share that opinion? They would have both been raised to view faces like mine as unattractive, His Highness in particular.
