Hana Yun (Part 2)

Sehyun Wang snapped out of her daze, worried that her beloved might misunderstand.

She hurried to explain, "I simply appreciate beautiful things and people. The rumors you've heard are unreliable. I haven't forced anyone to stay."

"I believe you. I don't see any resentment in their eyes when they look at you. However, I am curious about something," Amalia said.

"Please ask. If I can answer, I will," Sehyun Wang replied, relieved by her words.

"You love beauty, so when you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, why didn't you sculpt yourself with a more beautiful face?"

Sehyun Wang breathed a sigh of relief, clearly well-prepared for this question.

"Because I didn't want to change the face my parents gave me. It's their gift to me, a blessing that reminds me I am unique."

"I see," Amalia noted, observing how some people nearby gazed at Sehyun Wang with admiration as she spoke.
