Page Two:

The King said he likes me because I am quiet and never speak. I have never been complimented by anyone before. The Head Priestess and the Holy Maids were not able to speak to me much. When the Head Priestess taught me to read, that was the only time I would hear her speak. Even then she did not praise me.

So hearing this praise from the King makes me feel very special.

However, he did say that my eyes were strange and that I should not look at him as much.

How are my eyes strange? They are only a bit darker than other people. The doctor said this is perfectly normal for someone who has lived in darkness for so long.
