A Human Sitting On The King’s Lap!

When Erlos led her to the centre of the hall, everyone who had never seen her observed her. 

Thin, small and ugly—those were the words everyone agreed upon laying eyes on her. Her body was so thin it could be seen she led a harsh life, and it was probably also due to that same reason her growth was stunted, making her body's frame tiny in comparison to an average human. This point was further emphasized by her loose elf dress. 

The majority of her skin was still covered in bandages, but those exposed had visible burn scars on them. Perhaps the only redeeming point she had was that her hair was the rich colour of mahogany.

The council members frowned at the presence of the human but her presence was needed. 

'She sure is ugly. Was she tortured before coming here?' 

'Well, humans are ugly creatures so we can't expect them to look like us fairies.'
