"Ah-Excuses..What for?"
He said, getting off the horse and walking over to her house.
"Hf-"
Her eyes widened
"Y-Your highness-"
She gave a small curtsy
"Thank you, now what are the excuses for?"
"They aren't for anything...I-I don't have anything to hide-"
"Yea, I'm really not buying it. Lift up the patch please.."
"..."
She lifted it up, revealing a mangled patchwork of angry red cuts on her cheek, messing up whatever marking she'd had-some of the cuts looked newer than others...
"What the hell-"
"A-As I said...i-it isn't exactly pleasant-"
"Yea, okay, just put the bandage back on and we'll leave immediately."
"A-Alright-"
She quickly put the bandage back on. The advisor whispered to the prince
???:"Your highness...would you like us to attempt the marking test with this girl?"
(it's like a magic-y type test for reference)
