"Is there a problem?" Evangelin's quiet voice echoed in the hallway, breaking the brief silence that had formed after the door opened.
Daniel just looked at her for a few seconds.
The golden light of the mana lamps in the hallway shone on Evangelin's hair, casting a soft shadow on her face. Without her veil, her face looked very different; not because of her unusual beauty, but because for the first time, there was no distance between her and the world.
She no longer looked like an untouchable saint. Just Evangelin.
"No... I'm just not used to seeing your face without a veil." Daniel finally said.
In the tower, he had also seen Evangelin without a veil the entire time, but that young Evangelin was very different from this mature Evangelin. Two completely different auras and temperaments.
And this one seemed otherworldly.
Evangelin was silent for a few moments.
"If it bothers you, I can put it back on." Then she said quietly.
