Was Alice beautiful?
Of course she was.
Otherwise, how could she possibly be a Fate-Blessed heroine?
Even before she met Veil, she was already a natural beauty. Back then, she was still malnourished, her body not yet fully developed.
And even so, just changing into a decent outfit was enough to catch Veil's eye.
Let alone now.
These days, she stayed home all the time, diligently consuming papaya supplements in hopes of attracting more of Veil's attention.
Her figure had improved dramatically, and her temperament had undergone a quiet transformation under Veil's influence.
Most importantly, she carried a unique charm—
A kind of gentle, elegant aura that none of Derek's so-called seven Elder Sisters could match.
It was the charm of a woman who could truly be called wife material.
"You're injured? That badly?" Alice asked, lips pursed as she eyed Derek's heavily bandaged state.
Derek gave a sheepish smile. "It's not that bad. Sorry for the trouble."
