"Hello, Han. And who might this be?"
The woman standing beside Han was about 1.60 meters tall. Her body was flawless in the eyes of any being. Her straight hair was a blend of blond and brown tones, with every strand perfectly complementing her face.
Her fair skin and slightly upturned nose gave her an air of arrogance, but this impression was quickly dispelled by her cheerful eyes and subtle smile. Kayden had seen many beautiful women before, but she easily ranked among the most stunning he had ever encountered. Her soul...
It was pure, the likes of which he had rarely seen in his lifetime—a being devoid of ego. She did not live for appearances, but... she seemed to carry great sorrow, a multitude of small burdens weighing on her soul. She was like a ticking time bomb waiting for the right moment to explode. Yet, until that moment arrived, she shone brilliantly, like the deepest star in the universe.
"She is my apprentice. Her name is Julia," Han said.
