A few young people recognized her and came forward to talk.
Altria nodded perfunctorily.
Outside, she presented herself as a young man.
No, ever since she was born, she had been raised as a "man."
She thought so herself.
She usually wore men's clothing, tied her hair back, and mimicked the mannerisms of boys. Her identity was that of an orphan adopted by the old knight Hector, and she was still an apprentice knight who hadn't passed the assessment.
But due to her beauty, she was quite popular among the town's girls.
Her teacher Merlin was quite displeased about this, saying she stole the spotlight and caused many beautiful ladies in the town to lose interest in him, so he often demanded that she privately switch to women's clothes.
Altria looked down at her palms and chest.
