In Royal Falls, that's what Zace is called by many- disconnected rulers and fanatic subjects

Zace has scars

Many of them

He feels disgusted by them and angry at what happened to him, doing anything he can to feel beautiful

However some people don't seem to understand that

They romanticize and glamorize him and his scars, pointing them out and asking about them all the time

By bringing attention to the scars - by pinning them as the soul reason of his beauty - it only works to make him feel worse
