The artstyle makes the mirror looks much older, he looks around 20 lucia_luce
He looks older in the novel, too, but when he comes out, he's a kid. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Anyway, it's magic, an appearance he chose, and he was playing tough (and expecting to die). Why would he want to look like a snot-nosed brat instead of something more dignified?
So my name is "Blanche" and it feels weird that I keep reading my name in this story
Also I ship abigail and verite (the mirror) more than abigail and sabelain or whatever that king's name is lol
