I do believe if I hear another old councilman comment on the scar on my face, I will gut him on the council room floor. Men are allowed to have hideous horrible scars, as evidenced primarily by Gregor--but also many of the guards and soldiers have scars--facial or otherwise. I do not see why it should be different for me--the queen. I believe it gives me power. I survived what happened, and I will continue to survive. Those old men have only minor knife scars on their fingers--proving they no longer do anything other than sit and argue over trivial things. Scars are a sign of power and survival, and I will not have anyone tell me that I am less for them. I will be a just and right queen, and better this world that was left to me. And no one will stand in my way.
