"Her eyes!" a man shouted, pointing at Shuyin. "What the fuck is wrong with her eyes?"
The observation rippled through the crowd like wildfire.
"They're glowing!"
"Is that some kind of trick?"
"Those aren't human eyes, look at them! They're like a reptile's!"
"What the hell happened to the Princess?"
"Last time she was here, she was normal! What is she now?"
The whispers grew louder, speculation and shock spreading through the spectators. Some leaned forward for a better look, morbid fascination overriding their initial surprise. Others pulled back slightly, some primal instinct warning them that something was fundamentally wrong with what they were seeing.
Guard Chen noticed the crowd's reaction and moved closer to the cage, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Shuyin's glowing jade eyes with its vertical reptilian pupil. "What the fuck?" he muttered to Guard Wu. "Her eyes weren't like that before, were they?"
