Craig froze.

His swollen left cheek seemed to have dampened his air of regality.

He bore a striking resemblance to Charles. The feature that separated them was the color of their eyes.

Charles’ eyes, piercing blue like sapphires, made him look like a foreign prince. He was handsome with an air of mystery about him.
