When Arthur talked about ointment, Veronica responded with a glare, "I don't want to." 

"What?" Arthur focused on her face.

Veronica repeated her words. "I said I don't want to." She pushed him back and said, "These marks are the symbol of my hard work. I've traveled places, I've learned sword fights, I've saved people, I've fought for injustice. I got these marks from those incidents. This is my achievement. I don't want to remove it."

"You… fought? Sword fight?" Arthur stared at her. His eyes said he couldn't imagine her fighting with people using swords.

Veronica sneered when she saw his reaction. "In your eyes, I'm nothing but a weak, troublemaker with no sense of danger. You think I'm naïve, stupid, and worthless. I can't even blame you for thinking that."
