“I don‘t think so. If they see that Rufus is protecting you, who will dare to bully you?” Yana said playfully.

Then I suddenly thought of something. “Haven‘t you ever wondered how that head maid knew my background?” Yana was stunned by my question. 

“Yes… You‘re right. How did she know?” 

“I‘m afraid that the news that I’m the daughter of a traitor has already spread all over the imperial palace. No matter how Rufus defends me, I‘m just a humiliating accessory in the eyes of others.
