Lady Tala originally dared not imagine it, but when the Eighth Prince appointed her, it was indeed a great honor.
Now, in the back courtyard, she is openly favored.
But only she knows that, although she often serves the Eighth Prince, there is actually little intimacy.
The Eighth Prince probably values her for her good service.
Yet if she were to tell this to others, no one would believe her.
Of course, she is willing to follow him; being able to be with the Eighth Prince is such a wonderful thing, there's no reason to refuse.
But in her heart, there's a faint unease.
The Eighth Prince doesn't truly like her, it's just habit. But being in prominence like this inevitably offends the Chief Fujin and Consort Fujin.
The Consort Fujin is not worth mentioning; she's probably already offended, and deeply so.
After these few months of leaving, she might also offend the Chief Fujin.
Alas.
