Sylvia's POV:

"Why don't you just tell Rufus that the head maid is belittling you?" Yana asked in confusion.

I walked around the long corridor and paused. "If I complain to him, it will only make people look down on me even more."

"I don't think so. If they see that Rufus is protecting you, who will dare to bully you?" Yana said playfully.

"It's not that simple." I continued to walk forward aimlessly, feeling more and more depressed. 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. And when I am no longer useful to him, I will be thrown away." I smiled wryly as my heart had already sobered up.

"What should we do then?" Yana asked anxiously.

Where are you going?" "I'm going to the banquet," I answered casually and lowered my head.

"Dear, do you know how to get there?"

"What?"

Yana's question brought me back to my senses. It was only then that I realized that I had got lost. I was in the middle of nowhere, and there were no guards around. The sky was already slightly dark, and the wind was cold. The lights on both sides were dim, and the shadows of the trees under the eaves were swaying, giving off a sense of gloom.

I walked back. But the identical arched doors made me feel like a fly that couldn't find its
