"Don't worry. I am just fine. So you want to know about your own background? The fact that Liu Qian hasn't told you yet surprises me. If you are so curious, you must have already asked a few others, and all of them have probably given the same answer. It is not my secret to tell. Let me just give you one hint though. The reason that I cannot tell you is that the information is tabboo. By none other than the royal family itself. It is not an existence that you can afford to mess with yet. You should just calm down and go your own way." she said.

"It is declared taboo by the royal family? This goes all the way to the top?" I was shocked.
