Roxanne naturally sought his recognition. Young Roxanne couldn't judge whether her father's love was wrong or not.
From the day she returned from her debutante ball, she roamed through the social circles in the capital and socialized with them. She willingly gave in to the strong, but she was arrogant to the weak. Sometimes she wanted to stop trying and give up, but she endured it.
She had to endure it because of her father's order. She thought it was her fate and value as well as her life goal.
"A moment's disgrace will bring about everlasting power."
So, she kept reciting it, believing that all her efforts would bring about her victory at the end of the day. She thought if she emerged as the final winner, she could be happy.
But at this moment, Roxanne couldn't figure out what this shame could mean for her, and she didn't want to know.
She looked at the two in front of her. She felt she might have seen some other persons, so she rubbed her eyes and checked them again.
