Raelle was a little uncomfortable when she heard those words from Ru. She suddenly realized how well-protected she had been all her life. She knew about patriarchal families but she actually didn't expect the extent of their biasedness.
"Is it that bad?" she asked.
Ru gave her a look as if he understood what was on her mind and smiled charmingly, "Oh, you're a lot more innocent than people give you credit for."
"I don't think I'm innocent," said Raelle in her defense. She really didn't think she was innocent. She didn't understand why she was always given this big title.
