Sooo. I just started reading this and I'm in chapter 74... Can someone tell me why is she ...

she has to close her eyes so imagine having your eyes closed for a long period of time then open you eyes for a short period

Her power is tied to an ancient clan that was persecuted and cannibalized by the four kingdoms.. due to the fact there power and unique abilities were powerful and rare and that their blood and flesh could make people stronger or live longer..... that why she doesn’t use it a lot (that’s why the prince doesn’t want her to use it) she doesn’t want to use is kinda the same reason she could be a target but the doesn’t know where the power came from and it’s history... in China magical abilities are seen as evil things the curses and stuff like that Could get them beheaded and their whole family death especially if they are close or related to the royal family. They were very superstitious. So she probably hid her abilities for that reason

But no ones really going to know if she's using it (?) I mean there's no light or aura or sparkles that would come out of her when she uses it right? So she can use it to spy on her surroundings specially when she's alone in her room or pretending to be asleep or whatever. Hahaha. I just think that she should practice and try to learn more about her powers and use it to her advantage. She can definitely use it discreetly. Like if she's going to talk to someone secretly or going to sneak out or going to spy on another's place she can use it to check her surroundings. I jist think that she's wasting it but maybe she'll wise up and use it properly in the future.

Yeah but some of the thing she does when using it seem totally impossible like the archery competition or knowing the weapons were poisonous makes people suspect since people know that a community like that had existed before especially since she is so close to the royal family many people around them could know her origins
