She continues to resist to the brink, contemplating, "If he weren't of high status, I'd kick his groin... though there's nothing to kick," and "Should I resign myself to it as an order, or flee for the sake of my dignity...!" It was a pitiful yet endearingly cute episode 10, with Maomao disliking it much like a small cat.
