These three (Rakan, Rahan, MaoMao) live up to the Ra family reputation of "Highly capable eccentric"
I also wonder how many people knew Mao Mao actual "rank".
Ra family sits quite high in the hierarchy and at least the emperor did knew that Mao Mao is Ra Kan daugther.
And Luomen is the 'normal' one. The other two (Lakou, Lahan's biological father; and Lahan's Older Brother) , tho being more 'ordinary', are no different from Maomao, Lakan and Lahan
Thank you very much for the detailed and informative Translator's Note at the end. It gives important context that simply cannot be conveyed organically in other languages. I wish notes like that were more common.
