You know, with how they glossed over her mum's death, I'd forgotten she was that kind of beauty.
This is an excellent explanation for her hidden gender - I'd gotten a bit annoyed when she never disclosed it at the start of her service with him, but I suppose there was never a right opportunity to say "I'm not male BTW".
Sad that for all her effort to avoid being noticed as a fine ass woman, the one time she runs into the wrongest person with her female face on, he's hooked 😅
Add in their mutual attraction, his elevated status and how darn long it's been since the deceit started that its all the more complicated.
