who had beaten her?

"How many times would I be beaten for my mistakes and I will not give my innocence, no matter what would be the rank of the noble, I would rather die."

To say that i was stunned would be an understatement, everyone was looking at her as if she was crazy, but the voice and her behaviour since start told me, there must be some story behind her behaviour.

"You would never be beaten, and no one would touch you, noble or knight, unless you wanted them to. As the mistress of this palace, I promise you that'' taking a pause, I added, "is there something that has happened in the past with you?" i asked with a soft voice but the girl shook her head, her eyes were clear, then why did she react like that?
