My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

After a while, seeing the palaces and corridors passing by, Florence felt a drumming in her temples. She didn't think she should keep walking by intuition.

If she kept doing so, she couldn't find Ernest and she was more likely to come across Princess Samantha.

That was an extreme danger.

After thinking for a while, she stopped going forward. Instead, she walked to a path, waiting for someone passing by.

Soon, she saw a group of women who held trays coming towards her in unison.

They wore unified standard of clothes and looked young and beautiful, like maids in the ancient palace.

Based on their unified wearing and look, by and large they were maids.

Florence came up to them immediately. She smiled to the leading maid, saying,

"Excuse me, could you please do me a favor?"

At the first sight of Florence, the leading maid reacted respectfully; however, seeing her ordinary wearing and strange face, the leading maid frowned and felt puzzled.

Accordingly, her attitude was not that friendly. She asked alertly,

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Florence had no choice but to take out Duke Hector's token.

"I am…"

"Ms. Fraser!"

The leading maid cried in surprise, and then her expression changed. She made a deep bow, apologizing, "I'm terribly sorry that I didn't recognize you in the first time and disrespected you. Please punish me."

Following her, the group of women all made a bow respectfully.

The corners of Florence's mouth twitched. Again she felt the good advantage brought by this Duke Hector's token.

It seemed that she didn't need to talk in the palace at all. As long as she had any request, Duke Hector's token was enough.

Until now did she understand why Hector was so sure that she would marry him.
