Garden

  It was a busy day in the Palace. Iris needs to be a normal royal not to be known as the Black Rose. She passed by the Queen's room many times and since they were busy, no one would be in the Queen's room. She went directly to her room. She glanced at Hardin who was slouching on the sofa, probably waiting for her. 

"Babe~~" He stood quickly but she went directly to the secret place. She took out knives and small guns and placed them under her dress with the belts to hold the gun and knives. "What are you doing?" He asked. 

"The Grand King, Queen, and the King are in danger and so is the Duchess." She mumbled. 

"Do you need any help, love?" He reached one of the guns. 

"No. I can take care of myself." She sounded mature today. Not her usual tone. It's like the first time he met her. Her voice was sexier than usual. Hardin just let her be and was ready to be with him to protect her.
