My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

If Florence 'couldn't think of a way, not only would she, but also Bonnie and her four bodyguards face danger.
She couldn't just wait for help!
Florence made up her mind. She said to the bodyguards,
"Send me to the palace."
Both the bodyguards and Bonnie were stunned.
"Ms. Fraser, the palace is heavily guarded. None of us can enter. Further, if we stay in front of the palace gate, we're more likely
to be found."
They didn't know Princess Samantha wanted to kill Florence, but they were worried the insane woman would make a scene at
the palace gate if she knew where Florence was.
At that time, it must be embarrassing.
Florence shook her head with her determined eyes.
"I'll find the solution. Send me there immediately, please."
The only solution was to take initiative. She should find Ernest and stay with him, or she would be in danger.
Besides, it must be beyond Princess Samantha's expectation that she dared to enter the palace.
Seeing her determination, although the four bodyguards were puzzled, they still agreed with her.
After all, it was not a good idea and it was even not safe to let her stay outside for a whole day.
In this country, there was no inn to accommodate females.
On the way to the palace, Florence tried her best to avoid meeting people, so it took quite a lot of time. Finally they arrived at the
side gate of the palace.
It was like the White House. Royal guards in white stood there.
They were armed with guns.

They stood in a threatening manner and looked far away, successfully keeping passers-by away from them.
Florence took a deep breath and approached them. Before she reached the range of 5 meters, a gun was already aimed at her
temple.
A royal guard shouted at her rudely,
"This is the palace. No admittance! Go away!"
She was not allowed to enter, let alone approach.
Bonnie hardly left her house, so it was her first time to see the scene. Her face turned pale at once and her body straightened
up.
She grabbed Florence's sleeve gently, whispering,
"Flory, you see, we can't enter the palace. Let's leave now."
The four bodyguards were embarrassed as well. They thought Florence had a wasted journey.
Perhaps because she had gone through the most traumatic thing and became braver thanks to Benjamin, Florence didn't feel
scared in face of the gun.
She shook her head, "You wait for me in a secret place."
After saying so, she continued going ahead.
After seeing Florence keeping forward without fear, the royal guard who warned her just now became fiercer and loaded the gun.
He shouted angrily, "Stop! If you go forward one more stop, I'll fire you!"
They had right to kill anyone who intended to break into the palace, especially a woman.
Florence wasn't seeking for death, so she stopped when she was two meters away.
Looking at the royal guard, she said,
"Officer, I wanna go to the place to see my brother."

"No token, no admittance. Whoever you wanna see, no way. Go away."
The harsh voice indicated no compromise.
Florence didn't feel offended. She groped in her pocket and took out the token given by Hector.
"What if I have this one?"
"Duke Hector's token?"
When he looked at Florence again, his fierce view changed, "Are you Florence, the woman who Duke Hector wants to marry?"
During this period, to marry Florence, Duke Hector passed three tests that challenged male dignity, which caused quite an
uproar all over the nation. Nearly everyone knew it.
So did the royal guards. At the party, Duke Hector gave the token to Florence in person and announced that seeing Florence
was like seeing himself.
In Raflad, only Princess and Queen were honorable, but now Florence was distinguished as well. She was as honorable as
Duke Hector. She was not a person to be trifled with.
Florence pursed her lips, nodding, "Yes, I am."
The royal guard softened his attitude again and took back his gun quickly. He suddenly stood up straight, giving a standard
salute.
"Salute!"
Following his loud voice, tens of royal guards at the gate gave Florence a salute in unison.
Florence had thought the token was very useful but she never knew it was so useful.
These royal guards' attitude changed greatly. They stood respectfully in two rows, giving her a standard greeting etiquette.
"Ms. Fraser, please."
Duke Hector, was the heir to the crown.
Duchess was likely to be the future queen.

Florence's current social status made them respect Florence and listen to her.
Their sudden serious treatment made Florence feel uncomfortable. Actually she just wanted to enter the palace.
She was a bit embarrassed, so she quickened the paces, going through the gate hurriedly.
Seeing her disappearing after the gate, the royal guards let out a sigh of relief and put down their hands.
They looked at each other and felt lucky enough to survive.
"Luckily, Ms. Fraser didn't call us to account for offence, or we have been dead now."
They were so blind that they didn't recognize such a distinguished person and even aimed the gun at her. In Raflad, the
punishment for this varied. They could either be fired or be put in jail or even be killed.
Duke Hector had an extremely high social status and he always did things at his sweet will. Anyone who offended him never had
a happy ending.
This time they were lucky enough to meet Florence who had a good temper, so they survived.
Not far away, Bonnie and the four bodyguards saw Florence enter the palace successfully and they couldn't help feeling shocked
and then relaxed.
They forgot that Florence had a token which symbolized power, so it was a piece of cake for her to enter the palace.
The point was whether she was safe as she entered the palace alone.
The bodyguards looked at one another, worried.
Bonnie smiled, "No worries. Everyone in the palace thinks highly of status and rules. Flory has Duke Hector's token, so nobody
dares to disrespect her. Further, my mum could only make a scene in the neighborhood. She wouldn't come here."
The four bodyguards agreed.
Then they stopped worrying and waited for Florence at ease.
But they didn't know the person who indeed threatened Florence's safety was Princess Samantha.
The palace was under her control and was the most dangerous place.

Not long after Florence came into the palace, she got lost.
The palace was much bigger than she expected.
Various small palaces, long corridors and crossroads tangled together, forming a huge haze.
More importantly, there was no direction sign!
Taking turns or going straight depended on intuition.
