My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 735

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.

This man was never refused by others, so he didn't know what "No" was.

He genuinely enjoyed wealth and honor.

"No worries."

Florence waved her hand, "Do you have time to do me a favor?"

"Sure, sure."

The leading maid immediately passed the tray in her hand to the maid behind her, behaving actively, "Ms. Fraser, please tell me. I wouldn't hesitate to go through fire and water for you."

"Not that serious and you don't need to go through fire and water. I just wanna you to lead me to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It's not close."

The leading maid felt confused why Florence arrived here if her destination was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but she didn't keep asking. Instead, she answered sincerely,

"I can lead you there right now."

It would be more efficient if someone was willing to lead her there.

Florence was happy for this. She thanked the leading maid with a smile, "It's so nice of you."

The leading maid was shocked by her remarks. She stepped backward.

"It's my duty."

How could she accept such an honorable person's thanks?

Seeing her humble attitude, Florence was speechless.

In this country, females were inferior to males. In this palace, the rules were conventional as well. Working staff in the palace were subservient and servile to persons of royal lineage, like slaves.

In such a country where there was advanced science and technology and life, there existed no harmony and democracy.

Besides, the country was located so far away that people could hardly find it. Therefore, the regime was very solid and stable. Perhaps it was hard to have a revolution in a thousand years.
