Chapter 42: The legend

"You can't, my lady'' Lucy pleaded while trying desperately to stop Iris from jumping down the balcony. She kept looking back at the door before turning to her reckless lady. 

''My lady, I will get in trouble if the duke learns about this''

Iris sighed and looked at her maid, "Papa will not find out Lucy, Not until you inform him'' then she brightly smiled at the former, ''And I know that my trusted maid would never betray me.....right?'' Iris was done with staying indoors. Her father was one of a kind. Whenever she tried to step out of the main building, he stuck ten escort knights behind her. Those knights were the epitome of her father's thoughts. They followed her everywhere she went and refused to leave her side. Taking a stroll in a garden felt like going to war for Iris.
