The black beast

'The emperor?' This was Rose's first thought at the sight of the golden eyes. However, the golden eyes staring right back at her and Mira gave her a different feeling from the emperor's.

It was unexplainable, but for some reason, she just knew if any golden eyes belonged to the emperor or not.

Just like now…these golden eyes were definitely not from the emperor. Unlike the emperor's, they were intense and sinister. The airs on her neck stood erected at the penetrating sensation just from them.

It was a very familiar feeling.

Besides, the emperor couldn't be around in the garden of the empress's palace at this time of the night.

''Who are you?'' Rose held on to Mira and pushed the nervous feeling within her and boldly questioned the stranger with them. Only she and Mira were in the garden. Even if she were to raise her voice, the knights were quite far from them.

In other words, she had to be smart in dealing with the situation.
