"Nero, let's go for a ride around the city first." Rose ordered as Luz, Noir and herself going into the carriage.
"Yes, my Grace." Nero answered. Noir want to sit beside Rose stop when she told her to sit beside Luz.
"Shall we get into the business then?" Rose said looking at Luz that still wondered while Noir smile knowing what she will say next.
"Why do we need secrecy in that room? Even my husband cannot know what going on in there." Rose said with her gaze toward Noir.
"Rhododendron in the palace." Noir replied making Rose become silent.
"Who?" She asked with concerned.
"The Prime Minister and the Duke." Noir answered.
"Rhododendron? What you mean?" Luz puzzled.
"I see. That's why." Rose finally understands Noir intention.
"Can someone explain to me?" Luz annoyed.
"Do you remember when your uncle asked Noir if she like flower?" Rose said. Luz nod.
"Behind each Noir answer contain a hidden message just for the king, Black and me." Rose explained.
"I don't get it." Luz still wondered. Rose sighed.
"Do you know about flower language?" Noir asked.
"Some of them. Mom does teach me sometimes." Luz replied.
"Well, I use it to convey message direct to the king and Sir Black is there to support my message." Noir explained.
"Do you know what the meaning of hanging white rose and white rose under the table?" Noir asked. Luz shakes his head.
"That's mean what we are talking inside the room is secret and cannot be tell anyone outside the room." Noir explained.
"If Noir didn't tell me about your pendant, I wouldn't know you marrying her." Rose pouted.
"But Noir never said that when we are in the room. How do you know?" Luz puzzled.
"I saw her buying that pendant and she said that it is for her husband. She really is choosing the suitable gemstone to tell me about your relationship." Rose said.
"That's why she asked me to show it off. But what is the meaning of this gemstone?" Luz looks at his pendant.
"Black obsidian is known as the stone of truth." Rose explained making Luz understand.
"So, I still don't get it. What exactly Noir said toward uncle?" Luz said.
"Do you remember what flower I told him?" Noir asked.
"I think… ahh… the queen of night, pink carnation, red camellia, pink peony, calla lily, begonia and purple orchid." Luz replied.
"Do you know the meaning of it?" Noir asked again.
"Just the red camellia flower that mean deep love and the queen of night flower." Luz said.
"Noir told your uncle about our relationship just by telling him the flower when she goes around pouring the drink for us." Rose replied making Luz realise.
"Then what is the other flower mean?" Luz asked again.
"When she poured drink to your uncle, the queen of night she told him representing her loyalty toward her king. When she goes toward me, she symbolised me as pink carnation which representing mother everlasting love. When she goes to your father, calla lily representing a respected and a protected father figure." Rose explained.
"Then, what begonia mean?" Luz nodded while confuse when he remembered Noir did represent begonia flower for his father.
"It's mean beware or be careful." Noir interrupted.
"Why?" Luz puzzled.
"Because he is close to Duke Shamrock and Prime Minister Capri." Rose said making Luz more confuse.
"Your uncle and me suspecting that both of them have agenda that will threaten our kingdom." Rose added.
"So, Rhododendron both of you mention earlier means danger? What I got to do with father? He won't tell anyone." Luz realised.
"I know he won't tell but your father has the habit to slip up information without realise he already did that in the first place." Rose annoyed.
"Ah… Yeah… I forgot about it." Luz said with a sighed.
"Then what the meaning of the red camellia, pink peony and purple orchid?" Luz asked to Noir.
"Red camellia did represent deep love, but it also has other meaning which is soulmate. While pink peony mean marriage. That's the way I can told your uncle about our true relationship." Noir said.
"The purple orchid?" Luz asked again. Rose and Noir smiles.
"It's purple orchid and white chrysanthemum." Rose added.
"I did hear Sir Black told you about it. Is there a relationship between it?" Luz said.
"Yes, both Noir and Black just told us about their two relationships." Rose replied making Luz shocked.
"What kind of relationship?" Luz feels anxious making Noir chuckles. Rose just shakes her head looking at her daughter-in-law teasing his son.
"Purple orchid and white chrysanthemum are representing teacher or master-student relationship. I meet Master Black when I still freshman in the Alliance. Master Black said I have potential and invite me to be his student along with Mink." Noir explained.
"I never expected. You really got too many secret, Noir." Luz said.
"Just like you, student of Sir Grey. I never expect it." Noir added making Luz surprised.
"Just how I never expect you are student of Commander Black." Luz said.
"Mink told me about his father mysterious student to me after we discuss back then. He never expects it is you as he also never saw you once training with his father. After all he is Sir Grey's son." Noir said. The three of them laughed.
"So, who's also knew about both of your relationship?" Rose asked.
"Beside my family, Frost and Nero only. And now including you mom." Luz replied.
"How did Forst know?" Rose surprised.
"He's there when I get married with Noir." Luz replied. Luz told her all about what happen and how he ended up marrying Noir including how Noir propose to him. Rose hears the story with excitement and laughed.
"I never expect my daughter-in-law so bold to propose you. Your behaviour reminds me of my best friend at the Dark Kingdom. She is the dark king's sister and really bold one. I never have a friend like her. She never acts like royalty after all." Rose said.
"Where is she now?" Noir wondered.
"Don't know. Her brother, the dark king only told others that she eloped with a guy, but the truth is she asked the king to marrying them in secret and she leave the kingdom without anyone know where." Rose replied earning a sweat drop from Noir and Luz.
"Are all dark clan women having boldness in them?" Luz said looking toward Noir.
"How should I know, I'm just half-born." Noir answered.
"Half-born?" Rose puzzled.
"My mom is from dark clan, and my dad is from wind clan." Noir explained.
"I see. First, I thought you are from dark clan because of your black hair. All of dark clan have this trait. So, you're a dark element?" Rose asked again.
"I have wind element." Noir answered without telling the truth about her other element power.
"I know it is late and but Noir, welcome to the family. I'm glad Luz marrying someone he really like." Rose said.
"No, I should be proud because I have a husband that really love his family." Noir praised making Luz embarrassed.
After they arrive at Luz house, Noir stop him when both of them already at the entrance door.
"Luz, do your family know about the Marquess?" Noir stated making Luz surprised.
"No. Why you asked?" Luz surprised.
"It just a hunch. I think in the palace, someone already suspecting your family members know about Marquess Silver." Noir said.
"But who?" Luz said.
"Maybe there a spy in your house." Noir stated.
"I think we need to investigate this further." Noir said earning a nod from Luz and both of them going into the house.
Meanwhile, there action has been caught by two pair of siblings that just come home from their work. Carmine and Lux looking at both of them with suspicious. They still puzzle why their brother seem to be close with Noir.
"Sis, there something going on around here." Lux said seriously.
"Yeah, I know. We just observe their action first. Don't conclude on your own. I think there maybe something bigger from the way they behave." Carmine said making Lux nod.
"If that woman does anything that harm Luz, I will make her regret." Lux said making Carmine smile. Carmine knows even though Lux and Luz always no on the same page, both of them still value their brotherly bond in their own way.
"Just watch for now." Carmine replied shortly.
