Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 44

"Elliot, do you like the Black Rose that much?" Danielle asked.

Elliot nodded vigorously. The Black Rose wasn’t just something he liked; it’s something he dreamed of owning.

"Kit, go to the armory and fetch me six Black Roses," Danielle ordered.

Elliot asked, "Danielle, who taught you how to make weapons?" He was shocked by how much Danielle knew given her age.

Danielle thought for a moment and said, "I taught myself the skill of making weapons."

David looked at Danielle lovingly. As expected, his girlfriend was outstanding.

"Danielle, this is the first gift you’ve given me. I’ll treasure it," said David as he held the gift lovingly.

Danielle looked at David and smiled. "I’m glad you like it."

Everyone else present rolled their eyes at how lovey-dovey Danielle and David were.

Danielle said, "Elliot, keep the gun. The Black Rose is not anything special here at my fortress. Consider it a trinket to add to your personal collection. Also,
