Chapter 187 A Deal (Part Two)

Harper acquiesced to their remarks without speaking. Charles was uncertain of how to proceed, seeing her blank expression.

"Do you have anything to say?" he asked.

Harper shook her head. "The emperor has granted me the decree. As you have said, Father, this is a most gracious favor. I have no words to express my gratitude to His Majesty for granting me such a marriage."

Charles nodded, pleased at her obedience. "Since you have acknowledged that it is a good opportunity, I will speak frankly. You are also a member of the Chu Clan, and you will carry our name your whole life. You must never forget that the clan's interest is of utmost importance. Am I understood?"

"Yes. I understand," Harper answered, with her head down. As soon as Charles finished his last sentence, she understood why she had been called. He wanted to use her as a means to get something from Matthew.

"After you marry into the prince's mansion, you will report about his every move to me." The masquerade fell apart to reveal the true intentions behind the marriage proposal. The emperor merely wanted to have someone who would serve as his eyes regarding Matthew's movement. Charles had been given the task to watch the prince.

Harper raised her head and asked with a faint smile, "Father, are you asking me to spy on the prince?"

"Yes!" Charles showed no reluctance in revealing his purpose. "After you enter Prince Matthew's mansion, you must find a way to get the Black Flag Token and bring it to me."

"Father, would it really be that easy to get something out from the prince's mansion?" Harper asked, her expression amused.
