Forensic Imperial Concubine

At that time, Zack visited Harper at Matthew's mansion. He wanted to apologize for failing to keep his promise of taking her back home the other day. At the same time, he wanted to gather some information from her.

"Harper, I'm really sorry for what happened the other day. I thought my duties would end early, so I was very confident that I could pick you up when I left the palace.

After all, it's obvious to everyone that he is talented and almost perfect except for his weak physical state. Meanwhile, the other faction is in support of Prince Jason as the crown prince. As you know, he doesn't have much support from the officials of the court. However, if he ascends the throne, those who help him get the crown will become very powerful. Thus, his supporters won't
