Forensic Imperial Concubine

Seeing that Lucas was maintaining his silence, the officials didn't back off. They talked about many unreasonable things he had done before, and it was funny for even Francis upon hearing all that. He wondered if the officials had nothing else to do in their spare time other than to monitor Lucas. They could even remember when he had climbed to somebody's house wall and had stolen two eggs!

Lucas was left with a long face. After hearing out the officials, he himself felt that he had committed some heinous crimes, although the truth was contrary. He was not a murderer, or an arsonist, or a rapist. However, anyone hearing out those officials would get tricked to believe that he was a savage who committed some unforgivable sins.

"Bah!" Lucas could not stand it any longer. He spat on an official who used the most ferocious words to demonize him, then turned around and left arrogantly.

The embarrassed official froze and couldn't even respond. The rest of the officials had contorted faces. But later, they were glad as Lucas didn't spit in their faces.

"Your Highness, look! Prince Lucas doesn't even know how to behave in the imperial court. He spat in my face!" the official complained to Francis, without even wiping his face.

Francis raised his sleeve automatically to cover his face as he looked at the official who kept talking. No wonder Lucas couldn't help but spit at him. The man got so emotional that his saliva was sprayed everywhere when he was speaking. Lucas might have been unable to endure his saliva, and that would be the reason why he spat at him in return.

"Well, Lucas is always naughty and I am sure all of you are quite aware of that. His misdeeds were evident from the words you just spoke about him, but now for the time being, let's keep that aside. The marriage for Lilian is decided. I will appoint Uncle Matthew as the envoy for the peacemaking marriage, and Lucas will follow the team to the Great Jade Kingdom for the discussion of the marriage."

"Yes, Your Highness."
