Forensic Imperial Concubine

Lucas, who has been sent to coordinate the disaster relief efforts, finally got back to the imperial capital.

He went straight for reporting to the emperor as soon as he entered the Imperial Palace, but was stopped by Francis.

"Francis, it's been a long time. I'm happy to see you in good health. Congratulations!" Even though his performance was laudable during the disaster relief, Lucas was still frivolous. He said with a casual smile, "Francis, I met a beautiful lady in Stream County this time. I was so mesmerized by her beauty that I almost forgot everything and didn't even want to come back."

"Your help in the disaster relief was commendable. Father has always been thinking about you. If he comes to know that you were late because you got mesmerized by a beauty, he'll teach you a hard lesson." Francis spoke in a gentle voice and smiled warmly. Lucas always thought Francis was good-looking. Now when he looked at him carefully, he felt his eyes and brows were as elegant as a charming woman's.

"Francis, you're the most charming one among our brothers. If you were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with you." Lucas couldn't help but praise him. "I think you have already received many intriguing marriage proposals."

Francis glanced at Lucas and said, "Everyone knows that I'm in poor health. I might die at any time. Who would risk her life and desire to remain a widow in my mansion?"

"Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!" Lucas spat symbolically. "Don't say anything unlucky!"

Francis was amused by his words and said, "Let's both go together to see Father. He was badly injured when Felix was rebellious. He hasn't fully recovered from it and now, he even has a bad temper. You'd better maintain silence in front of Father, lest you might annoy him and get scolded."
