Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Try not to worry yourself too much. Rolando may be a cold man, but he is by no means a vicious man," Harper said slowly. "There is a saying that all emperors are unfaithful and fickle, but they are also affectionate."

A wry smile crept onto Lucas' face. What Harper said sounded contradictory and ironic. Emperors were fickle because they would soon abandon a woman they had just doted on; emperors were affectionate because they would fall in love with multiple women at the same time but such affections didn't last long.

"I'll be taking my leave now, Aunt Harper."

The receding back of Lucas seemed so lonely. Seeing that, Harper helplessly shook her head and blurted out, "He is another hair-splitter."

"Your Highness, why did you say that?"

"I guess he must have been irritated by Prince Francis. As a result, he has no clue what he's supposed to do for the time being. And the younger sister who has grown up by his side is going to marry someone far away from him for political reasons, so he feels restless and cannot keep his cool." Harper had not expected that Lucas could actually be so warm-hearted and that he had been watching over the younger sister who had grown up together with him.

"What do you mean?"

"He goes whoring almost every day. In fact, his lovers are available in almost every major brothel in the imperial capital. I even heard that when the courtiers go whoring, they would ask first if the prostitute they liked is Prince Lucas' lover, fearing that the prince would make trouble for them if the one they chose was really his lover," Nina blurted out. It was clear as day that she didn't think highly of Lucas.
