Forensic Imperial Concubine

On the way to South Kingdom, the journey went smoothly for Matthew and everyone else. In fact, it was way beyond their expectations. When the envoys arrived at the station of the Birch Pass, Luther, who was responsible for guarding the south domain, personally led his soldiers to receive them.

"Your Highnesses, good day to you all. I'm Luther Lu." With thick and seemingly impenetrable armor, Luther looked like a mighty general. The innocent face that he once had was nowhere to be seen. After strenuous training, he gave people the impression of being steady and sophisticated.

Matthew lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Luther. The prince actually thought highly of the general. He got promoted to this position solely because of his military prowess and didn't keep close relationships with the courtiers.

"You, are Luther?" Actually, a lot of people were surprised when the late emperor chose Luther to take over the south domain's army. After all, he didn't attract much attention at the imperial court. If the late emperor hadn't suddenly promoted him as a commander in chief, only a few people would have known his name.

"That's right, Your Highness. I am Luther, the commander in chief of the south domain's army," Luther plainly answered in a tone that was neither humble nor rude. The army of the south domain had always been a headache for the imperial court. It was all because the place was located near South Kingdom where the people were very skilled at using poison. Additionally, the soldiers in the south domain were arrogant. It was impossible for them to passively obey an order from anyone who they regarded as incompetent and undignified.

"How many soldiers are in the garrison of the south domain?" Matthew asked slowly.

"Your Highness, in total, there are 200, 000 soldiers in the garrison. The troop of 100, 000 soldiers is directly under my command. The other 100, 000 are being led by General Xu and General Wei." More than what Matthew was asking for, Luther explained in great detail the division of the south domain's army. Including himself, there were three leaders in the army. However, even when a prince had come to the Birch Pass, the other two generals didn't show up. Even though Luther didn't say anything outright, he was actually trying to snitch on the other two generals.
