Forensic Imperial Concubine

A strange emotion flashed in the Holy Maiden's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Even so, Harper still caught sight of it. Because of that, she felt curious and wondered if the Holy Maiden was happy to hear that she was married.

"Your husband must treat you very well," the Holy Maiden said. The women in the South Kingdom were actually very open-minded. Many of them would go out to pick medicinal herbs to help support the family. Moreover, there were a lot of female shamans in the entire place. They started to learn some poisoning skills since they were children. Such skills could not only hurt people, but save them from various diseases and conditions as well.

The Holy Maiden closed her eyes and carefully sniffed her surroundings. "You have a faint smell of medicine. Are you a shaman?" she asked.

"I'm afraid I can't be called a shaman. I only like dealing with medicinal herbs. Some of them should be treated in various ways in order to preserve them very well. I have also been educated with medical effects by physicians, so that I can help my husband with our livelihood. As time goes by, it seems like my body has absorbed the smell of medicine," Harper lied without batting an eye.

While listening to Harper, the Holy Maiden nodded her head. It seemed like she believed what Harper said. However, Harper couldn't help but snicker because it was so easy to deceive her. She thought that the Holy Maiden was naive enough that if she left the South Kingdom, it was very likely for her to be caught by human traffickers.

"How long are you going to stay in the capital?" the Holy Maiden curiously asked.

"I wanted to leave when all the medicinal herbs that we brought are sold. But my husband said that we should wait until the Worship Ceremony is over," Harper answered with a simple smile. And just like that, the two women sat together while talking about everything for two hours.

Harper's side would have a powerful influence. When she mentioned Diana, the woman didn't show a bit of fear and even said that the king of the South Kingdom would be unable to protect her as well. Becky started to wonder who on earth she
