Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Of course I'll go with you. I'll be worried about you if you go there by yourself. It's too dangerous there. No one would be able to help you if I weren't there," he slowly said.

"Then, that's it. We're going to the Starry Palace together. Thank you very much, my escort," Harper stated with a chuckle.

"It's my pleasure, my Harp," Matthew replied.

The next morning, the keeper woke Harper and Matthew up very early and urged them to take a bath and change clothes. After that, he asked them to burn incense and pray before leaving for the Starry Palace.

They followed everything that the keeper told them and after a while, they were finally on their way with his guidance.

The Starry Palace was built on the top of the Holy Mountain. From foot to top, the mountain was heavily guarded. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the keeper turned to Harper and Matthew. He then said, "I'm sorry but I'm only allowed to escort you up to this point. From now on, you need to go to the top by yourselves. The palace is right there at the very top. You will encounter a lot of posts where you will need to be checked. But with the pass token given by the Holy Maiden herself, you can go through each one smoothly and reach the top safe and sound."

Harper smiled and thanked him before he left. Then she showed the token to the guards. The guards thoroughly checked it before letting them get through. The couple walked slowly, as if they were on vacation while enjoying themselves very much. People in the Holy Mountain were raising numerous poisonous insects and snakes to help the Holy Maiden in enhancing her poison skills. Strangely enough, Harper thought that she could sense the breath of all the plants and animals in the mountain. It actually gave her chills for a little bit.
