Forensic Imperial Concubine

Matthew was not satisfied with Harper's answer. So he exerted a little bit more strength in pinching her to make it a little painful. In return, she frowned at him. Instantly, the red snake bent its body to attack him, but Harper stretched out her hand to grab its tail. She then threw it far away from them.

Matthew loosened his hold on Harper. He then noticed that her hand had turned red because of his grip. Gently, he took hold of her hand with both of his and rubbed it with his utmost carefulness. "That little thing has very fast instincts to protect its master! You have spent so much time raising it and as it turns out, it's worthwhile. Only, it's so blind that it even wanted to bite me."

With that, they both looked at the red snake which she had thrown earlier. It didn't understand why it got punished after attacking the one who was hurting its master. At that moment, it drooped its head, not daring to approach Harper.

Harper waved her hand and the eyes of the snake lit up. Then, it crawled to her foot and climbed up along her leg, stopping on her wrist. It didn't move after that, resting idly with its master. If anyone were to look at her without checking carefully, they would think that she was only wearing a pretty bracelet.

"It could be used as a good weapon to plot against others." Matthew couldn't help but say. Who would think that Harper would carry a red poisonous snake with her?

Harper seemed to agree with him. She stated, "You may be right. After all, I don't have any idea about Francis' plan, so I should be more vigilant. Although I'm not afraid of poison, I don't want to be injured, so I'd better be extra careful. Not to mention, the Wonder Kingdom which never involved themselves in anything like this, has also sent envoys to the South Kingdom this time, which made me feel uneasy." While she was conveying her thoughts, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"I'm afraid that the Wonder Kingdom has the same goal as us." Matthew was actually well aware of the situation in the Wonder Kingdom. For the past years, the kingdom had been keeping to themselves. They neither clashed nor communicated with any other nation. But now, they had started to get in touch with other countries again and even sent people to the South Kingdom. Plus with the records which they had seen in the Secret Pavilion, Matthew couldn't help but think that the Wonder Kingdom must be planning on the other half of the Sacred Seal.

on her mind the countless possibilities of his character. After getting dressed, she went outside in a rush. However, despite the numerous possibilities she had been thinking about, it seemed like there was one thing that slipped her mind. A tall man was not only dressed in women's clothes and wearing make-up, but he was even pressing his fingers together like a sissy while speaking. He was obviously
