Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Why? So many people have just come out of the swamp alive. They are standing right in front of you! Can't you see that?" Harper pointed at Howard, Diana, and the secret guards. They all looked terrible, yet they had all managed to come out of the swamp alive. And that in no way was a small achievement.

Hearing that, the woman was left aghast, speechless for a while. She kept staring at Harper with her eyes wide open and her jaw dropped for a long time. Then she swallowed hard and exclaimed, "Woman, you are incorrigible. And even your husband allowed you to get into the notorious swamp! He definitely doesn't care for you!" The woman heaved a sigh and shook her head from side to side.

"I was forced into the swamp by the Holy Maiden and the king of South Kingdom. Matthew had been leading the army at the Birch Pass. I asked you to come here because I want you to figure out a way to secretly take us out of Phoenix City. We have to be very careful so that nobody comes to know about us. I want to reach the Birch Pass." Harper came straight to the point.

"Why don't you go inside to have a look? You have already arrived at the gate." Harper's deeds had always been a notch above the normal people. And this time, she had created another benchmark for herself by traveling through the Labyrinth Swamp along with fourteen people and without a single casualty. Now, she had entered yet another forbidden territory and even wanted to sneak out of this place without anyone in the city coming to know about it. The woman was shocked. "Aren't you afraid..."

"No, I'll come back when I'm done with my work." Harper shook her head with the same firm look on her face. "Also, don't tell anyone that I have crossed the Labyrinth Swamp!"

The woman looked helpless. After a while, she heaved a sigh and said, "Okay, it's up to you. Do you want me to find a place for you to wash and change your clothes? Your clothes stink."

"Yes, yes, please... I want to get washed since a long time ago," said Diana. This was something she had been wanting to do for a long time. Her face was completely smeared with mud. Seeing her condition, no one could say that she was a princess of South Kingdom. And the woman's attention was on Harper. She did not pay much attention to Harper's companions. Hence, she didn't even notice that Diana was from South Kingdom.

"Well, you all can go to my residence to freshen up. But it will be too dangerous if so many people enter my house at the same time. Hence, my advice is that you break up into small groups and come in slowly at an interval. Later, we all can meet in the courtyard."
