Forensic Imperial Concubine

Harper and her companions were only in Phoenix City for a brief amount of time. Similar to the way they entered the city in secret, they silently left, as if they were just mere passers-by who had a cursory glance at the city.

Meanwhile, Diana felt that it was so unreal that she had actually entered the city and came out of it in one piece. It was so surreal that she felt like she was stepping on cotton while they were on their way out.

"Master, we did come out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive! Not only that, we also managed to pass through Phoenix City! I can't believe it!" Diana exclaimed while pinching her face. She was beyond ecstatic that it seemed like she couldn't feel the pain from her pinch.

Upon hearing her words, Harper pinched one of Diana's legs really hard. This time, the pain was so harsh that tears almost came out from Diana's eyes. "Do you believe it now?" Harper asked.

Harper loosened her grip on Diana's leg after seeing that Diana was slowly nodding her head. Harper's pinch hurt so bad that Diana started to gently rub her leg to ease the pain. In fact, tears were finally welled up in her eyes.

Then, Harper climbed on top of her horse and got ready for their journey to the Birch Pass. But before she rode away, she turned around and looked at the gate tower. Almost instantly, she saw a familiar figure. Even if she couldn't see the person clearly because she was too far away, she immediately recognized him.
