Forensic Imperial Concubine

Understandably, Diana was beyond annoyed when she was taken away from her bed in the middle of the night. It had been intensified by the fact that Harper had yet to accept her as her disciple. She was very upset with Howard who was taking her away.

"Howard, do you really think you can just treat me like this because you're my master's elder brother? Well, you're completely wrong. I only have to show respect for my master, not you. If you dare to continue being rude to me, I'll certainly make you regret it!" Diana exclaimed while waving her hands in the air.

"Your master or my sister, whichever you prefer, told me to escort you back to the South Kingdom, so you can be reunited with your father as soon as possible. At this moment, almost the entire kingdom is under Catherine's control. Are you sure you want to continue staying at the Birch Pass? If you do, you may have to face a lot of consequences. Some of these might include the death of your father and Catherine inheriting the throne. You know what will happen after that. As the true heir of the South Kingdom, your mere existence is going to be a threat to her. Wherever you are in the world, she's going to hunt you down," Howard comprehensively explained. As soon as he loosened his grip on her, Diana fell on the ground.

She didn't scream for pain but instead, wore a frown on her face. "Do you really think that Catherine will kill my father? That's impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? It's clear that she wants the throne. Now, based on what she knows, the official heir to the throne, which happens to be you, is already dead. And once your father dies, the throne would naturally pass on to her. It's up to you whether you want to go back or not. If you don't want to leave, I'm going back to sleep," Howard said while he got on his horse.

"Then go! Right now!" Diana said. Then she got up from the ground and rode on the horse with so much ease that it impressed Howard very much.

Meanwhile, in the South Kingdom's palace, Lance was severely unwell that he couldn't get up from the bed. The courtiers had no choice but to ask the Holy Maiden to check on him and possibly treat him. At that moment, the government affairs were being taken care of by two first rank ministers, a civil minister and a military minister.

He had actually been poisoned by Catherine for the purpose of usurping the throne of the kingdom. Even though Lance knew that Diana had very little chance of surviving the Labyrinth Swamp, he still refused to
