Forensic Imperial Concubine

Fred had created so much noise inside the Imperial Palace of the South Kingdom that it drew the attention of many people. Even the queen of the South Kingdom, who was leading her life in seclusion, had also come out of her palace. Her appearance out of her palace after so many years had taken everyone by surprise.

"Your Majesty!" everyone called out in disbelief.

Harper followed the direction of the crowd's gaze until her eyes met a dignified woman dressed in a white robe. The woman walked towards them slowly and gracefully. She had a forgiving look on her face. She looked at Catherine and asked, "Catherine, what are you doing?"

"Mo... mother..." Catherine called out, shocked to see her mother outside after so many years. The queen of the South Kingdom had not come out of her palace for many years. The last time she was seen outside her palace was when Catherine had become the Holy Maiden. Since Catherine lived in the Starry Palace, the empress had closed the doors of her palace to the rest of the world.

The queen came forward and looked at Fred who seemed to be on a rampage to kill everyone who came in his way. A frown appeared on her calm and placid forehead as she said, "Sir, please stop."

However, Fred turned a deaf ear to her. The queen then turned to the woman who was drinking tea calmly, but she could not see her face properly as someone stood in front of her. Yet, she addressed her and requested politely, "Can you ask your man to stop, please?"

"Stop it, Fred," Harper ordered in a lazy tone. "If you don't stop right away, you will face severe consequences."

Fred put his sword down but he was still seething in rage and fighting his impulse to hurl the sword at his enemies. The queen heaved a sigh of relief to see Fred stop the killing. Then she looked at Catherine and asked tenderly, "Catherine, when did you come back?"
