Forensic Imperial Concubine

In the imperial city of the South Kingdom, Catherine was standing on the gate tower of the city. She watched as a person got up on a horse and left the capital. Her eyes were moist with tears. Within a short time, her father and mother left the South Kingdom, and now even her sister Diana was leaving. Catherine was the only one left in the vast kingdom. This had been something that she wanted in the past. But now, after all the misunderstandings were cleared up in their family, she suddenly felt a little lonely. It was as if she had returned to the time when she lived in the Starry Palace by herself. It was probably the darkest time of her life. She didn't have anyone at all. After cutting off her family for some time, she didn't think that she could feel this way about them leaving.

"Diana!" Catherine shouted while she supported herself with both of her hands on the handrail. She was hoping that Diana would change her mind and stay.

Upon hearing Catherine's voice, Diana stopped the horse and looked back towards the tower. "Catherine, what's the matter?"

"Do you have to leave? Can't you stay? It's only you and I in the family now," Catherine exclaimed, as sadness and a little desperation were in her voice. She truly felt lonely and the only thing that she could wish was for her sister to stay.

With a smile on her face, Diana said, "Don't worry, Catherine. I'll just be away to learn some medicine skills with my master. After all, the insect poison of our South Kingdom has severe side-effects. If I can learn something useful from my master, then everyone in the South Kingdom won't need to use the insect poison for treatment. I promise you I'll come back, sooner or later. During my absence, you will have to work hard!"

Catherine opened her mouth to try and persuade Diana otherwise but she couldn't find the right words. She knew that the reason Diana chose to leave was to make her the queen of the South Kingdom in a just and lawful way. If Diana were to stay, ministers would have different opinions about which of them shall become the queen. But now that Diana was leaving, they didn't have to make that choice. It was what she had wanted. But now that the crown belonged to her, she just felt so lonely. This loneliness had haunted her since she started living in the Starry Palace as the Holy Maiden. And now, it even followed her as the queen of the South Kingdom.

"When will you come back?" she asked again.

"I'll come back when I get homesick. I have to go now. My master left several days ago already. It's time for me to join them. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to catch up to them!" Diana decisively said while waving her hand.
