Forensic Imperial Concubine

In response to Jack's apology, Harper snorted. Obviously, she didn't buy his claims at all. Meanwhile, with a sad expression on his face, Jack turned around to look at Barry for help, but the latter pretended to not see it. Barry knew that first and foremost, it was not easy to change Harper's mind. Second, he still needed Harper's permission to marry her maid Nina so he couldn't risk offending her just for Jack's sake. He was well aware that Harper could just easily forbid their marriage so, between his fiancee and his brother, he decisively chose to abandon the latter.

Upon realizing Barry's response, Jack dejectedly curled his lips and looked at Fred instead. But he was just greeted with a smile full of gloat. With that, he suddenly thought of one thing. He immediately decided that he should go to hell with his heartless brother by saying, "Your Highness, don't forget that Fred offended you not long ago. He cursed you and claimed that you're a woman who always nags."

As soon as his words came out, Fred's eyes widened in an instant. The next moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage instantly changed. Squinting their eyes at the two men, Matthew and Harper yelled almost at the same time. "Both of you, get down from this carriage right now! Run to the imperial capital on foot!"

"Yes, Your Highnesses!" Fred said gloomily and then glared at Jack with eyes that looked like he was about to murder him. He then took out his sword and chased after him. He thought, 'This bastard dared to mention that matter at that very moment. If I don't teach him a good lesson today, he's going to think that no one will punish him for doing reckless and irresponsible things like this in the future!'

Jack was so scared that he used his flying skills at the maximum to escape Fred's wrath. He knew that this was a big deal. Fred would actually become the devil himself when he was mad. He also knew that Fred wouldn't regard him as a human being out of anger even though they were as close as brothers.

After a while, the envoy team finally reached the imperial capital. Harper felt that it was such a long time since she had last been there. So when she saw Zack waiting at the gate of the city, she gently smiled, feeling that she was finally home.

"Zack."

Since the person who Matthew brought up had a special place in Harper's world, it meant that Matthew was on his guard about him. Rather than having another enemy, having an ally was always a better option. Zack had an idea what Matthew was up to. If he wanted to start a rift between Zack and the other person and make Zack

very special to Harper, it meant that it was someone she cared about. Zack was not stupid enough to hurt the people who were important to her. If he did, he was only going to cause her pain as well. So it was no use for
