Forensic Imperial Concubine

In the middle of the dinner, the atmosphere suddenly became more tensed. Lucas moved his chair closer to Zack and asked, "Zack, did I say something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you hungry?" Zack asked while he stretched out his hand, picked up a chicken leg, and forcibly placed it into Lucas' mouth. After that, he continued, "Eat more and talk less. Or, do you want to go back to the Imperial Palace to have dinner?"

Desperately shaking his head, Lucas felt quite confused. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with his question, so he wondered why everyone else was reacting as if he said something unforgivable.

"We won't stay in the imperial capital for long. We might actually go to the Wonder Kingdom. After making a diagnosis and possibly curing Wendy, we'll probably go," Matthew slowly said after being silent for quite a while.

"You're going to leave again?" Zack asked, very much surprised to hear this news. He always felt like as time went by, Harper went farther and farther away from him. It felt as if they were no longer in the same world. Even though she was sitting right in front of him at that moment, he still felt like she was a thousand worlds away.

Raising her head to look at Zack, Harper said, "We have to take a trip to the Wonder Kingdom because there's something that I have to do there. But we won't leave before we have settled everything in the imperial capital."

Despite what she said, it still made Zack's heart jump for a second. According to what she said, it could mean that she was going to leave the Bright Dynasty, not for a short period of time, but for long, or perhaps, she would never come back.

"Will you come back?" Zack couldn't help but ask while staring at Harper with subtle intensity. He knew that he was just a feeble scholar who couldn't be around her all the time. But he was willing to stay in the Bright Dynasty's imperial capital just to wait for her, if she were to come back.
