Forensic Imperial Concubine

Since Harper was starting to believe that Rolando was gay, Matthew wanted to water the seeds that he had planted in her mind.

"Miguel is hostile to you because Rolando saved your life at the cost of one of his own arms. Look at it from Miguel's perspective. What kind of feelings must Rolando have for you that he was so willing to give up a part of him just to save you?" The expression on Matthew's face remained as normal as it could get, but he was laughing so much inside. He thought to himself, 'You are too naive to go against me, Rolando.'

Harper narrowed her eyes when she heard what Matthew said. "He's hostile to me because Rolando gave up his arm for me?" She voiced out her thoughts at the moment.

Matthew frowned a bit with Harper's reaction. He coughed a few times to clear his throat before saying, "Harp, you see, it's more than that. Rolando has never been with a woman before. But he was more than willing to lose an arm for you. It made Miguel misunderstand that Rolando likes you. Miguel then became afraid that Rolando was going to abandon him. That's why he sees you as an enemy, a rival, and a competition. However, he didn't dare to show it in public because he didn't want the others to know that the emperor and the prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom are gay. So, the only thing he can do is treat you with hostility from time to time but in a subtle way, so that no one will notice what he's doing."

Harper nodded. She thought that Matthew gave her the reasonable explanation that she was looking for. She had been wondering why Miguel would be so hostile to her from the first time they met. Now the puzzle had been solved.

"But there is nothing going on between me and Rolando. Miguel is being jealous for no reason," Harper said, still a little confused.

"A man who is deep in love is not rational at all. He has long regarded you as a rival and it will be hard to change his mind. So, from now on, stay away from Rolando, in case Miguel finally reaches his limit and uses some dirty trick to hurt you," Matthew reminded Harper, trying to sound very serious.
