Forensic Imperial Concubine

"They can't even stand this tension? What losers!" Matthew rigidly stated. On the board, the situation between the two was getting more and more heated. He couldn't do anything to Zack, neither could the man force him to surrender. Matthew was not in a hurry. Whether it was in the real war or the game, one should not be in a hurry or arrogant. Moreover, he should always keep vigilant. Otherwise, he would give the enemy a chance to take advantage.

Meanwhile, Zack wasn't taking it that seriously and just smiled. "Your Highness, you seem very irritated. Is it because Harper's friend you mentioned that day?"

"You think too much! No matter how many friends she has, no matter how covetous the enemies outside are, Harper's heart is only for me. That's enough. As long as she loves me, no one can take her away from me." Matthew showed a smile, which looked more of a smirk than a smile.

"Your Highness, you're so confident! Aren't you afraid of being humiliated someday?" Zack said with sarcasm.

"Up until now, only Harper has ever dared to embarrass me. All of the others are dead. By the way, Zack, you're old enough by now. It's about time for you to get married. Otherwise, your parents would be worried about you." Matthew tried to provoke him.

Zack gently smiled in response. "Your Highness, I'm only twenty years old right now, seven years younger than you. If I'm old, then you're older. Don't forget that you're also ten years older than Harper. In her mind, you will always be much older than me."

Matthew narrowed his eyes, quite dissatisfied with Zack provoking him. Although he didn't want to, he had to admit that he was really older. Harper was only seventeen years old, and he was already twenty-seven. In the years to come, he would get older and he wouldn't be as handsome as right now, but Harper would still be as beautiful as flowers. Would Harper be disgusted with him?

Since Matthew was starting to get worried, he made a mistake in their game. Zack took the opportunity to attack, which made Matthew counter attack in a hurry. In a few seconds, he almost lost his advantage!

"You dirty rat!"

gritted his teeth once again. At that point, he just really wanted to punch away the smile on Zack's face. But when he considered the consequences, he could already see a rumor spreading that Prince Matthew was so bad at playing Go that he injured Lord Zack when he lost the game. More importantly, Harper would look at him in a different light,

"You're a good teacher."

Even though he was a mere scholar who was considered weak, his astuteness and resourcefulness were absolutely no worse than his. If he fought against Matthew with everything he got, not caring about Harper's thoughts, the result would be
