Forensic Imperial Concubine

"What do you mean by that?" she asked after staying silent for a few seconds.

Rolando smiled in response. "As I said, Harper: I want you to be my empress, and I will do anything for that to happen. I know that Matthew is now in the Imperial Capital.

We should at least tell His Highness that Emperor Rolando is trying to make you his empress!" Forsythia said. She was starting to feel annoyed by Harper's seemingly nonchalant attitude. Since they were trapped inside the Harmony Palace, they had no way to tell Matthew what was happening. Now, if Rolando indeed forced Harper to be his wife and Matthew had no idea about it,
