Forensic Imperial Concubine

The moment Rolando saw the couple riding their horses side by side, complicated feelings started to blossom inside his chest. Although he had been able to deceive her with his gentle mask, he could not deny the hurt he was feeling. He felt like the fake mask he put on was shattered into a million little pieces.

"Harper, it's late. Where are you going?" Rolando softly asked.

"Go home, Rolando," Harper replied, the smile on her face unchanging, as if she didn't hold grudge against him. Matthew's face, on the other hand, darkened. His grim expression only meant one thing: he wanted to crush Rolando into a million little pieces.

see how majestic the fight between the two men was. It was her first time seeing them meet, and she was stunned by how powerful they both were. Only then did she realize how utterly stupid it was for her to even suggest to deal with Rolando alone. Even if Rolando got injured, it would literally take ten of her to at the very least neutralize him. 'Actually, even then it would be very hard,' she thought, feeling sweat run down

touched her bruised face, searing pain began to flood her senses. It only made Harper's nonchalance more admirable. "I really didn't expect my master to be such a powerful being. No wonder she adores that weirdo, Matthew, another powerful being! But Emperor Rolando... is just as strong as them.

for someone like Harper to fall in love with Rolando? Yes, Rolando was strong and skillful, but that didn't mean that Harper would just fancy him. Stories had circulated that even Matthew found it hard to convince Harper to marry him—he had to put so much effort into courting her! That was why Zorro
