Forensic Imperial Concubine

Harper tried to look for traces using her spiritual power, which she used to make the incantations work, and the half of the Sacred Seal she still had. It had already been seven years, and she wasn't confident at all that she would be able discover as to where it was. She then decided that it wouldn't be bad to look for clues first.

'I've been very lucky, but not lucky enough,' she thought herself. Yes, there had been clues that kept her search going, but she still saw some incomplete images. It was a man who destroyed the incantations with his blood. She was very familiar with his face.

Suddenly, Harper's eyes flew open. The incantations around her broke into a million pieces, like they did in the dream. Upon seeing this, Kile immediately went to her side to help her up. "Harper, are you all right?" he asked with great concern.

With her hands on her chest and heaving somewhat heavily, Harper waved her hand and responded, "I'm fine, Kile. I'm just having a little trouble breathing."

"Did you find any clues?" Kile asked cautiously. Harper looked a little pale, and by the looks of it, either because she was too tired or because she was so frightened.

After a minute of silence, Harper took a deep breath and answered, "Rolando."

Kile's father, the emperor of the Wonder Kingdom, gasped in surprised. "How could that be possible? Rolando was only sixteen years old seven years ago! How was he able to break into our Imperial Palace to steal the Sacred Seal?" he asked in disbelief.

"Blood," Harper said slowly. "Rolando's blood destroyed the incantations!"

"That's impossible! How could his blood destroy them?" What the emperor was hearing from Harper wasn't making any lick of sense. For him, even seven years ago, no sixteen-year-old teenage would be able to sneak into his palace, let alone steal the Sacred Seal! But if what Harper was saying was true, Rolando, even at that age, must have been incredibly powerful already. Now, that begged the question: how powerful was Rolando now?

Only Harper knew how powerful Rolando really was: a match for Matthew, although his right hand had been crippled after saving her life. What was bothering her at that moment, however, was the fact that Rolando was able to use his blood to break the incantations. 'That only means he is very special, like me!"

"I need to go back to Dragon Pass right away," Harper said at once. "Your Majesty, thank you for taking me here."

The emperor just stared at Harper, wanting to find out more from her. "You..." he started. But after pausing for a while, he let her go. "Forget it. Go, and make sure you take care of yourself."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I'm going now," Harper said, leaving.

"Father, I'll walk her out." Kile followed her out of the palace. It never occurred to him that the Sacred Seal of the Wonder Kingdom was stolen by Rolando. 'He truly is incredibly powerful,' he thought.
