Forensic Imperial Concubine

When Matthew and Harper returned to the Dragon Pass, Zack was just about to go back to the imperial capital as there was no need for him to stay anymore. He should be back home, fulfilling his promise to his family.

"I thought I wouldn't see you. I didn't expect you to come here. You look thinner these days. It seems that you had a hard time for the past few days," Zack said as he looked at Harper with wide smile on his lips.

Harper smiled back, asking him, "Zack, are you going back to the imperial capital?"

"Yes. The Great Jade Kingdom is no longer a threat, and more importantly, Prince Matthew is here. Since I'm not needed here anymore, I'm going back," Zack said as he poured Harper a warm cup of newly brewed tea. "It seems like you have something on your mind."

"Rolando has escaped," said Harper softly before sipping from the tea.

"I knew it," Zack said, knowing that her dilemma involved none other than Rolando. "When we were outside the Dragon Pass, Rolando fought with His Highness. It was an earth-shaking duel! Though His Highness was able to inflict Rolando with injuries that are far more serious and devastating, he was still injured. Taking the chance, Rolando escaped."

Harper nodded slightly. Silence followed that, but after a while, she finally revealed what happened between her and Rolando, saying, "Rolando came to find me." She was deep in thought, idly looking at the tea leaves that were floating in her cup. "He has the other half of the Sacred Seal, but I want to give it up," she continued.
