Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

'You are the one who is apprehended!' Harper exclaimed to herself deep in her mind. Harper severely wished to retort. However,
she kept herself from saying anything, fully aware that they were in a public setting. Katrina seemed to be quite good at tearing
the scab right off someone else' sore. She could even pretend that she didn't notice the embarrassment on everyone's faces,
especially on Harper's, as she continued with her speech.
"Your Majesty, Harper is reluctant to get married, because her last engagement had been broken off. However, it is worth noting
that she is the only daughter of Prime Minister Charles right now. I don't want to see her grow old and lead her life all by herself.
Please arrange a good marriage and find a reliable man for her." Katrina still pretended to beg the emperor for help as though
she was very upset and concerned about Harper's situation. The people present were convinced by her words. They couldn't
help but feel how kind of an aunt she was to Harper.
While she continued to listen to Katrina, Harper only felt that she was being treated like a mere item being put on sale. It felt like
she was dependent upon who would make a good offer after she was carefully observed and evaluated. In short, she felt
dehumanized. Katrina, who seemingly cared about Harper so much in front of others, was in fact, only adding insult to her injury.

obey my parents' decisions. I really appreciate that Her Highness cares so much about my marriage. I give my gratitude towards
this." As soon as Harper finished her words, she cast a glance at Katrina and bowed to her. Then, she indifferently sat back to
her chair.
Katrina felt a little disgraced. Just now, Harper had said that she would follow her parents' arrangement for her marriage. In fact,

pleased. "Nicole, I only meant that His Majesty could arrange a good marriage for Harper. I'm only looking out for your best interests. Especially, now that you're pregnant, you should not be stressed or bothered too much

kept retorting against Katrina with inexplicable hostility towards her. Harper had been treating her with utmost sincerity and loyalty, so Nicole would certainly not allow anyone else to arbitrarily arrange a marriage for Harper. "Aright, stop arguing." After interrupting their conversation, the emperor turned to look at Harper, who looked fairly attractive and talented to him. Although she had a bad temper, as observed from her words alone, at least she looked gentle and amiable. But, it was a pity that her engagement had been ceased. Then, the emperor looked around to see which clans still had unmarried sons. But all the people in the great hall whose sons

the emperor. After taking a look at Matthew, she was frightened so much that she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am too humble to even think about marrying His Highness." "I think the two of you would make
