In reaction to the murmurs of the young ladies, Harper slowly smiled. Zack and Francis were both outstanding, and they were all
unmarried. Although all the young ladies in the imperial capital were eager to marry Francis, Lucas, or Zack, the truth was that
being married into the Bu Clan was the most attractive option.
Zack had already been accustomed to the blazing and passionate eyes around him whenever he showed up in public. He smiled
consistently and kept moving onward without looking askance. Francis had seldom appeared outside in the public, but had
experienced many kinds of occasions. Therefore, he also maintained a calm face, and could always regain his composure by
glancing occasionally at Harper.
"Are you Matthew's wife?" a hostile voice said abruptly.
Harper stopped and looked at the person blocking her way. She wondered who this person might be. Francis and Zack were
already bowing to greet that person.
"How delightful to meet you, Aunt Joyce," Francis said respectfully.
The woman who addressed Harper was Joyce Jun, the emperor's sister. Joyce Jun then looked at Francis. Although the latter
seldom made public appearances, his mother was Sherry, whose family was a powerful source of support. Even though
everyone thought Francis would not live long, Joyce Jun dared not offend him.
"Arise, please. You don't need to be so ceremonious with me," Joyce Jun said.

Then she turned around and walked away. "God! I was so scared just now," Francis blurted out as he wiped the sweat off his forehead after Joyce Jun turned away.

are late, it will be hard to excuse ourselves," she said.
"Yes." Zack kept his pace with Harper.
Looking at Francis who was walking in front of them, Harper asked softly, "Zack, how are you and Francis getting?"
Zack didn't reply immediately. He glanced at Francis and then said gently, "He is quite easy-going."
Hearing this, Harper almost broke into a smile and said, "That's just what he's like. He is always quiet and never very talkative.
You're not so different from him in that respect. How much do you even communicate with each other when you two are
