With her arms wrapped around Matthew's neck, Harper said with a charming smile, "Darling, is the show for today's birthday
banquet very interesting?"
"Do you really want to know?" Matthew asked with amusement when he saw that Harper's face was filled with interest.
"Although I have my personal guesses about the result, it will be interesting to hear it from you." Harper was an excellent
manipulator. By flattering Matthew, she had found a way to make him say what she wanted.
"Walden was stripped off his royal titles and was demoted as a commoner. He was also banished to the southeast. Meanwhile,
Felix is under house arrest." Matthew had stated his words so casually but it made Harper speechless for a few moments.
Because of her reaction, the smile in Matthew's eyes became more obvious.
"Is that all? It should be a very exciting story. Why did it become so pale and boring when you said it?" Harper asked, refusing to
accept that there wasn't more to the story.
"I summarized it for you and made it as simple as possible. Isn't that what you want?" Matthew didn't forget that when Harper
saw the files on his table the other day, she said that there was a lot of nonsense in those files. He was rather surprised to see
how annoyed she was at that point. She even suggested that his men should write the files in a simple and straight to the point
manner. If their reports were still full of so much nonsense, they should be severely punished. Now, he only did what she had
suggested before, didn't he?
Harper was choked for a while. Then she continued, "My suggestion was that the official files should be simple and straight to
the point. I wasn't talking about the stories. Since stories are meant for entertainment, they should be amusing. The more

strange and diverting elements there are, the better."
Matthew then removed her arms from his neck and put her down. "So you want to hear those kinds of stories, right? But the only
problem is that I don't want to tell a story like that."

I won't ever fake not knowing you again. I just want to see if you can recognize me at a simple glance. Please don't be mad anymore." "You left me with another woman who I didn't even know. If you want me to tell a story, perhaps, I should just tell it to that woman in the Phoenix House." Just from his voice alone, it was hard to tell whether he was fine or upset. He wasn't shouting, but his words made Harper

forced me to take a woman back." Embarrassed, Harper explained, "I didn't mean to do that. Please believe me when I tell you that the empress set me up." "But you didn't reveal it to me, did you?" "Because as your

"Really?" Matthew asked, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
Harper briefly kissed him on the cheek before responding. "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
In an instant, the darkness in Matthew's eyes disappeared as if it hadn't been there at all. "In this case, I'll forgive you. Do you
still want me to tell you the story?"
"I honestly don't since you've already told me the ending. There's no fun in hearing what happened." Then, Harper picked up the
teapot and poured a cup of tea. The tea was already cold so Matthew took the cup and reheated it using his internal force. After
a few seconds, he handed it to Harper before saying, "Francis had done things in a very ruthless way. He straight on turned
Walden into a commoner. He even made the emperor suspect Felix and put him under house arrest. Apparently, we have

the cup of hot tea. With a confused expression on her face, she asked, "Are you sure it was Francis who did all of that?" "Yes, I'm. Because the only two people who would have the intent to go against Felix was me or Francis. And since
