"My darling is so considerate and sweet! How did you know that I am so hungry?" With a wide smile, Harper went to the table,
sat down, and took the chopsticks from Matthew. She then asked, "Will Francis get rid of us? After all, we are a loose end to his
elaborate plan."
Matthew placed some food in front of Harper and said, "At this moment, I don't think he would. As you said, he's still recovering.
Also, the emperor will not suspect him at all for two reasons. One, because he's weak and two, because he had once saved his
life. The emperor will believe that I had planned everything."
"Then, I guess it's time to admit that I'm really quite impressed with Francis. Darling, do you have any wine here?" Harper asked
abruptly.
"No, you shouldn't drink since you have a very low tolerance for alcohol." Matthew was worried that Harper would lose herself
once she had wine. Although he liked to see drunk Harper, her health was more important to him.
Harper put down her chopsticks and said, "Then forget it. I admire Francis for his hard work and intelligence in coming up with
such a plan. But if he had the ability to think of such a complex scheme, he should be able to notice that he was being poisoned
for so many years."
"It was the emperor who poisoned him," Matthew supplied.
With those few words, Harper's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe what she just heard. But soon enough, she felt a
sense of ease. "It's not surprising that there's an emperor who would poison his own son since there's a father like Charles. No
wonder, Francis could still be tricked by poison, even though he is very intelligent. Anyways, since it's becoming clear that the

emperor does like to use poison, I'm afraid that it was him who poisoned our mother—Lady Cecilia as well."
In a second, the intent to kill was seen across Matthew's eyes. Cecilia's death had left a wound in his heart that would never
heal. Since a long time ago, it was clear to him that the emperor had something to do with his mother's death. Now, he was

the things that were done by the empress is the emperor. His purpose is to ruin me. But I did something awful in return." Harper stretched out her index finger and pointed it high in the air. "What kind of awful thing?" As

Suddenly, an intense look could be seen in Matthew's eyes. "Do you have some sort of drug?"
"Drug? What kind of drug?" Harper idly asked. She wasn't sure if Matthew was upset or not.
"After taking this kind of drug, a man will never be able to touch a woman again. I want to give this kind of drug to the emperor as
his birthday gift. He already has so many sons and daughters, so he doesn't need to have any more children. For the sake of his
body, I want to give him the drug," Matthew frantically said.
Harper giggled with her hand covering her mouth. "Then, the emperor would only be able to watch his beautiful concubines
instead of touching them. That sounds interesting!"

that's perfect. When it's finished, give it to me and I will give it to the emperor." Matthew put his hands on both sides of the chair and leaned closer to Harper. "Since that had been settled, let me teach you something you don't know yet." "Wait!" Harper exclaimed while she
