In the Phoenix House, Harper's imposter was reading a medical book. She had been told that Harper did not have many
hobbies. Reading medical books was one of her few hobbies, so she pretended to read medical books as well. Nina went to the
window and shut it. "The rain is becoming very heavy. Your Highness, I'll get you a cloak, in case you feel cold."
"All right," Harper's imposter said without raising her head. In the past few days, Matthew hadn't visited the Phoenix House. Or to
be more precise, she hadn't seen him since the emperor's birthday banquet.
Nina went out briskly to fetch the cloak. Angelica came in with ginseng soup. She stood beside her, trying to think of something
to say. However, she didn't dare interrupt the false Harper, who seemed to be lost in thought. Therefore, Angelica could only look
at the imposter with her innocent eyes.
Her gaze was so intense that the false Harper couldn't ignore it anymore. She actually preferred to avoid speaking whenever
possible, because the more she spoke out, the greater the risk of giving away her true identity. But sometimes she still had to
respond to her maids, because too much silence would seem strange and also arouse suspicion. "Why are you staring at me like
this?" she finally asked.
Angelica opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she saw Nina coming in with a cloak in her hand. Angelica shut her
mouth right away and didn't dare to speak anymore. Nina put the cloak on the false Harper and said, "Your Highness, what
would you like to have for lunch today? I'll tell Anabel to prepare it."
"Anything. Is Matthew back now?" she asked.

"Not yet. The rain is falling heavily. I guess His Highness will come home late," Nina replied, glancing at Angelica. "Angelica, you
should also go to the kitchen to help. Don't disturb Her Highness if you have nothing else to do here."
Angelica looked again at the false Harper, and then looked back at Nina before she finally walked out slowly.
"Nina, you are becoming bolder nowadays," Harper's imposter said. Despite her words, the tone of her voice was flat.

her notice anything amiss. So she fidgeted with her handkerchief uneasily and spoke again after a long pause. "Prince Francis is here." "What is he doing here?" the false Harper asked as she raised her head to look at Nina, feeling disconcerted. She was ignorant of the relationship between Harper and Francis, of course, so she could only be

her eyes widened secretly. "Isn't he in poor health now? Why did he come here?" "Your Highness, have you forgotten that you are monitoring his condition and giving him treatment?" Nina said slowly, while staying on the alert for any change of facial expression on the false Harper. The false Harper was surprised by this. She had not imagined that Harper was actually treating

unwise to go out to see him. He might discover her identity when he faced her.
"I know. But why is he here now?" asked the fake Harper softly.
"I guess he wants to see you. Are you willing to see him?" If you don't, I'm afraid he won't leave. Prince Francis has been weak
and has been soaked in the rain for a long time. If anything happened to him, it might cause a lot of trouble for us," Nina replied.
The false Harper's brain was racing for a solution. If Francis got sick from standing out in the rain, she would probably need to
treat him, which was something she could not do. In that event, she would find herself in an even worse situation. Considering
this, she decided to go outside to see him.
"Fine. I'll go and see him," the false Harper said, as she stood up and walked out of the bedroom. She took the umbrella leaning
