Lucas, who has been sent to coordinate the disaster relief efforts, finally got back to the imperial capital.
He went straight for reporting to the emperor as soon as he entered the Imperial Palace, but was stopped by Francis.
"Francis, it's been a long time. I'm happy to see you in good health. Congratulations!" Even though his performance was
laudable during the disaster relief, Lucas was still frivolous. He said with a casual smile, "Francis, I met a beautiful lady in Stream
County this time. I was so mesmerized by her beauty that I almost forgot everything and didn't even want to come back."
"Your help in the disaster relief was commendable. Father has always been thinking about you. If he comes to know that you
were late because you got mesmerized by a beauty, he'll teach you a hard lesson." Francis spoke in a gentle voice and smiled

Francis stopped and asked, "Aunt Harper? What did she say to you?" "She exalts you and really admires you very much." Lucas kept looking at Francis up

while, but why didn't Lilian come to see me?"
"Lilian is preparing for her wedding."
"What? Is she ready to marry?" Lucas looked at Francis in shock and said, "Oh my God! Lilian finally came to her senses. I'm
happy that she is no more clinging to that monk Chodak and will get married. Well, who is that lucky man who persuaded her to
change her mind?"
Francis gave a stern look at Lucas and said, "Rolando, the emperor of Great Jade Kingdom."

is suffering from domestic as well as external trouble and is restless now. Uniting with Great Jade Kingdom is in our interest. I asked for Father's advice and then he agreed." "No way!" Lucas refused without hesitation. Rolando had no love for Lilian.
