Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 676

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Lucas felt very worried. Since Matthew was the one in charge of the matters concerning Lilian's
marriage to the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, Lucas thought that if he could somehow manage to persuade Matthew,
Lilian might be able to escape the fate of marrying a man from a foreign country solely for the sake of peace between the two
countries.
"Your Highness, Prince Lucas wants to see you."
"Prince Lucas?" Harper asked in surprise. "Are you sure he wants to see me and not Matthew?"
"Your Highness, His Highness has yet to return, and Prince Lucas said that he wants to see you specifically."
"All right. Let him in." Harper went on reading the book in her hand, which was about the Great Jade Kingdom, including many
unknown places and customs they had.
When Lucas came in, he saw Harper sitting in the swing in the yard, holding a book in her hand. She seemed to be completely
absorbed in the book she was reading. "Aunt Harper," Lucas greeted her.
"Have a seat," Harper said in a rather flat tone. "I heard that you did an excellent job in the disaster relief program this time, so
much so that the people were singing praises to you. You look like a real prince now."
"You're probably just teasing me, Aunt Harper," Lucas said with a bitter smile. "I've come here today to ask for your help."
"Ask for my help?" Harper echoed, feeling so curious. "I'm just a housewife. How can I be of help to you?"
"Please persuade Uncle Matthew to object to Lilian's marriage to the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom."
Upon hearing that, Harper understood in an instant the reason for Lucas' sudden visit. He was afraid that Lilian might end up

having a miserable life if she married the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom for the sake of the peace between the two
countries, so he wanted to stop the marriage from taking place.
"Do you have any idea why Princess Lilian volunteered to marry the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom?" Harper asked after

he just wasn't in the mood for some tea. The two of them, Lucas and Lilian, had grown up together, and he had been fond of her, so he didn't want to

former crown prince of the Great Jade Kingdom. Because of the turmoil in the Great Jade Kingdom recently, he had to give up his identity as Chodak and resumed his identity as Rolando. It wasn't until she found out that Rolando is Chodak that Lilian volunteered to marry the emperor in order to bring peace between the two countries. You should know better than anyone just how much she loves Chodak." Upon the words, Lucas' hands couldn't stop trembling as he held the teacup. It took him several tries before he finally managed to take a sip

imperial monk who looked pure and clean and had been completely disillusioned with the mortal world.
"But...how did you know?"
"Chodak told me himself," Harper lied with a straight face. Truth be told, Matthew was actually the one who told her that, but she
would never tell Lucas that Matthew had actually been aware of Chodak's real identity long ago and yet he just let him hide in the
Bright Dynasty for five years. After all, disclosing this information would put Matthew in quite a disadvantageous situation.
"Oh, I forgot that Chodak often played games of Go with you when he was serving as the imperial monk."
"Yeah," Harper nonchalantly said. "There's nothing you can do to stop the marriage, and you don't really even have to think

clear to Rolando that Lilian has a deep root and background in the Bright Dynasty, and that if she is ever treated unfairly in the Great Jade Kingdom, you will not let him off and will make him accountable." "Aunt Harper, I..." Lucas stammered, swirling the teacup
