With an innocent smile on her face, Harper said, "I've been poisoned? When did it happen? I didn't even realize it."
"I smeared poison on the empress' robe I gave you yesterday," Francis said as he looked at Harper, feeling quite sorry for her in
his heart. "I knew Uncle Matthew would surely show up today, so I came up with such a plan just in case."
Matthew didn't utter a single word and simply stared at Harper. Harper then took a step toward Francis and asked him, "What do
you want?"
"I want you to leave with me," Francis said, still not willing to give up. A sensible person should know clearly how to make a
decision between dying or leaving with him. "Let Uncle Matthew become the new emperor. To tell you the truth, the throne isn't
really what I've always wanted."
"He has no interest in the throne," Harper stated, slowly walking toward Francis. Seeing this, Ken frowned slightly and held the
sword tighter, as if he was unsure whether he should put it away or continue pointing it at Francis' neck.
Gently pushing Ken's sword away, Harper said, "General Ken, the sword is too sharp. You should be careful. You might injure
me."
Before making a decision, Ken looked at Matthew. Seeing that Matthew didn't say anything or show any sign of being against it,
he immediately drew back his sword and took a step back.
"Uncle Matthew, do you really have no interest in the throne?" Francis asked in curiosity. When he saw Harper stand in front of

him, he instantly understood what her decision was going to be. Matthew didn't dare to stop her, because he didn't want to risk
her life. However, there was no way he was going to give up so easily. "Lucas is inferior to you in terms of both prestige and
ability. If you ascend the throne and become the emperor, the Bright Dynasty would be capable of competing against the Great

Matthew was different from all of the previous emperors in the history of the Bright Dynasty, for he was a man who didn't know how to give

chips in my hands." "It's good that you are aware of my abilities. Before I want to cut you into

Before he could finish his sentence, the clear sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh suddenly came through. Then,
Francis lowered his head to have a look in utter disbelief. With a faint smile on her face, Harper looked at the grief-stricken
Francis. Without so much as a hint of mercy, she pushed the dagger deeper into his body.
"Has anyone ever told you that I am a woman who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance?" Harper whispered right into
Francis' ear. "I've told you before. If you dare to lay a finger on my man, I will never let you go so easily."
Francis opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. At first, he had thought that the reason why Harper stabbed him was
because he had poisoned her. However, she had made it very clear that her reason was because he had taken action against

you want to get the antidote?" Francis asked. At that moment, it was too painful to breathe. The one person he had loved so deeply gave him a fatal blow right when he was caught up in the most difficult situation. At that moment, Harper wore such a bright and lovely smile, which made her look like a beautiful flower. But in Francis' eyes, she seemed so cold that he felt as though his blood could
