Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 720

"Oh? Is that so? Tell me," Diana asked with interest. She actually noticed that he didn't feel that well. But still, she chose to ask
because she knew that Francis wouldn't like to talk about his state.
After some dry coughs, he took the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine, and quickly drank some again. This way, he suppressed his
desire to cough. "I heard that the Worship Ceremony will be held in the South Kingdom very soon."
"Yes, it's a very important ritual for us," Diana slowly said. The Worship Ceremony was a grand event for everyone in the South
Kingdom. If anything unpleasant were to happen during the actual ceremony, the people believed that the kingdom would be in
trouble since bad luck would descend upon them.
"It's a good opportunity to attract Matthew into coming to the South Kingdom. There are two things on how this will work. One,
the kingdom sends invitations to all the other countries to participate in the Worship Ceremony. And two, you include a promise
to show something really fascinating in the invitation letter. I'm sure Matthew and his men wouldn't be able to decline," Francis
said without haste which would make anyone feel comfortable upon hearing his voice.
Diana carefully thought about his plan before asking, "What kind of thing would be fascinating enough to lure him?"
"How about the Holy Article from your kingdom?" Francis suggested.
For a moment, there was a twinkle in Diana's eyes. The Holy Article of the South Kingdom was actually medicines. But she didn't
believe that Matthew would fall into the trap if she lured him through that. After all, Matthew was a prince and already owned
various medicines all over the world. It would be unnecessary for him to risk his life by coming to the South Kingdom just for

some medicines.
"I'm afraid he won't take that kind of bait," Diana said.
"As long as you spread the news far and wide, I'm sure he will come. Trust me," Francis said with a little difficulty. He then

for a little while and took a deep breath. At that moment, the exhaustion had started to sink in. So he closed his eyes in an attempt to feel a little bit better. "I'm very certain because if there's anything unusual happening in the South Kingdom, they will suspect that it has something to do with me. Whether it's true or not, they will come there to take a look in person." "I see. Well, that makes sense," Diana replied after giving it a thought for a while. Then she looked at Francis and noticed that the man

spoke, his voice was as gentle as the wind. He was also very good-looking and she had to admit that he had a face that nobody could resist. If she were to only

felt what she was doing and unconsciously furrowed his eyebrows. It even looked like he was irritated by it, but he didn't wake
up. "It appears like the men of the Bright Dynasty's royal family are all quite handsome," Diana commented to herself.
Then, Francis started to mumble random words in his sleep. Diana couldn't understand him clearly, but there was one thing he
said loud enough that it was hard for her not to hear. "Harper," he murmured. At that, Diana couldn't help but laugh. "You are so
strong that you would never shed tears even in a reality as grim as this. But you still treasure her even though she hurt you so
much. Why do you keep on doing this to yourself?"
Later on, Diana pulled the curtain open. She looked at Owen who had been driving the carriage. When he saw Diana, he was

Diana laughed. "Don't worry. He'll be fine. He just fell asleep. He was seriously injured but still ran all the way here. So, he is in dire need of some rest," she comforted. "Thank you for saving him, Princess Diana," Owen said. "You're welcome. We're helping each other after all. It seems like your master likes Harper a lot. Am I right?"
