For the past few days, Ken had been taking his men to annihilate Francis' force. In the middle of it all, they found someone who
took them by surprise. When the person was taken back to Matthew's mansion, everyone was too stunned to speak because
they had all thought that the person in front of them was already dead.
Harper was no exception. She couldn't believe her eyes. After reaching out to carefully touch the person's face, she said, "You're
real. Everyone, he's not fake."
The person in front of her—Jack, wanted to cry but he didn't have any tear. "Your Highness, how could you have been so
heartless? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been captured by Prince Francis!" he complained.
Harper pointed at her own nose with her finger. With an innocent expression on her face, she asked, "Did it have anything to do
with me?"
Even while listening to Harper at that moment, Jack felt extremely weak. Since he fell into Francis' hands, he had been
imprisoned for nearly a year. In the beginning, there had been someone who was constantly observing him and imitating his
movements, tone, and martial arts skills. He was locked up in a black prison and there was nothing he could do to escape. But
every time he pondered on the person's purpose for closely observing and copying him, he was so furious that his whole body
trembled with anger.
"One of Francis' followers was disguised as your maid. That was how they fooled me into their trap," Jack explained, wishing he
could cry out. The entire time which he had been abducted, he actually thought that Harper's maid had betrayed her. He didn't
have any idea that it was an enemy's trick. Thus, he had walked into the trap and been captured. What was more horrible was
that someone had disguised as him and gone back to Matthew's mansion. Even Jack couldn't figure out any difference between

the fake one and himself.
"Oh, I see. No wonder something like that happened to you despite your shrewdness. I would think that it would more likely
happen to Fred or Barry. I guess those wicked people were just really skilled in manipulation," Harper willfully stated.

left, Jack looked at Anabel with a deep grievance. For her, he had fallen into the enemy's trap because he suspected that she had betrayed Harper. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been abducted in the first place. After Jack left, Harper held Matthew's hands and asked, "You're very happy to see him alive. So why are you still going to punish him?" "Order will never be maintained without rules or standards. He is too sloppy. Among

had been captured was not only because he had the weakest martial arts skills among the four, but also because he wasn't
vigilant enough. Barry might look like a nerd, but he was extremely cautious and mindful. Fred, on the other hand, had powerful
martial arts skills. He could become unnaturally strong when he needed to be. As for Ken, the fact that the late emperor had
never discovered his true identity was an indication of how cautious he had been.
Shifting the topic of the conversation, Matthew said, "By the way, we have received an invitation letter from the South Kingdom.
Including us, they're requesting the presence of the other countries to watch their Worship Ceremony. This is actually out of
character for the South Kingdom. The Worship Ceremony is extremely important to them. In order to avoid any trouble from
happening, they have never allowed outsiders to watch the rites. But this time, they have asked all the other countries to send

to go within the Bright Dynasty. It would be difficult for Matthew and Harper to find him if he was hiding in the South Kingdom. But if he had reached an agreement to be allied with them in such a short time, he must have had something to trade with them.
