Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 787

For a brief second, the expression on Harper's face changed when she heard Darren's name. However, no matter how short the
change was, Howard still noticed it. He thought that the man who saw her off was certainly Darren, the young lord of Phoenix
City. Also, the young lord must be well acquainted with Harper. Otherwise, why did he come to see her off in person? Howard
had been very much aware of how many things he didn't know about Harper. But now, he was more confident that he really
didn't know Harper at all.
Diana had also heard of the young lord of Phoenix City before, but she didn't know much about him. However, she thought that
this man was also a significant person, no inferior to Rolando and Matthew. Phoenix City had always kept to themselves. They
didn't bother anyone or even show off whatever they had. It was for this matter that only a few people knew about Darren's
name.
"Harper, we should have some rest. We've been traveling for a very long time," Howard suggested. He wanted to know the
extent of her relationship with Phoenix City. But he knew better than anyone that no one could force her if she didn't want to talk
about it. There was probably a good chance that he couldn't find out anything about their relationship.
Harper turned back to face them and immediately saw that both Howard and Diana looked tired. They weren't able to rest
comfortably while crossing the Labyrinth Swamp. And they began to move forward after having a short break in Phoenix City.
Everyone was actually exhausted at that point.
"We're only ten miles away from a small town. We can stay and rest in an inn there; it will be more comfortable and safe." Upon

reaching the said inn, Harper looked into the distance, only to find out that they weren't far away from the Birch Pass. However,
the problem was that if they continued any longer, their bodies wouldn't be able to stand it anymore. 'So close, yet so far,' Harper
mumbled to herself.

home and never went out at all. For as long as she could remember, she had always looked down on them. Now that she met the valiant Harper who was completely not a normal woman, she was convinced otherwise. After crossing the Labyrinth Swamp, Harper was even motivated to travel day and night. Even Harper didn't treat herself as a human being. Meanwhile, there was tension in the Birch Pass. Shawn turned his attention to Matthew who was practicing his swordsmanship on the training ground.

Don't forget, I'm still injured." Then, Shawn covered his wound and added, "Get out of my way. I need to go back and lie down. I think my wound just opened up." Joshua held Shawn's arm and said, "How shameless you are, Shawn! I just asked you to persuade His Highness to take care of himself a little better. You're

someone with one blow. It would only be wise not to disturb him at that time. Shawn thought that if Matthew were to beat him up
and he'd be injured once again, he wouldn't know how he could live in the future!
"But His Highness..." Joshua tried once again.
"No matter what you say, I won't go!" At that, Shawn left and walked towards the crowd. Ever since Matthew came back from the
South Kingdom, he had been like this. It was apparent that a huge factor was because he wasn't able to see Harper in the South
Kingdom. They could only assume that whatever news he found out about Harper, it wasn't that bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't
