In the middle of the dinner, the atmosphere suddenly became more tensed. Lucas moved his chair closer to Zack and asked,
"Zack, did I say something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, aren't you hungry?" Zack asked while he stretched out his hand, picked up a chicken leg, and forcibly placed it
into Lucas' mouth. After that, he continued, "Eat more and talk less. Or, do you want to go back to the Imperial Palace to have
dinner?"
Desperately shaking his head, Lucas felt quite confused. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with his question, so he
wondered why everyone else was reacting as if he said something unforgivable.
"We won't stay in the imperial capital for long. We might actually go to the Wonder Kingdom. After making a diagnosis and
possibly curing Wendy, we'll probably go," Matthew slowly said after being silent for quite a while.
"You're going to leave again?" Zack asked, very much surprised to hear this news. He always felt like as time went by, Harper
went farther and farther away from him. It felt as if they were no longer in the same world. Even though she was sitting right in
front of him at that moment, he still felt like she was a thousand worlds away.
Raising her head to look at Zack, Harper said, "We have to take a trip to the Wonder Kingdom because there's something that I
have to do there. But we won't leave before we have settled everything in the imperial capital."
Despite what she said, it still made Zack's heart jump for a second. According to what she said, it could mean that she was going
to leave the Bright Dynasty, not for a short period of time, but for long, or perhaps, she would never come back.

"Will you come back?" Zack couldn't help but ask while staring at Harper with subtle intensity. He knew that he was just a feeble
scholar who couldn't be around her all the time. But he was willing to stay in the Bright Dynasty's imperial capital just to wait for
her, if she were to come back.

she was going to do outside of the Bright Dynasty, he thought that it was enough to know that eventually, she was going back to the imperial capital. "Young master!" All of a sudden, the door was pushed open and a young man rushed in. "Young master, something happened! Lady Caroline is about to give birth to her baby. The Lord and Lady are on the way to the Kong Clan's mansion. They told

confirmation, a little baffled about the sudden news. At the same time, he stood up, prepared to leave at any second. Following him, Harper stood up as well. "I'll go with you," she said. "Okay." The two of them quickly left, while Matthew and Lucas remained to their seats, without moving. Neither of them said a word.

"Probably," Matthew plainly replied.
"Where are you going?" Lucas didn't know why but he felt somewhat alarmed when he heard Matthew say that he would leave
the Bright Dynasty as soon as he arrived. Matthew was the protector for the Bright Dynasty, as his Black Flag Army was
invincible. If he left, the military power of the Bright Dynasty would be greatly decreased.
"I don't know yet," Matthew replied while he looked away in the distance.
"Does that mean you won't leave in the near future, Uncle Matthew?" Lucas asked, breathing a sigh of relief. He had just
ascended the throne, becoming the emperor of the Bright Dynasty. So his position was not yet stable. If Matthew left the Bright

was improper for him, an outsider and a male, to be present when a woman was in labor. Lucas put down his chopsticks as well. He asked, "Will Aunt Harper leave with you?" "Of course. But before we leave, I will help you clear every obstacle
