Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 858

Rolando didn't add any comment to that. If Matthew really wanted the throne, he would have easily killed the late emperor of the
Bright Dynasty. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Rolando was incredibly impressed with Matthew's morals. If he were
Matthew, the late emperor would have died a long time ago.
"Yeah, being an emperor is incredibly tiring." Rolando poured a cup of tea and handed it to Harper. As she was about to take it
from his hands, she caught a glimpse of a strange light from the corner of her eye. It made her jump in Rolando's arms, knocking
down the teacup on her way to him. As the hot liquid poured over Rolando's body, he was able to catch Harper by her waist.
A short black arrow then landed at a spot close to where Rolando was sitting. He would have been injured if it were not for
Harper's quick response. Soon, similar short black arrows started raining on their boat, quickly covering everything that was
exposed to them. Rolando's quick thinking made it possible for him and Harper to evade every shot that was fired in their
direction.
Rolando stood at the top of the boat with Harper and said, "It seems that our boat trip has been cut shorter than I would have
liked. Sorry to get you into trouble."
Standing back to back with Rolando, Harper answered, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. It's all my fault that I forgot your identity.
Now that you're an emperor, there must be so many assassins waiting for you to slip up so that they could kill you. I'm so sorry

yourself, Harper."
"Don't be so polite. I can't stand it anymore! You should treat me to dinner after we deal with all these bugs!" Harper shouted,

Once it reached them, a man came boarded their boat and said, "Rolando, I didn't know you are so weak that you need a woman to protect you!" It was Toby, Rolando's younger brother, the leader of the assassins, and he was sneering at Rolando. "Let me tell you. I was so surprised

"Humph, you have so many expert martial artists all the time. Today, there is only one woman with you, who definitely is a burden
to you. Do you think you can protect yourself and her at the same time?" Toby asked coolly. "Maybe if you're alone, I'd have
second thoughts about it!"
"A burden?" Rolando asked slowly while casting a glance at Harper. 'Right, Toby didn't know that she had already recovered her
fighting abilities,' he thought. Toby indeed thought Harper had only little knowledge of martial arts, making him not take her
