Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 903

Instead of returning to the imperial capital of the Great Jade Kingdom, Rolando headed for the border as soon as he left. As he
did, he ordered his men to chase after Matthew and kill him right away. He also ordered Harper to be followed, but not hurt.
At that time, Toby was already at the border of the north domain, leading an army of three hundred thousand soldiers towards
Dragon Pass. Shawn and his army were also in the vicinity, but even though they were ready, they were still taken aback when
Toby decided to launch a sudden attack against them.
"General, they have an army of three hundred thousand men while we only have two hundred thousand. What should we do?"
the deputy general asked Shawn as he wiped the sweat on his face. "The enemy has appeared overnight and it seems like they
are fully ready for battle. I'm afraid the Great Jade Kingdom had planned this a long time ago."
Shawn was standing on the gate tower, blood still dripping down the sword in his hand. As he looked out, he answered, "We will
not go out and fight them head-on. We only need to protect Dragon Pass from inside. We need to make sure that they won't be
able to enter."
"But if they keep advancing and attacking our forces, I'm afraid..." the deputy general asked in a worried tone.
"Have you seen their leader?" Shawn asked, as he skimmed the scene outside. Soon, his eyes laid on the person who seemed
to be serving as the enemy's leader. Another moment passed and he was able to see the person's face clearly. Upon doing so,
however, he became confused. 'Is that Toby, the seventh prince of the Great Jade Kingdom? Why is he here and why is he
leading troops towards Dragon Pass? If he had such power over a large army, shouldn't he be attacking Rolando instead? Aren't
they fighting for the throne, still?' he thought.

"It seems to be Prince Toby of the Great Jade Kingdom," the deputy general answered with uncertainty. Everybody knew that
after Rolando returned to the imperial capital of the Great Jade Kingdom, he either killed or imprisoned all of his brothers. He had
no mercy on any of them, and so it would not be an exaggeration to say that every prince of the Great Jade Kingdom hated him

obliterating his merciless brother Rolando? And why wasn't he afraid that Rolando would just come out of nowhere and ambush him and his men? "We were fooled. Rolando fooled us all!" Shawn said coldly, more to himself than the deputy general he was talking to. "It looks like Toby had defected to Rolando's side a long time ago. Since it is no easy job to bring an army of three hundred thousand soldiers here, Rolando must have had this attack planned a long, long time ago. The coronation ceremony of the empress is nothing but a trap! He just intended to lure Prince

Matthew himself?" the deputy general questioned. He truly couldn't understand the fears Shawn was having. In his eyes, Matthew was a furious God of War. No country with sane leaders would invite him to come to their shores because he would only bring disaster to their land, especially once he became enraged. "Prince Toby's presence here means that Emperor Rolando is very likely to have already trapped Prince Matthew. Send a message to His Majesty at once. Tell him that we've already lost contact with Prince Matthew and Lady Harper, and that the Great Jade Kingdom is going

furrowed. 'Today is the day of the coronation ceremony, yet Emperor Rolando chose to send an army to conquer Dragon Pass.
The two countries have been at peace for a long, long time. Why is he trying to start a war?' he wondered.
The news of the Great Jade Kingdom's armed advancement against the Bright Dynasty spread all over the four kingdoms like
wildfire. When Lucas heard the news, however, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he became extremely calm. "The Great Jade
Kingdom is provoking us to start a war against us. What do you think about it?"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Shawn is very experienced in battles. We have two hundred thousand strong warriors at Dragon Pass.
From my point of view, I don't think we have to worry about this issue too much," a civil official said at once. "So I beseech you,

that it is a bad decision to offend our Bright Dynasty." "Zack, what do you think?" Lucas asked. With a serious look on his face, Zack started to explain, "Your
