Felton, of course, had felt the same feeling as well. Actually, he always felt the spiritual energy inside his body stir up each time he saw Harper. That was how he recognized Harper at first sight. His energy would only have this reaction when he met a member of the Qin Clan.
"Why have you come to the imperial capital?" Matthew asked slowly, with his eyes fixed on Felton, not wanting to miss any change on his face.
"I have two purposes. One is to come for treatment, and the other is to meet you," Felton replied as he stared at Harper with a touch of complexity in his eyes. "Your Highness, I guess your spiritual energy in your body has already fluctuated. There are some things you have to deal with. You will need to go to the ancestral temple of the Qin Clan."
"Yes, I will find an opportunity to pay a visit to that place," Harper replied.
Hearing her promise, Felton nodded his head a few times. He then looked to Matthew and said, "May I have a private talk with you?"
"Well, you can talk here. I'll go back to my place first," Harper proposed gently. She then stood up and walked outside. Although she was curious about what they would discuss, she decided to leave them alone if Felton wanted to talk with Matthew privately. She was sure that Matthew would do nothing wrong.
"If you have something to say, you may say it now," Matthew said after Harper left. For some reason, he sensed that what Felton was going to say would not be nice.
"Before this, I have a question to ask," Felton said. After a pause, he looked at him and asked, "Who is more important, Harper or the baby in her belly?"
"They are both of the highest importance to me!" replied Matthew at once, without thinking twice. He had no idea why Felton would ask such a strange question.
"What if only one of them can be saved?" Felton posed another strange question.
"Tell me who has the ability to hurt either of them!" When Matthew said those words, a flash of murderous energy gushed out from him. This made Felton's face grow paler and paler. There was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Master..." Felton's servant, Mathias, said in concern.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me," Felton said, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He then stood up and bowed slightly in farewell. "Your Highness, I guess that you have already discovered a lot of information about the Qin Clan. And you must have figured out that you can't afford to have this baby born by her."
Hearing that, Matthew narrowed his eyes and looked at Felton coldly, "What do you mean by that?"
"Most people in the Qin Clan have magic power. The women of the Qin Clan are especially well-endowed in this respect. Do you have any idea why?" Felton asked calmly as he looked at Matthew's face, which was turning more sullen with every passing second.
