Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 661

Raising her eyebrow, Harper moved the cherry in her mouth to the other cheek. "Do you want to say he's hiding or is it something else?"

The smile on Zack's face faded. "It is said that the Great Jade Kingdom's former crown prince, Prince Rolando, suddenly went back to the imperial capital of the kingdom. At this moment, it wouldn't be too wise to expose your relationship with him."

"Oh, you guessed that?" Harper asked.

Zack sighed. "Master Chodak is too well-known. It would be so easy for people to feel suspicious about his death and investigate the matter. Moreover, if Master Chodak really went to heaven, why is Princess Lilian acting so normally? Plus, Rolando suddenly returned to the imperial capital. After I thought about the whole thing a little more, the whole situation became clear to me. There is no doubt that he is a tough opponent. If he ascends the throne of the Great Jade Kingdom, it won't be good for our Bright Dynasty if things keep going on like this in our court."

Meanwhile, Harper seemed indifferent to the whole thing. "Shawn said that there were some changes in the north domain which were related to Rolando. Nevertheless, he saved my life and I owe him a huge favor. But Matthew and I agreed that we would not get involved in the internal strife of the Great Jade Kingdom."

In a second, Zack swallowed back the words which were on the tip of his tongue. If possible, he had hoped that Matthew could do something about the situation of the Great Jade Kingdom. He was truly hoping that Matthew could even prevent Rolando from ascending the throne. But Rolando had saved Harper's life. So it would be impossible that Rolando would not take advantage of this and ask for Matthew's help. Zack was afraid that Matthew wouldn't even send one soldier to stop Rolando from becoming the heir to the throne.

Zack then looked at Harper and firmly said, "So instead, you're going to let the tiger go back to its mountain and cause problems to our country."

"It's survival of the fittest. The world is always ruled by a more capable ruler. Zack, our purpose has been clear from the beginning. We are not guarding the generations after generations of the Bright Dynasty's royal family. We are here to protect our relatives, friends, and then the mere citizens of this world," Harper slowly exclaimed.

"Prince Matthew is a member of the royal family!" Zack tried to reason out.

Placing emphasis on her every word, Harper spat out, "So what? The members of the royal family have never treated him as one of its members. They selfishly and ruthlessly use him when they need him. And when they don't, they keep on hurting him. We have never and will never protect the royal family because those people have never been a family to Matthew."

When Zack heard this, he didn't agree or disagree with her. Instead, he remarked, "As long as you have a clear conscience, our Bu Clan will always be behind you."

"Thank you, Zack."
