Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 743

In order to confirm if the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom really came to the inn for her, Harper decided to go downstairs and have a look. When she came out of her room, it so happened that she saw the keeper of the inn carefully making a pot of tea. It was a high-end tea set so Harper assumed that it was going to be served to the Holy Maiden.

The moment Harper appeared at the staircase, the Holy Maiden became aware of her presence. She poured a cup of tea by herself and pushed it to the opposite side of the table. While looking at Harper, she asked, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

Her words took Harper by surprise. At that point, Harper was certain that the Holy Maiden really came for her. But as far as she could remember, she hadn't had any contact with her. So she couldn't figure out why the respected maiden would invite her to have some tea.

Despite how stunned she was by the unexpected invitation from the Holy Maiden, Harper took the last few steps of the stairs with composure and sat down opposite her at the table. Then, she picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp. "Thanks for the tea, Your Grace."

The keeper and the waiters were so shocked that their faces turned deathly pale, as if it was kind of offensive to sit down and drink tea with the Holy Maiden. The keeper opened his mouth several times, with the intention of saying something to remind Harper, but he gave up eventually. He was afraid that it might be too presumptuous for him to say anything when the Holy Maiden didn't seem to mind Harper's behaviors. He was trying so hard to control himself that he even blushed with embarrassment.

In fact, the Holy Maiden noticed how uncomfortable the members of the staff were. However, she simply smiled and poured more tea to Harper's cup. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you. I concealed my identity when I went out yesterday. To my surprise, I was harassed by a pervert. If you hadn't stood out and helped me, I don't know how I would have dealt with that matter."

"You..." Harper murmured in shock while pointing at the Holy Maiden with her finger. It took her a short while before she could say anything more. "You're the lady with the veil who looked like a fairy yesterday!"

The Holy Maiden chuckled behind her hand because of how Harper described her. "Yes, I am the lady with the veil who was harassed yesterday."

The keeper was petrified by what the Holy Maiden said. He wondered who could be so bold as to disrespect the Holy Maiden. He believed that the man who did that had been courting death. The keeper then stared at the Holy Maiden. When he saw that she didn't seem upset with Harper's impoliteness, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can leave now. We don't need anyone to serve us here," the Holy Maiden said.

"Certainly, we're taking our leave now," the keeper said while immediately retreating from the room.
