Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 749

Ignoring her complaint, the Holy Maiden casually sat down in the main seat and looked at Diana with a cold expression on her face. "Princess Diana, what brings you here?"

Diana gritted her teeth with a ferocious look and responded, "I heard that you invited Prince Matthew and his wife to visit the Starry Palace. Is that true?"

"I don't think I need to report this to you. Whether it's true or not, I don't think it has anything to do with you. Please don't fret about matters that don't concern you. You can leave now if you don't have any other questions. I have guests to entertain and I'm very busy," the Holy Maiden perfunctorily replied.

"Catherine, please keep in mind that you're my elder sister!" Diana exclaimed in anger. She was becoming more and more anxious. Now that Matthew and Harper were in the Starry Palace, it would be an excellent chance for her. As long as the Holy Maiden, Catherine, would help her in detaining Matthew, Diana was sure that it would be much easier to deal with Harper.

However, Catherine grew angry. Her eyes became colder and colder while she stared at Diana. "You can't say things like that. Diana, you should remember that as the Holy Maiden, I don't have any relatives or friends anymore. I'm an orphan!"

Diana was rendered speechless when she heard that. Catherine was only telling the truth. The day when she became the Holy Maiden, she was no longer her elder sister. However, they still had the same blood running in their veins. So, Dianna insisted that they were still sisters.

"Please, sister, I need your help!" Diana started begging. She had finally figured out that Catherine wouldn't help her if she demanded for help forcefully. So she decided to try another way. By pretending to be very pitiful, she was attempting to knock into Catherine's heart.

Catherine, on the other hand merely sneered, "Humph. You need my help? You must be kidding me. There is nothing in this world that I can do to help you. And even if I can, I would never do it. I'm not going to say it again. Leave, right now." Emphasizing on her last three words, Catherine firmly and slowly told her sister off.

"Catherine! I'm showing you kindness and this is how you're treating me! You should see it as an honor! Don't test my patience now!" Diana warned in a stern tone. She was so furious that her face turned red. In her opinion, they were still sisters and what she was trying to do was for the sake of the South Kingdom. So she couldn't understand why Catherine was so opposed to her.

Despite this, Catherine remained distant and indifferent. There was no expression on her face at all. On the contrary, there were so many emotions on Diana's face—disappointment, sadness, but most of all anger. She became so furious from the embarrassment that she really wanted to fight Catherine at that moment. In fact, they did do it within minutes. When Harper and Matthew arrived a few moments after that, the two of them were so engaged in the fight that it was hard to separate them. Both of them were good at using poison, but they didn't use any kind of poison this time. They resorted to physical aggression, making use of their martial arts skills.

"I would have never expected in a million years for the Holy Maiden to be quite good at fighting. I mean, she did look so gentle and even fragile at times. Diana has a bad temper, so it affects her performance in a fight easily. And now that Francis has become her husband, I'm kind of curious whether she has control over him," Harper commented while her eyes went wide at the sight of the two women fighting.

When Matthew heard Harper's remark about the relationship between Francis and Diana without any pressure or emotional burden, he was very happy. Francis had tried to take Harper away from him again and again. But now, his wife Francis had been obsessing with was commenting on the man's personal life with another woman in a mocking tone. What was more, she had grown to dislike Francis very much. With this in mind, Matthew immediately felt that it was so good to have one fewer competitor.
