Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 825

It was the day of Barry and Nina's wedding at Prince Matthew's mansion. Although it was a wedding ceremony of a guard, a lot of people came, bearing all kinds of gifts. When Harper personally escorted Nina out, Anabel immediately started crying.

"Why are you crying? It's not like you won't see her again. It's just a wedding. She's free to come back here even after she gets married," Harper said while poking Anabel's head.

"I'm just glad that Nina's finally getting married. Your Highness, these are not tears of sadness but tears of joy." Anabel choked up.

"Yes, yes, I know you're happy. Will you cry even more when it's your time to get married? The groom will be scared if you ruin your make-up because of those tears," Harper teased her.

"Your Highness! You're just making fun of me." Anabel stamped her foot like a little child.

"The bridegroom is here."

Upon hearing that, Harper smiled and said, "Let's go. Your groom has arrived."

Nina nodded. Following Harper, she made her way outside with Anabel's help. Matthew was sitting in the hall which was already filled with people. When Barry saw the bride, he immediately stood up while his eyes instantly lit up.

When they were close enough, Harper handed Nina to Barry. "She's yours now."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take good care of her," Barry sincerely vowed.

Then, Harper sat next to Matthew while Barry and Nina knelt and bowed down three times to show their respect and say goodbye. After that, Barry carried the bride to the sedan chair. The procession started from Prince Matthew's mansion and headed for Barry's house, accompanied by loud and joyous music. Although his house was relatively small, it was spacious enough for the couple to live together comfortably.

"What now? Are you sad? Are you hesitant to let her go?" Matthew asked when he noticed that Harper was still looking at the gate.

"No, it's just, it feels a little different that the girls around me have grown up as well. Nina's marriage has been settled now. Before we know it, it's going to be Anabel, as well as Forsythia, Angelica, and Peony," Harper said with a smile.

"If they have someone they truly love, I won't hesitate to grant their marriages. You just worry too much," Matthew immediately said.

"Let's go. The bathing ceremony at the Kong Clan's mansion should begin any time soon. It's time for us to celebrate another occasion."

At the Kong Clan's mansion, Jabari's bathing ceremony had been scheduled to be held only three days after he was born. Although it was only the Bu Clan and Prince Matthew's family who were attending, the other clans, as well as the emperor, had sent out their gifts for the little boy.

"Great! I haven't played Go with you in such a long time. I'm dying to do it. Let's go." Matthew had long been waiting for an opportunity to get back at Zack. Today, since the man had proposed it himself, he wouldn't let him go. He wouldn't call himself Matthew until he defeated Zack to the point of no return.

As soon as she saw the two men leave, Harper followed a servant and walked towards Caroline's room. She didn't know how long she could stay in this city but she knew that she had to leave sooner or later. While she still had time, she wanted to say goodbye to the people and things she loved.

Meanwhile, a board was already placed in the pavilion, and the two men sat face to face. Zack grabbed several stones and asked, "Prime number or even number?"

"Even."

Zack put down the stones and counted in front of Matthew. "Your Highness, it's prime number. I won. I will choose the black stones and move first."

Matthew gritted his teeth, but that part of the game relied on luck alone. Apparently, he was not as fortunate as Zack so he couldn't do anything about it. But he believed that he could definitely defeat Zack since he had practiced his skills.

The servants stood far away from the two men, none of them wanting to get close. Matthew and Zack played Go as if they were fighting in an actual battle. The servants couldn't bear such tension, so they quickly went far away.

"Your Highness, don't give off such energy as if you want to kill somebody. You're scaring the servants," Zack reminded while he glanced at the servants who promptly kept their distance from them.
