Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"What? That is terrible news," she exclaimed in surprise as one of her hands went to cover her mouth. "What torture! Had it been I in her position, I would rather choose death. At the very least, I want to depart from this world with a clean name. Being a military prostitute is the worst fate for a woman."

A spark lit up in Charles' eyes when he heard Harper's words. A twisted idea began to form itself.

However, if a mother's heart takes over and she chooses her daughter, then Father and Lady Sue are bound to be enemies." Harper laughed to herself as she anticipated what Sue's next move would be. She could be the weapon to Charles' undoing.
