Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

In the carriage, Noah was somewhat amused to see Harper acting as if she had escaped from a fire pit.

"Your Highness," he asked at length, "are you afraid of Nanny Maggie?"

She gave him a gloomy look. "If there was someone who constantly tried to find fault with you, and then suddenly they started being so sweet and concerned about you for no apparent reason, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Noah's smile was automatic. "Nanny Maggie is not a bad person. She was just worried that you might've had an ulterior motive."

Harper didn't reply at first. She knew her own intentions perfectly well. Her only ulterior motive was to undermine the Chu Clan while hiding under Matthew's protection.

"I've hidden nothing from His Highness," she said, her voice low and serious. "As long as I'm in this mansion, I will do nothing to harm him or his interests."

"I know that," replied Noah. He had no suspicions concerning

lady in the imperial capital would be fighting for a chance to marry into Prince Matthew's mansion."

Harper smirked back at her. "Your elder brother Zack is a gentle and handsome man. Now, he'd be a perfect husband for countless beautiful ladies in the imperial capital. He treats everyone with gentleness and politeness. Any day now, the matchmakers are sure to start trampling on the threshold of your mansion. Do you feel hot?"

"Why would I feel hot?" asked the other woman, furrowing her brow.

"Because those beauties are so passionate and hot."

"You are so bad, Harper!" Caroline laughed, gently punching her in the shoulder. Seeing this brought joy to Zack's heart, but there was a little bitterness as well for him.

His sister had always had a lively nature which was quite different from that of Zack, who preferred quiet. When they could finally talk in peace, though, he was at a loss for words.
