Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"Good day, Your Majesty!" Pleasant though Matthew's words were in themselves, his entire manner was as cold and unexpressive as ever.

At first sight of the prince, the old emperor was filled with anxiety. He had planned to force Matthew to hand over the Black Flag Token in exchange for the Reviving Pill, but now he dared not attempt this. That very hour, Kevin had already occupied the north domain, and his general there, Walker Wang, had a reputation for great valor and skill on the battlefield. The emperor could send Shawn or Maxwell to fight against them there, but then he would be leaving himself and his imperial capital defenseless. He wouldn't put it past Matthew to take the opportunity to kill him and take the throne for himself. On the other hand, if he asked Matthew to go fight against the rebellion, there was a chance that Matthew would collude with Kevin and aid him in his rebellion. No matter what course of action the emperor took, it would be a gamble.

"What can I do for you, Matthew?" he asked after an uneasy pause. No matter what else happened, he resolved

to Matthew, took the Black Flag Token in both hands, and brought it over to his master. The aged monarch was lost in the moment as he beheld the token in his hand. A million thoughts rushed through his mind. So many years had passed during which he had made many attempts, some public and some secret, to force Matthew to give it to him. The wily prince had foiled all of those schemes, and yet suddenly things had changed since he had been given a wife. Matthew was willing to give up this great power just for Harper. 'A woman is a most powerful weapon indeed!' the emperor thought to himself.

"Andy," he called, emerging from his reverie.

"Yes, Your Majesty," came the reply.

"Go and get the Reviving Pill," the emperor ordered. "Clearly, this man and his wife love each other very much. Since that pill can help to save Harper's life, bring it here to Matthew."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After that, Andy turned around and hurried from the room. Meanwhile, Matthew finally stood up and began to wait quietly. In truth, he had no regrets about giving up the Black Flag Token.
