Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"I've heard you. I just need to consider the next steps," the emperor said as he stood up and left the jail without looking back. Howard could sense his anger and murderous intent. 'Harper, you've trapped me here in this jail and I've lost everything because of you. Do you think I will let you get away with this? I'm sure you never guessed that the emperor would come to talk to me in prison! You are doomed!' he murmured inwardly, seeing the emperor disappear into the distance.

She didn't need to think hard to guess what Howard might have said to the emperor.

"Nina," she called.

"Here I am," Nina responded.

"You may go and rest. I don't need anything now," Harper ordered as she furrowed her eyebrows.

ainst me before you. He is a sinister villain," Harper added.

"You mean you didn't know that Howard committed treason?"

"I had no idea at all," Harper replied quickly and decisively. "If I had known it earlier, I would surely have reported it to you in order to exterminate the murderer of my grandmother.

Now your suspicions against me have been aroused, which means that his plan has begun to work. Under these conditions, you won't continue using me to deal with Matthew. Your plan would be in vain."

"I don't know whom I should believe. Can you prove your loyalty to me?" the emperor asked as he looked at her with cloudy eyes. He was like a poisonous snake in the darkness, ready to pounce on Harper at any time and gave her a fatal bite.
