Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

The knowledge that Howard would be sentenced to death three days later made Harrison anxious.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you would save my son?" There was blame and disappointment in his tone. The crown prince had promised solemnly that he would save his son, but according to the emperor's decree, Howard would be executed three days later. If Howard was killed, Harrison would have no son left.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, but he is too stupid. He not only fell into Uncle Kevin's trap, but he also sold me out!" Felix felt his anger rise at the thought of Howard betraying him in public. Now he was not only powerless to save him, but he also had fallen under his father's suspicion. 'When rain falls it pours!' he thought.

"Your Highness, I know my son's conduct was disappointing, but please save him." It had been years since Harrison had ever spoken to someone in such a humble manner, haughty as he was, even to the emperor. But now, for his only son, he was willing to humble himself and ask for the crown prince's help.

"Marquis Harrison, Father is suspicious of me, so I can't take do anything more to help Howard." Felix shook his head and refused to help him. Although he wanted to have Harrison's support, it was not worth it if he lost the emperor's trust as a result. What was more, there was one strong competitor to the throne—Hoffman, Harrison's nephew. Because of that, Harrison might not be willing to support him wholeheartedly.

"Your Highness, you mean that you are not going to help me?" asked Harrison in disbelief.

"Marquis Harrison, It's not that I don't

id Matthew with a sneer.

"Since you have gone straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush. Please save my son's life. I'll reward you for your help." Harrison knew that it was useless to negotiate with Matthew, so he had to put all his cards down. "If there's anything that I can do, I will not refuse."

"Anything?" Matthew asked nonchalantly.

"Anything you like."

"What if I ask you to kill Hoffman?"

Shock emerged on Harrison's face and he looked up at Matthew in disbelief. Hoffman was his nephew, and Howard was his son. If he killed Hoffman in order to save his son, his own future was doomed. "Well..."

"I was just kidding." Seeing that Harrison was in a dilemma, Matthew ordered, "Loosen him."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

For a moment, Harrison didn't understand what Matthew intended to do. Harper still hadn't said a word from beginning to end. However, Matthew seemed to weigh him up pretty well.

"I can save Howard, and you don't have to hurt Hoffman, but you have to promise me two things. First, you must leave the imperial capital immediately. You must not let anyone know about our deal, and you must never help Felix until the day your die," Matthew demanded.

"OK. I give you my word."

"Second, as soon as Howard is safe, he must swear that he will never hurt my wife, even if she wants to kill him."

Harrison looked at Harper, and thought, 'If she wants to kill Howard, but he couldn't escape, then I will just have to forget about him as useless. From now on, he must be extremely alert, so that she won't find a chance to kill him.'

"Deal."
