Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

After coming home from the Imperial Palace, Matthew gazed at Harper in sadness. Her scalp went numb under his disturbing gaze. He remained silent. The sadness in his eyes never diminished.

"Did His Majesty make trouble for you again?" Harper asked. Judging by the terrible look on his face, she speculated that the emperor might have found fault with him.

The sadness in his eyes grew more intense as he gazed at her. He was now looking like a hopeless and abandoned housewife. The unhappiness seemed to have engulfed him.

Seeing him in this state, Harper rubbed her arms to ease the goose bumps. His manner was just too unsettling. Finally, she couldn't keep quiet any longer and asked, "Matthew, what's the matter? Please just tell me. Your stare makes me scared."

He was waiting for Harper to ask exactly that. "His Majesty taunted me by saying that I was impotent," Matthew blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Harper exclaimed helplessly after she spat out the tea in shock. She choked upon hearing that, and then she s

won the bet this time.

"Your Highness, Lady Harper is here," the maid reported.

"Let her in," Katrina said as she rubbed her hair. Her voice had an unaccustomed gentleness at that moment.

"Good day, Your Highness," Harper said after she stepped inside the room.

"Harper, I'm so happy to see you here. Please have a seat. The tea will be ready in a moment," Katrina responded at once. She didn't embarrass Harper this time, or to be more specific, she couldn't afford to embarrass her. The Chu Clan had lost many members. Howard was not Charles' natural son. What was worse, he had brought disaster to the Chu Clan. Now, in Katrina's eyes, they could rely only on Harper. Besides, she had heard that the emperor intended to banish Charles. If he was really dismissed as the prime minister, she would be in a desperate situation as well.

"I heard that you wanted to see me. What is it?" Harper asked curtly. She didn't want to play charades with Katrina. Sometimes it was better to go straight to the point.
