Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

As soon as the emperor left, Katrina shed her fragile image and resumed her usual graceful manner.

"Harper, you must help me," Katrina then said, eyes glinting with determination and focus. "I must be restored to health as soon as possible. I must have a baby." In her eyes, the less the empress wanted her to have a baby, the more determined she was to somehow achieve it, if only out of spite.

"Alright, Your Highness." Harper nodded, ready to help her.

"You've already sent a message to my father about this, perhaps?"

"I've sent word ahead, and I'm certain that I'll have his support. Don't worry. Now I know how heartless the empress and the crown prince are, don't blame us for delivering some retaliation."

Charles had been confined indoors for about a month now, under the pretense of being ill. Katrina's message reached the Chu Clan mansion, and upon reading it, he became very uneasy. This was a decision he couldn't make lightly, and he needed to seek the advice of someone else. Yet there was no one in the mansion who could possibly provide tha

Carefully arraying himself in a disguise, Charles went straight to Felix's mansion. The steward, seeing him arriving in such a state and at such an hour, was shocked for a moment. Felix was currently under suspicion of having aided Howard to escape, and though the emperor had done what he could to suppress that rumor, Felix wasn't yet cleared of the accusations. And now, to have Charles here to visit at such a sensitive time, it was highly risky and suspicious.

"Prime Minister Charles, please," the steward pleaded as politely as he could. "You had better go back. I'm sorry but this is simply not the right time for you to be here!" The Chu Clan had been going downhill, declining further by the day. Howard was a traitor, Hailey was likely dead, and the only two members of the clan that had as of yet escaped the tarnish was Harper, and Alexander who was still underage. And neither of those two had ever gotten along well with Charles. Felix had already been making plans to find another clan to support and distance himself from the Chu Clan.
