Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

The Department of Punishment was a place for the extraction of secrets, and there were an endless variety of tortures employed for that end. Among all its unfortunate visitors in its history thus far, none of them had ever been able to resist those tortures and keep their secrets.

The assassin who was caught was, at last, no longer able to endure the harsh punishments that he went through. He confessed and delivered an unambiguous confession which made Matthew the most likely killer of the crown prince.

"It's really him!" the emperor shouted out in rage as he looked at the confession presented in front of him. But there was only one witness. Matthew's crime could not be confirmed with just one witness, and thus there could be no conviction. But the emperor would not let Matthew go that easily. He sat on the throne, his eyes closed as if he were thinking about something. After a long time, he finally opened his old eyes and called, "Someone."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell Hoffman to

arrest, but you're still in the mood to play Go. You face the serious accusation of murdering the crown prince! How can you two stay calm?"

"Honey, enjoy the grapes. They are from the southeast. They should taste rather sweet," Harper said as she placed the grapes in front of Matthew. There was a flattering smile on her face.

Looking at the grapes, and then at her smiling face, Matthew turned to her and asked, "Do you want to trick me while I am eating grapes?"

Harper blinked innocently. "Darling, am I that sort of woman?"

"No, I know you're not," Matthew replied. He then stretched out his hands to take some grapes. Right at that moment, Harper moved a stone on the board with nimble fingers. Seeing this, Rufus screamed out.

"Hey you... Ouch!" Rufus' scream became louder and louder. Harper held the flesh around his waist and gave him a hard twist. Then she stared at him menacingly, and said, "Rufus, we are having fun playing Go. Don't you think you should leave us alone?"
