Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Someone had already told Felix what had happened between Harper and Hoffman at the gate of the Eastern Palace.

Felix wasn't worried that Hoffman would make things difficult for Harper. She was no pushover. If Hoffman thought it was easy to find fault with her, then he would quickly learn how wrong he was, and would probably just end up humiliated by her instead. She could do anything she liked in the Imperial Palace now, because Matthew would defend her when she made trouble. But even so, she was still a lady of strict etiquette and would always behave decently. No one would ever find an opportunity to accuse her of some mistake.

"Aunt Harper," Felix greeted her.

"Good day, Felix," Harper replied as she nodded. "Please stretch out you hand."

Felix then stretched out his hand so that Harper could check the status of his recovery by feeling his pulse. She felt the pulse quietly without uttering a single word during the process.

"I heard that Hoffman made things d

cause of the attempted assassination. Now His majesty feels guilty and sorry for your loss. However, he feels comforted that you lost so many men."

Felix's face revealed his discomfort when he heard Harper say those words so straightforwardly. But then, he remembered the cruel fact that there was no love in a royal family, so he just let his unhappiness go. "So, what I need to do now is just keep a low profile. Am I right?"

"Not only that. There is something more," Harper said as she gave Felix a hinting look. "You've already started to take action, haven't you?"

Hearing her words, Felix frowned. He then asked critically, "Is this what Uncle Matthew means?"

"He has said that it's better for you to avoid showing off. But that's not enough," Harper answered slowly. "What His Majesty is most worried about is that someone covets the throne he is sitting on. The more powerful he becomes, the better the situation is for you."

"Hoffman is not a fool," said Felix.
