Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

At that time, Zack visited Harper at Matthew's mansion. He wanted to apologize for failing to keep his promise of taking her back home the other day. At the same time, he wanted to gather some information from her.

"Harper, I'm really sorry for what happened the other day. I thought my duties would end early, so I was very confident that I could pick you up when I left the palace. Unexpectedly, Prince Jason stopped me and I was detained at the palace." Zack made a sincere apology, implying to Harper that Jason had a problem.

"You don't have to worry about it. Matthew came to pick me up a little later," Harper plainly said. She then pushed the washed cherries closer to him and added, "These cherries are fresh and they taste really sweet. I like them very much. Take one and try it."

While still looking at her, Zack picked up a cherry and put it into his mouth. "Indeed, it is very sweet."

"I heard that the officials had a big argument in the session hall today. Was it troublesome for you since you're the future grand secretary of the

day of February, the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet, Lucas warned me to be careful of the empress. Everyone says that Lucas is so troublesome and carefree that he is only interested in eating and playing. If this was true, then he wouldn't be alive right now. Moreover, although he doesn't take part in state affairs, no one has ever dared to touch him no matter which clan or individuals are in conflict."

"You're right. It's impossible for Prince Lucas to simply be the irresponsible man that everyone has painted him out to be." Zack nodded in agreement. He wanted to say something more but he quickly stopped himself. It seemed like he was second-guessing himself. He didn't know if he should continue speaking.

Harper noticed this, so she asked, "What's the matter? Why are you hesitating?"

"Have you heard that Master Chodak went to heaven?" Although it was a question, Zack's tone was full of doubt. Honestly, he didn't believe it. It was impossible for the master to have died. Zack would rather believe that Chodak was in hiding.
