Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"Not us, only him," Matthew responded while he tried to enjoy his meal. Despite the nature of their conversation, his tone was still calm and collected.

"What? Do you mean they wanted to kill Lucas? But why? Lucas has been enjoying life all this time. He kept to himself and rarely offended anyone over the years. Why would anyone want to kill him?" Lilian asked. She could not be more curious upon hearing Matthew's reply. She could come up with tons of reasons for those assassins to target her. But Lucas? That was totally way beyond her imagination. She could not think of any reason or anyone who would eagerly want to kill Lucas.

"Who do you think is threatened while Lucas is still alive?" Matthew asked after a sigh instead of answering her question. There was no brotherhood in the royal family, but only enemies. When someone threatened another one's position, he would immediately be considered as a target.

His reply intrigued Lilian right away. Her face turned pale in an instant. She was not a fool. The only person that could be threatened while Lucas is still alive was none other than Francis. After all, he was the one located in the imperial capital right now who might inherit the throne. But as far as she knew, Lucas did not have interests in politics. He was only concerned about his appear

ve up now?"

"Then, what about Prince Lucas' body?" the captain asked carefully. After all, that was the body of a prince. They couldn't just leave his body here. Moreover, if Francis blamed them for what happened, they would be severely punished.

Matthew responded nonchalantly, "Choose fifty guards to escort Lucas' body back to the imperial capital and hand it to Francis. He's the one who's supposed to deal with this matter. The weather is hot these days so it won't be good to keep the corpse here. It will take about five or six days from here to the imperial capital. And the guards will carry a coffin, so it's going to take longer than when we came here. You will have to find a way to slow down the speed of the body's decay. You must make sure to hand over Lucas' body to Francis in good condition."

"What?" the captain murmured in hesitation. In his opinion, Matthew's request was a bit unreasonable. A human's dead body would reek in two or three days, let alone five or six days. Even if the corpse would be treated with special methods, they wouldn't be able to hand an intact body to Francis. But before the captain could say anything to protest, Matthew had already turned around and walked out. He ordered the others to prepare for the continuation of their journey to the Great Jade Kingdom.
