Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Cynthia Xiao couldn't help but frown upon hearing his words. First of all, it was kind of weird for Francis to find out about the situation in Matthew's mansion so soon. Was he actually having his men spy on Matthew's mansion? Besides, if it were true that he was worried that no one would entertain her in Matthew's mansion, he should have just let Harper leave the Imperial Palace and come back. But now, this man was inviting her into the Imperial Palace instead. Was this an order from Harper or from Francis?

"Who is the one inviting into the Imperial Palace? Lady Harper or Prince Francis?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter anyway," Ken flatly replied, his voice calm and sensible. "Lady Cynthia, this way please."

"Lady Cynthia..." Amy was about to rejected Ken.

"Amy, don't be rude," Cynthia Xiao stopped Amy from saying anything else. Then, she turned to Ken and said, "Very well. Please lead the way."

"Yes. Forgive me, Lady Cynthia. I'm only following orders," Ken apologized. With that, he asked the guards to surround the carriage from the front to the back. It might appear that he was protecting the carriage, but he was actually just escorting them into the Imperial Palace.

Standing by the window and looking at the person being taken away, Rufus

e her after you go there tonight?"

Rufus had a second thought and didn't say anything for a while. If Francis had taken precautions against Matthew and his men, the Sleek Palace where Harper was now staying in would probably be heavily guarded. If that was really the case, he was worried that he might get caught as soon as he appeared, and thus he wouldn't be able to see her in the end.

"How about this? We'll just go there together. You will attract the guards' attention and I will take that opportunity to come and meet her. If you have something to say or anything you want to deliver to her, I will help you out. So, are you sure you don't want me to go inside with you?" Howard said, not feeling worried whatsoever. Now, Lucas was killed and Francis had yet to take any action. It only went to show that he was afraid of something. Considering that, Francis wouldn't be able to make a move until his problem was solved.

"Why don't you attract the guards' attention instead?" Rufus asked. After thinking it through, he realized that if the guards were focused on Howard, he could sneak in to see Harper instead. Personally, he preferred this idea much more.

"Because I'm not Matthew's man," Howard helplessly replied, looking so shocked at Rufus' stupidity.
