The news of Harper's divorce agreement had spread like wildfire all over the country. The news reached Matthew, along with the bracelets he gave to Harper before their wedding.

Barry felt the cold aura around Matthew, so he took a few steps back. He knew the consequences of Matthew exploding with anger. Last time Matthew got this angry, he destroyed a yard in the north domain!

However, contrary to Barry's expectation, Matthew suddenly restrained himself. He tore the divorce agreement into pieces and carefully put the bracelet away. "I have to go now."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Even though Barry knew that the situation would be difficult for them if Matthew had left them at that moment, he dared not to stop him. Rolando feared Matthew and considered him as a great threat. If it was possible, he would do whatever it took to make Matthew stay in the Great Jade Kingdom. For the time being, Rolando was bound by the treaty, and he couldn't make a move against Matthew. But it couldn't prevent him from making trouble for Matthew and his country.

After Matthew left, a man who looked like the spitting image of Matthew came out and took his place in the team. The man asked, "Do you think he believes it?"

"If he believed it, he would be extremely furious. But he seemed to have his anger under control, which means otherwise. One way or another, he will try to verify it himself." Barry sighed helplessly, "Prince Francis has made a colossal mistake. Master was very irritated this time."

"I am not sure if we can get back to the imperial capital before the day of Prince Francis' ascension to the throne. I can't wait to see that big spectacle.

Palace, and anyone here may take your life."

Before the secret guards could convey the incidents in the Sleek Palace to Francis, Harper had already reached the Tranquil Hall. Since Francis was in a discussion about the state affairs with the officials, none of the secret guards dared to disturb him. They waited patiently to convey the incidents in the Sleek Palace.

When they saw Harper approaching at the door of the Tranquil Hall, the secret guards' hearts sank. Why did she come here?

Standing in the doorway of the side hall, Harper could hear the voice coming from inside clearly. "Your Highness, I've heard that Prince Matthew was killed on his way back. Is that true?" asked one of the officials.

Francis explained, "I don't know the specific situation. I've sent someone to look into it. Uncle Matthew is the hero of the Bright Dynasty. He is the leader of the Black Flag Army and directly commands three hundred thousand soldiers. If anything happened to him, there could be a terrible mutiny in the army. It would be extremely hard to deal with. So, who do you think can go to head up the army?"

The officials looked at one another and dared not to make a sound. They knew very well about the Black Flag Army. No one else could command it, except for Matthew. They could hardly get into the barracks of the army, not to mention head up it.

"Nobody wants to take on this task?" Francis asked in his ever-gentle voice. "If the news about Uncle Matthew's death spreads around the Black Flag Army, there is bound to be a mutiny. If they take up arms against us, could the imperial capital defend against three hundred thousand soldiers?"
