Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Noticing that Francis was observing him, Zack immediately slowed down his pace. He stopped tapping on the table and pulled his hand back into his sleeve. Now that Francis had the testamentary edict of the late emperor and was named as his legal successor, he would officially become the new emperor after the official ceremony.

"Your Highness, the preparation for your enthronement is almost complete, and the remains of Prince Lucas have been buried according to the rituals. But the investiture of the empress…" The minister of the Ministry of Rites was in a dilemma. Although Harper and Matthew were divorced, it was impossible to change the fact that she was married. A married woman was not qualified to be the empress as she couldn't be a motherly model of the empire.

our consent for it. If any of you disagree, I'll look for the right candidates to take your positions."

"Your Highness, we dare not." The officials were terrified. Francis had always been gentle. They thought they could change his mind. But they forgot the fact that no matter how gentle he was, he had the majesty of the royal family that couldn't be challenged.

"Anyone who disagrees with Harper's empress title may step forward now," Francis ordered sternly. Then he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The officials had no other choice but to surrender to his will and give up their insistence.

"Your Highness, we have no more objections."
