Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"That's it. I can't go back to the imperial capital with you for the time being. Wendy is recuperating in the south region right now. I'm going there to pick her up and take her back to the imperial capital. Please go ahead and proceed to the capital without me so you can have time to prepare. As soon as we arrive in the imperial capital, we'll come to you for the treatment," Shawn said while he stood up, preparing right then to go out.

Everyone in Matthew's mansion knew that they would rather offend Matthew than Harper. If they offended Matthew, they would be tortured to half death at the worst, but if they offended Harper, they would wish that they were dead instead.

"Your Highness, it was all my fault. Please forgive me. I won't do it again," Jack apologized with so much conviction. He knew it was useless to reason with Harper, because she had never been reasonable once she set her mind on something.
