Chapter 805 Poor Carlson (Part One)
When Harper and Matthew reached the entrance of the Birch Pass, they immediately saw a person
who was leaning against the city gate and holding a long spear. The couple could feel his rage even
from far away.
Harper lifted the curtain and said, "Carlson arrived so soon."
Looking at her, Matthew noticed that she looked guilty. With eyebrows raised, he said, "Why are you
afraid of him? Be tough enough and ask him to go down on his knees and wee his aunt."
Harper red at Matthew. After all, she and Carlson were friends. It wouldn''t be appropriate to treat a
friend like that. Moreover, the man was Prince Allen''s son. He came from a royal family so there was
no need for him to kneel down just to greet them!
Meanwhile, Carlson briefly looked at the curtain of the carriage and snorted.
Holding his spear horizontally, he stopped the envoy team, as if nobody would be able to resist him.
"You''ve gone too far. How could you y tricks on me?"
Harper lifted the curtain once again and said, "Carlson, long time no see. You''re breaking my heart by
doing this when we just meet after not seeing each other for so long."
Carlson was rendered speechless with that. The truth was he felt wronged by what they had done.
When he had juste all the way from the north domain to the Birch Pass in the south domain, he
heard that the couple went to the South Kingdom. Even though he was very tired, he promptly followed
them but before he could reach them, they had already gone back to the Birch Pass. What was more,
he also heard about the ident which happened to Harper. He was so concerned with her that he
went back to the Birch Pass in a hurry. So when he got the news that she left for the South Kingdom
again, he felt even more desperate to see them.
Wiping away the tears that didn''t actually exist in the corner of her eye, Harper said in a very sad tone,
"Well look at me! I''ve encountered some great troubles recently! I was sent to the South Kingdom and
was locked in the library there by force. Then the library even copsed, almost killing me. Well, that
was fine, just a narrow escape from death. But that''s not all! I was even made to enter the Labyrinth
Swamp against my will! Do you know what kind of ce that is? Anybody who had gone there never
came back!"
"Well, I just..." Carlson tried to exin but he was quickly interrupted.
"You don''t know how much I''ve gone through just so I can get out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive. Then, I
have to go back to the South Kingdom to deal with some matters. As my good friend, you don''t even
feel sad for me even when I''ve suffered so much. And here you are, embarrassing me at the city gate.
Are you still my friend?" Without waiting for a response, Harper dropped the curtain, leaving Carlson
nothing but a shadow of the curtain being blown by the wind. He was at a loss for what to do. But
before he could decide about anything, Barry drove the carriage forward. Carlson didn''t have a choice
but to silently make way for them.
When the envoy team entered the Birch Pass, Carlson hadn''t recovered from feeling guilty. Meanwhile,
Shawn had witnessed everything from the gate tower. He just shook his head and stated, "I told him
that he''s just going to suffer if he goes to them with that attitude. But he didn''t trust me. This couple
worked together and destroyed him."
The deputy general briefly looked at Shawn and silently thought to himself, ''It''s because you only
reminded him that Prince Matthew might give him a hard time. But you didn''t mention that Princess
Harper might do the same!''
Then, Carlson slowly followed the team into the city, still filled with guilt. For the past months, Harper
had suffered a lot of hardships. She almost lost her life several times. It was great relief to see her
being alive, so how could he me her!
After returning to the city, Harper didn''t look like she felt grieved at the slightest. Instead, she was
gracefully drinking tea and ying Go with Matthew in the carriage.
"Later on, when he realizes what you''d done, he''ll definitely curse you for making him so sad," Matthew
said while pushing the desserts in front of Harper.
"Well, he won''t. If it was you who told him those things, he''d think you were bullying him. But it was me,
so he''d only feel guilty," Harper said whileughing.
"Harp, you''re quite naughty. But I like it very much," Matthew said with a smile.
Harper reached for a piece of cake and fed it to her husband. "When shall we go back to the imperial
capital?"
"Now." A hint of yfulness could be seen across Matthew''s eyes. It was obvious that he wanted to
completely y a trick on Carlson. Harper realized that and thought about it for a while.
"Then, if Carlson were to see me in the future, he wouldn''t just use a spear to block the way, but he''d
probably throw it to me straight on. I don''t think he''ll believe me anymore," Harper worriedly said.

"Don''t be afraid. He can''t do anything to us." Matthew then turned to Barry and decisively said, "Barry,
we don''t have to go to the general''s mansion. We''ll just leave the Birch Pass and return to the imperial
capital."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Shawn had expected that the couple would stay in the general''s mansion for one or two days after they
tricked Carlson so many times. So he went back to the general''s mansion as soon as possible to
receive them. He waited for a long time only to find out through a report from the guard at the city gate
that Prince Matthew''s carriage had already left the city!
"The envoy team has already left?" Shawn asked in surprise.
"Yes, after entering the Birch Pass, they changed their direction midway. They directly left the city and it
looks like they''re going back to the imperial capital." The guard also reported that they didn''t dare to
stop Prince Matthew''s carriage. They just let it go and they might have been far away already.
Shawn rubbed his forehead with one hand and thought, ''This couple is so troublesome. How can they
throw this awful mess to me right now without many any further arrangements?''
Then, it seemed like an idea suddenly came to Shawn. He quickly said, "Servants, pack up our things.
I''ll go back to the imperial capital as well. It''s time for me to tell His Majesty what I''ve done. Prepare two
of our fastest horses so we can catch up with Prince Matthew."
