Chapter 811 Back To The Imperial Capital (Part One)


    In response to Jack''s apology, Harper snorted. Obviously, she didn''t buy his ims at all. Meanwhile,


    with a sad expression on his face, Jack turned around to look at Barry for help, but thetter pretended


    to not see it. Barry knew that first and foremost, it was not easy to change Harper''s mind. Second, he


    still needed Harper''s permission to marry her maid Nina so he couldn''t risk offending her just for Jack''s


    sake. He was well aware that Harper could just easily forbid their marriage so, between his fiancee and


    his brother, he decisively chose to abandon thetter.


    Upon realizing Barry''s response, Jack dejectedly curled his lips and looked at Fred instead. But he was


    just greeted with a smile full of gloat. With that, he suddenly thought of one thing. He immediately


    decided that he should go to hell with his heartless brother by saying, "Your Highness, don''t forget that


    Fred offended you not long ago. He cursed you and imed that you''re a woman who always nags."


    As soon as his words came out, Fred''s eyes widened in an instant. The next moment, the atmosphere


    inside the carriage instantly changed. Squinting their eyes at the two men, Matthew and Harper yelled


    almost at the same time. "Both of you, get down from this carriage right now! Run to the imperial capital


    on foot!"


    "Yes, Your Highnesses!" Fred said gloomily and then red at Jack with eyes that looked like he was


    about to murder him. He then took out his sword and chased after him. He thought, ''This bastard dared


    to mention that matter at that very moment. If I don''t teach him a good lesson today, he''s going to think


    that no one will punish him for doing reckless and irresponsible things like this in the future!''


    Jack was so scared that he used his flying skills at the maximum to escape Fred''s wrath. He knew that


    this was a big deal. Fred would actually be the devil himself when he was mad. He also knew that


    Fred wouldn''t regard him as a human being out of anger even though they were as close as brothers.


    After a while, the envoy team finally reached the imperial capital. Harper felt that it was such a long


    time since she hadst been there. So when she saw Zack waiting at the gate of the city, she gently


    smiled, feeling that she was finally home.


    "Zack."


    "Wee back, Harper." Zack was as gentle as ever. Even his voice was soothing enough to make


    one feel like the gate was the door to their own mansion. It was the kind offort and warmth that no


    one else could give Harper.


    "I have prepared a lot of delicious food and wine at the Champion Restaurant in order to celebrate your


    return," Zack stated. He then looked at Matthew and asked, "May I have the honor of having a meal


    with Your Highness?"


    "Since you''ve already prepared everything, of course, I''lle," Matthew replied. Matthew knew that


    Zack had a special ce in Harper''s heart. He also knew that this man was different from everyone


    else. He could intimidate and bring every other man to their knees, but not this one. This man was


    extremely clever and cunning. Bing his enemy without careful consideration would bring


    unexpected tragedies to himself.


    "Caroline is about to give birth, right?" Harper asked with a smile. She thought that Caroline''s due date


    should be drawing near.


    "Yes, it shouldn''t be long now. She wanted toe today, but George didn''t allow her because he was


    worried that she would go intobor any minute. But when I left, she was quite sad about it," Zack


    exined, returning her smile in the process. He then added, "By the way, they wanted you to name


    their first baby."


    "To tell you the truth, I''m not good at that." Harper took the lead as they walked. Then, Matthew sped


    up and walked side by side with Zack.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Recently, I was made aware that there''s a person who''s extremely special to Harp. Very special, even


    more special than you," Matthew began in a low voice, low enough that only Zack could hear it. "Do


    you want to know who he is?" the prince asked in a thought-provoking way.


    "I don''t know and honestly, I don''t want to know as well," Zack firmly refused before Matthew could


    speak out the name. Since the person who Matthew brought up had a special ce in Harper''s world,


    it meant that Matthew was on his guard about him. Rather than having another enemy, having an ally


    was always a better option. Zack had an idea what Matthew was up to. If he wanted to start a rift


    between Zack and the other person and make Zack finish the other "rival" for him, then he could only


    dream on.


    What was more, since the man was very special to Harper, it meant that it was someone she cared


    about. Zack was not stupid enough to hurt the people who were important to her. If he did, he was only


    going to cause her pain as well. So it was no use for Matthew to y him off against the potential rival


    in love.


    "What a pity! I thought that if the two of you meet each other, you''d be good friends. After all, I


    think that you and he have simr personalities. I do believe that you two might get along. What a


    disappointment that you''re not interested in him at all. You shouldn''t turn your back on my good


    intentions," Matthew said in a regretful tone.


    Zack cast a nce at Matthew. Although Matthew tried to pretend, Zack clearly knew that he wouldn''t


    be so kind as to do that. He had always been trying to provoke dissident among people, especially


    those who had affection for Harper. Matthew had never been generous to anyone when Harper was


    concerned. It was good enough that he could tolerate Zack this far.


    "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. But unfortunately, I''m just not interested." Zack wasn''t


    going to take the bait. If there was really such a person, they would meet sooner orter. Zack thought


    that there wouldn''t be a need to deliberately make some efforts just to make friends. Moreover, if he did


    so in a very obvious manner, he might just put himself in a passive position and make things worse.


    Back then, it was because he had made his move in the open and then Matthew took the advantage. If


    he didn''t, it was hard to say who would be the one to marry Harper.


    Matthew smiled as if he didn''t care about it at all. He caught up with Harper, held her waist, and headed


    for the Champion Restaurant with her. Zack knew the prince was dering silently that he was


    Harper''s husband now. Untroubled, Zack followed them without undue haste, turning a blind eye to


    what Matthew just did.


    "I heard that Carlson has been dispatched to the Birch Pass. Did you see him when you came back


    from the pass? Prince Allen has been so agitated and worried since his son was transferred there,"


    Zack told Harper.


    "Yes, we saw him. In fact, he''s doing quite well," Harper replied. She was reminded of how Carlson


    initially wanted to vent his anger on them, but then she and Matthew yed a trick on him. Now, he


    must be in a really bad mood. If he came back next time, she knew they couldn''t fool him that easily


    again.


    "He must have changed a lot these days while being in the army, at least not as aggressive as before,"


    Zack remarked.


    Matthew chimed in, "Not necessarily. I think his true nature has beenpletely brought out after he


    received training in the army. He has be much bolder. He even dared to block our way and


    question us."
