Chapter 812 Back To The Imperial Capital (Part Two)



Chapter 812 Back To The Imperial Capital (Part Two)

Zack immediately sensed that something wasn't right from Matthew's words. In his eyes, Carlson had always been a trouble maker. When he was still in the imperial capital, he was like a little tyrant. If it was true that he had thoroughly developed his temperament in the army, what kind of a monster did he turn into?

Zack looked at Harper, as if wanting her to confirm it. Harper curled her lips and smiled. In fact, Carlson's temperament was more aggressive than when he was in the imperial capital. But she didn't think that it was a big deal since it was the soldiers in the south domain whom he was going to bother now. Besides, if Carlson was still in the imperial capital, she would not be the one being tortured by that young man, so she didn't care about it.

Zack rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It seems like Prince Allen and Princess Casey will find it very hard to sleep well again."

"How is Gigi? I've been away for a long time. I wonder if she still recognizes me," Harper said, changing the topic.

"Several days ago, I went to see the little girl. She could walk now and the first word she was able to speak was 'sister'. Prince Allen was very upset when he heard that. He's the one who takes care of her every day. Yet, he didn't expect that the girl would learn to say 'sister' first," Zack said while imitating how heart-broken Allen was, which amused Harper a lot.

"I bet Allen must hate me very much!"

"Of course not. In his heart, he knew without a doubt that if it weren't for you, Gigi wouldn't have survived." Zack's voice was very soft which seemed like it was gentle enough to touch the softest part of anyone's heart. When they arrived at the Champion Restaurant, they pushed open the door of the private room. Immediately, they saw that a man was already sitting at their designated table. He was even holding his chopsticks while reaching out for a dish.

"Your Majesty!" the three greeted.

Lucas just waved his hand at their greetings while he quickly put down the chopsticks. He then wiped his mouth, as if he didn't want to be found eating in secret. He then said, "I heard that Uncle and Aunt are coming back today, and Zack arranged a dinner to welcome you. I think it's a good idea to join you, so here I am. Come on now! Sit down and let's have dinner! I'm starving to death."

Matthew gave Lucas a stern look which Lucas pretended he didn't notice. Instead, he kept telling himself that nothing happened and there was nothing to worry about even if there was. Like his uncle, Lucas could sometimes be unfeeling when he wanted to. Furthermore, Lucas even told himself that Matthew was not to be feared since he didn't eat anything before they arrived. Even if Matthew were to discover the truth, he could simply deny it.

"Your Majesty, aren't you busy dealing with matters in the palace? Why do you still have time to go out and have dinner with us?" As soon as Matthew sat down, he started to question Lucas. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The expression on Lucas' face instantly changed at Matthew's inquiring. He replied, "Uncle, you can't imagine how deep I have to bury myself in those affairs while in the palace every single day. But since you and Aunt have returned from the south domain, I should come and welcome you back, no matter how busy I am. It's very kind of you to go there and finish the task this time. Thank you very much, Uncle and Aunt. Let me propose a toast and express my gratitude."

Zack had to admit that Lucas was quite bold without a bit of shame in his body. Even though he was the emperor now, his skin was no less thin. Perhaps, he had acted too much of a playboy in the past and couldn't correct his behavior in such a short time. That was why he hadn't changed a bit even though he had been impeached because of this matter many times. Until now, he still couldn't change it.

"You should get married and give this kingdom an empress. I think," Matthew slowly uttered while he put some of the dishes into Harper's bowl.

"Uncle, a few days ago, an official asked me to give you more beautiful women for the sake of having more heirs, but I didn't agree. I even scolded him for suggesting things like that." Lucas immediately showed his loyalty before Matthew could say anything further. He then thought, 'Uncle, I have stopped people from arranging women for you and helped you deal with this trouble. It's wrong of you to force me into doing the same thing.'

Upon hearing this, Matthew froze. His hand with his chopsticks hang midair. He then picked up a piece of duck and placed it in Harper's bowl, "The duck of this restaurant tastes good. Try it."

Harper just watched the confrontation between the two with a warm smile. While Zack shook his head and thought, 'One of them is the emperor and the other is the most influential man in the kingdom, yet they're so childish as to fight at the table. To say the least, it's not decent considering their positions. But anyway, if they're happy doing it, it's actually a good thing.'

"By the way, Shawn submitted me a report and said he wanted to come back to the imperial capital. I thought he would come back here with you. Where is he?" Lucas suddenly asked while eating so casually.

"He's currently headed to the south region."

"What is he going to do in the south?" Lucas was very much confused. But then suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it possible that there's a woman in the south that he likes? Did he think it through and want to get married soon?"

Matthew just glanced at Lucas before he looked back at the dishes and said, "Wendy is in the south region right now. Speaking of which, that girl is very talented. I think she's one of the best choices to be

your empress."

Lucas blinked a few times before saying, "But she's been very sick for a long time. How can the empress of this country be someone with a severe illness? The officials won't agree."

"Shawn is on his way to the south region to pick up and escort her back to the imperial capital. Because Harp has found a method to possibly cure her. The Shen Clan had already agreed to try it out. If she is cured, she can serve as your empress without humiliating you since she's the daughter of a prestigious family." Matthew's voice was quite firm and steady.

"Haha..." Lucas just awkwardly laughed. He was already planning to send Matthew a dozen or more beautiful women to his mansion once those officials suggested once again to select more concubines for him!

While he was resentfully thinking about his plan, his eyes suddenly met Harper's which made him feel uncomfortable as if she had seen through him. He quickly turned around and tried to change the topic, "Uncle, Aunt, when are you going to have a baby?"

As soon as he asked, Harper clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room had changed. It became very tense and the expression on Matthew's face became more downcast.
