Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Because of the things that Harper said, a glum expression descended on Lance's face. For the moment, he was in a dilemma.
He could not decide what to do. At the same time, Diana thought for a while before suddenly rising to her feet. Pointing at
Francis with her finger, she confessed, "It's him. He set a trap for Princess Harper. Actually, Prince Kile of the Wonder Kingdom
wasn't the target at all. It was anyone who would approach Princess Harper, because as long as someone stood in that position,
the mechanism would be triggered."
It was Francis' turn to have a cold expression in his eyes. He was extremely annoyed by the fact that Diana didn't hesitate to
betray him. But at that time, reality dawned on him. He no longer had any bargaining chip at all. In order to protect herself, Diana
ratted on him. He knew that if he sat still and did nothing, it would be like waiting for his death. There was no doubt that Matthew
and Harper would capture him on that same day.
In the blink of an eye, Francis decided what he should do. To everyone's surprise, he took big and heavy steps towards Harper.
Among all of the people present, Harper had the weakest martial arts skills. As long as he could take her as a hostage, Matthew
would not dare to act recklessly. And as long as Matthew remained passive, no one else would dare to do anything. They would
be considered as Matthew's enemy if they even took a small step.
Francis thought that his plan was perfect, but he had no idea that Harper had been hiding her true strength. For some time, she
had no idea about the strong power inside of her. But after she regained her memory and realized her true abilities, she didn't
want to reveal it to anyone who wasn't that close to her.
Upon seeing that Francis was dashing towards her, Harper could not help but quietly sneer at him in her heart. She thought that
Francis was so foolish to think that it would be easy to attack her. When she was about to counter-attack against Francis, Kile
suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Ouch! Which bastard pushed me?!" Kile exclaimed, pretending that he was pushed forward by someone to stop Francis, but
actually, he took the initiative to rush towards Francis. As a result, Francis was so enraged that he immediately slapped Kile.
Then, he opened up his hand in an attempt to grasp Harper's neck. "Watch out!" Kile shouted. In a sudden turn of events, Harper

took a step back and suddenly hit Francis with her palm. They drew back from each other as soon as the first round of
confrontation was finished. The astonishment in Francis' eyes was beyond any word because he just
realized that Harper had completely regained her martial arts skills. He then thought to himself, 'How could it be possible? If she
has truly recovered her martial arts skills, at that time, how could she have... Was she testing me back then?' Francis felt chills
down his spine at this thought. He could have given up his life for Harper, but apparently, she was only testing him. Instantly, he
made up his mind to drag her down with him. "If I should die, I'm going to make you my company on the way to hell!" Once
again, Francis attacked Harper, this time, in a much more destructive way. It was as if he didn't have any regard for his life
anymore. To say the least, it stunned everyone present. Finally, Matthew thought that it was time to help his wife. However, when
he was about to run towards them, the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom showed up out of nowhere and ran to help her. As a
result, she blocked his way.
"Get out of my way!" Boiling with rage, Matthew didn't hesitate to strike the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom for being on his
way. It seemed like the Holy Maiden didn't expect that Matthew would attack her, so she wasn't able to react for a few moments.
It made Matthew's strike look more severe than it really was.
"Your Grace!" Because of what Matthew did, the situation immediately turned more chaotic. The people of the South Kingdom
could no longer sit still and merely watch from their seats. They all stood up to stop Matthew. In their eyes, Matthew striking the
Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom was an unforgivable crime.
Somehow, the chaos indirectly helped Francis. While everyone was distracted, he launched a fatal attack on Harper with all of
his strength. Although Harper had regained her memory and all of her martial arts skills, the truth of the matter was that she
couldn't defeat Francis by herself. At best, their fight could only end in a draw. However, it was obvious that Francis wanted to kill

her regardless of his own life. So it would be hard for her to hold on for an extended amount of time. "I hate you! How could you
treat me like this? I treated you with utmost sincerity with all of my heart, but you fooled me over and over again. Harper, I hate
you! I hate you with every fiber of my being!" Francis exclaimed, gritting his teeth with too much hatred. With a frown, Harper.

ignored his remarks and concentrated on the fight. She knew that she couldn't lose focus for even a second. On the other hand,
Becky had been hiding in the sidelines. Her eyes were filled with resentment for she didn't expect
that Harper would have treated Francis this way. She was determined to make Harper pay for what she had done.
"Go to hell!" Becky exclaimed, summoning all of her strength while she dashed towards Harper. Because of her sudden attack, it
was too late for Harper to withdraw her hands and deal with Becky. So she didn't have any choice but to use her spiritual power
to protect the center of her back.
When Becky's palm finally made contact with Harper's back, Harper felt her blood surging. Despite being protected by her
spiritual energy, she was extremely hurt. That was the final straw. Harper ceased in hiding her real strength. Instead, she burst
out all of her spiritual power without delay, throwing Becky away from her. At the same time, everyone felt that the earth began to
tremble and the Holy Mountain began to sway. They were all swept away by a strange force that they didn't understand.
The sudden change in the situation made everyone confused. The feeling of vibration under their feet was so surreal. It didn't
feel natural or even possible.
"Is this an earthquake?" Miguel asked in surprise. They were on a mountain, so it would be hard for them to escape if an
earthquake was really happening.
Naturally, the Holy Maiden was different from everyone. Her face instantly turned pale. She then turned to Harper in disbelief and
asked, "Why did you..."
However, Harper couldn't feel anything. She couldn't even move any of her muscles. A strong force had grabbed her in a rush.
She had used up all her spiritual power in order to resist the miracle force that she was too weak to resist.
"Harp," Matthew called her. He rushed towards her as soon as he could stand steadily. However, before he could reach her, a
powerful force threw him away. Harper was also tossed away by a gust of force.
"Harp!"
"Your Highness." Everyone watched as Harper rose from the ground. For a few seconds, she was in mid-air like a leaf being
blown by the wind. Suddenly, it was like a force was dragging her.
