As determined by the imperial edict, Charles was ordered to become a monk in the Holy Chant Temple. Many officials in the court were astonished by this. There used to be many guests visiting the Chu Clan mansion, but now nobody dared to go there anymore. Even some noble officials who had been good friends with Charles were now trying their best to stay away from him.

At that time, Harper returned to the Chu Clan mansion. Almost all the servants had been dismissed, and only a few servants were left to take care of Nicole.

"Here you are." In just one night, Charles seemed to have gained ten years. His hair was gray and his eyes had become dull, as if he had lost all hope.

"I'm here to see you off," said Harper blandly.

"I'm glad that you are still willing to see me off now." "Now you're the only child of the Chu Clan in the i

n?"

"Isn't he worth it?"

"No, he's not worthy of you! He is not worthy of your love and company. He is a man who tried to murder his wife and kill his own daughter. Such a man doesn't deserve you!" Harper said in a higher pitch.

"Your Highness, no matter how many mistakes he has made, he is still your father!"

"All I know is that he is the murderer of my mother!" Harper closed her eyes and calmed herself down. "Go back to Prince Allen's mansion. It's not too late. He won't turn you away."

"Harper, I don't know what you have experienced in the Chu Clan, but your father is not as bad as you say. He just wants to achieve more glory for your clan. It's common for a man to use dirty means for the sake of his clan. You should forgive him," Nicole sighed. "I thought you wouldn't hate him anymore. It turned out I was wrong."
