Harper was planning to apply conservative treatment to Francis after diagnosing him one more time. After all, his condition had already stabilized, so all he had to do now was take the medicine as she prescribed.

However, all her plans had been ruined by the news that came from the south.

The secret guards informed Matthew that Alexander had gotten into a fight with someone in the school and ended up killing him by accident. Right now, he was being held in prison. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if the person he killed was a random nobody. Sad to say, the person who died was the only son of Pearce Zhao, a marquis.

As soon as Matthew got word of it, he immediately ordered his men to hide it from Harper. However, he had completely forgotten about the fact that Robert had also sent some people to look after Alexander in the south. For that reason, she also found out about what had happened not long after he got the news.

After this came to her knowledge, Harper kept herself holed up in the room of herbs and never stepped outside. Although he was seriously worried, Matthew didn't dare to open the door by forc

person?"

Barry didn't argue with Matthew despite the truth that he himself had been able to kill people even when he was nine years old. However, the two of them were much too different. Unlike Alexander, Barry had been raised as an assassin ever since he was a child. Alexander had always been picked on in the Chu Clan since childhood. It wasn't until later on that he had gone away to study with Harper's help. But despite those difficulties, he would never dare to kill people. There must be some cheap tricks that had been pulled on him.

"I have no idea whether it's you or Her Highness they are targeting this time."

"At this point, is there even any difference?" Matthew asked in a rather apathetic tone. No matter who they were targeting, it wouldn't change the fact that his faction was also the target, so he and Harper shared the same enemy. At this point, he didn't think that the emperor would begin to take action again given the fact that a camp of the emperor's secret guards had just been annihilated. With that in mind, Matthew couldn't help wondering who their enemy was this time. Was it the empress? Or Felix?
