"My master's last name is Chu." Robert answered as he turned the carriage around and drove away.

The assistant pondered Robert's words carefully. Was the man in the carriage actually Princess Harper?

He had heard a lot about Matthew and knew that the prince spoiled his wife so much that he would give her whatever she asked, no matter what it was. If anyone offended her, he would torture those who infuriated her. Since Pearce had barged into the government office today, could it be possible that he had also been intimidated by Matthew?

Thinking of that, the assistant ran to the office at once. He must remind the mayor that compared with Pearce, Matthew was the one to whom he must pay greater honor and respect. If they offended Pearce, they would be kicked into the mud. Yet if they offended Matthew, they could only guess how much tim

the point." Matthew's voice was as cold as ice.

Hollis swallowed and said, "Your Highness, I heard that you are staying at the official inn of our River City. As the mayor of our city, it's my duty to visit you. In addition, Mister Alexander was terribly wronged. I'm here to apologize."

Matthew glanced at Hollis and said, "I heard that you are one of the former Prime Minister Charles' students."

Hollis trembled slightly. Charles, the former prime minister, was Harper and Alexander's father. He felt uneasy to hear Matthew suddenly bring up such an old fact.

"Yes, Your Highness." Hollis didn't dare to deny it. The emperor had forced Charles to be a monk, and there was no longer a powerful and influential male official in the Chu Clan. Hollis couldn't afford to offend the powerful Pearce for an insignificant boy like Alexander.
