When Harper and Matthew reached the entrance of the Birch Pass, they immediately saw a person who was leaning against the city gate and holding a long spear. The couple could feel his rage even from far away.

Harper lifted the curtain and said, "Carlson arrived so soon."

Looking at her, Matthew noticed that she looked guilty. With eyebrows raised, he said, "Why are you afraid of him? Be tough enough and ask him to go down on his knees and welcome his aunt."

Harper glared at Matthew. After all, she and Carlson were friends. It wouldn't be appropriate to treat a friend like that. Moreover, the man was Prince Allen's son. He came from a royal family so there was no need for him to kneel down just to greet them!

Meanwhile, Carlson briefly looked at the curtain of the carriage and snorted.

The guard also reported that they didn't dare to stop Prince Matthew's carriage. They just let it go and they might have been far away already.

Shawn rubbed his forehead with one hand and thought, 'This couple is so troublesome. How can they throw this awful mess to me right now without many any further arrangements?'

Then, it seemed like an idea suddenly came to Shawn. He quickly said, "Servants, pack up our things. I'll go back to the imperial capital as well. It's time for me to tell His Majesty what I've done. Prepare two of our fastest horses so we can catch up with Prince Matthew."
