Chapter 577 A Reminder From Lucas (Part One)


    "Yes, Your Highness," Fred responded in his deep and intimidating voice. For a man like him, it was a


    typical voice quality. However, Harper thought that this kind of voice wouldn''t work for her n, so she


    frowned a little, then took out a pill and handed it to him.


    "Take it."


    Fred took the pill from Harper''s hand and immediately swallowed it without a bit of hesitation. However,


    what made him uneasy was when he noticed that Harper had her eyes fixated on his every move. He


    had never imagined that he would one day be forced to wear women''s clothes. It made him feel so


    ufortable as if he was stripped naked and made to walk towards the public.


    "Your Highness, if we don''t leave right now, we''re going to bete for sure," Fred reminded her. His


    voice was no longer gruff and deep but rather soft and sweet, which was very close to a woman''s


    voice. Although he didn''t consciously do anything to change his voice, it sounded romantic with a hint


    of being coquettish. Any man who would listen to that voice would certainly melt in an instant.


    "It works well," Harper observed. When she noticed that Fred''s face had turned pale, she stopped


    teasing him. She was on her way out with Forsythia and Fred behind her when it so happened that


    Jack ran towards them in a hurry.


    "Your Highness, the carriage is ready," Jack reported, grinning from ear to ear with all of his white teeth


    in full disy. But when Jack caught a glimpse of Fred, who was wearing a maid''s uniform, he was only


    confused and wondered why there was a maid who was unfamiliar to him.


    "What are you looking at? I''ll dig your eyes out if you don''t look away!" Those words, which were clearly


    a threat, came out of Fred''s mouth in a soft and sweet voice, like a means of seduction.


    Jack''s eyes lit up upon hearing that. He moved closer to Harper and asked, "Your Highness, when did


    you get such a beautiful maid?"


    Harper turned to him and said, "Zack sent her here. She knows some martial arts skills and has a bad


    temper, so don''t provoke her."


    "Yes, Your Highness. Since you havemanded it, I wouldn''t even dare to annoy her," Jack


    obediently said, but he looked at Fred from head to toe. Inside Jack''s eyes were deep suspicion, as if


    he was inspecting Fred.


    Fred squinted slightly but didn''t say anything. He simply followed Harper as they made their way out of


    the mansion and into the carriage. They were finally headed to the Imperial Pce.


    While in the carriage, Fred frowned deeply at the thought of Jack''s suspecting eyes on him. The more


    he thought about it, the more the frown on his face deepened. He couldn''t help but overthink every


    single thing.


    "Unhappy," Harper said. Rather than a question, it was a statement. There was not a bit of doubt in her


    voice.


    Fred looked at Harper with a confused expression on his face. He couldn''t understand what she meant.

    "You are not happy," Harper reiterated.


    "Your Highness, I''m not unhappy. I''m just a little ufortable," Fred responded. He was telling the


    truth, but he didn''t say that it was all because of Jack. Fred chose to keep silent instead of talking about


    why he was frowning.


    For the longest time, Forsythia had kept her eyes on Fred. Then, for a brief second, she looked at


    herself and then back at Fred again. She turned to Harper with sadness in her eyes. She then sighed


    before saying, "Your Highness,pared to him, I look more of a man."


    When Harper heard her concern, she burst into hystericalughter. While Fred was disguised as a


    female, he actually looked gentle and charming. In particr, with his expressive eyes and slightly


    furrowed eyebrows, he looked like a gentle girl who was very sensitive and cared about a lot of things.


    Inparison, Forsythia looked casual and carefree. Perhaps it was because she had been studying


    martial arts since she was a child and be a woman with a wild and daunting disposition.


    Compared with the demure female Fred, Forsythia looked more of a man indeed.


    "Miss Forsythia, don''t make meugh," Fred said.


    "No, I''m not trying to make youugh. I''m serious. By the way, you have to call me ''Sister Forsythia''


    when we''re outside. Do you understand, Sister Freda?" Forsythia told her carefully while she raised her


    eyebrows. On the other hand, Fred frowned again, as if he was trying his best to restrain his emotions.


    It was not until quite a whileter when he hesitantly said in a soft voice, "Yes, Sister Forsythia."


    His voice sounded so melodious that Harper had goose bumps all over her body. Covering her face


    with both hands, Harper said, "Fortunately, you''re a man. Otherwise, I believe a lot of men would fall for


    you."


    The expression on Fred''s face became gloomy. He was a man, a real man. If it weren''t for the sake of


    Harper''s safety, he would not have disguised himself in such an awful way. But his sacrifice was only


    paid back with Harper''s chuckle while she looked at him. How could sheugh at him? Fred thought


    that there was no doubt that he was a man, but if he were to be a woman, he would certainly marry a


    man like his master Matthew. When Fred got a hold of himself and caught his own self, the expression


    on his face became duller. He turned his head away from Harper and Forsythia, the evil mastermind


    and her aplice. He was only doing what he thought was right but these two were taking advantage


    of him.


    When they were still considerably far from the pce gate, the carriage came to a stop. Because of the


    emperor''s birthday banquet, the security check at the pce gate was very strict that day. The


    remaining path to the Imperial Pce had beenpletely blocked by carriages that were parked on


    the road. A lot of people got off the carriages and walked to the pce gate on foot.


    "Your Highness, the road ahead has been blocked but fortunately, we''re not that far from the pce


    gate," Forsythia said after lifting up the curtain of the carriage and taking a look ahead. In front of them


    were carriage after carriage which were struck as well.


    "Let''s get off the carriage and walk from here," Harper announced. Unwilling to wait in the carriage, she


    chose to get moving right then and there. Just after taking a few steps, she heard someone calling her


    name. She looked around and found out that it was Lucas.


    "Lucas," Harper greeted him.


    When he was close enough, Lucas greeted her with a smile. "What a coincidence to meet you here,


    Aunt Harper! Are you by yourself?"


    "Matthew has to be in charge of the Imperial Pce''s security today, so he came here early in the


    morning. By the way, you haven''te to our mansion in a long time," Harper stated calmly.


    "I actually miss your hot pot very much, Aunt Harper. When you cook it in the days toe, don''t forget


    to call me and I''ll be at your mansion in a second."


    "I certainly will. That''s a promise, okay?"


    "Okay! I''ll get going now." Lucas bid his goodbye and then stepped forward. The moment he passed by


    Harper, he said something in a very low voice. It was barely audible for everyone to hear but loud


    enough for her.
