Chapter 703 Not Qualified To Be The Empress (Part One)
The entire pce fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to say anything.
The ck g Army was an elite force of the Bright Dynasty. Despite their potentbat power and
significant contribution to the national defense, thete emperor allotted no sry or food to them.
Matthew fully supported the whole army. Thus, it was regarded as his private army. If the news of
Matthew''s murder reached the army, the entire army would mutiny.
"Your Highness." When everyone was in dead silence, suddenly there was a voiceing from behind.
"Are you all right, Your Highness?"
The voice was from Forsythia, who was there along with Harper. With the help of Forsythia, Harper
steadied herself. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She turned back and slowly walked towards her
residence. "Let''s go."
"Yes, Your Highness." Forsythia held Harper''s arm and both of them walked back slowly. Along the
way, she was cold and distant, not as gentle and courteous as before. At that moment, she was like an
unsheathed sword, so sharp and blinding that would cut anyone who blocked her way.
After the two left, the officials in the pce just looked at each other inly. Everyone knew that Harper
now lived in the Sleek Pce. They also knew that she had already divorced Matthew and had no
rtionship with him anymore. Now, after hearing that Matthew was killed, why would she feel sad?
Francis didn''t chase Harper. He just sipped his tea and asked, "So, does anyone have any suitable
candidate in your mind?"
"I think Prince Jason will be an apt choice," Zack said loudly, standing up. "Prince Jason is a skilled
martial artist. Let him go to the ck g Army and try to convince them. Even if he turns
unsessful in controlling them, he will certainly escape unscathed.
Francis squinted as he listened to the wless Zack, who looked too calm. Everyone said that Zack
treated Harper differently and was willing to offer her help, no matter what happened. However, when
she was imprisoned in the pce, and the news that she got a divorce with Matthew spread all over,
Zack and his n didn''t make any response. Moreover, his position was more stable than ever. Francis
was now skeptical about what the Bu n was thinking.
"I''m afraid Jason isn''t an expert in military tactics. I don''t think he is the right choice." Francis rejected
the proposal. Then, he looked at Maxwell and asked, "General Maxwell, are you confident to take up
the job?"
Maxwell stood up and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you have been staying in the imperial capital for
a long time. I guess you haven''t forgotten what happened when I took orders from thete emperor to
take over the ck g Army. They threw me out before I could enter their gate. And Prince Matthew
was not in the imperial capital at that time."
"This time, the situation is different. Uncle Matthew was assassinated and he can''t control them
anymore."
"Your Highness, the rules of the ck g Army are strict. The person in charge of the army''s daily
affairs is one of Matthew''s loyal subordinates that he trusted very much. He neither participates in
politics nor obeys the royal family''s orders. If anything happens to Prince Matthew, the army only
listens to the orders of two people. One is Joshua, the general of the army, while the other is the
person who has the ck g Token. Even if something bad happens to Prince Matthew, the army will
not mutiny. Your Highness, you don''t have to worry about them."
A trace of light shed in Francis'' eyes. He too knew about Joshua. Many people ignored Joshua as he
seldom appeared in front of others. However, he followed Matthew all the way out in various deadly
battlefields, and only listened to Matthew''s orders.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"The ck g Token should have been in the hands of Uncle Matthew before. But now he was
murdered. What if the token fell into the hands of some evildoer? You already said that Joshua will not
listen to the order of the court. Then, there is a possibility that the evildoer holding the token may ask
the ck g Army to rebel. In that case, the imperial capital would be in danger." Francisid out his
concern cautiously.
"Your Highness, please be rest assured. It''s an unwritten rule of the ck g Army that they never
attack the emperor," Maxwell said slowly. "That''s precisely the reason that thete emperor had been
tolerating their existence."
Francis heaved a sigh of relief. Once he ascended the throne, he would be the emperor. If Matthew''s
intention was to deal with him by using the ck g Army, that wouldn''t be feasible.
"In that case, I think we need not worry about the ck g Army. We will discuss it after I ascend the
throne."
Maxwell returned to his seat and sipped his tea leisurely, but he was wondering, ''What does Lady
Harper intend to do? The Imperial Pce can''t trap her, but she stays here peacefully. Nothing goes
wrong with her and everything seems normal. It''s not like her at all. With her character, she will destroy
at least half of the entire n who dares to plot against her. It''s so unusual for her to remain so calm.
She must have aprehensive n.''
Maxwell''s eyes then wandered around Zack. ''This little fox is too calm, and more surprisingly, his whole
n is too calm. Harper and Bu n have a very close rtionship. They share the honor and
hardship. The Bu n is equal to her own family. Therefore, the Bu n supports Harper in almost
every aspect. Except that they don''t publicly support Matthew, they handle the rest of the things
whichever are rted to Harper very well. Something is wrong with the Bu n''s calmness, '' he
thought.
Ignoring Maxwell''s nce, Zack tapped on the table with his finger as usual, looking like he was having
a good time. Francis'' eyes fell on Zack''s hand, as he knew that Harper also had the habit of tapping on
the table subconsciously.
