Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 853

Since Harper feared that she would wake Lilian up if ever she slept beside her as she was someone who would always toss and turn in the sleep, Lilian ordered her servants to clean up the side room for her. That night, she slept incredibly well mainly due to the fact that she had been travelling so much and hadn't had proper rest along the way. She then awoke the following day because something seemed to be stuck to her face, making her feel itchy and uncomfortable.

"Stop it. Let me sleep a little longer!" she murmured when she realized that there was actually nothing on her face and that someone was just messing with her.

Rolando laughed. "Harper, it's late. Get up and have breakfast."

Harper opened her eyes lazily and saw Rolando sitting next to her bed with a white feather in his hand. He looked at her tenderly, like a guardian angel would do to the person he was watching over. "I have already come back from the imperial court session. Get up, Lilian is waiting for you to have breakfast."

Indeed, it was late. When she finally realized this, she patted her forehead. "I've slept so well that I totally forgot that I am not in my mansion! Rola—oh, I'm sorry, I can't call you that now."

Harper then lay on her side and rested her chin on her hand. With a beautiful smile on her lips, she said, "Your Majesty, what time is it now?"

Rolando's face became grim. "It's 8:30 am," he replied as he fiddled with the feather he used to wake Harper up.

"That's so late! I really have to get up now!" Just as she was about to get up, Rolando suddenly launched tickle attack against her. "You! I don't want to hear you call me 'Your Majesty' anymore!"

"Okay, okay, I got it!" The last thing Harper wanted was to be tickled. "Don't take it too seriously! It's just a form of address. Also, I've heard from Lilian that you don't like it when people call you by our name, so I wondered it would only be appropriate if I call you 'Your Majesty.'

"Who dares to call my name directly in the Great Jade Kingdom?" Rolando asked as he looked at Harper helplessly. "And besides, you are not just someone else. As you said, we are friends!"

"Yes, we are friends," Harper confirmed, nodding repeatedly.

Rolando could only roll his eyes. "Then hurry up and have breakfast. I don't know why Matthew is so indulgent with you. It's so late, but you still haven't gotten up. Eating on time is good for your health!"

Harper then immediately got up and put on her clothes behind the screen. The clothes worn by the people of the Great Jade Kingdom were both beautiful and complicated, so after a long time struggling, she admitted defeated. She stretched her neck out past the height of the screen and saw that Rolando was still sitting outside. "Rolando, the clothes of your kingdom are too complicated. I don't know how to wear them. Would you be able to ask some maids to come help me put on these garments?"
