Chapter 2202: Chapter 2221: Francis Harmon’s Cunning and Versatility
Royal Palace, Study Room.
Francis Harmon knelt in the study room, crying about the inhuman experiences he had encountered in recent days.
“They flayed alive, six tis, and made into a human skin wax figure, Your Majesty, she’s too ruthless.” Francis Harmon shivered all over: “I don’t want to go back ho anymore, really don’t want to, although she doesn’t torture anymore, just seeing her chills to the bone.”
“Who can you bla for that? Can’t manage your own affairs, letting just anyone co in, and now you hit a wall?” Yusuf Zuck got irritated, Francis Harmon had been loyal to him, pledging allegiance proactively during the initial uprising, although he had so minor flaws, he was a decent person and knew how to conduct himself.
“It wasn’t just hitting a wall, it was like kicking a nail, Your Majesty, please help your old minister.” Francis Harmon wasn’t fat anymore; on the contrary, he looked quite handso, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
“There shouldn’t be any issues now. She won’t dare to ss with you anymore. When you get back, if she asks about , just tell her I possess the Golden Body, supposedly so reincarnation.”
“Uh…why say that?” Francis Harmon asked in confusion.
“Just say what you’re told, why so many questions? She should know to restrain herself now, and she’s pregnant, the child will be yours.”
“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty.”
“You can go back. Co to the court council tomorrow. That’s it for today,” Yusuf Zuck waved him away.
“Yes.” Francis Harmon bowed and exited.
At that mont, Yusuf Zuck gave Ayden Ac a look. After a mont of realization, Ayden Ac understood and flicked his fingers in a seal, instantly shooting it onto Francis Harmon’s clothing.
Ayden Ac’s seal art was mysterious and unpredictable, crafted with ease.
“Can you teach that skill?” Watching Francis Harmon walk out, Yusuf Zuck grinned at Ayden Ac and asked.
Ayden Ac didn’t respond to Yusuf Zuck’s question but instead pondered and said, “That woman must be Rose Campbell, right? She’s actually not dead? Interesting, interesting!”
“Haha, the reason I didn’t ntion her na was to see if you could guess. Seems like you really know everything.” A look of admiration flashed in Yusuf Zuck’s eyes, but also a hint of doubt and worry.
This Ayden Ac was terrifying; he knew everything!
Is it because he’s read so many books?
And if he knows everything, was eting intentional or accidental?
“Yeah, I know everything, but what’s more intriguing to is that there’s a treasure right under your nose, and you’re not tempted? That’s beyond my expectations!” Ayden Ac asked with a mischievous grin.
Yusuf Zuck gave Ayden Ac a peculiar look: “Would you believe if I told you that when the Creation’s Golden Volu was unearthed, I was there? Would you believe that I opened Golden Sovereign’s coffin?”
“Oh?” Ayden Ac raised his eyebrows, then suddenly nodded with a smile, “I believe.”
“Haha.” Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, “Alright, help see if Francis Harmon has reached ho!”
“You can see it too,” Ayden Ac said mysteriously, and then suddenly pressed a finger to his forehead, pulling it forward. A white light suddenly ford. He flicked his finger, the white light transford into a light screen, growing increasingly vivid, with sounds of walking and noise constantly audible!
Francis Harmon’s figure appeared; he had reached a market near his ho, seemingly carrying two pounds of at with him.
“The master is back…” All the servants guarding the gate surrounded him upon seeing Francis Harmon return ho, nodding and bowing, helping carry the at!
“Move the kitchen’s preparation table to the lady’s room; the master wants to make sothing delicious for her!”
“The master is back!” To Francis Harmon’s surprise, Rose Campbell ca out, supported by two young maidservants. Once reaching the gate, she bowed, “Thank you, master, for your concern for Campbell!” Her eyes were slightly red as she spoke!
“Madam, it’s windy here. Let’s hurry back to the inner courtyard.” Francis Harmon, acting with false sincerity, dutifully supported Rose Campbell and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Soon after, they arrived at Rose Campbell’s room, where the preparation table was already set with minced at and various ingredients, just waiting for the master to get started!
The master wanted to make dumplings, reportedly a recipe that originated from the palace. The Prince was passionate about it, and after tasting them, Francis Harmon couldn’t stop praising them. Later, he enquired about the recipe, so dumplings were often made at ho when there was free ti.
Francis Harmon tied on an apron, looking quite the part, and had Rose Campbell sit down as he began to work.
Rose Campbell sat behind him, watching him with a daze.
“If Madam has any questions, feel free to ask.”
“Could you tell about your king? What kind of person is he?” Rose Campbell gently opened her mouth.
“He…” Francis Harmon thought for a mont, “The first ti I saw him, he was wearing the Imperial Robe, but his hands, his face, even his hair were gold, blinding my eyes. I’m a man who loves wealth, so I saw his hair as strands of gold bars. Later I learned he possessed the Undying Gold Body, and then I understood a bit, so kind of reincarnation, but I haven’t asked about the specifics!”
“Golden Body? Reincarnation? Sinfire?” Rose Campbell was smart. Connecting these dots, it had to be the reincarnation of Golden Sovereign.
This was exactly the effect Yusuf Zuck wanted. A fool might not guess, but with a little smoke and mirrors, Rose Campbell couldn’t help but think of Golden Sovereign.
“No wonder he isn’t intrigued by his Creation’s Golden Volu.” Rose Campbell took a deep breath, having understood all the key points!
At this point, Francis Harmon continued: “As for His Majesty, he’s never lost a battle, no matter how formidable the opponent. He always has a way to defeat them, which is why all the civil and military officials in the court are utterly devoted to him, genuinely loyal!”
“I understand now, no need to say more.” Rose Campbell took a deep breath, then softly said, “Husband, I apologize for before. From now on, I’ll live a good life with you, safely give birth to our child, and let you be the head of the household. I, Campbell, will retire and take the na Claire Harmon, and our children will take the Harmon family na.”
“Of course, it would be even better if our children could receive His Majesty’s favor.”
“Haha, that’s not hard! I’ll even have His Majesty accept our children as godchildren. Don’t you see how well I get along with His Majesty? Didn’t he co to first when I was in trouble? Moreover, when you planned to rebel, he didn’t bla us. To be honest, His Majesty once said I’d have great fortune in the future, to work hard, and that my destiny and future weren’t just what I could see now.”
“Really?” Rose Campbell exclaid in surprise.
“Why would I lie? Otherwise, why else would His Majesty treat so well? He regards as a mber of the direct line, grooming like one. I embezzle and corrupt, I skip court for days, yet he doesn’t mind. So do you think an ordinary chancellor would have such treatnt?”
“Hmm, good, good, husband, I too recognize your uniqueness, let’s rest together tonight!” Rose Campbell hugged Francis Harmon from behind!
…
As Ayden Ac watched to this point, he closed the light screen and glanced at Yusuf Zuck, saying, “That Francis Harmon is quite a cunning person, clever and adaptable!”
