Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 806 Poor Carlson (Part Two)

"Then what about your duties here?"

"It's fine as long as Carlson is here. Moreover, he was sent here to take over the job. Yet, he left everything to me and came to look for Princess Harper. Tell him that he's responsible for the Birch Pass now. I'm going back to the imperial capital." Then, like what he said, Shawn left everything behind and ran away. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Meanwhile, the frustrated Carlson went back to the general's mansion to seek comfort, but the only thing he found in there was silence. He couldn't help but wonder, 'Why is the general's mansion so quiet when Uncle Matthew and the others had just arrived? Also, where is Shawn?'

Left without any options, Carlson asked a servant, "Have Prince Matthew and Princess Harper arrived?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I haven't seen their carriage come in here."

'It's so weird. Didn't they enter the city before I did? Why haven't they arrived yet? Did they get lost?' Carlson rubbed his head, feeling that something was strange. He asked again, "Is General Shawn in here?"

"No, he returned to the imperial capital with his luggage," the servant answered straightaway.

"That's impossible. How could he go back to the imperial capital during this time?"

"It's true, Your Highness. I personally saw the deputy general of General Shawn packed up and followed the general away. They rode the fastest horses here. By the way, he left a message for you. He said that from now on, you'll be in charge of the Birch Pass."

Carlson was stunned, immediately cursing Shawn in his mind, 'Damn it, asshole, we've been friends for so many years. How could you just leave like that and hand over this awful mess to me?!

I'm done with you. I don't want to be your friend anymore!' Carlson walked out with so much resentment and stood at the gate. He was determined to tell Harper that Shawn had bullied him!

But it was a fact that from day to night, he didn't see Matthew's carriage come to the general's mansion. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Did Uncle Matthew go to the official inn?"

One of the guards at the gate stared at Carlson who looked aggrieved. The guard kept quiet and didn't answer his question. However, he really wanted to tell Carlson that Matthew had already left the city, and Shawn was informed that they left the Birch Pass, so he packed his luggage and left as well. It was obvious that Shawn didn't want to deal with the trouble in the Birch Pass. But Carlson, close to being a fool, was just senselessly waiting there.

Carlson kicked the guard. "I'm asking you. Where is Prince Matthew?"

"Your Highness, Prince Matthew came to the city today. Then, they left without taking a break and headed for the imperial capital. I'm afraid they had already traveled a hundred miles by now," the guard immediately replied.

"He left for the imperial capital? Why did they leave in such a hurry when they just came back from the South Kingdom?" Carlson raised his voice in disbelief.

"I heard that there was someone in the imperial capital, and Princess Harper missed them very much, so they left in a hurry without hesitation."

Carlson almost burst into tears. They had not seen each other for such a long time. Didn't Harper miss him as well? The woman ran away after such a quick meeting. She was even so cruel that... 'I don't want to fall out with you. I want you to make it up to me!'

Feeling a little hopeless, Carlson squatted in the corner, drew circles, and began to complain in his heart. He kept cursing at Matthew, thinking that it must be him who did it. He didn't think that Harper

would ever be that ruthless to him. As a vicious and cruel man, Matthew looked serious and composed on the surface. But in fact, he was more wicked and shameless than anyone else!

"Is there anything I should do in the Birch Pass?"

"Twenty hundred thousand soldiers should be taken over. General Shawn only took over one-third of them, and the taking over of the remaining two-thirds will be left to you. To be honest, all these soldiers in the south domain are very tough. Your Highness, it will be very hard for you to deal with them. When General Shawn first went to the military camp, the soldiers just sneered at him. They even said that he was so weak. So he went and beat up ten thousand soldiers. It's said that they had been flogged and cried a million times." Even though it happened a long time ago, the guard was still a little afraid. General Shawn had a gentle appearance who always seemed like he was smiling. It actually looked like he was easy to push around. But he killed his enemies without even blinking. Even General Luther who had guarded the city in the past was killed under his sword.

However, Carlson only rolled his eyes after hearing that. He was enraged so he thought that it was the right time to go to the military camp and train the soldiers of the south domain. If he couldn't make them cry, he wouldn't stop!

The guards watched as Carlson left while riding a horse in a hurry. He even had a long spear in his hand. The guards then wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. "His Highness is such a moody person. General Shawn is better. He, at least, always has a smile on his face."

"Yes, he even smiles when he kills people. In my opinion, His Highness has a better disposition. His thoughts are all written on his face, unlike General Shawn. It's completely impossible to know what the general is thinking. But with His Highness, you don't have to guess," the other guard responded.

"I heard that General Shawn wasn't like this before. He used to be cold and indifferent. Later on, he began to smile unfathomably because of something that happened to him."

"Really? One would become smiling when they get stimulated?" the other guard asked in surprise.

"Probably, I'm not sure."

"I wonder what will happen to His Highness when he reaches the military camp and the soldiers provokes him. Will he change his personality once he comes back?" They looked at each other and then thought, 'No way! His Highness looks so carefree! It is impossible for the soldiers to break his spirit!'
