Don't Lie To Me, Or Lightning Will Strike You!

Jasper didn't have a queen, so I am the highest-ranking woman in the palace. When I entered the Imperial Garden, everyone greeted me and paid their respects.

There were more than ten of them, everyone was young and beautiful.

Jasper, you really were a beast, tsk tsk.

At that moment, one of them couldn't help but provoke me, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor didn't spend the night with you last night. I wonder if you did something to upset him?"

I smiled and looked at her beautiful face, saying, "Are you the Sophia?"

She looked at me arrogantly, with a face full of defiance, and said, 'Yes.'

I smiled and said, "You care so much about my personal life. Do you want to be good friends with me?"

I set a trap for her.

After a moment of hesitation, Sophia reluctantly said, "Yes," and then a thunder struck.

She was stunned.

Seeing Sophia's beautiful face turn black and charred, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then I asked the other who had always given me dirty looks, "Do you have any objections to me?"

"I dare not," she replied.

Another thunder struck.

When Jasper arrived at the banquet, he saw the concubine who had been struck and was in a daze. I was shining among the crowd.

He frowned heavily, "What trouble have you caused again, Claire?"

"I haven't done anything - Emperor, do you not like me?"

I pretended to be pitiful, knowing that Jasper was very particular about his image and wouldn't embarrass me in public.

As expected, Jasper turned away, angry and lying, "Claire, I am naturally pleased with you."

I waited for Jasper to be struck by lightning eagerly, but this time the sky was clear.

What was going on?

Did my skills fail, or...

I lowered my head, hiding the storm in my heart.

Does Jasper like me?

I would like to kneel and call Elena my mom rather than believe him!

My name was not Claire Lawson, it's Claire Lee. After being mistakenly carried away, Elena became the young miss of a wealthy family, while I became the daughter of a butcher.

Although my family was not wealthy, my parents had always loved me, which had made me arrogant.

When I was thirteen, the Strong tribe invaded and both my parents died. I joined the army with my big knife. I met Jasper.

At that time, he was a fallen prince who was sent to the border. It seemed that he wanted to establish a good relationship with us, but deep down, he looked down on everyone.

I heard that he always wore white clothes and remained spotless. He wanted to grow roses at the border and insisted on drinking water from a river thousands of miles away... He was a show-off through and through.

I didn't like him, so I beat him up a few times, openly and secretly.

I thought I would continue to protect my country at the border for the rest of my life. But everything changed when I was sixteen.

The Marquis's Mansion took me back home and told me that I was their lost daughter and Elena was the daughter of the butcher.

They despised my vulgarity and refused to give me my true identity, claiming that I was just their 'cousin'.

They captured my only friend, so I had no choice but to confess.

Fuck 'cousins'!

At this time, the palace servants brought delicious food, but I had no appetite to eat. It was only then that I realized that Elena was not at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and I felt a sense of disappointment as if my punch had missed its target.

Jasper looked at me and asked, "Claire, are you not hungry? Of course, how can the palace banquet compare to the Marquis's residence?"

Everyone fell silent.

I knew that I should get up and sincerely apologize, to absolve my father of blame, but his life and death had nothing to do with me.

I remained calm and said, "It should be improved."

Jasper's face turned pale and he didn't say anything, probably because he was too angry. I looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, why hasn't the Princess Light arrived?"

The Princess Light was my sister. After the prince's death, Jasper was the emperor. So she naturally couldn't be called the Crown Princess Light and could only be given the title of 'Princess Light'.

"She said that she was pushed into the water by you, and caught a chill," Jasper said.

Oh, Jasper loved Elena so much. It seemed that he was here to avenge Elena.

I couldn't help but retort, "I didn't push her! She pushed me!"

I knew that no one believed me when I saw the surprised look on everyone's faces.
