Chapter 663 A Marriage Alliance (Part Two)
"No, I don't think he would be that ruthless to me!" Lilian was quick to defend her proposal.
Looking mercifully at the girl who was now trapped in the dead end, Harper shook her head and said,"He never has feelings for you! Did you hear me? Rolando doesn't love you. Are you sure about doingthis?"
"I strongly believe that my sincere love will move him eventually," Lilian said confidently.
Harper understood that she wouldn't be able to persuade Lilian, who had been infatuated with Rolandoeven when he was still Chodak. She used to chase him everywhere all over the world, regardless ofothers' opinions. Now that Chodak had regained his identity and became the new emperor of the GreatJade Kingdom, she would never stop loving him.
"Well, if you really want to do that, just ask Francis. I believe he will help you." Now that Harper couldn'tdissuade Lilian, it was her duty as her aunt to give her some advice. Francis didn't want to have aconflict with the Great Jade Kingdom. Since Lilian was willing to marry the emperor, Francis would bemost happy to see that.
"Thank you very much, Aunt."
"I hope you get what you want."
Looking at Lilian, who left in a hurry, Harper shook her head. Rolando was known to have atemperament very similar to Matthew. As long as he didn't care about someone, he would remainunmoved even if that person were to die in front of him. Obviously, Rolando didn't care about Lilian.
"Your Highness, Princess Lilian is really going to have a marriage alliance?" asked Nina confusedly. Itmade little sense to her why a princess was voluntarily willing to accept a political marriage. In history,
all the princesses in the imperial household had cried out to refuse the political marriage, but Liliancried out that she wanted to marry a man through the marriage alliance.
"If she is going to plead with Francis, he will agree," Harper said slowly. "Nina, I think it's time to putyour marriage with Barry on the agenda."
"Your Highness, I... I…" Nina failed to find the right words to express her surprise.
"I'll soon discuss this with Matthew and decide your wedding date." After she heard that, Nina's faceflushed red with shyness. Harper couldn't help but want to tease her. "Every day, when Barry sees me,he behaves as if he wants to ask when I will allow you to marry him. It seems as if he believes I havestolen his wife, and I dare not to keep you with me anymore."
"Your Highness!" Nina was anxious. "I do not wish to leave you."novelbin
"So, does it mean that you don't wish to marry Barry? Well, if that's the case, I'll send someone at onceto reject him, saying that you already have someone you like and you're not willing to be his wife."Harper was about to tell someone to send a message to Barry, but Nina held her back in a hurry.
"Your Highness!"
"Hahaha, Nina, Her Highness was just kidding with you." Forsythia burst into laughter, and Ninaimmediately rushed into the room with a blush, so she could hide herself.
"She even feels shy." Harper shook her head with a smile. "Barry is dull, clumsy in speech and a littlestupid as well, but he is fine."
The corners of Forsythia's mouth twitched. "Your Highness, does Barry really have that manyshortcomings?"
"Not just Barry, but Fred also has a lot of shortcomings." Harper counted on her fingers. "Fred is toocold. He never talks much and often gets angry."
"What about Steward Noah then?"
"Noah is talkative and cunning. He always throws his jobs to me! If any woman has a crush on him,chances are that she would definitely get exploited by him," Harper said through gritted teeth.
"Then... What about His Highness?"
Harper paused for a while, and then said with a smile, "Matthew has many shortcomings. They are ascountless as the stars in the sky."
"Is His Highness that bad? Doesn't he have a lot of advantages?" Forsythia stuttered.
"Advantage? Yes. But his advantage is as few as the sun." With a smile in her eyes, Harper rested herchin on one hand. "But when the sun rises, you can't see the stars. So, no matter how manyshortcomings he has, I can't see them."
Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief. "If His Highness was here now, he would have been thrilled afterhearing your words."
Harper glanced at Forsythia. "It's said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. You probably can'tunderstand it now. But you'll understand it when you find a man someday and think he is so perfect thatno one can be compared to him."
Forsythia rolled her eyes and asked, "Tell me, Your Highness. Who is better, His Highness or MisterZack?"
"You wish to be beaten!" Harper pretended to be angry and beat her playfully. "They are not at all of thesame kind."
"Why? I think His Highness and Mister Zack both have their own merits. But your likes and dislikesshould also be taken into consideration. The one you love is always better!" Forsythia said.
"No. The one I love is the best for me, but it's not the same for others. But it's not fair to deny Zack'sadvantages. His good is slow and gentle with silence, while Matthew's good is like a storm that cantotally catch me off guard. Being gentle and silent is good, but before it can go deep into your heart,you will get invaded by the storm. So if you really love someone, pursue him in time," Harper stated.
Forsythia chuckled, and said, "Your Highness, how do you feel after hearing these words?"
Harper was surprised, and turned around quickly. As expected, she saw Matthew standing at the door,looking at her quietly. Although he stood there expressionless, joy spilled over his eyes. Harper pouted,glaring at Forsythia, and thought, 'How dare you trick me into saying that!'
"You're back."
"Yes, I'm." Matthew stepped inside, and immediately had a silent, blissful feeling of home. Someonewas waiting and caring for him. Only the words "you're back" made him extremely happy.
