Female Novel
Chapter 680 Do You Want Him To Die (Part One)
Harper quietly watched the fight like a random outsider, and even talked with Forsythia from time totime, commenting on how the fight was going.
"Francis has been sick for many years. I never would have expected that even when he fights, it wouldbe so pleasing to the eye. No wonder everyone keeps saying that he is so handsome." Harper couldn'thelp but exclaim. It cropped up in her mind that when Matthew fought, he seemed so cruel that shedidn't really have the heart to watch. As the sword flashed, the head of the enemy had been cleanly cutoff and his blood had been spilled all over the place. In Francis' case, he seemed as ethereal as thewind, winding like a dragon as he fought. At that moment, he was so dashing and handsome.
When she heard Harper's remarks, Forsythia carefully observed Francis' every move. It was indeedbeautiful to watch, but Forsythia said with such disdain, "It is just pleasing to the eye, but not practical.In contrast to this, His Highness is really awesome. His martial arts is unbeatable, and no one canpossibly hold a candle to him."
Hearing this, Harper pinched Forsythia's cheek. Due to the pain, the latter grimaced. However, thesmile on Harper's face suddenly disappeared and she loosened her grip on Forsythia's cheek. "It lookslike we're in trouble."
Another group of assassins appeared out of the blue and went straight toward Harper. Obviously, thetwo groups of assassins were from different parties. One group was trying to kill Francis, while theother was trying to get rid of Harper.
"Stay behind me, Your Highness," Forsythia said, pointing her sword at the assassins as they went all-out, thrusting their swords to hit Harper's vital organs. Although Forsythia was fluent in martial arts,protecting Harper from so many assassins was not an easy task.
"Are the secret guards nearby?" asked Harper slowly.
With that, four men appeared in an instant, surrounding Harper and preventing any assassins fromgetting close to her. Raising her eyebrows, Harper checked on Francis.novelbin
Seeing that another group of assassins were targeting at Harper, Francis was a bit uneasy. But as soonas he saw Harper called out the secret guards, he felt so relieved that he was able to concentrate ondealing with the assassins coming after him.
"Judging from the way they move, they are most likely from the South Kingdom," Harper said as shesquinted her eyes. "I see. So, Diana is in the imperial capital."
This left the assassins who were coming for Harper so dumbfounded that they became pale-faced.Then, they all began to attack her even more desperately. Harper quickly took out a signal flare fromher arms, pointed it toward the sky, and said, "I think your goal is to take over the Repenting Tower andsave Hoffman, but you guys won't succeed!"
Never could've Diana expected that Harper would recognize that the assassins were from the SouthKingdom merely by the way they moved. Because of that, her aim was easily exposed. Now that it wasclear that she wouldn't be able to go to the Imperial Palace to save Hoffman, she made up her mind tojust kill Harper anyway!
So, Diana pulled out a black handkerchief to cover her face, and jumped into the fray. Since her identityhad already been exposed, she had no reason to hold back anymore. Harper might not be afraid of thevenomous insect poison, but the same thing couldn't be said for the others. As long as she couldpoison her guards, she was not afraid of failing to capture Harper.
After Diana joined the battle, she wasted no time and cunningly used the venomous insect poison rightaway. The guards were skilled in martial arts, but they were powerless in the face of the poison.Squinting her eyes, Harper suddenly pulled out a dagger and cut her palm. The vibrant crimson bloodflowed out in an instant. With a wave of her wrist, the blood splashed toward the assassins.
"Avoid being stained by her blood at all costs!" But it was already too late. Many assassins had comeinto contact with Harper's blood, and the venomous insect poison had been rendered useless. Despiteher resentment, Diana wouldn't give up so easily. Even though she could no longer use the poison, shewould still put an end to Harper's life today. There was no way in hell that she would let go of such aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
On the other side, the assassins coming after Francis were about to be annihilated, so Francisimmediately came to support Harper. The remaining assassins who were attacking him also seemed tobe unable to fend for themselves. In the end, the two groups of assassins blended together andcouldn't even tell who belonged to which group anymore.
"Just try to hold on for a little longer; the reinforcements will be here very soon." Francis stopped Dianafrom approaching Harper, as she calmly watched the battle while holding a dagger in her hand.
Although nobody was able to get close to Harper, everyone on her side was entangled by the enemies.In this bloody battlefield, Harper was probably the only one who didn't have her hands full.
"Humph! You all tried to torment me while my husband wasn't around." Harper shook her head indisappointment. As soon as Matthew left, someone immediately took advantage of his absence andtried to kill her. Given everything that was happening, she started missing Matthew. At the thought ofhim having to leave the imperial capital for a long time, she felt so down in the dumps.
Although Francis was caught up in a fight with Diana, he still kept an eye on Harper. He thought thatshe would be fine, but it seemed that she knew nothing about martial arts at all. Apart from that, asJason said, she now looked very different from what she used to be in the past!
Then, something totally unexpected happened. Just as everyone was busy trying to fend off theassassins, a hidden weapon appeared out of the blue and came straight toward Harper. In the air, the
weapon divided into three parts and looked quite dangerous as they directly targeted Harper's vitalparts.
"Your Highness!"
"Harper!"
Harper couldn't help but frown. Of course, she had already figured out the best way to avoid getting hit.Three hidden weapons, vicious as they might seem, were relatively easy to avoid. But, much to hersurprise, they further split into nine weapons as they got closer and closer to Harper!
"Nine Consecutive Hidden Weapons!" Harper continued to step back in a hurry. It was nearlyimpossible for her to avoid the nine hidden weapons, let alone avoid getting hit in her vital parts. Seeingthis, all the secret guards stopped fighting with the assassins and rushed to save Harper as fast as theycould. By doing so, they exposed their back to the enemy and put their lives at risk, but even then, theyonly managed to ward off the power of four hidden weapons, while the other five were still chargingstraight at Harper.
