Female Novel
Chapter 744 A Feeling Of Old Friends Being Reunited (Part Two)
A strange emotion flashed in the Holy Maiden's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Even so, Harperstill caught sight of it. Because of that, she felt curious and wondered if the Holy Maiden was happy tohear that she was married.
"Your husband must treat you very well," the Holy Maiden said. The women in the South Kingdom wereactually very open-minded. Many of them would go out to pick medicinal herbs to help support thefamily. Moreover, there were a lot of female shamans in the entire place. They started to learn somepoisoning skills since they were children. Such skills could not only hurt people, but save them fromvarious diseases and conditions as well.
The Holy Maiden closed her eyes and carefully sniffed her surroundings. "You have a faint smell ofmedicine. Are you a shaman?" she asked.
"I'm afraid I can't be called a shaman. I only like dealing with medicinal herbs. Some of them should betreated in various ways in order to preserve them very well. I have also been educated with medicaleffects by physicians, so that I can help my husband with our livelihood. As time goes by, it seems likemy body has absorbed the smell of medicine," Harper lied without batting an eye.
While listening to Harper, the Holy Maiden nodded her head. It seemed like she believed what Harpersaid. However, Harper couldn't help but snicker because it was so easy to deceive her. She thoughtthat the Holy Maiden was naive enough that if she left the South Kingdom, it was very likely for her tobe caught by human traffickers.
"How long are you going to stay in the capital?" the Holy Maiden curiously asked.
"I wanted to leave when all the medicinal herbs that we brought are sold. But my husband said that weshould wait until the Worship Ceremony is over," Harper answered with a simple smile. And just likethat, the two women sat together while talking about everything for two hours.
"How about you and your husband come to the Starry Palace as my guests? Let's say, one of thesedays, before you leave the capital. Please let me entertain you to express my gratitude. What do youthink?" Harper couldn't count how many times she had been surprised that day. However, that invitationmust be the most overwhelming of all.
"Your Grace, the Starry Palace is a holy place. How can we as normal citizens enter a place like that? Ihave already seen you, and even got to sit with you and talk about a lot of things. I can say that I haveno more regret in my life. My life is now complete," Harper said while waving her hand continuously.
But the Holy Maiden only handed a token to Harper. "Since I've invited you, it means that you can enterthe palace. Besides, it's not forbidden to enter the Starry Palace. The only place where outsiders arenot allowed to enter is the library inside of it."
With the token in her hands, Harper looked very much flattered. "I see. In that case, thank you verymuch for this once in a lifetime invitation, Your Grace."
"I think tomorrow is a good day. How about coming to the Starry Palace tomorrow? I'm honestly alwaysso bored while staying there by myself. It will be really amazing if you can accompany me. We can talkover tea, just like what we're doing now," the Holy Maiden stated with confidence. She even orderedthe keeper of the inn to escort Harper and her husband to the Starry Palace tomorrow.
"Let me see you out," Harper said. While she led the Holy Maiden to the door, they happened to bumpinto Becky, who was coming back into the inn. Becky didn't have any idea who the Holy Maiden was.But when she saw that Harper was with her instead of Matthew, who was always by Harper's side,Becky instantly had an impulse to embarrass Harper.
"What are you doing? Have you realized that it's not good for you to be extremely jealous so you founda concubine for your husband? Are you doing this in order to make him love you more?" Becky taunted
Harper with outrageous questions. She then looked at the face of the Holy Maiden and exclaimed,"What a very beautiful catch! Where did you find her? In a brothel?"
"How dare you?!" Harper scolded her.novelbin
Slap! As soon as Harper finished speaking, the Holy Maiden slapped Becky right across her face. Shedid it so quickly that Becky wasn't able to avoid it. While looking at the Holy Maiden in disbelief, Beckyplaced one hand on her cheek which had been slapped. "How dare you hit me?! Do you know that I'ma distinguished guest of Princess Diana from the Bright Dynasty?"
The Holy Maiden snorted before telling her, "Diana? Even if you're a distinguished guest of the king ofthe South Kingdom, I still won't hesitate to slap you. Who do you think you are? How dare you act like acrazy person in front of me?! If you don't understand the rules, I will teach you on behalf of the emperorof the Bright Dynasty!"
Apparently, Becky hadn't expected that the woman by Harper's side would have a powerful influence.When she mentioned Diana, the woman didn't show a bit of fear and even said that the king of theSouth Kingdom would be unable to protect her as well. Becky started to wonder who on earth she was.
She then looked at Harper and turned her resentment at her. She thought to herself, 'Harper must haveknown her identity, but she didn't even remind me. Instead, she deliberately made me provoke thisperson so as to embarrass me. What a vicious woman she is!'
Becky couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Who are you then?"
"This is the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom," Harper introduced with a small smile.
Becky's face turned pale. She had never imagined that Harper would be associated with the HolyMaiden. Based on the casual and friendly atmosphere between the two, Becky figured that Harper and
the Holy Maiden must have known each other for a long time. It baffled her because she had no ideaabout it. She then wondered how many more secrets Harper had which she didn't know.
"Your Grace, please forgive me. I didn't mean to deliberately offend you. The woman by your side isvicious and jealous. Every woman who gets remotely close to her husband will end up miserable.When I saw a beautiful female standing by her side, I misunderstood the situation. Please forgive meonce again, Holy Maiden."
Perplexed, the Holy Maiden looked at Harper and asked, "Jealous?"
"Yes, I actually get jealous very easily. I require my husband not to marry any other woman in hislifetime. No woman except me could be by his side," Harper frankly admitted.
With a smile of admiration on her face, the Holy Maiden said, "You want to be married to a faithful manand spend your entire life with him in happiness. I do respect your courage. You must come to theStarry Palace tomorrow. Let's have a good chat then."
"Okay, I will," Harper replied, returning the smile.
