Chapter 752 The Envoy From The Great Jade Kingdom (Part One)
Matthew was not satisfied with Harper's answer. So he exerted a little bit more strength in pinching herto make it a little painful. In return, she frowned at him. Instantly, the red snake bent its body to attackhim, but Harper stretched out her hand to grab its tail. She then threw it far away from them.
Matthew loosened his hold on Harper. He then noticed that her hand had turned red because of hisgrip. Gently, he took hold of her hand with both of his and rubbed it with his utmost carefulness. "Thatlittle thing has very fast instincts to protect its master! You have spent so much time raising it and as itturns out, it's worthwhile. Only, it's so blind that it even wanted to bite me."
With that, they both looked at the red snake which she had thrown earlier. It didn't understand why itgot punished after attacking the one who was hurting its master. At that moment, it drooped its head,not daring to approach Harper.
Harper waved her hand and the eyes of the snake lit up. Then, it crawled to her foot and climbed upalong her leg, stopping on her wrist. It didn't move after that, resting idly with its master. If anyone wereto look at her without checking carefully, they would think that she was only wearing a pretty bracelet.
"It could be used as a good weapon to plot against others." Matthew couldn't help but say. Who wouldthink that Harper would carry a red poisonous snake with her?
Harper seemed to agree with him. She stated, "You may be right. After all, I don't have any idea aboutFrancis' plan, so I should be more vigilant. Although I'm not afraid of poison, I don't want to be injured,so I'd better be extra careful. Not to mention, the Wonder Kingdom which never involved themselves inanything like this, has also sent envoys to the South Kingdom this time, which made me feel uneasy."While she was conveying her thoughts, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"I'm afraid that the Wonder Kingdom has the same goal as us." Matthew was actually well aware of thesituation in the Wonder Kingdom. For the past years, the kingdom had been keeping to themselves.They neither clashed nor communicated with any other nation. But now, they had started to get in touch
with other countries again and even sent people to the South Kingdom. Plus with the records whichthey had seen in the Secret Pavilion, Matthew couldn't help but think that the Wonder Kingdom must beplanning on the other half of the Sacred Seal.
"Well, let's see who'll rise to the occasion and win."
It was late at night when Harper was awakened by the noise outside. Still with groggy eyes, shereached out her hand to the space beside her. However, it was already empty.
"Someone!" Harper had no choice but to exclaim.novelbin
Forsythia pushed the door open and asked, "Your Highness, did they wake you up?"
"What's happening outside?" Harper rubbed her forehead because she suddenly felt pain in hertemples. 'What is going on outside at midnight? This is the temporary dwelling palace for the envoys.Who would dare to cause trouble here? Do they want to get killed?' There were so many questions onher mind.
"Your Highness, an envoy from the Great Jade Kingdom just arrived. As soon as he did, he broke intoour quarters. His Highness went out in an effort to send him away. Now, that envoy..." Forsythia wasabout to say something, but hesitated. For her, that envoy was too shameless.
Because of that, Harper's eyes lit up. "The envoy from the Great Jade Kingdom! Get me dressed. Ineed to go out and have a look."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Harper had been imagining what this specific envoy looked like. She even pondered on her mind thecountless possibilities of his character. After getting dressed, she went outside in a rush. However,despite the numerous possibilities she had been thinking about, it seemed like there was one thing that
slipped her mind. A tall man was not only dressed in women's clothes and wearing make-up, but hewas even pressing his fingers together like a sissy while speaking. He was obviously flirting withMatthew. It was not just intolerable, but it was unbearable for her to witness!
Therefore, under the hot weather in July, Harper did not hesitate to greet the envoy of the Great JadeKingdom. She poured a basin of hot water on him which ultimately shocked everyone on the spot.
Naturally, it seemed like the envoy was a little surprised. He even forgot to put his crossed fingers back.The rouge on his face was wet, and instantly, it was sliding down his cheeks. His colorful face whichhad been perfect just a few seconds ago was now too miserable to be seen. The woman's clotheswere wet as well. They stuck to his body, revealing his strong chest.
If Matthew were being completely honest, he was quite satisfied with his wife's brave behavior. "Seemslike we woke you up," he said.
Harper handed the basin to Forsythia. She then straightened her back before responding, "Yes, youdid. Who would have thought that I would be frightened as soon as I came out? My hand trembled andbefore I knew it, water was thrown into the air. Please forgive me, sir."
The envoy, also the new prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom, Miguel Hua, was considered to bea man of a high position. So in an instant, he pulled himself together, wiped the water on his facecoquettishly and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm pleased that such a beauty poured water on me. Tell methen, lovely, do you want to be a guest in my room? I just brought some good tea and I want to have acup with you. What do you think?"
Harper stepped forward with a broad smile, which ultimately dazzled Miguel. But before long, she hadgrabbed the man by the chin and quickly opened her mouth. "I don't care. I don't know that Chodak—No, we should call him Rolando now. I didn't know that Rolando would like someone with style such asyours."
Miguel held Harper's hand and said, "His Majesty doesn't like my style. He likes..."
Before he could finish speaking, Matthew hit Miguel's wrist with his palm. "Let her go!" Miguel wastaken aback. He immediately released his grip on Harper's hand, tilted his body, and was about to fallinto Matthew's arms.
"Your Highness, if you don't want me to hold a woman's hand, just tell me. I've already told you that Iwill do anything for you as long as you ask me to."
The next second, Matthew moved to avoid Miguel and place his arm around Harper's waist. Miguelalmost fell to the ground, but midway, he stood up on his feet. Looking at the vigilant Matthew, he feltbored.
"That's not funny at all. I went on a long journey, without stopping for days and nights to come heresooner. I did it so I can see you much earlier but you're so ruthless and indifferent to me," Miguelgrumbled.
