Chapter 755 Something From His Majesty (Part Two)
Even before he could speak, Harper already knew that Miguel was on the premises. However, shedidn't want to see him as she could still remember how he had looked the night before. After all, shewas enjoying her breakfast at that moment. So as much as possible, she didn't want to vomiteverything she had just eaten.
"Please come back next time, Prime Minister Miguel. My wife is unwell, so it's not a good time for her toreceive any guest," Matthew firmly said, resolutely dismissing Miguel.
Of course, Miguel refused to leave so easily. "Prince Matthew, Lady Harper and our emperor are goodfriends and they have gone through a lot of difficult and dangerous times together. This time, before Icame to the South Kingdom, His Majesty repeatedly told me to pass on something to Lady Harper inperson. Lady Harper, don't you want to see me, even if it's just for His Majesty's sake?"
Harper was rendered speechless because of the things that Miguel had just said. She couldn't help butwonder what Rolando might have asked Miguel to give her.
Meanwhile, Matthew only frowned with what Miguel had just informed them. By instinct, he felt thatwhatever it was that Miguel was supposed to give Harper, it wouldn't be anything good. However,Rolando had two Heavenly Books in his hands. And if they wanted to know what had happened to theQin Clan and the secrets about Harper's body, they needed to have all three Heavenly Booksaltogether and get the Sacred Seal.
"Let's see him," Matthew finally said. When Harper didn't utter a word in response and passively lookedat him quietly, he felt that it was safe. So, he gestured the servant to allow Miguel to come in.
As soon as Miguel entered the room, he directly sat next to Harper at the table. He grabbed a stuffedbun and threw it into his mouth. "I went to bed late last night so I got up very late this morning. I haven'thad any breakfast yet."
"Prepare a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for Prime Minister Miguel," Harper ordered right away.
"You are so kind, unlike someone who tried to hurt me as soon as he heard that I was here," Miguelsaid while subtly peeking at Matthew. Although he was still dressed a little provocatively, he wasbehaving normally right then. Harper almost thought that he had two personalities, one at night and theother during the day.
A maid fetched a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for Miguel. After being given the utensils, he beganeating without hesitation. While still chewing his food, he sighed with utmost contentment. He then said,"The weather here in the South Kingdom is extremely hot and humid! I could hardly bear it. But thisbreakfast is really good. My trip has not been in vain."
When Harper was already full and satisfied, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. She immediatelynoticed that Miguel ate up all of the ten stuffed buns on the table, two small dishes of pickles, and twobowls of porridge. She could not help but widen her eyes in shock as she admired Miguel's appetite.
After a while, Miguel finally put down his bowl and chopsticks. In a satisfied tone, he said, "It is said thatbeautiful women have the ability to encourage appetite. Looking at you right now, I can believe that it'strue. Today, I had breakfast at the same table with a beauty, so I was able to eat a lot. I'm actually quitesurprised by myself."
The corner of Harper's mouth twitched at his words. "What did Rolando ask you to give me?" sheasked straight on.
When he heard that, Miguel winked at her and said, "Why don't you try guessing?"novelbin
Matthew removed his sword from his waist and placed it on top of the table. If Miguel attempted to foolthem, he would not hesitate to stab Miguel furiously.
"I don't want to guess. After all, Rolando is different from you. If I guess correctly, you might change theanswer, so no, I'm not going to do it."
"Beauty, you don't believe me. That hurts me so much," Miguel complained, pretending to beheartbroken. Matthew unsheathed his sword and placed it on Miguel's shoulder.
Miguel chuckled in embarrassment before saying, "Take it easy. I'll take it right now."
Harper took a cup of tea from Forsythia and had a sip of it gracefully. Then she said, "Prime MinisterMiguel, please don't mind my husband's bad temper. It's very obvious that he has been trying his bestto restrain himself. If it was in the past, he would have killed you by now."
With a calm smile, Miguel pinched Matthew's sword with his fingers and carefully pushed it away fromhim. It was not until then that he took out a wad of paper from his pocket and handed it to Harper. "HisMajesty is inviting you to visit the Great Jade Kingdom. The weather is rather pleasant for a trip rightnow. I'm sure you're going to like it."
"I should thank Emperor Rolando for his invitation—" Harper was about to refuse the invitation, but sheswallowed her words upon seeing what was on the paper. In fact, what Rolando had asked Miguel togive her was a copy of the other Heavenly Book. However, what was on her hands was not complete. Itwas only a part of the book.
When he noticed the change in Harper's demeanor, Matthew knew that whatever Miguel had broughtto her must be something related to the Heavenly Book. He could not help but grit his teeth while hethought that Rolando really knew what Harper cared about the most.
"What happened to Rolando's hand? When he left the imperial capital, he had not fully recovered yet,"Harper gently asked after putting away the copy of the Heavenly Book.
Looking at Harper with so much interest, Miguel responded, "Well, he doesn't have any problem usinghis hand for daily tasks. However, he can't use a sword anymore. Since he was very skilled at using asword before, it's really a pity for him. By the way, I still remember when Prince Matthew went to theGreat Jade Kingdom to escort Lady Lilian the last time, he actually harassed His Majesty without anymercy by using a sword."
Miguel was trying his best to sow discord between the couple. 'His Majesty disabled his arm just tosave you. But your husband was so shameless that he took advantage of His Majesty's poor healthcondition and fought him using a sword."
Harper turned to look at Matthew, who looked righteous without any hint of a guilty conscience.Whenever he would hurt other people, he didn't care if they were disabled or in a good condition. Eitherway, he would harass them because he believed that they were asking for it.
"And then?"
"Naturally, your husband defeated His Majesty."
"Is there anything else?" Harper asked. Disappointment was written all over her face.
"Do you want to disable His Majesty's other arm as well?"
"I thought you were upset with my husband because he defeated Rolando. So you took revenge onhim by wearing women's clothes in an attempt to seduce him and even try to turn him gay," Harper saidin a serious tone. She felt that with regards to what Miguel had done last night, her assumption actuallymade perfect sense!
