Female Novel
Chapter 837 A Special Friend (Part One)
In the middle of his conversation with Harper, Matthew sighed silently. He knew that Harper woulddefinitely go to the Great Jade Kingdom by herself. She had decided that she must acquire theHeavenly Book as well as the Sacred Seal. Even if Matthew could guarantee that he would get it forher, Harper would still insist on going with him. After all, Rolando was not an ordinary opponent. IfMatthew wanted to take something from that man, it would cost him a lot!
But even so, Matthew didn't want Harper to deal with Rolando herself. Nonetheless, he knew his wifetoo well. Once she set her mind on something, no one and nothing could stop her, not even Matthew.Moreover, Rolando had once saved Harper's life, so Harper thought that she should pay him a visit.
"The twelve secret guards will be with you. Remember, protect yourself."
"I know, you can rest assured that I will. I promise that I will cherish my life to the best of my abilities."To join in the celebration of the coronation in the Great Jade Kingdom, the representatives from theBright Dynasty had set off. Everyone thought that Harper would go with them. So they were surprisedwhen she stayed, without showing any intention of going to the Great Jade Kingdom.
Even Zack was a little bit confused. As far as he knew, Rolando had two of the Heavenly Books, so hethought that Harper wouldn't have been unconcerned about them. He immediately went to visit her tosee what happened. When he reached their mansion, he found Harper laying leisurely in the yard whilebasking in the sun. "Wow, you seem to be having a relaxing and peaceful day."
Harper opened her eyes and saw Zack. With a smile on her face, she asked him to sit down. "Whatbrings you here? Didn't His Majesty enslave you?"
"I finally have the time and soon enough, I heard that you're lonely and pitiful, now that you're alone.But when I came here, I find you in this very soothing state. People are saying that you're going to beabandoned by Prince Matthew, since he left home without you. Everyone is already planning how to
push their daughters into his mansion." He then took the teapot on the stone table and poured himselfa cup of tea. "This is some good tea! I have to say, you really have a good taste."
"You are currently the youngest grand secretary of the Cabinet in the Bright Dynasty. I'm assuming thetea in your mansion must be better than mine. Perhaps the emperor sent all of those valuable things toyour mansion in order to win over your heart," Harper teased him.
Upon hearing that, Zack smiled helplessly. "Actually, I would rather that His Majesty doesn't treat me sowell. That way, I can slack off on my work."
Harper picked up a grape, put it into her mouth, and said, "I'm afraid that His Majesty already knowswhat was on your mind. So he's doing his best to try and win you over and then, you'll have to doeverything for him."novelbin
After a sigh, Zack felt like Harper was in a good mood so he asked, "Why didn't you go to the GreatJade Kingdom with Prince Matthew this time?"
"Oh, I'm going there. I'll catch up with him a little later," Harper immediately said.
"Isn't Prince Matthew worried about you?" Zack raised his voice. He couldn't believe what he justheard. No matter how powerful and mighty Harper was, she was still vulnerable as a woman. Therewere so many cunning people that might aspire to hurt her. How could Matthew be rest assured inletting her go by herself? He was so confused. He thought that something just didn't feel right.
Putting the grapes in front of Zack, Harper said, "Of course, he's worried about me. He left the twelvesecret guards to protect me. I was actually supposed to go with him, but I can't leave right nowbecause of Wendy's condition. I must wait until she becomes stable enough. Until then, I have to stayhere. That's the only reason that I didn't go with him. It's not really that big of a deal."
Zack did hear that Harper was curing Wendy. He had also heard about Wendy's illness and that it wasdifficult to treat. Now that Harper was curing her, Wendy's condition must be very critical but hebelieved that Harper had a way to treat her.
"Can she recover and be back to normal?" Zack had been Shawn's friend for many years, so hethought that he should care about his friend's younger sister.
While eating some grapes, Harper replied, "Yes, if everything goes well. Anyway, it's autumn now andthe Bright Dynasty is getting colder. I heard that the climate in the Great Jade Kingdom is warm and itfeels like spring all year round. I wonder if it's true."
"Yeah, it's true. The Great Jade Kingdom has four seasons like spring all the year around. The climateis quite pleasant there. By the way, it seems like Shawn is going back to the north domain really soon.Will you go with him then?" Zack gently asked.
"I guess so."
Zack was actually relieved to hear that. "That's good. You can take care of each other on the way. Also,His Majesty has ordered to close the Secret Pavilion. Did you know about this?"
"The Secret Pavilion has been closed?" Harper was a little surprised. The Secret Pavilion was a secretweapon of the Bright Dynasty. Although it wasn't decent to look at, it could sometimes be gifted withunusual effects. Harper didn't understand why Lucas had ordered to close it.
"Yes, His Majesty has also dismissed all of the people in the Secret Pavilion. Someone working in thereactually refused to obey the order so His Majesty had them flogged. He even issued an order of arrest."Zack showed the wanted order to Harper. Immediately, she noticed that Becky was included in the list.
"It's said that she is the one who was in charge of the Secret Pavilion—"
"I know this woman. Not only is she the one in charge of the Secret Pavilion, but she also works forFrancis. When I was in the South Kingdom, she was involved in his plot against me. If she didn't helpFrancis, I wouldn't have suffered so much." At the thought of Becky, the light in Harper's eyes darkeneda little. If she were to see the wicked woman next time, she certainly wouldn't be polite towardsher.
