Chapter 846 Don't Like Your Type (Part Two)
They put stones on the board one after the other. However, Miguel was becoming a little slower intaking his turn. And Harper was a little impatient, so she picked up the book beside her and continuedreading while playing the game with him.
When Miguel saw that, he turned ghastly pale. He didn't know what to say. He had been trapped in alittle bit of trouble because of Harper's move, and he didn't know how to find a way out. In each of histurn, he would think for a long time before placing a stone. But Harper would drop one so quickly that itseemed like she didn't need time to think. It was making the self-proclaimed "expert in Go" feel hot onhis face.
"I surrender!" Miguel threw the stone back into the container, feeling a little upset. "Your Highness, areyou even a human? You weren't concentrating on the game but you even cornered me! And Iconsidered myself to be an expert in Go!"novelbin
Harper glanced at Miguel frostily. "If Rolando played this game with me, he wouldn't be like you."
"His Majesty has been playing Go since he was a child. How can I ever compare to him?"
"Well then, Zack wouldn't play this game like you did."
"The young grand secretary of your nation?" The expression on Miguel's face turned dark. He was thenew prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom, and Zack was the grand secretary of the BrightDynasty. Obviously, what Harper just said indicated that he was as capable as Zack.
"You know, everyone has their own strengths. I am not good at playing Go. Most especially, I aminferior to the ones who are especially good at tricks and manipulation."
"So did you acquire your current position just because of your charming face?" Harper sarcasticallyasked. But her words made Miguel furious, as if she had stepped on his injured foot.
"Harper Chu, don't push me too far!"
"What if I do? What are you going to do to me?" Harper asked without even raising her head to look athim.
Miguel felt defeated right away. At his prime, he was able to go against Harper, but he might not be amatch for her at that moment. What was more, there were a lot of secret guards outside. Once theyreceived a command from Harper, they would pick at his bones as if he were a mere animal.
"How long will it take to get to the capital?" Miguel lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside."This is Fancy City, not far from the capital."
Harper turned her head to look as well. She saw the prosperous city with people coming and going,greeting each other with a smile. "Rolando is such a good emperor," she delightedly said.
"Of course, His Majesty is always a wise man. He is very talented in leading the country. He is also anintelligent and sensible emperor. Someone like him only comes to the Great Jade Kingdom once in athousand years." Miguel actually felt lucky to serve the kind of emperor that Rolando was.
Harper nodded. "The Great Jade Kingdom is really doing amazing under his leadership."
"If it wasn't for the fatuous late emperor, your nation wouldn't have been tormented by such troubles.Although Lucas is talented in all respects, there are far too many hidden dangers. He is determined tochange the situation, but he might not have enough power to do that."
"Sometimes we need to do things with utmost determination and without even a drop of hesitation,"Harper said slowly. Lucas didn't have the will to make decisions with urgency and conviction. Butfortunately, Zack was with him. The Bright Dynasty would become stronger sooner or later. It was just amatter of time.
"Before we enter the capital, let me go. Your Highness, take care of yourself after you enter the capital,"Miguel abruptly said.
Harper nodded and asked right away, "How is Princess Lilian?"
Miguel's body went stiff. It was only for a moment, but Harper still noticed it. "She's doing really good inthe palace. His Majesty has always been tolerant and kind. Moreover, she's pregnant and is about tobecome the empress. Of course, she couldn't be any better."
"Oh, she's pregnant." Harper nodded her head in understanding. Rolando was the same age asMatthew, but both of them didn't have any children yet. Now, Rolando had become the emperor of theGreat Jade Kingdom, and the woman by his side was pregnant, so he must be very happy. If Liliangave birth to a son, her status would be more stable.
The expression in Miguel's eyes was very complicated, as if he had some unspeakable things. Harperwas not a person who liked to pry into other people's private lives, so she wouldn't force him into tellingher anything if he didn't want to. "As long as she's living a good life, then it's good," Harper stated.
"Your Highness —" Miguel was about to speak, but he immediately stopped himself. Then he askedafter quite a while, "Are you going to see Prince Matthew after you enter the capital city?"
"Perhaps, not. After all, I came to the Great Jade Kingdom in secret. What if Matthew gets mad anddoesn't want to talk to me after knowing that I came here without telling him? So right now, I'm still notsure." Harper giggled a little.
Miguel gritted his teeth. "You'd better meet with him as soon as possible."
Although Harper didn't understand why Miguel was asking her to do such a thing, she passivelynodded at him. What he said sounded a good advice. After all, they hadn't seen each other for days,
and she missed her husband so much.
Miguel lifted the curtain and was about to leave which ultimately surprised Harper. "You're leaving sosoon. Didn't you say that you're going to leave when we reach the capital?"
"On second thought, we'd better separate here. If possible, you don't need to enter the capital rightnow. Instead, wait outside the city to meet Prince Matthew. It's not a good thing for you to enter thecapital by yourself." As soon as Miguel finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and disappearedin the crowd. Before Miguel left, he released Diana's acupoint, which made her able to move and speakagain! Instantly, Diana breathed a sigh of relief, but she then cursed furiously,
"You bastard! I'll give you a lesson that you'll never forget when I see you next time!"
