Female Novel
Chapter 865 The Siblings Teamed Up (Part One)
In an instant, Rolando was gone. He left without even a bit of hesitation.
Watching his receding figure, Lilian crossed her arms on her chest. She then squatted on the groundand began to helplessly cry. She didn't understand why he was treating her like this. Before Harperarrived in the Great Jade Kingdom, Rolando would treat her with utmost care. Even though he didn'tlove her, she felt content as she enjoyed his attention.
But since Harper started living in the Harmony Palace, Rolando's attitude towards her had changed.His care and consideration gradually disappeared. It seemed like everything that they had in the pastwere not real. Unfortunately, Lilian was immersed in the delusional world that she had created in herhead and she didn't want to wake up.
Soon after, Daisy came into the room and she was very surprised to see the state that Lilian was in.The poor woman looked so distressed and miserable. Daisy quickly picked up her clothes and placedthem on her shoulder. "Your Highness, what's wrong? His Majesty seems to be very upset. I've neverseen him so furious before."
Lilian was crying so much that she was almost out of breath. With Daisy's help, Lilian walked to the bedand lay on it. She felt very dejected. Rolando's love for her was so superficial, but his love for Harperseemed so real. There was only one person who was allowed to call him by his real name and thathappened to be Harper. Not only that, but he would play the zither for her, help her with the dishes, anddo something that like an ordinary man would do for the woman he loved. In comparison, Rolando'streatment of Lilian was so different. He didn't even care about her feelings at all.
Staring into nothingness, Lilian asked, "Why am I not as good as her? That woman is so deceitful andcunning. I'm absolutely better than her. Why can't he see my merits?"
"Your Highness, are you all right?" Daisy was startled by Lilian's unusual behavior. She could sensethat something had happened between Rolando and Lilian when they were at the Harmony Palace, but
she didn't know why. When Lilian didn't answer, Daisy exclaimed, "I'm going to invite Lady Harperover!"
"No! Don't do that! I don't want to see her!" Lilian cried out, raising her voice.
"Your Highness..." Daisy looked at Lilian in bewilderment.
Looking back at Daisy, Lilian saw how surprised the woman was. With a sigh, Lilian closed her eyes, inan attempt to calm herself down. "You can go now. Just leave me alone."
"Yes, Your Highness."
What Lilian hated the most was the fact that she had given her heart and everything she had toRolando, but it turned out that he didn't love her at all. She hated Harper as well. If it wasn't for her,Rolando wouldn't treat her in such a cruel and unkind manner. Even though she was carrying his child,it really seemed like Rolando didn't care about her.
"Lilian." A voice called out. Lilian suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw the person sitting at thetable not far from her, she sat up in surprise as if she could not believe it. "Lilian, how have you been?"
"Francis! It's you!"
Right in front of her was Francis, her sixth brother. He was still dressed in white while looking gentleand serene, but Lilian knew that he was not as harmless as he seemed to be.
"What brings you here?" Lilian asked with caution.
Francis immediately understood what Lilian was thinking. He fidgeted with his jade ring and replied,"I'm here to take revenge on someone."
"Who are you talking about?" Lilian asked with a bit of excitement.
With resentment and viciousness in his eyes, Francis replied, "Don't worry. It's not Rolando. I'm here totake revenge on someone who hurt me so terribly and placed me in this kind of situation. Anyway, I'vebrought you into the Imperial Palace. But I didn't expect you to be so useless. You did nothing but hidein your room and cry by yourself."
Lilian looked at Francis in amazement and asked, "What do you mean?"novelbin
"Rolando has romantic affections for Harper. I've known about it for so long, even when he was stillChodak. Why do you think he would go back to the Great Jade Kingdom and fight his way to thethrone?" Francis stated with a smile.
"At that time, the health of the Great Jade Kingdom's emperor was already declining. He was in such acritical condition."
"No, it was Rolando who made the emperor sick. He agreed to marry you, got you pregnant, and madeyou his wife. There's a reason behind all of these. He wanted Harper to come here," Francis said whilehe looked at Lilian with so much pity.
"I don't believe it!"
"You saw it with your own eyes tonight and still, you refuse to believe me?" Francis sneered before hecontinued, "Even if you take off all your clothes and stand in front of Rolando, he still wouldn't careabout you. But when it comes to Harper, he's willing to give her everything even if she does nothing."
"That's a lie. You're lying to me. It was Harper who seduced Rolando. From the beginning, he wouldhave never fallen for her."
"Seduce him?" The expression on Francis' eyes darkened. He was actually realizing that Lilian mightbe right. Harper might have seduced Rolando, like she did with him. Harper was very kind to him, but
she refused to be with him. She even set him up for another man. Francis then added, "Yes, if indeedshe seduced Rolando, what are you going to do then? Are you going to just let her take awayRolando?"
"Of course not!"
"Good, very good!" With a satisfied smile, Francis threw a box towards Lilian's direction. She reachedout and caught it.
"What's this?"
"That is something that would destroy Harper! But I need your cooperation," Francis said while raisinghis eyebrow at her.
With a frown, Lilian asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"The thing inside the box is called Fantasy. It's specially made for women," Francis said with a smile.His gentle and innocent expression made him look more sinister. He licked his lips and continued, "Youneed to find a chance to light it in Harper's room, and I'll find a way to lure Rolando in there."
"Why do you want to lure him there?" Lilian asked, confusion written all over her face.
