Chapter 866 The Siblings Teamed Up (Part Two)
"With that thing, Rolando and Harper could never be together again. My silly sister, I'm sure you knowthat Harper and Uncle Matthew have an intimate relationship. They're married, after all. So picture this,Harper taking the initiative in tempting Rolando to have sex with her. Even when her consciousness isa little hazy, Rolando might go along with it anyway. What do you think Uncle Matthew will do? What doyou think Harper will do?"
"Rolando will never do that!"
Francis pinched Lilian's chin and said, "Lilian, you clearly don't know men that well! A man will alwayslose control of himself in front of the one he loves, even someone like Rolando. However, it's up to youif you want to go with this the plan or not. I just have to remind you that if you just sit here and wait untilRolando successfully wins Harper's heart, you'll eventually be sorry since you had the chance ofpreventing them from being together."
After that, Francis left the room, but what he had said made a big impression on Lilian. Harper was stilloblivious about Rolando's feelings for her, but it was true that she and Rolando had become closefriends and they were comfortable together. Lilian believed that if Rolando kept pursuing her little bylittle, there was no doubt that Harper would eventually fall in love with him sooner rather than later.
"No! No! She can't do that! Rolando belongs to me!" Lilian couldn't help but scream out loud.
Meanwhile, Rolando went back to the Dragon Palace as soon as he left the Bliss Palace. Heimmediately soaked himself in the bathtub because he didn't really want to do anything else. "YourMajesty, you've been bathing for an hour. It's time," Lord Sean anxiously said.
"Get out," Rolando firmly responded.
Sean was so anxious that he stamped his feet. He turned around and yelled at Dan, "Hurry up! Go andget Lady Harper!"
"If anyone dares to disturb her, I'll break his legs!" Rolando ordered sternly. Sean's eyelids twitchedwhen he heard Rolando's words. He waved his hand and let Dan go.
Sitting in the bathtub alone, Rolando had a gloomy expression on his face. He had actually beenthinking about what Lilian had said to him. Was he really treating Harper in a very special way? Was ittrue that he had been in love with her for a long time?
"Sean," he called out.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What did I look like when I was with Harper?" Rolando asked in a low voice.
Sean paused for a few seconds before he cautiously began to reply, "I've never seen Your Majesty sohappy with anyone else. You seem to really enjoy your time with Lady Harper."
"Was I that happy?" Rolando scooped up handfuls of water and watched it slipped from his fingers. "Iactually do feel very happy every time I see her. And when I can't see her, I feel very lonely. I —"
Rolando stood up from the bathtub all of the sudden, the water splashing all over the ground. Matthewwould arrive very soon so he had to get everything ready. "Get changed," Rolando briefly commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sean didn't care what Rolando was going to do as long as he left the bathtub.After putting on his clothes, Rolando began reading the files from the ministers. As Sean watched theemperor, the corner of his lip twitched. He had thought Rolando was going to see Lady Harper, but tohis surprise, Rolando had chosen to read some important documents.
Meanwhile, Matthew finally arrived outside of the city. However, it was already late at night so it wasn'teasy to enter the city. Not to mention that Rolando had arranged a lot of people on Matthew's way to
stop him. So even though Matthew had been really careful, he had encountered numerous troubles onthe way.
"Your Highness." A man's voice was heard in the darkness. Matthew tilted his head a little to look at thecity wall. A man was waving at him. His figure was very strange and it seemed like something waswrong with his head.
Matthew looked at the figure calmly and soon realized that it was a Zorro. Matthew approached him,finally able to see the man's face very clearly. There was a little thing standing on Zorro's head. Nowonder Matthew felt there was something wrong with his head. "Why are you not following Harper?"
Zorro thought Matthew was asking him so he replied, "Emperor Rolando is vigilant about us so we can'tenter the Imperial Palace."
In fact, Matthew's eyes were focused on Patrick who was standing on Zorro's head. The creaturefolded its arms across its chest, glared at him, and began to talk. Patrick was so excited that hetrampled on Zorro's head in a very furious way, quite a few times.novelbin
Even before they met up with Matthew, Zorro hated having Patrick on top of his head, but he had nochoice. Patrick was so powerful. If he refused, the creature would make them suffer a lot. In addition,Patrick was Harper's favorite pet and since it was a powerful beast from the Labyrinth Swamp, theydidn't dare to pick on it.
"You mean, Harper asked you to find me and you're not allowed to go back to her if you can't do so?"Matthew asked. He reached out and grabbed Patrick from Zorro's head. He held it in his arms andstarted to rub its head violently. "But did you just call me an idiot? Who are you calling an idiot huh?"
Zorro stared at Matthew in admiration. All this time, he had thought Harper could understand whatPatrick was saying because she was its master. He couldn't believe that even Matthew could
comprehend what Patrick was saying as well. It seemed like the old saying was true—One who staysnear vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black.
"Your Highness, do you understand what Patrick is saying?"
"I don't. But I can read its expression, especially when it glared at me with a smug look. I really want tobeat it up, to be honest," Matthew said with a grin.
Pretending that it could not understand what Matthew was talking about, Patrick refused to admit that ithad scolded him. The creature knew that it was no match for Matthew, so it decided it was going to tellthe man off when it saw Harper.
