Chapter 743 A Feeling Of Old Friends Being Reunited (Part One)


    In order to confirm if the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom really came to the inn for her, Harper


    decided to go downstairs and have a look. When she came out of her room, it so happened that she


    saw the keeper of the inn carefully making a pot of tea. It was a high-end tea set so Harper assumed


    that it was going to be served to the Holy Maiden.


    The moment Harper appeared at the staircase, the Holy Maiden became aware of her presence. She


    poured a cup of tea by herself and pushed it to the opposite side of the table. While looking at Harper,


    she asked, "Would you like a cup of tea?"


    Her words took Harper by surprise. At that point, Harper was certain that the Holy Maiden really came


    for her. But as far as she could remember, she hadn''t had any contact with her. So she couldn''t figure


    out why the respected maiden would invite her to have some tea.


    Despite how stunned she was by the unexpected invitation from the Holy Maiden, Harper took thest


    few steps of the stairs withposure and sat down opposite her at the table. Then, she picked up the


    teacup and drank the tea in one gulp. "Thanks for the tea, Your Grace."


    The keeper and the waiters were so shocked that their faces turned deathly pale, as if it was kind of


    offensive to sit down and drink tea with the Holy Maiden. The keeper opened his mouth several times,


    with the intention of saying something to remind Harper, but he gave up eventually. He was afraid that it


    might be too presumptuous for him to say anything when the Holy Maiden didn''t seem to mind Harper''s


    behaviors. He was trying so hard to control himself that he even blushed with embarrassment.


    In fact, the Holy Maiden noticed how ufortable the members of the staff were. However, she


    simply smiled and poured more tea to Harper''s cup. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you. I


    concealed my identity when I went out yesterday. To my surprise, I was harassed by a pervert. If you


    hadn''t stood out and helped me, I don''t know how I would have dealt with that matter."


    "You..." Harper murmured in shock while pointing at the Holy Maiden with her finger. It took her a short


    while before she could say anything more. "You''re thedy with the veil who looked like a fairy


    yesterday!"


    The Holy Maiden chuckled behind her hand because of how Harper described her. "Yes, I am thedy


    with the veil who was harassed yesterday."


    The keeper was petrified by what the Holy Maiden said. He wondered who could be so bold as to


    disrespect the Holy Maiden. He believed that the man who did that had been courting death. The


    keeper then stared at the Holy Maiden. When he saw that she didn''t seem upset with Harper''s


    impoliteness, he breathed a sigh of relief.

    "You can leave now. We don''t need anyone to serve us here," the Holy Maiden said.


    "Certainly, we''re taking our leave now," the keeper said while immediately retreating from the room.


    With the smile still on her face, the Holy Maiden stared at Harper carefully. "Whenever I look at you, I


    can''t help but feel like I''ve already met you before. I wonder if this feeling is the same as when old


    friends reunited after not seeing each other for a very long time."


    "Your Grace, I''m most ttered that you feel like I''m an old friend of yours," Harper said with a bright


    and sincere smile on her face.


    The Holy Maiden''s eyes shined even more at that. "I don''t know why but I genuinely feel so happy to


    see you."


    "It''s the same with me. Your Grace, I didn''t expect that you would be such an amiable and carefree


    person. Now that I know it was you who I met yesterday, I feel a little foolish. It was like I taught a fish


    how to swim. Please excuse me," Harper said with a little embarrassment. How could she intervene


    and try to rescue such a powerful person like the Holy Maiden? For certain, she was more than


    capable of doing something and defending herself.


    However, the Holy Maiden smiled a little, then responded, "Actually, you helped me a lot. It was the first


    time that something like that happened to me, so I didn''t know how to deal with it. If you hadn''t shown


    up, I might have been taken advantage of by that rogue."


    Harper smiled, "I heard a lot of people say that the Holy Maiden is the most rigid person in the world.


    But now that I''ve met you in person, I realize that they couldn''t be more wrong. You''re not rigid at all. In


    fact, you''re quite carefree. I honestly feel veryfortable while talking to you."


    A bigger smile appeared on the fairy-like face of the Holy Maiden. She replied, "I have been the Holy


    Maiden for many years. Everyone treats me with great respect, but all of them are very cautious and


    nervous in front of me. However, you are the only exception. You don''t seem to be afraid of me at all. It


    makes me so happy to be able to converse with someone like you."


    The smile in Harper''s eyes became brighter while she listened to the Holy Maiden. "You''re so beautiful


    and kind, Your Grace. Why are people afraid of you? I don''t think you''re scary at all."


    A touch of sadness shed across the Holy Maiden''s eyes after she heard what Harper said. Most of


    the people in the South Kingdom weren''t afraid of her, but they didn''t dare to get close or even speak to


    her. If she said a few words to them, they would be too excited that they wouldn''t be able to sleep for


    several days. Because of this, she grew up lonely, with no one to talk to and even y with. Ever since


    she was a child, she was alone in the vast Starry Pce. She didn''t have any friend or rtive. From


    the day she became the Holy Maiden, she had to say goodbye to everyone she had ever known and


    be the indifferent Holy Maiden without any personal feeling.


    Harper noticed that the Holy Maiden was suddenly lost in her thoughts so she chose not to interrupt


    her. Matthew had told her some information about the Holy Maiden before. So deep in her heart,


    Harper felt so much empathy for her. The Holy Maiden was separated from her parents ever since she


    was a child. So every single time that there was a festival or an asion, she was alone at the Starry


    Pce while everyone else was meeting up with their family and friends. While everyone was enjoying


    a happy time, she might have been destely weeping in loneliness. While other children were ying


    games, she was improving her poisoning skills. When other children had grown up, got married, and


    had children, she was still by herself in that pce because the Holy Maiden must remain a virgin.


    "Are you married?" the Holy Maiden asked all of a sudden.


    Nodding her head, Harper answered, "Yes, I''m married. My husband is very kind, and he allows me to


    be myself. He''s a merchant who specializes in medical supplies trading. Sometimes, he would bring


    me along when hees here to sell our products."
