Chapter 744 A Feeling Of Old Friends Being Reunited (Part Two)


    A strange emotion shed in the Holy Maiden''s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Even so, Harper


    still caught sight of it. Because of that, she felt curious and wondered if the Holy Maiden was happy to


    hear that she was married.


    "Your husband must treat you very well," the Holy Maiden said. The women in the South Kingdom were


    actually very open-minded. Many of them would go out to pick medicinal herbs to help support the


    family. Moreover, there were a lot of female shamans in the entire ce. They started to learn some


    poisoning skills since they were children. Such skills could not only hurt people, but save them from


    various diseases and conditions as well.


    The Holy Maiden closed her eyes and carefully sniffed her surroundings. "You have a faint smell of


    medicine. Are you a shaman?" she asked.

    "I''m afraid I can''t be called a shaman. I only like dealing with medicinal herbs. Some of them should be


    treated in various ways in order to preserve them very well. I have also been educated with medical


    effects by physicians, so that I can help my husband with our livelihood. As time goes by, it seems like


    my body has absorbed the smell of medicine," Harper lied without batting an eye.


    While listening to Harper, the Holy Maiden nodded her head. It seemed like she believed what Harper


    said. However, Harper couldn''t help but snicker because it was so easy to deceive her. She thought


    that the Holy Maiden was naive enough that if she left the South Kingdom, it was very likely for her to


    be caught by human traffickers.


    "How long are you going to stay in the capital?" the Holy Maiden curiously asked.


    "I wanted to leave when all the medicinal herbs that we brought are sold. But my husband said that we


    should wait until the Worship Ceremony is over," Harper answered with a simple smile. And just like


    that, the two women sat together while talking about everything for two hours.


    "How about you and your husbande to the Starry Pce as my guests? Let''s say, one of these


    days, before you leave the capital. Please let me entertain you to express my gratitude. What do you


    think?" Harper couldn''t count how many times she had been surprised that day. However, that invitation


    must be the most overwhelming of all.


    "Your Grace, the Starry Pce is a holy ce. How can we as normal citizens enter a ce like that? I


    have already seen you, and even got to sit with you and talk about a lot of things. I can say that I have


    no more regret in my life. My life is nowplete," Harper said while waving her hand continuously.


    But the Holy Maiden only handed a token to Harper. "Since I''ve invited you, it means that you can enter


    the pce. Besides, it''s not forbidden to enter the Starry Pce. The only ce where outsiders are


    not allowed to enter is the library inside of it."


    With the token in her hands, Harper looked very much ttered. "I see. In that case, thank you very


    much for this once in a lifetime invitation, Your Grace."


    "I think tomorrow is a good day. How abouting to the Starry Pce tomorrow? I''m honestly always


    so bored while staying there by myself. It will be really amazing if you can apany me. We can talk


    over tea, just like what we''re doing now," the Holy Maiden stated with confidence. She even ordered


    the keeper of the inn to escort Harper and her husband to the Starry Pce tomorrow.


    "Let me see you out," Harper said. While she led the Holy Maiden to the door, they happened to bump


    into Becky, who wasing back into the inn. Becky didn''t have any idea who the Holy Maiden was.


    But when she saw that Harper was with her instead of Matthew, who was always by Harper''s side,


    Becky instantly had an impulse to embarrass Harper.


    "What are you doing? Have you realized that it''s not good for you to be extremely jealous so you found


    a concubine for your husband? Are you doing this in order to make him love you more?" Becky taunted


    Harper with outrageous questions. She then looked at the face of the Holy Maiden and eximed,


    "What a very beautiful catch! Where did you find her? In a brothel?"


    "How dare you?!" Harper scolded her.


    p! As soon as Harper finished speaking, the Holy Maiden pped Becky right across her face. She


    did it so quickly that Becky wasn''t able to avoid it. While looking at the Holy Maiden in disbelief, Becky


    ced one hand on her cheek which had been pped. "How dare you hit me?! Do you know that I''m


    a distinguished guest of Princess Diana from the Bright Dynasty?"


    The Holy Maiden snorted before telling her, "Diana? Even if you''re a distinguished guest of the king of


    the South Kingdom, I still won''t hesitate to p you. Who do you think you are? How dare you act like a


    crazy person in front of me?! If you don''t understand the rules, I will teach you on behalf of the emperor


    of the Bright Dynasty!"


    Apparently, Becky hadn''t expected that the woman by Harper''s side would have a powerful influence.


    When she mentioned Diana, the woman didn''t show a bit of fear and even said that the king of the


    South Kingdom would be unable to protect her as well. Becky started to wonder who on earth she was.


    She then looked at Harper and turned her resentment at her. She thought to herself, ''Harper must have


    known her identity, but she didn''t even remind me. Instead, she deliberately made me provoke this


    person so as to embarrass me. What a vicious woman she is!''


    Becky couldn''t hold it any longer and asked, "Who are you then?"


    "This is the Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom," Harper introduced with a small smile.


    Becky''s face turned pale. She had never imagined that Harper would be associated with the Holy


    Maiden. Based on the casual and friendly atmosphere between the two, Becky figured that Harper and


    the Holy Maiden must have known each other for a long time. It baffled her because she had no idea


    about it. She then wondered how many more secrets Harper had which she didn''t know.


    "Your Grace, please forgive me. I didn''t mean to deliberately offend you. The woman by your side is


    vicious and jealous. Every woman who gets remotely close to her husband will end up miserable.


    When I saw a beautiful female standing by her side, I misunderstood the situation. Please forgive me


    once again, Holy Maiden."


    Perplexed, the Holy Maiden looked at Harper and asked, "Jealous?"


    "Yes, I actually get jealous very easily. I require my husband not to marry any other woman in his


    lifetime. No woman except me could be by his side," Harper frankly admitted.


    With a smile of admiration on her face, the Holy Maiden said, "You want to be married to a faithful man


    and spend your entire life with him in happiness. I do respect your courage. You muste to the


    Starry Pce tomorrow. Let''s have a good chat then."


    "Okay, I will," Harper replied, returning the smile.
