Chapter 748 What It Meant To Be A Sister (Part One)


    Harper followed the Holy Maiden as they entered the Starry Pce. While they were walking, she was


    very impressed by the ce''syout. The Holy Maiden merely smiled in a nonchnt way, but she


    seemed to be more like a human beingpared to thest time when Harper saw her. She was


    walking with Harper side by side while she introduced the ce using a soft voice. asionally, she


    would tell some interesting stories about the South Kingdom. Harper found all of them very interesting.


    "What is that ce?" Harper asked out of the blue while she pointed to a building with a round roof


    located at the center of the Starry Pce. It stood out to her because it seemed like the whole pce


    encircled it, as if the entire ce had been built around it. But what was strange about it was that it


    didn''t have a door.


    Upon hearing her question, the Holy Maiden changed her expression for a second. Then she said in a


    gentle voice, "It''s the library of the Starry Pce. Arge number of the South Kingdom''s precious


    books are carefully ced in there."


    "Ah, I see. That''s very impressive. But why doesn''t it have a door? Without any door, how could people


    go inside? Is it through the wall? If that was the case, then people would have a bleeding head every


    time they would go in." Harper asked some more questions. She was very curious about it.


    Her assumptions made the Holy Maidenugh. She shook her head and responded, "It''s not that it


    doesn''t have a door. There''s a door leading into the library. But it would only open when I and a


    member of the royal family need to go inside."


    "May I go inside it?" Harper innocently asked while she pointed at herself.


    The Holy Maiden shook her head in response. "Unfortunately, you can''t go inside. The library is the


    most sacred ce in the South Kingdom. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. If anyone forces


    themselves into the library, I''m afraid it will just backfire on them."


    "Backfire? What does the ''backfire'' refer to?" Harper was so surprised that her eyes immediately went


    wide.


    "It''s like some sort of punishment directly from heaven. Fire and thunder will fall from heaven to punish


    those who are disrespectful to the library," the Holy Maiden said slowly.


    However, Harper merely shrugged her shoulders and did not take it seriously. "I''m just curious. Don''t


    worry. I won''t force my way inside. Actually, I don''t even think I''m capable of doing so. After all, how


    could I do it when there is no door?"


    The Holy Maiden grinned with one of her hands covering her mouth. After a few seconds, she then


    said, "I already told you, there is a door indeed. It''s just that outsiders don''t know where it is. Well,


    you''re free to visit every corner and room inside the Starry Pce except for the library."


    "Okay, I''ll keep that in mind," Harper replied. She then held the Holy Maiden''s hand as they continued


    to go forward, as if the library was just an inconspicuous ce that she could forget at any time.

    Meanwhile, Matthew was casually following them from behind. He took a nce at the library with


    thoughts about the hidden door. To be more precise, it was more than just hidden—it was the most


    well-kept secret of the entire kingdom. Except for the Holy Maiden, no one could open the door and no


    one knew how to open it. That he had activated the mechanism to open the library earlier should be a


    mere coincidence.


    The Holy Maiden noticed from the corner of her eye that Matthew was looking at the library with very


    intense and careful eyes. She didn''t react that much but simply smiled instead. She was well aware of


    how difficult it would be to open the door of that ce. If anyone wanted to break into the library by


    force, the library would be ruined. All the things inside of it were extremely precious. She thought that


    nobody would be so stupid and cruel as to destroy the library.


    After they had been wandering around for quite some time, a guard suddenly came. He then reported,


    "Your Grace, Her Highness is here. She''s waiting for you in the front hall."


    When she heard this, the Holy Maiden let out a helpless sigh. "She hasn''t given up after all these


    years, still being so stubborn."


    "Her Highness? Is it Princess Diana, if I may ask?" Harper asked with the utmost interest.


    "Yes, it''s her. Who else would consider the Starry Pce to be a food market where she could pay a


    visit any time as long as she likes it?" the Holy Maiden replied in aplicated tone. It seemed like she


    was irritated but at the same time, helpless that she was about to deal with Diana.


    "I have to meet her. You guys can wander the ce from here on. Make yourselves at home, please. I''ll


    come back and see youter," the Holy Maiden said. After that, she turned around and flew away


    elegantly. Harper turned her gaze from her receding figure to Matthew.


    "What do you think of it?" Harper asked with eagerness in her eyes.


    "I think those two have a deep connection," Matthew casually stated with a hint of sarcasm.


    "I meant the library!" Harper reminded him in a helpless tone. The door of the library needed to be


    opened with some secret method. That was why she asked his opinion about it.


    "Besides the Holy Maiden, no one can open the door of the library. Even when members of the royal


    family of the South Kingdom need to enter the library, they would still need the Holy Maiden to open the


    door for them," Matthewmented with a frown on his face.


    "It''s just like the Secret Pavilion of the Bright Dynasty that can be opened only by the chief guard,


    right?" Harper asked with confusion.


    At her words, Matthew recalled that the door of the Secret Pavilion would just automatically open


    whenever Harper would demand to go inside. At that moment, he didn''t know how to answer her. If he


    gave her an affirmative reply, then he could not exin why she was able to go inside the Secret


    Pavilion so easily. If he gave her a negative reply, he was afraid that she would take the risk of opening


    the door in person. He had firsthand experience with the various gears in the library so he clearly knew


    how dangerous they were. He wouldn''t risk the possibility of Harper trying to open the door and getting


    hurt in the process.


    "Leave it to me. I''ll try to find a way inside. Don''t worry. I will take care of it for you," Matthew answered


    in a calm tone after thinking about it in silence for a while.


    "Thanks, honey. Well, let''s go to the front hall to watch a good show," Harper then suggested with an


    impish smile on her face. Matthew knocked her head softly but returned a doting smile. Harper merely


    tucked her tongue out in response. Hand in hand, they made their way towards the front hall.


    A few moments before, Diana was sitting on the main seat in the front hall. Her legs were crossed as


    she sat idly. The Holy Maiden entered the hall and looked at her from a distance. Then, she shifted her


    focus to the main seat. With a wave of her hand, Diana was forced to leave the main seat. To be more


    exact, she almost fell to the ground. Now, she looked like a mess.


    "Catherine, why did you even do that?" Diana eximed in rage.
