Chapter 790 Secret n (Part Two)


    Harper smiled and replied, "Yes that is how it is in most of the cases. Men are used to treating their


    wives that way. When they are happy, they spoil their wives, but when they are angry, they treat their


    wives indifferently. Then, why is it considered wrong if a woman behaves in the same manner? Since


    you want a wife who should be an equal partner, my temperament and personality should also match


    with yours. Otherwise, how will I be a suitable ally to my handsome and unparalleled husband?"


    "Now, that sounds good. Rather, I should say, that sounds much better than the sweet words you said


    to me in the past," Matthew said. He kissed her hair and held her closer to his chest.


    Hearing that, Harper smiled happily. She remembered that she was asked to say "something nice" to


    her husband. And she tricked him by saying "something nice" repeatedly, but she gave up on it very


    soon.


    "If you like to hear nice words, I will say them to you every day. I promise the nice words will be


    different each day and you will never get bored of them." Harper chuckled, rubbing her nose on


    Matthew''s chest.


    "All kinds of ''something nice''?" Matthew asked as he lifted Harper''s face to nce into her beautiful


    eyes.


    "You are so smart!" Harper remarked. Of course, she would just repeat the "something nice" to him. It


    would give her a headache if she had to think of new nice words to praise him every day. No matter


    how unique she tried to be, allplimentary words would be used up sooner orter.


    "And how cunning you are!" Matthew pointed at the forehead of Harper. "You are yet to tell me how you


    managed to cross the Labyrinth Swamp. Will you tell me now?"


    "It was easy. I used this," Harper said in her usual nonchnce and took out the Sacred Seal. It was


    the same seal that she had taken from the library of the South Kingdom. "This seal saved my life even


    when the library copsed."


    Matthew watched with his eyes wide open as Harper continued, "This looks like any other jade


    pendant. Is it very powerful?"


    "It can open an enchantment barrier," Harper added. She went on to demonstrate the power of the


    Sacred Seal to Matthew. As soon as the spiritual energy was put into the Sacred Seal, there was a


    sudden emission of a soft light that kind of wrapped around the couple. Matthew watched the soft light


    with awe in his eyes.


    "Is this also a secret skill of the Qin n?" Matthew asked.


    "I don''t know, but since I am able to use it, it means that it has something to do with the Qin n. But


    we know too little about the Qin n," Harper remarked. She let out a sigh and continued, "The more I


    know about this Sacred Seal, the more I feel that the destruction of the Qin n is not that simple. As


    they were really powerful, how could they be easily ughtered?"


    "No matter how powerful they were, they were bound to have some weakness," Matthew said in a


    suggestive tone. "Don''t get too worked up with this. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes


    you''ll make. Take your time, and the truth will be revealed sooner orter."


    "Yes, you are right." Harper nodded. "Do you know why I entered the Labyrinth Swamp?"


    "I am sure you must have been forced into it," Matthew said decisively. He believed it must have been


    a helpless situation for Harper that made her enter the Labyrinth Swamp. She would never go there out


    of choice. After all, she was not a fool. She knew how dangerous it was.


    A gleam of shimmer flickered in Harper''s eyes. "I was attacked by Catherine, the Holy Maiden. At that


    time, I had no other choice but to enter the Labyrinth Swamp."


    "The Holy Maiden?" Matthew furrowed his brows as he vaguely remembered being encountered by a


    woman when he went to the South Kingdom in search of Harper. That woman even tried to stop him


    from going close to the Labyrinth Swamp. But he didn''t notice her. At that time, his only concern was to


    find Harper.


    "Well, I had always underestimated this Holy Maiden. I just thought she had the same hobbies as me,


    but I didn''t expect her to be so scheming." A stiff frown settled on Harper''s forehead as she spoke


    about Catherine. Harper then thought of how ruthless Catherine was. Thetter didn''t hesitate even for


    once before hurling a death stroke to her own sister Diana. She was indeed more vicious than Harper''s


    half-sister Hailey.


    Matthew brushed it aside and said without much interest, "Well, I can''t remember meeting such a


    person. And even if I met her, I did not pay attention to her."


    "Have you ever been to the South Kingdom before?" Harper asked curiously. Suddenly, a possibility


    urred to Harper.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Matthew nodded and replied, "Yes. I went to the South Kingdom ten years ago. The former emperor


    asked me to take the Sacred Seal of the South Kingdom. Unfortunately, although I entered the library, I


    could not break through the security mechanism of the library. I ended up getting hurt and couldn''t get


    the Sacred Seal. From then on, I have never entered the library."


    "Did you happen to meet Catherine when you went to the library back then?" Harper probed.


    Matthew scrunched his forehead and thought carefully but failed to recollect anything significant from


    that time. "No, I don''t remember seeing any girl even at that time. And even if I met her before, I didn''t


    care to remember. Obviously, who would care about a person we have met only once?"


    "Oh! She is quite a beauty! Certainly not the type to be forgotten so easily!" Harper remarked.


    "The Holy Maiden of the South Kingdom was just a teenager ten years ago. Who knows whether she


    will be beautiful or not?" Matthew snorted. "And even if she is a drop-dead gorgeous, haven''t I seen


    enough beauties in my life? What''s the big deal about her?"


    Harper felt sorry for the Holy Maiden as thetter had a huge crush on Matthew. She recalled how


    Catherine tried to break the ice with her. At the very beginning, she had worn in clothes and


    appeared in front of the tavern that the couple lived. Slowly, she starteding to Harper and became


    pally with her. Later, she invited her to the Starry Pce. Her only aim was Matthew. But since Matthew


    had no impression on her at that time, Harper didn''t realize such a secret crush at all.


    "It will be an interesting trip to the South Kingdom this time." A trace of excitement shed in Harper''s


    eyes. "Darling, you can ask someone to take Diana back to the South Kingdom secretly. I believe


    Lance must be very d to see his precious daughter alive."


    "Speaking of Diana, I have a question. Since when are you being so close to her? I even heard her


    calling you master," Matthew asked. He didn''t know much about Diana, but he could sense that she


    was an extremely cunning opportunist.


    "Well, all thanks to the Labyrinth Swamp. While I was dealing with the challenges in Swamp, she got a


    clear view of my powerful strength. She was so impressed by my strength that she wanted to be my


    disciple. Since then, she has been calling me master. But I haven''t agreed to ept her as my disciple


    yet," Harper answered casually. "I just saved her from danger as I did for the others."


    Matthew nodded as he got the rity of the matter. He suggested, "Darling, it''s a good idea to take her


    as your disciple. We can help her to climb up to a high position so that the South Kingdom and the


    Bright Dynasty can form a temporary alliance," Matthew added slowly. "Even if the peace will be short-


    lived, it is still worth it."


    "Okay, so be it," agreed Harper.
