Chapter 793 The Father And Daughter Met (Part One)
Due to the imperial capital''s high security, Howard and the rest could not enter. Naturally, they turned to
Diana for help. She was the princess of the South Kingdom, after all. She had grown up here, so
Howard believed she must be aware of some secret passage to get into the capital.
"Why are you looking at me? I don''t know what to do now either." Diana shrugged. She had been busy
in her time here, spending every day here either practicing martial arts skills or fighting with Catherine.
When she wasn''t doing that, she would hang out with the men. So she had no time to think about
anything else.
"Don''t tell me you are a mere figurehead and don''t know anything about your kingdom''s secret
passages," Howard said. In his opinion, there was no way this cunning woman wouldn''t have a back-up
n ready.
Diana gave another shrug. "Of course, I am not a figurehead. It''s not impossible to break into the city.
And we can''t just walk in with everyone watching. We must find a way to go unnoticed, otherwise, we''ll
be found out."
"Do you want to go into the city on your own?" Howard asked in confusion.
Looking at the towering walls, Diana said, "I have to get into the Imperial Pce to confirm that my
father is safe. If what my master said is true, that Catherine will kill my father, then he must be in
danger. I must check on him."
"What if he''s already dead?" Howard asked.
"No! My father is still alive! Don''t talk nonsense," Diana stated affirmatively. "Catherine wants to im
the throne. There are only two ways that could happen. The first is for my father to issue an imperial
edict iming that she would seed to the throne. The second is for her to get the South Kingdom''s
imperial jade seal. However, the seal is in my hand now. Therefore, her only option is to get an imperial
edict out of my father. Until my father writes it, he''s safe. But I suspect that she must have tortured
him."
Upon hearing that, Howard frowned and said, "I won''t let you go in there alone. Harper asked me to
keep an eye on you."
Diana red at Howard impatiently, saying, "Well, do whatever pleases you. If you want to follow me,
just follow."
The Imperial Pce was not that heavily guarded. That was probably due to Catherine believing that
both Harper and Diana had already died. Those who entered the Labyrinth Swamp didn''t have the
slightest chance of living.
After Diana sessfully made her way into the pce, she was relieved to find the guards sox. "The
guards are cking. That''s in our favor."
"Maybe it never urred to Catherine that you could survive. She would have had the entire pce
under lockdown if she had suspected for a second that you were alive. It would have been so heavily
guarded that even a fly would not have been able to get in," Howard sneered, "So you should thank
Harper for getting you out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive!"
Diana, however, merely nced at him with contempt. "Shut up. Harper, Harper, Harper! Please, don''t
talk like you''re close! She is my master now. Oh, one more thing, you are not even her biological
brother. Why are you acting so proud?"
"Don''t you want to see your father?" Howard threatened as he narrowed his eyes with displeasure. He
wasn''t beyond pushing her out of hiding if she continued her insolence.

Diana could only grit her teeth. She replied viciously, "Shame on you! How dare you bully me like this!
After everything is over in the South Kingdom, I will surely..."
"What will you surely do after everything is settled here?" Howard asked threateningly.
"I will surely pay you back for your help!" Diana said with a smile. She was the type to acknowledge the
facts of the situation and react ordingly. She learned this from Harper. Whenever she was in a
critical situation, she would stand back and y nice. Diana would square ounts with Howard once
her stance improved.
Howard looked at her with suspicion. He knew she wasn''t being honest, but it wouldn''t serve him to
fight her now. "I will stand guard outside the room. You can go inside to see your father now. But be
quick!"
"Okay."
Because Diana disguised herself as an Imperial Pce maid, no one recognized her. Catherine
wouldn''te to torture Lance during the day. So Diana thankfully didn''t face any problem entering the
pce.
There were two guards standing at the gate of the pce where Lance lived. With a slight move of her
fingertips, they fell to the ground and passed out. After she entered the room, she put the medicine
bowl she was holding down on the table and rushed to the bedside. "Father, Father, I am Diana.
Father," she called in a low voice.
Hearing someone call him, Lance attempted to open his eyes. But he couldn''t recognize the face in
front of him. Yet, the voice was very familiar. He asked with uncertainty, "Diana?"
"Yes, Father, it''s me, Diana. I get out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive. In fact, it wasn''t only me who made
it out, but everyone that had entered the Labyrinth Swamp is alive," Diana said tedly. "Father, how
are you doing? Is Catherine torturing you?"
Lance touched his daughter''s face tentatively, unable to believe that someone hade out of the
Labyrinth Swamp alive. "How did you get out?" he asked.
"Harper led us out," Diana said excitedly. "She took us out by using the Holy Article of our kingdom. It
was the only way to avoid being attacked. Father, there shouldn''t be any conflict between the South
Kingdom and the Bright Dynasty anymore!"
Now Lance was certain that the girl in front of him was indeed his daughter. "Catherine wants to
be the South Kingdom''s queen and marry Matthew, with the entire South Kingdom as her dowry."
"What? No way! That''s absurd!" Diana refuted back immediately. "Matthew would never fall for any
other woman as long as Harper is still alive. That woman is terrible. Father, you know what? Harper
never relies on Matthew. She is almost as powerful as him!"
