Chapter 855 A Spectacr Fight Scene (Part One)


    "Your Highness." Daisy hurried to Lilian''s side to support her. For many years, she had been working


    alongside Lilian as her personal maid and had even followed her all the way to the Great Jade


    Kingdom. "Are you going out to take a walk?" she asked.


    Lilian''s eyes were affixed on the two people who were walking side by side. Though she didn''t want to


    admit it to herself, she felt that they looked like a perfect match made by heaven. "Daisy, do you think


    that His Majesty has been very happy recently and smiled more than ever before?" she asked.


    Frowning, Daisy answered, "Your Highness, I just feel that His Majesty treats Lady Harper very well."


    "They are friends. His Majesty has even saved Lady Harper''s life when he was in the Bright Dynasty.


    They have already been on good terms since then," Lilian exined with a smile. Every time that


    memory crossed her mind, she would remember how ridiculously she acted and how Rndo forbade


    her from entering the imperial monk''s mansion. Because of that, she would use all kinds of excuses to


    lure Harper to go to the said mansion, since she was the only one who could enter without obtaining


    any kind of permission from Rndo in advance.


    "Your Highness, what I meant to say is that the way His Majesty treats Lady Harper is vastly different


    from the way he treats anybody else!" Daisy said, implying that she perceived the situation in a


    scandalous way. A while ago, she had observed that all the food Rndo had picked for Harper was


    her favorite, but the food he had picked for Lilian was not necessarily what she liked eating. She also


    noted how Rndo had eaten everything Harper had picked for him with a smile on his face regardless


    of whether he liked it or not, but he seemed rather reluctant to eat the food Lilian had picked for him.


    When she heard what Daisy said, Lilian''s eyes darkened. Of course she knew that Rndo treated


    Harper differently—he took Harper as a confidant, someone who knew him best, while Lilian, on the


    other hand, didn''t know him at all. But what was bothering her was how Harper seemed to still be the


    most special person in his eyes. She would have understood if they were still in the Bright Dynasty, but


    even in here? Every time she was around Rndo and Harper, she always felt like she was an


    outsider. Before all of these thoughts took hold of her brain, Lilian shook her head to stop herself from


    thinking. ''Harper is Uncle Matthew''s wife, and she is just a good friend to Rndo,'' she thought to


    herself inwardly, trying to calm herself down.


    When Matthew received the news that Harper had already arrived in the Great Jade Kingdom, his face


    became sullen. Instead of feeling relieved, he felt like a violent storm was brewing inside him, ready to


    devastate everything in its way. Barry immediately noticed this and made it a point to stay away from


    him in order to avoid any possible danger. They had set out from the imperial capital of the Bright


    Dynasty seven days earlier than Harper, but why did she arrive earlier than them?


    What did that mean? It meant that someone had deliberately slowed Matthew and his crew down but at


    the same time cleared every obstacle for Harper so that she would arrive earlier in the Great Jade


    Kingdom. What was the purpose of the person who did that? To Matthew, it was clear as day.


    "Rndo!" he eximed, striking the tree next to him to vent his anger out. The mere power present in


    his palm made the tall tree crumble to little pieces. How dared Rndo conspire against him, and


    worse, treat his wife as if she was his special someone? He would never forgive him!

    "Your Highness, the twelve secret guards are with Her Highness. She will be fine," Ken said after letting


    Matthew simmer for a while. He came back to Matthew''s side after Lucas ascended the throne and


    became the new emperor.


    "You don''t understand what Rndo is doing!" bellowed Matthew, gritting his teeth. As old enemies, he


    and Rndo had a lot inmon in many aspects, one of which was, of course, their taste in women.


    The moment Rndo sacrificed his arm to save Harper from danger, Matthew knew that he was up to


    no good. What was worse was at that time, the rtionship between him and Harper was not exactly


    stable. He would always quarrel with her and would force her to make her feelings for him clear. Now


    that Harper had arrived in the Great Jade Kingdom, he was sure that Rndo would try his best to


    seduce Harper while he was absent.


    "I''ll go ahead of the team. Disguise someone as me and let him stay here," he ordered.


    "Yes, Your Highness."


    When Matthew was told that Rndo had brought Harper into his pce, Matthew felt unbearably


    uneasy. It was not because he didn''t trust Harper—it was because he didn''t trust Rndo one bit.


    While the security he felt about Harper''s loyalty to him was unwavering, he still felt on the fence


    because of Rndo''s cunning nature. He was afraid that Rndo would do something uneptable to


    him and to Harper, and so he dared not just wait and see. There was no way he would let him do


    whatever he wanted.


    Harper initially thought that Rndo wanted to show her around in the pce. To her surprise,


    however, Rndo took her out of the pce. "Didn''t you say you were just going to show me around


    the pce? Why are we leaving and where are we going?"


    With a smile, Rndo exined, "You really think I''ll bore you like that? You will be residing in the


    pce for a few days, so you have all the time in the world to look around. Today, I''ll take you to walk


    around the capital city of my kingdom. I''ll show you a drastically different lifestyle aspared with the


    imperial capital of the Bright Dynasty."


    Harper suddenly chuckled. "For all I know, you''re just doing this because you''ve grown tired of


    reviewing the reports from the courtiers. You''re literally using me as an excuse to loaf on your job!"


    "Harper, you never cease to amaze me. Yes, you have guessed it right," Rndo admitted,ughing.


    His expression suddenly became soft and sentimental. "I haven''t had the chance to walk around the


    streets of the capital city ever since I took the throne and became the emperor. Now that I finally have


    the chance, of course, I muste out for a walk."


    "I really think that a leader should do that every once in a while. I mean, as the emperor of a country,


    how will you get to know your people and their livelihood without meeting them and experiencing their


    life personally?" Harper said,mending his decision. "Rndo, is there any brothel here?" she then


    inquired.


    Rndo''s expression froze because of what could only be recognized as shock mixed with fear. "Yes,


    but there is no way I''m taking you there. I''m afraid Matthew would hunt me down with his sword if that


    news ever reached him."


    Harper couldn''t help but burst outughing. "No! That''s not what I meant. I was just asking!"


    "But still, if you want to go there, I will not let you," Rndo responded, his eyes still wide. The carriage


    then stopped, signaling that they had already arrived at their destination. An attendant then opened the


    door for them and Rndo took the lead in getting off their vehicle. "Here we are," Rndo said,


    offering his hand to Harper to help her get off safely.
