Chapter 862 The Late Night Visit (Part Two)


    With that, Rndo left. Toby was left stunned. He could not move any muscle in his body. He just


    silently stood there for a long time before he packed his things and walked out of his cell. Since he was


    given a chance to live, he certainly would not waste it doing immoral deeds. ''Rndo, I will prove to


    you that letting me live is the best decision you''ve ever made!'' he swore inwardly.


    When Rndo returned to the pce, Harper was about to rest. Upon seeing Rndo, she smiled at


    him softly. "Everything already settled?"


    "I thought you would be angry at me for taking advantage of you," Rndo said, his stance rxed and


    his smile profound. "I felt relieved all of a sudden when you asked me such a question."


    Seeing that Rndo was still standing by the door, Harper invited him in and asked, "Would you like a


    cup of warm tea?"


    Rndo nodded and came in. "Am I interrupting you?" he asked, suddenly noticing that Harper was


    apparently about to go to bed.


    "It''s all right. What kind of tea would you like to drink?" Harper asked. She promptly walked to the


    cab and found a variety of tea leaves, which she didn''t expect. "Did you stock up on tea leaves for


    my visit?" she asked, surprised.


    "Not really. They''re always filled to the brim. But I may have asked some servants to bring in the best


    ones so that you won''t be disappointed in our selection," Rndo replied.


    "It''s really good to be an emperor, huh? You can do whatever you want," Harpermented, though


    she really wasn''t thinking it. She then took a pot, filled it with leaves of her liking, and asked her maid to


    bring in a small stove so that she could make tea.


    "You know what goes well with tea? Music," Rndo said as heid his eyes on the desk where a


    zither was located. "We were awfully disturbed when on that boat trip, weren''t we? I was just beginning


    to enjoy the beautiful scenery of theke, as well as the music, when those thugs came. But since


    you''re making tea, I guess it''s time for me to y the zither."


    "Okay. The tea should be ready after you finish one melody," Harper replied with a warm smile as she


    put on the pot above the stove.


    Rndo picked the zither up, sat down, and with his fingers as white as jade, he gently pulled on the


    strings. Instantly, hauntingly beautiful music filled the room.


    As the notes came out one after another, magic seemed to take a hold of everyone, creating a peaceful


    haven in the middle of the darkness.


    Sean stood outside the door, motionless and silently, while Dan kept looking inside. Sean then warned


    him in a serious voice, "Don''t look around."


    "Master, it''s not the first time I''ve heard His Majesty y the zither. He used to y it very often back


    when he was alone at the Harmony Pce. Back then, however, whatever he yed sounded lonely.


    This one is very happy. I''m starting to feel happiness just by listening to it," Dan said as if he was in a


    state of intoxication. It was as if the music was alcohol.


    Sean took a nce at Rndo, who was focused on ying the zither, and then told Dan, "His Majesty


    is in a good mood. You''re right. He usually ys pieces that are sad. But today''s is different. He''s


    happy."


    Dan silently nodded in agreement. "Look, Lady Harper looks gorgeous when she is making the tea," he


    suddenlymented. "Her hands move as if they are dancing. She''s so elegant and so entrancing to


    watch."


    "I''ve heard a rumor once that Lady Harper was good for nothing. Now, I honestly think that rumor was


    only made because someone was jealous of her," Sean sighed as he shook his head. If Harper was


    not Matthew''s wife, she would have been the empress of the Great Jade Kingdom. Unfortunately, the


    God of Destiny made fools of the people.


    Since the Bliss Pce was not far from the Harmony Pce, the wind was able to carry the sound of


    Rndo''s music there. Lilian was the first to perceive it, and it surprised her. She knew that Rndo


    often yed the zither alone, but she always heard loneliness in his songs. This time, she felt that his


    song sounded different. It was a melody Rndo had yed numerous times and it sounded sad.


    Now, Lilian couldn''t hear any traces of that—she could only feel happiness.


    "The melody yed by His Majesty seems a little different tonight," Daisymented in a low voice as


    she stood by the door.


    Lilian walked out of her room and stood beside Daisy. "The melody seems to being from the


    Harmony Pce," she said in a hesitant tone.


    "My Lady, do you want to go there right now?" Daisy asked cautiously as she saw Lilian''s strange


    expression.


    Lilian kept silent for a moment, but after a while, she nodded decisively. She wanted to see what


    Rndo looked like if he was ying such a joyous melody. Every time she heard and saw him y,


    he always looked gloomy or unaffected, like he was longing for someone he loved dearly, so she was


    curious as to what his disposition was now that his music sounded free from loneliness. More


    importantly, she wanted to see what changed him so drastically.


    But what unsettled Lilian was, even though she had heard this melody every day after she came to the


    Great Jade Kingdom, it sounded new and fresh. Her zither skills were not as good as Rndo''s. Even


    though she had studied and yed it for many years, she had never heard of this melody yed like


    this before. So, she asked around and finally discovered that this melody was personally created by


    Rndo and its name was Lovesick.


    That was when she realized that indeed, there was someone Rndo was cherishing in his heart. As


    for who that woman was, he had never told anyone, or given any kind of hint. Interestingly, there was


    no other woman around him. Even though he had female secret guards protecting him, he never


    showed any interest in any of them. That made Lilian think that she might have guessed it wrong. But


    now, with the emotion of Rndo''s song changing to being a joyful one, Lilian almost felt sure that the


    one he loved must be right in front of him.


    Lilian didn''t want to think further. The person living in the Harmony Pce was Harper, who was


    already Matthew''s wife. And they were the most perfect couple in the entire world! Because of that, she


    didn''t want to think that she was the one Rndo was pining for. Lilian also knew that the Harmony


    Pce was special to Rndo. Rndo never allowed anyone to get inside easily, including her.


    Sometimes, he would workte and choose to go to the Harmony Pce to sleep.

    However, suspicion grew like poison in her heart. Lilian kept thinking everything that had happened:


    Rndo woke Harper up, picked food for her, ate all the food Harper picked for him, took her out of the


    imperial capital, and visited her atte night. His every act felt like a serpent ready to devour Lilian''s


    heart at any time. Though she didn''t want to act unreasonably, there was nothing else she could think


    of right now but to go Harmony Pce and see what Rndo looked like at that moment!
