Chapter 898 Harmony Pce Is On Fire (Part Two)
"Is it done? If so, let''s go!"
Fred nced at the simple mechanism that Harper set and thought, ''Her Highness is so smart and
terrifying. She truly would destroy the Harmony Pce so that Rndo will be unable to find us, as the
fire will cover up our traces, making it more difficult for Rndo to find us!''
"Let''s go!" With his arms around Harper''s waist, Matthew jumped into the hole they had dug
beforehand. Any trace left behind was swept by Fred before he disappeared.
Rndo and his officials were discussing the details of tomorrow''s coronation ceremony for the
empress when Harper and Matthew escaped the Harmony Pce. With him making sure that the
Harmony Pce was heavily guarded and that no one could break in or escape, Rndo felt secure
that no unprecedented thing would happen. He was sure that Matthew would deem a rescue
impossible and that he wouldn''t have any choice but to try his luck at tomorrow''s ceremony. Because of
that, he knew that he must prepare in advance not only to make sure that the ceremony would be
a sess, but also to secure that Matthew would not return home alive.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Do you have anything else to add?" Miguel asked, his face a bit
pale. He felt that more things had happened in thest two days than what had happened in the past
five years.
Rndo thought it over and said, "Tomorrow, the city gates should not be opened. No one is allowed to
leave the capital."
Miguel nodded, understanding why Rndo would order such a thing. If Matthew were to destroy the
ceremony tomorrow and run away with Harper, the two of them wouldn''t be able to leave the Imperial
Capital with the gates closed and guarded. Rndo could order his army to search every corner of the
city to find Matthew, killing him the moment he found him.
"I am on it," Miguel said, preparing to leave. When he reached the entrance, however, he stopped and
turned around. "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Lady Lilian?" he asked.
"When did I ever give her title?" Rndo asked, sounding confused yet uninterested. He had never
clearly stated that he gave her any title, but the people started calling her Lady Lilian anyway.

Miguel turned around and looked at the emperor in disbelief. "Your Majesty, didn''t you acquiesce in her
title?"
"I don''t remember, and honestly, I don''t care," Rndo responded in a cold voice. "Miguel, didn''t you
advise me to not act rashly and ruin our kingdom for women? What is this that you''re doing? Why does
it feel like you''re willing to ruin all of our ns just for some woman?"
Miguel opened his mouth to argue back, but he couldn''t find the words to say. At this point, it was clear
that the emperor loved Harper so much and that he would never let her leave him. But initially, their
ns included her just because they figured out that she was a key part if they wanted to seed.
What they failed to consider was human emotions: Rndo fell in love with Harper as he became
closer to her. Still, it didn''t affect their ns.
"I understand my duty," Miguel finally said, conceding to Rndo.
Rndo put down the report of the officials that was in his hand and said, "I know you do, but it''s good
to know that you understand. Don''t forget: tomorrow will change everything! I feel like I should go to
Harmony Pce to help guard it. Although most of our forces are already there, Matthew is not
someone who will give up easily. I wouldn''t feel at ease until I guard Harper myself."
"I understand. With that, Your Majesty, I''m off to fulfill your orders." Miguel took three steps back, turned
around and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he saw Sean running in quickly and anxiously.
"Your Majesty! Bad news! Harmony Pce is on fire!"
"What?" Rndo and Miguel eximed at the same time, shocked. Without a moment to lose, Rndo
bolted out towards the Harmony Pce as fast as he could, Miguel close behind him. The two of them
were having the same doubts: was the fire an ident, or did someone deliberately start it? If it was
deliberately done, who did it? Was it Matthew?
The guards were at a loss outside the Harmony Pce. When Rndo arrived, they were still staring
at the burning building, ck-jawed. Rndo snarled, "Put out the goddamn fire! Why are still standing
here?"
"Your Majesty! An array has been set up inside the pce. We can''t go in!" Fernando''s face looked
grim. He tried several times to break in, but to no avail. The magic array in the yard was so powerful
that the guards couldn''t even get anywhere near it. The fire in the pce was getting bigger and bigger,
but they could do nothing.
Rndo pushed Fernando out of the way to enter the pce, but he was stopped by Miguel. "Your
Majesty, you can''t just go in. The fire has already gotten too big!"
"Get out of my way," Rndo hissed. He forcefully pushed Miguel out of the way and went ahead to
enter the pce. The array set by Harper could sessfully block the secret guards and guards
outside, but for people like Rndo, it wasn''t a big deal. Rndo then stepped into the array like it was
nothing. Miguel followed him, as he was afraid that something bad might happen to him.
Only after the two broke the array did they realize how strong the fire was. Despite it seeming like there
was no way for them to stop it, Rndo insisted on going in. As Miguel knew that once Rndo set his
mind on something, he wouldn''t be able to stop him. Thus, he just bit the bullet and followed his
emperor inside.
"Harper, Harper, where are you?" Rndo shouted out as he rushed into the sea of me. As he
rushed towards Harper''s room, Miguel carefully examined everything in his way before the fire
devoured everything. Between the array outside the hall and the fire currently raging in the Harmony
Pce, it seemed like someone wanted to kill Harper.
"Where are the maids and eunuchs here?" Miguel asked in confusion. The pce was on fire, but
where did the maids and eunuchs go? He hadn''te across a body after his entrance, which he
found extremely strange considering the level of the fire.
Rndo continued to look for Harper despite the roaring fire but found nothing. Just then, a beam on
fire copsed. It took Rndo by surprise, and if it were not for Miguel pushing him away quickly, he
would have been badly injured. "Your Majesty, let''s get out of here! No one is here, even the maids and
eunuchs! This didn''t happen by ident—Harper Chu must have escaped!"
