Chapter 917 Found The Secret Path (Part One)


    As there was no ill will between the Great Jade Kingdom and the Wonder Kingdom, Miguel never


    expected thetter tounch an attack against the former, specifically him and his army. It came as a


    shock to him. But what shook him to the core was the identity of their leader: Harper. Aside from


    assaulting his men in the middle of the night, she also had her men burn all their food and supplies.


    "Harper Chu!" Miguel hissed through his gritted teeth. Anger coursed through his vein as he looked at


    their two warehouses that had been burned to the ground. But while the Wonder Kingdom was never a


    part of his ns, the reason he brought his troops to where they were was because he wanted to deter


    them from involving themselves in the war that was brewing between the Great Jade Kingdom and the


    Bright Dynasty. He had nned everything in advance, but Harper swooped in just like that and ruined


    it all.


    To be fair, Harper and Kile''s friendship was not a new discovery for him. But he never thought Kile


    would hand over his army to Harper and basically allow her to stir up trouble between the Wonder


    Kingdom and the Great Jade Kingdom. Would the emperor of the Wonder Kingdom approve of what


    Kile did?


    "My Lord, what should we do? Nothing is left of our supplies. Worse, no one would be able to deliver us


    new ones on such short notice. If we decide to take on the Wonder Kingdom right now, I''m afraid we


    will be no match for them," one of the soldiers reported.


    Miguel had seen thising from a mile away. Frustration and self-pity fueled his anger as he knew


    that he could not help his troops. Without any other choice left, he ordered, "Retreat to the ce thirty


    miles away. We need to ask for provisions from the surrounding ten cities before we can continue with


    our ns."


    "Yes, My Lord."


    Standing on top of the city''s watch tower, Harper looked on as her enemies retreated like waves going


    back to the sea. An evil smile appeared on her face as she said jokingly, "Kile, I think I''ll have to rely on


    you from now on."


    Kileughed. "It will surely be difficult for you if you go to the Wonder Kingdom without me by your side.


    I suggest leaving him here and ordering him to guard the Mountain Pass. I will go back with you," Kile


    said as he cast a look at Howard. He knew that Howard had been a brave general when he was still


    serving in the army of Bright Dynasty. Unfortunately, he lost his way because of the trivial matters that


    gued the Chu n. Despite that, he was still a talentedmander, one that could not be


    underestimated.


    Harper noticed Kile looking at Howard, making her look at him too. ''He is indeed a goodmander,''


    she thought. ''But he isn''t a person from the Wonder Kingdom.'' With that, she turned to Kile and asked,


    "Do you trust him to guard the Mountain Pass? He isn''t one of your citizens."


    "Just the fact that he is your brother makes me trust him," Kile said with a knowing smile. "Besides, he


    won''t be here all alone. I will ask one other person to stand guard with him."


    "Wow. May I ask who?" asked Harper, surprised and intrigued.


    Kile pouted and looked in another direction. Harper followed suit, and she saw the person he was


    referring to, though her facial features had been distorted. "Princess Wanda!"


    A profound smile blossomed on Kile''s lips. "You know me, Harper. I''m no good at scheming. I had to


    take her with me to help me," he exined. As he said this, he looked very proud. Wanda Murong was


    his sister and shared the same mother with him. He loved her. Although she had a fragile body, she


    was very smart and always helped him by providing him with the best and most appropriate ideas. If it


    weren''t for her, it wouldn''t have been possible for him to grow up to be a mature man.


    "What? Are you sure you will let Howard take care of her?" Harper asked in surprise.


    "Stop worrying, Harper. Have a little trust in your brother!" Kile said as he winked at her. "There is


    literally nothing my sister can''t do. I know your brother will listen to whatever she says as she has the


    best ideas. So I''m not worried about her one bit. If your brother tries any funny business, her guards


    would easily disable him."


    Upon hearing that, Harper smiled. "That''s good to hear. In that case, I don''t need to worry about


    anything."


    "Harper, Kile," Wanda Murong sweetly called out to them as she walked towards them slowly. She


    looked so calm and grounded that it was as if nothing would be able to disturb her and her emotions.


    Her self-confidence and security soared despite being physically weak.


    "Wanda, thank you so much for your help," Harper said.


    "Don''t mention it, Harper. That''s what I do," Wanda Murong replied. "My home country lies beyond the


    pass. It is my duty to protect it."


    With that, Harper''s face brightened up. "Thank you very much. In the next few days, my brother will be


    here to provide you with assistance."


    Wanda Murong looked incredibly surprised by this statement. After a short pause, she looked at Kile,


    looking for an exnation. And Kile immediately gave her one, saying, "Harper''s brother, Howard, will


    stay here to guard Mountain Pass with you. Miguel is a cunning man, so I beseech you to stay with


    him. I also want to avoid the instance where Howard is framed or challenged by soldiers dissatisfied


    with the way he is leading them, so I''m counting on you to keep them in line. You are needed here, so I


    hope you stay."


    "I see. So, Harper, you and my brother will go back. Am I right?" Wanda Murong asked. She


    immediately understood that Kile was going to go back with Harper. As for the purpose, it should be


    searching for the object that her brother had been looking for all the time.

    "Well, I''ll go find something with her," Kile admitted frankly.


    "Father always loses his temper recently. You must be careful after you go back there. Watch out when


    faced with the queen and the crown prince," Wanda Murong warned. She was still worried about him.


    "Kile, you were supposed to lead the army this time, but Father was worried about your temper and


    character, so he appointed the othermander. So no one will sayin about you when you go


    back. After all, everyone knows that you have always been uninhibited." She then turned to look at


    Harper and said in a soft voice, "Harper, your identity is very sensible to everyone now. You''d better go


    there in disguise and don''t reveal who you are. Otherwise, it would bring trouble to you."


    "Yes, I will. Don''t worry. We will be careful," Harper replied with a smile.


    "That''s good. You''d better leave as soon as possible. It will be bad if the news that you are going there


    is known by others," Wanda Murong said considerately. "Have you already packed everything up?"
