As soon as Harper came back, Howard noticed that she was acting rather normal. In an instant, it dawned on him that even after their conversion, Katrina did not think that this person in front of him was an impostor. With this, he concluded that she was the real Harper. For the time being, all the facts at hand showed that there were only some changes in Harper's dispositions.

"What took you so long, Harper?" Mavis asked with confusion written all over her face.

"Lady Katrina asked me to come over because she wanted to ask me some questions. We talked for quite a long time, so I came back a bit late," Harper answered politely. "Fortunately, His Majesty and Her Majesty haven't arrived yet, or else it would have been impolite for me to come at this point."

"Have a cup of warm tea. Look at your face! It's bright red because of the coldness." True to her words, Mavis hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Harper, who took it with a smile and immediately took a sip.

On the other hand, Howard didn't say anything to her. He just carefully watched her movements as discretely as he could. He then shifted his attention to

ng at her. "Her Majesty just asked His Majesty to make arrangements for your marriage."

All of a sudden, the spoon in Harper's hand fell down on her plate. The sound it made quickly veiled the enormous hall with silence. Harper immediately stood up from her seat and responded in an unsteady voice, "Your Majesty, thank you for your concern about me. I genuinely appreciate it. However, I just want to spend my time with my parents and be filial to my grandmother. For the time being, I'm afraid that I don't have any intentions of getting married."

"Harper, you have to realize sooner rather than later that you are not young anymore. Have you not seen the women of your age? They are not only married, but also mothers already. How can you just indulge in enjoying your life with your parents?" Katrina sharply said while looking at Harper. "I know you are afraid that others would be apprehensive of you because Prince Kevin's son broke off the engagement to you last time, but that shouldn't stop you. You shouldn't be afraid because of that. I have just asked His Majesty for help in this regard to arrange your marriage."
