Raising her eyebrow, Harper moved the cherry in her mouth to the other cheek. "Do you want to say he's hiding or is it something else?"

The smile on Zack's face faded. "It is said that the Great Jade Kingdom's former crown prince, Prince Rolando, suddenly went back to the imperial capital of the kingdom. At this moment, it wouldn't be too wise to expose your relationship with him."

"Oh, you guessed that?" Harper asked.

Zack sighed. "Master Chodak is too well-known. It would be so easy for people to feel suspicious about his death and investigate the matter. Moreover, if Master Chodak really went to heaven, why is Princess Lilian acting so normally? Plus, Rolando suddenly returned to the imperial capital. After I thought about the whole thing a little more, the whole situation became clear to me. There is no doubt that he is a tough opponent. If he ascends the throne of the Great Jade Kingdom, it won't be good for our Bright Dynasty if things keep going on like this in our court."

Meanwhile, Harper se

eading, Rolando concealed everything and didn't hold a burial ceremony. He knew that a piece of sudden news like that would only lead to several rebellions of various princes. With the speed of lightning, he secretly restrained several princes who might rebel against him. At last, only the second prince was objecting to him. Rolando kept him under control and would decide whether to let him off or not after everything had been settled.

"Yes, Your Highness." The chief guard was curious about the woman who dared to call Rolando useless. He was actually interested in the woman's status in society. If she was a high born lady, she could be the crown prince's partner!

Rolando tossed away the petals of cherry and started walking outside. He actually hoped that the troubles in the Great Jade Kingdom could be settled soon, so he could do what he wanted to do next. With utmost confidence, he thought to himself, 'Harper, you will come to me one day! You will find me for the sake of the Heavenly Book in my hand.'
