Harper looked at the peak and saw a figure standing on top of a tree, seeming to look for something. Soon, the figure flew towards her and Matthew.

Matthew slowed down, still holding on to Harper's waist. In a moment, the Holy Maiden of South Kingdom was standing in front of them. She glanced at Matthew and then at Harper. "Is this your husband?"

Harper nodded. "Yes, Your Grace. He is not good at making conversation. Please forgive him."

"It doesn't matter." The Holy Maiden looked at Matthew and turned around to lead the way. She confessed, "When I didn't see you coming up after waiting for a while, I was worried something had happened to you, especially when I realized there was something wrong with the spiritual creatures in the mountain. That's why I came out to look for you. Luckily, there's nothing wrong, or I'd have felt very guilty."

"Your Grace, please don't worry. This is the Holy Mountain. How could something happen here? Besides, with you here, no monster or demon would dare approach us." The Holy Maiden's consideration quite moved Harper. As the lofty Holy Maiden, it was unnecessary for her to pick them up in person, but she still came.

"You saved my life. I can't let my savior get in trouble in my place. Besides, I'm not so mighty as to have that effect on the monsters. There are many poisonous insects and snakes in this mountain. They would be very dangerous to you but are considered treasures to our people in South Kingdom. People here are good with poison, and th

The Holy Maiden turned to Harper and gently asked, "Harper, do you feel lonely sometimes?"

After thinking it over, Harper shook her head without hesitation. "No. My husband will always be with me."

Matthew smiled pleasantly. He looked at Harper with approval. It drove the Holy Maiden to feel a little envious of Harper, who didn't know what it was like to have worries.

"I am so envious of you."

"Your Grace, there are countless people in South Kingdom who admire you. I don't understand why you'd be envious of me." Harper had been studying the Holy Maiden's expression. When she was done talking, the Holy Maiden's eyes flickered to Matthew.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Harper's eyes. 'Is the Holy Maiden desperate for love? But according to the rules of South Kingdom, she can never get married nor have children. So, is that the reason why she is envious of me?' But it was human nature. The Holy Maiden was young and certainly wanted to be loved. Being so inherently human and romantic made her even more adorable.

"Everyone believes that as the Holy Maiden, in a lofty position, I can get anything I want. However, they do not understand that there are many rules I have to abide by. I can't get what I long for and instead should get what I don't want. I have many worries that ordinary people don't know of, and many people can't understand," the Holy Maiden said as she opened the gate. "Let's go. I'll show you around the Starry Palace first."

"Thank you so much, Your Grace."
