"Guest?" Diana moved her eyes vengefully on Harper from head to toe and sneered at her. "What kind of a guest would destroy the host's palace in this way?"

Harper remained unmoved by Diana's disrespectful remark. Rather, she refuted, "In fact, it is me who should be asking this to you. I was invited to attend the Worship Ceremony in your country. However, during the ceremony, I was framed to assassinate Prince Kile of the Wonder Kingdom. Later somehow I got locked up in the library where I was almost about to lose consciousness out of starvation. As if that was not enough, even the library collapsed.

Trying to make way forcibly would bring about great losses for them. However, through all these obstacles, one thing that kept lingering in Harper's mind was why Catherine wanted to kill Diana.
