Harper smiled and replied, "Yes that is how it is in most of the cases. Men are used to treating their wives that way. When they are happy, they spoil their wives, but when they are angry, they treat their wives indifferently. Then, why is it considered wrong if a woman behaves in the same manner? Since you want a wife who should be an equal partner, my temperament and personality should also match with yours. Otherwise, how will I be a suitable ally to my handsome and unparalleled husband?"

"Now, that sounds good. Rather, I should say, that sounds much better than the sweet words you said to me in the past," Matthew said. He kissed her hair and held her closer to his chest.

Hearing that, Harper smiled happily. She remembered that she was asked to say "something nice" to her husband. And she tricked him by saying "something nice" repeatedly, but she gave up on it very soon.

"If you like to hear nice words, I will say them to you every day. I promise the nice words will be different each day and you will never get bored of them." Harper chuckled, rubbing her nose on Matthew's chest.

"All kinds of 'some

to take Diana back to the South Kingdom secretly. I believe Lance must be very glad to see his precious daughter alive."

"Speaking of Diana, I have a question. Since when are you being so close to her? I even heard her calling you master," Matthew asked. He didn't know much about Diana, but he could sense that she was an extremely cunning opportunist.

"Well, all thanks to the Labyrinth Swamp. While I was dealing with the challenges in Swamp, she got a clear view of my powerful strength. She was so impressed by my strength that she wanted to be my disciple. Since then, she has been calling me master. But I haven't agreed to accept her as my disciple yet," Harper answered casually. "I just saved her from danger as I did for the others."

Matthew nodded as he got the clarity of the matter. He suggested, "Darling, it's a good idea to take her as your disciple. We can help her to climb up to a high position so that the South Kingdom and the Bright Dynasty can form a temporary alliance," Matthew added slowly. "Even if the peace will be short-lived, it is still worth it."

"Okay, so be it," agreed Harper.
