Rolando opened the Heavenly Book he owned. What had been troubling him for the longest time was that the final pages of the book were blank. Where there should have been some content on it, the only thing staring at him were white spaces after white spaces. Despite his long-time efforts in studying the book, he still couldn't find a way to make anything show itself. He thought that perhaps, only a member of the Qin Clan knew the secrets which were hidden in the pages.

"What on earth do you think might be concealed in the blank parts of this book?" Rolando subconsciously asked out loud. Getting a little tired from years of studying the book, he could only get its superficial meaning. He had no idea what secrets might be written between the lines.

"Your Majesty, since you have studied it for ages, I think you know it very well. Moreover, I still don't think scheming against that couple is a good idea," Miguel firmly said.

In fact, Rolando already knew that Miguel's statement made a lot of sense. Matthew was already as powerful, cunning, and sophisticated as he was. On the other hand, Harper was a smart

el. If Matthew heard what I'm saying, I'm sure he would understand in an instant."

The expression on Miguel's face darkened a little, but he said nothing more about it. "Well, it's late. If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty."

"You can go," the emperor casually said while the prime minister headed for the door. After Miguel had left, the door automatically closed with a gust of wind. When the emperor looked at the portrait on the table, the expression on his eyes instantly softened. "Is it so obvious? Even Miguel can feel my love for you now, Harper. But can you?" Rolando wondered out loud.

"Your Majesty."

"Come in," Rolando gently ordered while he put away the portrait with one swift move of his hand. His gaze then turned tranquil when he asked, "Have you found anything?"

"Your Majesty, we found out that the blue stones on the road were replaced with river stones. They look very much alike, except the river stones are covered with moss, so it's easy to slip on them. That was why Lady Lilian fell and nearly hurt the baby." The guard informed the emperor about the results of their investigation.
