A lot of the people who were present tried to run after her, only to find out that she was being taken to the direction of the library.
Harper tried her best to exert all of her spiritual power to fight against the force, but the more she resisted, the stronger the force
became. When she noticed that she was about to bump into the wall of the library, Harper could not help but stretch her arms to
protect herself. However, before her body could touch the wall, a door appeared out of nowhere on what had been the library's
wall a few seconds ago. The next moment, the strange force began to draw her into the library.
"Matthew, save me!" Harper exclaimed while she felt extreme chills down her spine. She turned around to look at Matthew. But
before he could reach out to touch her, she was completely sucked into the library. In an instant, the library's door had been
closed and was restored to its peaceful stature. The door even vanished right before their eyes.
Matthew struck the wall of the library with both of his fists, but the wall didn't move at all. It even bounced back all of his strength,
throwing his entire body away. When he reached the floor, he spat out a mouthful of blood. In a hurry, Jack and Fred ran to help
him up.
"Your Highness."
Both the Holy Maiden and Lance were frightened by the sudden incident. It was for the first time that the library had devoured a
person on its own accord. They wondered if it was the library that caused the trembling of the earth and the swaying of the
mountain.
"Open the door! If anything bad happens to my wife, I will definitely annihilate the entire South Kingdom!" Matthew yelled to the
Holy Maiden, which sounded like an order and a threat at the same time.
The new prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom was also dumbfounded with what happened. He had never imagined that a
library in the South Kingdom could take people just like that. How could it just absorb Prince Matthew's wife of the Bright
Dynasty? It was even done in front of so many people. It all just seemed too incredible.
"Am I dreaming? A person has been devoured by a room?!" Miguel asked.
Kile subconsciously nodded and replied, "Yes, but I feel like I'm dreaming. Or has the world been so dreamlike that houses begin
to eat people now?"
In the chaos of it all, Francis took the chance and fled away in secret. Since Harper had been sucked into the library, Matthew
had lost his focus. He was about to go crazy and none of the others paid attention to Francis either. It was a perfect chance for
him to escape. He thought of going to the Birch Pass to meet with Luther and make his comeback.
Turning to Matthew who looked extremely ferocious at the moment, the Holy Maiden slowly nodded her head.
"Not everyone is allowed to enter the library!" Lance reminded her in an attempt to prevent Matthew from entering the library.
What had happened earlier that day already went beyond his expectations. He even lost his sanity when Harper was sucked into
the library. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and he didn't know what to do.
"Lance, if something bad happens to my wife, I swear on my life, the Black Flag Army will certainly destroy the Starry Palace. I
dare you to try and not believe in my words!" Matthew said, emphasizing his every word through gritted teeth. The intent to kill
was overflowing from his body. Even the flowers and plants around him were affected as they began to wither immediately. The
Holy Maiden felt even more uncomfortable with the situation.
"Your Highness, the most important thing is to save Her Highness!" Barry immediately reminded his master. If Matthew lost his
mind, he might kill the envoys of the Wonder Kingdom and the Great Jade Kingdom by mistake. If so, the Bright Dynasty might
be attacked by the joint force of the other three countries. By then, it would be difficult to save his own life, let alone his wife's.
Trying to suppress the violent intent to kill in his body, Matthew glared at Lance before shouting, "Let her open the door!"
Lance was frightened by how terrible Matthew looked at that moment. He had long heard that Prince Matthew of the Bright
Dynasty was as terrifying as the king of hell. It was not until then that Lance believed it to be true. There was no doubt that
Matthew was indeed as dreadful as everyone painted him to be.
Nervously swallowing his saliva, Lance replied, "The door can be opened, but our South Kingdom won't take any responsibility
for any problem that you may cause inside the library!"
"Cut the crap and just open the goddamn door!"
Lance turned to the Holy Maiden and nodded at her. It was only then that the Holy Maiden turned around and walked to the
library. With intricate gestures of her fingers, she mumbled some words in a low voice, waiting for the door of the library to open.
However, the door still wouldn't open after quite some time.
Everyone was holding their breaths as they waited for the door. After some time, the Holy Maiden felt that it was inconceivable.
She did the same gestures again, but nothing happened to the wall of the library. There was no sign of a door opening at all.
"What's wrong?" Lance asked in confusion.
The Holy Maiden turned around and said in embarrassment, "The door can't be opened."
At that, Kile curiously asked, "This library belongs to your South Kingdom. If you can't open the door, who else can? Right now,
Princess Harper is trapped inside of it. You're the only one who can open the door, but now you're saying that you can't do it. I
wonder if you're so furious with what happened earlier that you plan to take this chance and kill the princess."
Lance frantically responded, "Prince Kile, please speak with cautiousness! The library had never actively taken anyone before.
Perhaps, Princess Harper did something to offend God and right now, she's being punished."
When he heard that, Matthew sneered, "God? If there's even a broken nail on my wife when she gets out of there, let's see if
God can protect you!"
At Matthew's threat, the expression on Lance's face froze. "Prince Matthew, as you can see, Princess Harper had been taken
away into the library. And now, the door can't be opened. It's not because we don't want to, but rather, we're not able to."
"Guards, destroy this library!"
"No way!" Lance exclaimed, standing in front of Matthew with both of his arms raised in the air. "Prince Matthew, please calm
down. Princess Harper is inside the library right now. If you destroy it, she's going to be in danger! Just think about it!"
Frowning tightly, Matthew asked, "Can't I do anything but wait?"
"Prince Matthew, don't worry. It seems like nothing else unusual is happening to the library. It means that Princess Harper is safe.
Let's be patient, calm down, and just wait. I believe we can find a way very soon," the Holy Maiden said, trying to comfort
Matthew. In fact, she looked even more worried than Matthew, but nobody knew whether it was because of Harper or something
else inside the library.
