"This way please, Your Highness."
With Patrick in her arms, Harper headed for the Harmony Palace. On the way, she crossed paths with a maid who lowered her
head before walking past her. Harper suddenly paused and tried to attack the maid. The maid was so surprised and quickly
retreated. But the maid didn't know that her extraordinary martial arts skills had been exposed from her speed of reacting to
Harper's attempted attack.
Squinting her eyes a little, Harper stretched out all of her fingers in a hurry to hit the woman's face. The woman was taken aback
and wasn't able to dodge this time. In an instant, Harper pulled down a mask from her face.
Looking at the woman in front of her eyes, Harper exclaimed through gritted teeth, "Becky! And now, we meet again."
As soon as Harper launched her attacks, a group of secret guards appeared and surrounded Becky. She wanted to escape, but
she was unable to defeat Harper by herself, let alone so many secret guards.
"Do you like the gift that I gave you today, Harper Chu?" Becky asked. Even though she knew that it would be impossible to
escape today, she was willing to do anything to make Harper upset.
Looking down at Patrick, who was in her arms, Harper said, "I want her to suffer so much, so that she would wish she'd die
instead. Give her back the poison that she gave to me."
"Harper Chu, what do you mean?" Becky asked in surprise. She didn't understand what Harper meant. At the same time, a weird
smile appeared at the corners of Harper's lips. "I'll make your life a living hell," Harper said while looking straight at Becky. Then,
the little beast in her arms turned into a stream of light and instantly rushed towards Becky. In response, Becky stretched out her
arms to block it, but her neck was still cut by Patrick's sharp claws. As she touched her injured neck with her hand, Becky was
boiling with rage.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
Patrick bounced to the ground and then back to Harper's arms, and then further jumped to her shoulder. Standing there with a
defiant look, the creature made a face at Becky. Becky wished she could hit the little beast. Although its master had always kept
a low profile, the little beast was very high-spirited and liked showing off.
"Well... What's your name?" Harper asked Fernando after dodging Becky's attack and turning to look at him.
"My name is Fernando."
"So, Fernando, I hereby leave this woman to you. Take her and send her to prison. Don't lock her by herself, or she will bleed to
death. It's kind of a revenge for your Emperor Rolando," Harper said indifferently.
Fernando told his subordinates to capture Becky. Although he didn't understand what Harper meant, he knew that whatever was
going to happen to Becky, it was definitely not a good thing. Perhaps, they would only know the details until it finally happened to
the woman.
"Prince Francis." Becky had thought that Harper was only intimidating her, but after a moment, she started to have an illusion in
front of her eyes. No matter whom her sight fell on, she saw Francis' face on them. She was astonished. Then, she realized that
she had been poisoned by the Fantasy. She closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, she still saw Francis' face. Not
one, but several faces of Francis were surrounding her.
Fernando was very much surprised to see that, and Harper was a little astounded too. She looked at Patrick and asked, "Why
did it affect her so quickly?"
Patrick complacently twitched its buttocks in a sexy manner and said something to Harper. No one knew what it had actually said
except Harper, who thoughtfully nodded and said, "You've strengthened the effect of the drug, so it will affect her immediately."
Patrick stretched its claw towards Harper in a coquettish manner. It was evident that it wanted to ask Harper for something to
eat. Harper smiled helplessly, took out a small porcelain bottle, and threw it to Patrick. The little beast grabbed it and threw the
pills into its mouth, as if the pills were sugar beans.
"Your Highness, please don't leave me, Prince Francis... I really love you!" Because of the Fantasy's effect on her, Becky could
not control herself. In her eyes, everyone who appeared in front of her would look like the person she was thinking of. Harper
had known that Becky had affections for Francis. She had thought that even so, Becky would not betray the orthodox royal family
because she was the leader of an imperial department of the Bright Dynasty. However, to her surprise, Becky was willing to
abandon her duties and be a pawn in Francis' hands.
After taking a quick glance at Becky, Harper turned and left. "I'm leaving her to you. Don't let her die."
"Yes, Your Highness." Fernando ordered his men to put Becky into prison right away. It was not an ordinary prison, but one that
was used to incarcerate male criminals.
"You're going to put her there?"
Rolling his eyes at his subordinates, Fernando said, "Haven't you heard Lady Harper's command? Maybe we can disobey
anybody else, but we have to obey this lady. Otherwise, no one can save you."
"Yes, yes, chief. I got it. I will put her into the prison at once." The secret guards dragged Becky away and threw her into a group
of male prisoners without hesitation. "Look at the bitch. How sultry she is! I'm afraid she'll even pounce on a boar."
"The chief said that we must keep her alive.
When she's about to die, we can take her out. After she takes some rest, we can throw her into the prison again. If you offend
Lady Harper, you would have a miserable ending. Everybody, keep this in mind," a senior secret guard firmly stated with a snort.
"Yes, sir. We'll keep that in mind. Do whatever Her Highness says!"
"We are His Majesty's secret guards. We can only obey His Majesty! But we can't offend this lady!" the senior secret guards
exclaimed, rolling his eyes.
"Yes, sir. We must remember not to offend Lady Harper!"
