Chapter 736 Entering The Capital Of The South Kingdom (Part Two)
"Change your clothes!"
"What''s wrong?" Harper asked, confused at his sudden outburst.
"It''s hideous!" Matthew unconsciously turned his head around. The truth was that it wasn''t because the
clothes were too repulsive but Harper would draw a lot of people''s attention in those clothes. There
was a possibility that they would be caught as soon as they entered the capital. It was not until then
that Matthew realized how a beautiful appearance could sometimes bring some trouble.
Harper red at Matthew before asking, "Did you just say that I''m hideous?"
"It''s not you! I said the clothes are ugly!" Matthew exined or rather yelled. He didn''t feel at ease
while looking at those clothes. He could not understand why the citizens of the South Kingdom wore
such kind of garments. They were bearing their arms and legs, and even their waists were very much
exposed. It might be wrong but Matthew wanted to keep his wife''s body to himself.
When Harper looked at the awkward expression on Matthew''s face, she finally understood why he was
acting so weirdly. "You know, these clothes are actually very conservative. I had worn more revealing
ones before. So it doesn''t matter."
"No way!" Matthew stubbornly insisted, bing more upset as the conversation went on.
"We are going to sneak into the capital of the South Kingdom. If we don''t wear their clothes, we''re
going to fail."
"I would rather fail!"
Harper''s head was pounding. Finally, she came up with an idea to resolve their difference. She put on a
cloak and covered her whole body with it. With that, Matthew decided to move forward although he was
very much reluctant.
Since both of their faces were too recognizable, they each took a disguise pill. It could change their
appearance and make their faces look like other citizens''. When they were among the crowd, they
blended so well that no one would be able to identify them easily.
It was only then when the discontent in Matthew''s heart was finally gone. But still, he carefully kept an
eye on Harper''s cloak. Whenever a small part of her skin was exposed, he would quickly stretch out his
hands to adjust the cloak. Needless to say, it made Harper feel quite helpless.
The couple disguised themselves as merchants of medical supplies and entered the capital of the
South Kingdom with ease. Then, they found an inn to stay at. The capital was bustling from every
corner. There were vendors, merchants as well as local people who were bargaining with the vendors.
Looking at the boisterous crowd, Harpermented, "The busy crowds are only seeking their personal
interests."
"Didn''t you always say that there are no evesting enemies, only evesting interests? How about we
explore the capital tonight?" Matthew suggested while slipping his arms around her waist from behind.
Harper shook her head. The capital was too big for them to explore. It would not be easy for them to
find Francis in that way. She thought that they should settle in first, getting familiar with their
surroundings and finding out how much they were limited when it came to resources. Now that Francis
had lured them here, he must certainly know what she cared about, so he would definitely give them
some clues.
Suddenly, Harper''s sight fell on a woman with a veil on her face. She could only see a vague figure but
Harper thought that she was so beautiful that she actually looked like a fairy.
However, every time a beautiful woman went outside by herself, she would always encounter one or
two perverts. While the woman was looking at the stalls of medical supplies on both sides of the road,
she unexpectedly bumped into someone.
"Ouch!" The man who deliberately bumped into the woman grabbed her hand and rubbed it to his
chest. "You really hurt me right here!"

"Let go of my hand!" the woman yelled at the man with a deep frown on her face.
Ignoring what she said, the man told her, "Pretty girl, you don''t need to wear a veil when you''re
outside." The man then reached out to remove the woman''s veil. But before he could do so, his hand
was stopped by another hand which quickly twisted it. He immediately cried out in pain.
"How dare you harass ady in the light of day?!" Harper eximed. When she exerted more strength
to her hand, the man gave a more painful cry. The man pitifully replied, "It''s all my fault, madam. I''m
sorry. Release me, please."
Harper frowned in disgust and pushed the man forward, making him fell to the ground. It was not until
then that his servants came to their senses and ran to help him. "How dare you hit our master?!"
"Your master?" Harper sneered, ignoring the man and his servants. However, as soon as the man was
free, he quickly reached to his pockets and was about to throw poison at the two women. Harper
immediately stood in front of the woman. When she waved her sleeve, the poison ricocheted and was
directly thrown back to the man.
"Oh, my face!" the man screamed in horror. His servants were so scared as well that their faces turned
deathly pale. The man fell down on the ground once again while he continued to scream. The servants
looked at Harper and quickly realized that they were not a match for her. Therefore, they carried the
man away in their arms and screamed, "Just wait and see!"
"Indeed, I will wait and see!" Harper snorted. Then, she turned around to look at the woman behind her.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"Thank you, madam. I''m fine," the woman said. She then noticed that Harper was wearing a bun for a
married woman so she figured that she had a husband already. "That man is the son of a courtier and
you hurt him for my sake. I''m afraid that his family won''t let go of you. You''d better leave as soon as
possible."
"Don''t worry about me. They can try with everything they get to hurt me but it takes more than skills to
do that," Harper said with a small smile. She then turned around and walked towards the inn as if
everything that just happened were nothing.
The woman stared at Harper''s receding figure. She didn''t want Harper to suffer an unexpected problem
because of her, so she turned around and headed for the mansion of a courtier. In an instant, her eyes
turned into something more intense. She then thought to herself, ''How dare he disrespect me, the Holy
Maiden of the country? If I didn''t teach him a lesson this time, he would think that he could just do
whatever he wants.''
