Chapter 751 A Disobedient Snake (Part Two)


    "I also managed to gather a piece of news," Harper said, gritting her teeth. "The real Worship


    Ceremony will be held in five days. Today''s ceremony was just their disy of prayers before the real


    one takes ce."


    Hearing that, Matthew scowled slightly. "So, there was something amiss with the invitation letter sent to


    the Bright Dynasty."


    "Or, maybe there was nothing wrong with the invitation letter. Maybe someone deliberately made us


    come here sooner than we should have," Harper muttered. "I guess the Wonder Kingdom''s and the


    Great Jade Kingdom''s envoys will arrive in a couple of days. I wonder who the Great Jade Kingdom will


    send as their envoy leader."


    "It can''t be Rndo," said Matthew firmly.


    Harper agreed with him. "As the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, Rndo would not risk his life. I


    wonder who he will send in his stead."


    "Most likely their newly appointed prime minister."


    "What kind of person is he?"


    "He is a very shameless man." It was the first time for Matthew to insult someone so vehemently.


    Clearly, he disliked the new prime minister.

    That immediately piqued Harper''s curiosity and interest in knowing more about this new prime minister.


    She wanted to know what kind of person would prompt Matthew to describe him as shameless.


    Rndo looked like an other-worldly being. But Harper had a hard time imagining what the prime


    minister was like.


    After returning to the inn, Harper and Matthew discreetly conferred with the secret guards. They then


    had to go back to the envoy''s team. Their entrance to the South Kingdom''s capital would need to be


    public. When they entered the Starry Pce''s library, they would be Prince Matthew and his wife.


    Failing her task, Becky made her way to the envoy''s temporary residence. Once there, she found both


    Matthew and Harper inside. The sight of the couple shocked her. It even made her question if she had


    gone to the wrong ce.


    But no, one look at the sign and she knew she was in the right ce. It meant that both Matthew and


    Harper were back in the envoy''s fold. There was no way for her to separate them now.


    "Your Highnesses." Becky had no choice but to bow and greet them despite how much she hated doing


    it.


    Harper was amid ying with a crimson snake that she had caught, so she was not in the mood to deal


    with Becky. Matthew didn''t want to respond to her either. Kneeling on the ground, Becky felt rather


    embarrassed. She wanted to stand up, but Matthew hadn''t given her permission to do so, so she


    remained in position. However, if she kept kneeling on the ground, she would lose face.


    "Your Highnesses," Becky greeted the couple in a much higher voice.


    Frowning, Harper asked, "Do you have anything important to say to us? If not, you can just leave. I''m


    training my new pet. Don''t bother me."


    Becky''s face turned red in embarrassment when she heard that. She turned to look at Matthew. But he


    was watching Harper as she yed with the snake on the table. He didn''t even bother to take a nce


    at her.


    Gritting her teeth, Becky stood up and turned to leave. With onest deep simmering look at Harper full


    of murderous intent, she finally left.


    Suddenly, Harper reached out and pinched the area above the snake''s heart. "You''re such a naughty


    little thing," She scolded. "Even though you''ve fallen into my hands, you still don''t know who has control


    over your life. Do you still think you''re king of the snakes, running freely in the jungle?"


    "If you don''t like Becky, kill her," Matthew pointed out in a t tone. "She''s a poisonous snake circling


    around us, ready to jump out and bite at any moment. While we might not fear her, it''s still


    ufortable knowing she''s always around."


    Harper shook her head and said, "Forget about her. No need to get our hands dirty by dealing with


    someone so unworthy. Since she likes to court death, just let her do it. I wonder what a show Francis


    has prepared for us for he even goes so far as to corrupt the woman like that."


    Matthew sneered, "He not only married the South Kingdom''s princess, but he also seduced the Secret


    Pavilion''s leader. I hadn''t expected him to fall to such an extent."


    Hearing that, Harper stretched out her finger and flicked the snake''s head. As a result, it fell on the


    table, motionless. When it started moving again, it looked at Harper cautiously, not daring to attack


    again.


    Harper stretched out a finger, with a drop of blood at the tip. The snake''s eyes opened wide at the sight


    of the blood. It slithered closer to Harper. It wasn''t until it was sure Harper wouldn''t beat it again that it


    tentatively stretched out its tongue to lick the drop of blood.


    "What are you doing?" Matthew asked in confusion.


    "Feeding it. Although this crimson snake is very young, it can be quite useful if well trained. Since Rena


    and her father destroyed my Golden Cicada, I haven''t had any powerful poison source. I decided to


    train a crimson snake in its ce," Harper exined to Matthew.


    Hearing Harper mention Johnson and Rena reminded Matthew of the wound in Harper''s chest. She


    had almost died to save him.


    "Harp."


    "Yes, is there something wrong?"


    "From now on, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to risk your life to save anybody else,


    including me," Matthew said as he held Harper''s hands in his. "Promise me."


    Harper found his reaction amusing. "You can no longer get poisoned or sustain an injury. What kind of


    mortal danger can you face? What could happen that would require me to risk my life? As long as you


    are fine, I will be fine."
