Chapter 797 The Uninvited Guests (Part One)
When Harper was trying to sneak into the Royal Pce of the South Kingdom, she, unfortunately, got
lost. What was worse, Fred got lost with her as well.
"Don''t you know the way to Lance''s residence?" Harper turned back to look at Fred, implying that he
should know it. After all, it was understandable that she didn''t know because she had never been there
before.
Fred shook his head. "Your Highness, I''ve never been to Lance''s residence so I don''t know the way."
Harper wanted to cry but she didn''t have time for tears at that moment. Both of them had no idea how
to get to their destination but still, they continued to move forward. She had no choice but to give an
order to the secret guards to find Lance''s pce.
Fred was rendered speechless because of Harper''smand. The secret guards being used to find
someone was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Harper might be the only one who would do
such a thing.
"This hall is so luxurious. Who lives here?" Harper curiously asked. Most halls in every pce bore the
name of the one residing in each. However, the one they came across, looked rather splendid but it
didn''t have a name. Spending so much effort and resources in a nameless hall seemed unreasonable.
So it made Harper very curious.
"We''ll know when we get inside."
"That''s what I think too."
Harper and Fred finally sneaked into the hall, only to find that it was spotless and no servant in sight. In
the middle of the hall, there was even a jade statue to be worshiped. Once they looked closer, the face
of the statue astonished both of them!
Fred looked at the jade statue and then at Harper. He looked back and forth between the jade statue
and Harper before finally saying with utmost certainty, "Your Highness, since when have you been
worshiped here?"

Harper firmly responded, "That isn''t me! It looks worn and torn in some parts. It could have only been
made more than ten years ago. At that time, I was just a child so this jade statue can''t be me."
Fred looked at the jade statue more carefully and said, "Now that you say that, the jade statue actually
looks a little different from you. At first nce, it definitely looks like you. But the longer you look at it,
the more it doesn''t look like you. The statue looks more gentle andpassionate. On the other hand,
Your Highness..."
"I have a smile on my face, but my eyes are cold. Am I right?"
Fred didn''t answer her, but silently thought to himself, ''You''re right. Even when there''s a smile on your
face, it doesn''t reach your indifferent eyes. It instantly makes people freeze to death. You only have a
sincere smile when you''re in front of His Highness and Zack.''
"By the way, this might not be the best time to say this. But Caroline is about to give birth. I hope I can
make it on time." Approaching the jade statue, Harper looked at it more carefully. She never looked like
a gentle andpassionate person. She always stood by the rule of "I will not attack people unless
they attack me first." Moreover, she would never sacrifice herself for anyone else.
"Is there anyone there?" A woman''s voice was suddenly heard in the hall so Harper and Fred
coordinately hid themselves. After a brief moment, a woman in a white robe walked in the hall, with her
ck hair randomly tied at the back of her head. She was no longer young; still, the calmness and
serenity were apparent in her.
The woman slowly walked out, but she didn''t see anyone. She couldn''t help but feel surprised. But no
matter where she looked, there was actually no one in the hall. Then, she went to the jade statue, lit
incense, and then continued to recite scriptures in the inner room.
Harper and Fred silently left the luxurious yet deserted hall. By that point, the twelve secret guards had
already found Lance''s residence. Her top priority was to meet Lance and ask him everything he knew
about what happened to the Qin n.
The number of guards in Lance''s residence was tripled. After Diana''s secret visit to Lance. Catherine
became even more cautious, so she sent more guards there.
"Lance''s residence is heavily guarded. There''s no way we can get inside, Your Highness."
"It seems like Diana already visited Lance, making Catherine more suspicious than before. That''s why
she has strengthened the security of the ce." Harper rolled her eyes. There was a great chance that
Catherine must''ve figured out that they had survived the Labyrinth Swamp.
Harper poked Patrick''s head with her finger and said, "Go in and check for me if the old man, Lance is
dead or not."
Patrick folded its arms across its chest and looked at Harper with its small eyes. It was obvious that it
wanted to get something out of it. So Harper gave it a pill. Immediately, it grabbed the pill and happily
stuffed it into its mouth. With so much contentment, it ate the pill just like a human being.
The corners of Fred''s mouth twitched while he looked at Patrick. Was this really a beast? He didn''t
know how to feel about this fellow which looked like a person actually asking for a reward!
"Come on. You can have an entire bottle when you finish your task."
Upon hearing this, Patrick had so much excitement in its eyes. It turned into a small purple light, barely
the size of a thumb. It then immediately sneaked into Lance''s bedroom. During the time, Lance had
been lying in bed because he was unable to move. There were a lot of guards outside, but only a few
people in the inner room were allowed to go inside to take care of him.
Standing on the bedside, Patrick stretched out its paw in front of Lance''s nose to find out if the man
was still breathing. Just then, Lance sensed something, so he slowly opened his eyes. He then saw a
little purple fox with its paw under his nose.
Seeing this, Patrick retreated its w. With contempt, it turned its butt in front of Lance''s face and
farted. The stinky smell almost made him throw up. But since there was nothing he could do, he just
red at Patrick.
