Chapter 834 Burying The Hatchet (Part Two)


    Giggling behind her hand, Harper said, "Marquis Travis, please don''t tease me. Every time your son


    sees me, he''s always so attentive and vignt, as if he''s afraid that I might trick him. How could he


    have affection for me? Back then, the reason why he agreed to go to the north domain as I had


    required was that your n was having a hard time. I knew that it was like walking on thin ice despite


    all of your glories on the surface. He wanted to take another route of retreat by cooperating with


    Matthew and me."


    At this point, Travis was bing a little furious. He knew his own son too well. Once Shawn blinked


    his eyes, he would immediately understand what he was thinking. It was impossible for Shawn to be


    vignt against Harper. Travis was afraid that even if Harper told him to die, Shawn would court death


    without a single thread of hesitation. Moreover, every time he spoke ill of Harper, Shawn would be so


    upset very quickly and would even brutally argue with him. All facts that he had were leading to one


    thing, that his only son loved Harper very much.


    "What I''m saying is true. My son really—"


    "What about me?" Shawn''s voice was suddenly heard out of the blue, interrupting his father. "What are


    you two talking about? You look quite happy. Why did you mention me?"


    At his son''s sudden appearance and questions, the expression on Travis'' face gradually changed. At


    the same time, Harper smiled and replied, "Marquis Travis was telling me about the interesting stories


    of your childhood."


    "Interesting stories of my childhood..." Shawn slowly repeated. As soon as Travis saw the subtle


    expression on his son''s face, he realized what Shawn had remembered. Beaming with joy, Travis


    immediately said,


    "Well, we just talked about that time when I threw you into the military camp for the first time. I told her


    how you were picked on by the soldiers to the point that you teared up."


    Upon hearing that, Shawn blushed in embarrassment. "I didn''t know there was such a thing."


    A faint smile flickered across Harper''s lips. She looked around, but didn''t find any physician with


    Shawn. Immediately, she silently asked him with her eyes why he hadn''t brought Physician Gore back


    with him.


    "Physician Gore was out collecting medicinal herbs. The people there said that he woulde back


    tomorrow. I have already nned to personallye to him again." As soon as the topic of


    conversation was shifted to business, Shawn regained hisposure and calmness in an instant.


    Nodding her head, Harper said, "If Physician Gore refuses toe, you can tell him that I will write


    down the silver needle acupuncture method for him if he agrees to take care of Lady Wendy. He has


    been very eager to learn the method for a long time."


    A glimmer of light shed in Shawn''s eyes. In the end, he only said two words. "Thank you."


    "You are most wee. But we don''t need to say thanks to each other because we''re friends," Harper


    said in a gentle tone with perfect countenance. While watching how the two interacted, Travis suddenly


    found out that he had been wrong. He had hated Harper very much because his son loved her, but it


    was not until then that he realized that it was just his son''s unrequited love. If— No, there wasn''t an if.


    Even before he came back, Harper had already married Matthew and be a princess.


    Meanwhile, Shawn repeatedly pondered on the word "friend" in his head. In fact, Harper only


    recognized very few people as her friends. That list included Zack and Caroline from the Bu n,


    Carlson, and George, sort of. Aside from these people, he was afraid no one could call themselves as


    Harper''s friend.


    "I feel honored to be your friend. Can I casually call you by your name from now on?" Shawn said with


    a very serious expression on his face.


    "Of course you can. A name only exists so that one can be called anyways," Harper said with a smile.


    Looking at the father and son in front of her, she shifted the topic of conversation by asking, "Have you


    heard about the letter of credence from the Great Jade Kingdom?"


    "Do you mean how Emperor Rndo of the Great Jade Kingdom is going to make Princess Lilian as


    his empress?" Travis asked right away.


    Nodding her head, Harper said, "Although I''m acquainted with Rndo, I don''t know him at all, such as


    his way of doing things, his disposition, and his means. But I have a feeling that it''s a little abrupt to


    make Princess Lilian as his empress."


    "He used to be as well-known as Prince Matthew. The two of them are almost equal when ites to


    tactfulness and capabilities. It can be said that they are well matched. Such a person must be quite


    ambitious. So obviously, Princess Lilian is not the best choice for the position of his empress," Travis


    said. Although he didn''t want to admit it, it was a fact that when Rndo did something, he must have


    other intentions for doing so.


    "What does Prince Matthew n to do?"


    Harper slowly responded, "We''re actually going to pay a visit to the Great Jade Kingdom. No matter


    what Rndo wants to do, I''m afraid he has been targeting Matthew all this time. We might as well


    interact with him in the open. Anyway, Princess Lilian is a princess of the Bright Dynasty, the younger


    sister of the current emperor, so Rndo shouldn''t go too far in whatever he was nning to do with


    her."

    Shawn took a nce at Harper, but didn''t say anything. Since Rndo had once saved Harper''s life at


    the risk of his own, Shawn couldn''t speak ill of her savior in front of her. Moreover, the rtionship


    between Harper and Rndo was quite congenial. Or at least, in Shawn''s perspective, it was better


    than her rtionship with him. When Rndo had been the imperial monk of the Bright Dynasty,


    Harper had been allowed to enter and leave his mansion whenever she wanted. By now, Rndo had


    gone back to the Great Jade Kingdom and be its emperor. Shawn didn''t know if there had been


    any changes in their rtionship since then.


    Even though Shawn wouldn''t dare to speak ill of Rndo, his father was different. "Rndo is not a


    good person! As a matter of fact, he is very wicked. In the past, when he fought against Matthew, he


    always yed all kinds of tricks. Just as so, Matthew hated him very much then."


    Harper opened her eyes very wide in disbelief. "It seems like you know Rndo quite well, Marquis


    Travis. Please tell me more about him. What kind of a person is he?"
