Chapter 848 Rndo Showed Up (Part Two)


    Rndo''s way of ying Go was gentle and unassuming as usual. Harper, on the other hand, was fast


    and straightforward. Throughout the whole game, they were neck and neck, giving them both a feeling


    of satisfaction. With a smile on his face, Rndo remarked, "It always makes me happy to y Go with


    you. When I y with others, I always feel that there is something missing."


    "Is it because my Go skills are so bad?" Harper joked.


    Rndo nced at Harper and chuckled. "What are you saying? If your skills are bad, then most of the


    people I know who im to know how to y Go don''t really know how to y the game! Harper, you


    are being way too modest."


    "It''s not that I''m too modest," Harper denied. "It''s just... it''s not easy to get your praise." She then made


    a move on the board. "Especially now that you are the famous Emperor Rndo. Everyone thinks


    highly of you. The Great Jade Kingdom will be better and better under your rule, and I am sure of it."


    Rndo raised his head to look up at Harper. Then he made a move on the board. "Do you like the


    Great Jade Kingdom?" he asked.


    "Of course! The people here all look incredibly happy. It seems like everyone is content with the lives


    they are leading. I''ve never seen such enthusiastic citizens in my life," Harper replied. To Rndo''s


    ears, Harper''s voice sounded ethereal, like a feather softly caressing him in the heart, calming it down


    and making it joyous.


    "Well, if you like, you cane to the Great Jade Kingdom any time you want," Rndo said tenderly.


    "I heard what happened to you in the South Kingdomst time. It''s... unbelievable. You''re a strong


    woman."


    "Are you talking about the time I entered the Labyrinth Swamp?" Harper asked. "Well, I was forced to


    do that at that time. I literally had no other choice, so I was incredibly relieved when I managed toe


    out alive. But if you ask me to go inside that wretched ce once again, I would definitely say no. What


    I experienced inside was the most terrible thing I have experienced in my life, and probably in the future


    lives I''ll have. It is so full of traps which are all deadly."


    "Well, I''m sure Matthew would stamp with fury if you went in there again," Rndo joked, chuckling.


    Then, out of the blue, he said, "I was extremely worried when I heard that you had entered the


    Labyrinth Swamp."


    "It''s my fault to let you feel worried," Harper replied with a soft smile on her lips. "But the Great Jade


    Kingdom is very far away from the Labyrinth Swamp. Don''t worry. I won''t have the chance to be forced


    into it again."


    "If anyone in the Great Jade Kingdom dares to force you to do anything, tell me. I will not let them go


    alive," Rndo said firmly.


    "Speaking the Great Jade Kingdom, I have not had the chance to see any of the beautiful scenery in


    here!" Harper said to lighten the mood.


    Rndoughed. "I''ll take you to see the scenery of the imperial capital some other day. It won''t be so


    much better than that of the Bright Dynasty, but it definitely would not be worse. Also, if Lilian finds out


    that you''re here, she will be very happy." Rndo''s eyes suddenly became as deep as the ocean,


    making it hard to see through him.


    "Lilian." At the mention of Lilian, Harper felt a little peculiar inside. The first time she saw her, she was


    with Rndo. At that time, she wanted to thank Rndo for saving her life. Lilian immediately became


    hostile towards her just because she saw her beside Rndo.

    "Do you remember when you saved Caroline and me who were trapped in the fire in the Holy Chant


    Temple and I went to thank you for saving our lives? That was when Lilian first saw me and she gave


    me a cold shoulder. She didn''t even try to hide her disdain for me. It was as if I was her rival in love! At


    that time, I truly felt how dedicated she was to her own feelings. Despite being a princess, she was


    ready to abandon everything just to follow a monk. I really admired her for her boldness that she makes


    it public that she loves you." Harper had never seen someone willing to do such a thing for love.


    "If you like someone, what are you capable of doing?" Rndo asked suddenly.


    "Me?" Harper thought about it carefully for a few moment. "Well, I think I''ll be doing it differently. First, I


    don''t think I would be able to handle telling everyone how I feel about a person. If I''m not sure that the


    person I like likes me back, I wouldn''t bring any kind of pressure on him or anything like that. But I''ll


    make sure that he understands what I feel for him. Now, if he really doesn''t like me, I''ll distance myself


    from him. I won''t make him think that I''m hard to deal with."


    "What if he likes you back?"


    This made Harper cover her mouth and giggle like a little girl. "Is it really necessary for me to answer


    that?" she asked, looking embarrassed. She then took a deep breath and said, "Well, if the person and


    I love each other so much, why don''t we just be together?"


    "What if you two are unable to be together for various reasons, and he must marry another woman?"


    Rndo asked calmly. That was one side of being a part of the royal family that was rarely seen by the


    public. As the heir to the throne, he had fewer choices, which made him frustrated.


    "That only proves that we are not meant to be together," Harper said coolly. "I don''t believe in promises,


    and in love, there are no excuses. Since he agreed to marry another woman, it means that he is not the


    right person for me."


    Rndo stared at Harper with eyes filled with aplex andplicated expression. "If Matthew


    betrays you, will you leave him without hesitation?" he then asked.


    "Definitely." Harper''s reply was so curt and decisive that Rndo couldn''t believe his ears. He had a


    clear idea of how deep and loving Harper and Matthew''s rtionship was, and for him, Harper would


    never leave Matthew. But then she just said that once he betrayed her, she would leave him without


    even thinking about it. Would she be able to really do that?


    "Are you sure about that?" Rndo asked wide-eyed.


    "Maybe I would feel excruciating pain at the beginning, but for me, it''s better to experience short,


    stabbing pains than dull, dragged-out pains. As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. I may hurt, but


    I will be okay." Harper then made a move on the board. "But then I believe that he would never betray


    me."


    Rndo''s eyes darkened. "You trust him very much."


    "I know what kind of person my man is," Harper replied firmly.


    Rndo didn''t say anything more. He knew what kind of person Matthew was. It was not easy for him


    to love someone. Once he started liking someone, he wouldn''t give up until he made her his. The only


    way to make him look for a new love was to erase all his memories. But was it possible for him to forget


    everything? It was surely impossible!


    The silence was broken by one of Rndo''s men. "Your Majesty, I just received some terrible news.


    Lady Lilian is in so much pain right now and the baby might be in danger."
