Chapter 860 He Loves Someone Else (Part Two)


    "Aunt," Lilian mumbled, feeling a little embarrassed. "His Majesty doesn''t like to be disturbed when he


    is dealing with business."


    "Alright, alright. I''m just kidding. Don''t worry. It was just a group of rabbles. Your man is safe and


    sound."


    Hearing that, Lilian looked less worried. "Didn''t you say you just wanted to have a walk around the


    pce today? Why did you two go out?"


    "I don''t know, either. Rndo told me that he didn''t want to show me around the pce because I


    could do that on my own, so he wanted to take me to walk around the capital. He even didn''t take a


    guard! We were targeted and ambushed as soon as we went out of the pce." While Harper was


    speaking, it suddenly urred to her that Rndo had done all this on purpose. The reason why he


    had taken herself out of the pce for fun was because he wanted to lure the assassins to show up.


    "Your man was really using me to his heart''s desire, huh," she said, sounding annoyed.


    Lilian was struck dumb by Harper''s sudden change in tone. But then she figured it out very soon.


    Rndo had gone out of the pce with Harper in an attempt to bait his enemies so that he could get


    rid of them all in one. She knew that Rndo must be dealing with the follow-up matter at the


    moment.

    With this, the load on Lilian''s mind vanished in an instant. She had thought that Rndo treated Harper


    too specially, but now she knew that he was just doing that as a tactic to get rid of threats against him.


    "Don''t be angry, Aunt. For His Majesty to have done that, he must have been sure of your safety. He


    won''t put you in danger."


    "I''m not angry because he used me to lure his enemies out. I''m angry only because it seemed like he


    didn''t care about his own life. What if I knew nothing about martial arts and became a burden? What


    would he do?" Harper said angrily.


    "Aunt, how could you be a burden to His Majesty? He must have been familiar with the full extent of


    your skills," Lilian said, holding Harper''s hand. "By the way, when will Uncle Matthew arrive?"


    Harper thought for a while. "Now that you mentioned, I feel like something strange is going on with him.


    He left the imperial capital of the Bright Dynasty several days earlier than me, but he''s still not here.


    Even though I took a shortcut, I shouldn''t have arrived so much earlier than him. I wonder if something


    has happened to him on the way." Harper was worried about Matthew. Also, Patrick was with Diana.


    She forgot to take it with her because she had been too hasty toe to the pce.


    "Don''t worry, Aunt. Uncle is an extremely capable man. Only a very select few people in the world can


    hurt him. He must have been dyed because of something else. I''m sure he''ll arrive very soon," Lilian


    said without hesitation. "Besides, the day of my coronation ceremony is only a few days away. I''m sure


    Uncle is working to arrive here before that."


    "You''re going to be granted the title of empress of the Great Jade Kingdom. Rndo even sent a


    special invitation letter to the Bright Dynasty about that. His Majesty really cares about this event very


    much, so don''t worry. He hasn''t forgotten about you," Harper said in a soft tone. "I know Rndo is


    very outstanding, but you''re not inferior to him. After bing the empress, don''t worry about yourself


    too much. You should be confident and own the role of being the hostess of the pce. You used to be


    free and easy when you were in the Bright Dynasty, but now I think you are restraining yourself too


    hard."


    Lilian slightly frowned at Harper''s words. The fact was not that she restrained herself too much—it was


    that she hadn''t had a chance to be domineering here. Rndo was very considerate, and there was no


    otherdy in the pce, and all the maids and eunuchs were very obedient. The only thing that made


    her dissatisfied was that Rndo had never stayed for the night in her pce.


    "Aunt, I think His Majesty loves someone else." Lilian finally expressed her main concern. "Although he


    treats me very well, I don''t think I will ever own his heart. Someone else already has that honor."


    "Silly girl, whether Rndo loves someone else or not, you are the empress of the Great Jade


    Kingdom and no one else. Besides, you are about to give birth to his first child! Rndo is not a


    heartless and unfaithful man. Otherwise, you would not have pursued him for five years and refused to


    give up on him, right?" Now, it was Harper''s turn to hold Lilian''s hands. "You have to strive for your


    happiness yourself. You shouldn''t rely on Rndo solely for it," she said.


    "I... Can I do that?" Lilian asked, fear bing apparent in her voice.


    "You have gone this far. Why don''t you think you can make it?" Harper asked, finding Lilian''s statement


    absurd. "You once so stubbornly insisted on following your heart. Have you forgotten that? When you


    heard that Rndo was once again living a secr life and became the emperor of the Great Jade


    Kingdom, you pursued him here without any hesitation. Aren''t your courage and sincerity enough to


    make him treat you well?"


    Lilian didn''t respond. What she wanted was not Rndo''s good treatment but his love in return. But


    she just couldn''t say it out loud. Besides, Rndo was so perfect that she couldn''t find any w in him.


    He was gentle and considerate, and he granted her whatever she required. Her pce was equipped


    with all the best suppliers and the most careful staff. Even though she was a princess from a foreign


    country who married Rndo for the purpose of fostering peace between her ce of origin and


    Rndo''s country, nobody dared look down on her.


    Even so, however, she still felt that there was a great gap between her and Rndo. She felt like she


    could never touch him. Worse was that she didn''t know what Rndo wanted or what he was thinking.


    The only thing she could do was to be obedient and not to cause him any trouble.


    "Aunt, can an emperor really love someone sincerely?"


    "Yes!" Harper answered firmly. "Everyone can love sincerely, and emperors are no exception to that."


    "But Father couldn''t!" Lilian said with a bitter smile. "The person he loved the most in his lifetime was


    himself. Not everyone can be sincere in terms of love."


    "You are wrong. Your father also had the capacity to treat someone sincerely. It all went to his favorite


    son, unfortunately," Harper said slowly. The former emperor of the Bright Dynasty was neither a good


    emperor nor a good father, but he had indeed fulfilled his responsibilities as the father of Lucas. In


    order to protect Lucas, he had used all his other sons as shields and disguised Lucas as a yboy. In


    actuality, he had secretly cultivated and trained him as the heir to the throne. No matter how cold-


    blooded a person was, he or she could be sincere. The only difference lied in whom he or she treated


    sincerely.
