Crash!!! Francis vigorously threw the teacup on the table. Within seconds, it broke into a thousand pieces, creating the most vivid
noise in the room. The tea water spilled out and part of it splashed on Diana's clothes. But she didn't get upset. She merely
wiped off the water drops on her garments and asked again, "What? Am I right? Are you annoyed because of what I just said?"
"Diana, mind your words and that attitude of yours. Don't forget that we're partners and that's it. I don't like it when others
comment on my personal affairs," Francis reminded her while his eyes darkened. He had never denied his feelings for Harper.
He also knew that Harper didn't like him. But it didn't matter to him. In his mind, he would be satisfied if he could have her by his
side. He wasn't that greedy as to expect that she would fall in love with him as well. As long as he physically owned her, it would
be more than enough.
"Of course. I haven't forgotten that our relationship is strictly business. But don't forget that you're now my husband," Diana
whispered right at Francis' ear upon getting close enough to him. However, Francis only frowned and pushed her away.
"I don't like being touched by anyone," Francis apathetically stated. Then he stood up and left without looking back.
Looking at his receding figure, Diana sneered, "You don't like being touched by anyone? What a joke! We know that's just an
excuse. Even though that woman doesn't even have a bit of affection for you and she wants to end your life, you keep on
guarding your feelings for her like a precious child. How ridiculous it is that a royal prince can't get over a woman!"
"Your Highness, shall we —" a maid proposed with so much hesitation.
But before she could finish her words, Diana interrupted, "No, we don't need to do anything. I'd like to see him hurt and bleed
while he willingly drives himself into a corner. It is actually boring to see him being cold and indifferent all day. He doesn't like to

be touched, right? Good! I'd like to see if he doesn't like to be touched by anyone or he doesn't like to be touched by everyone
else except for Harper!"
Meanwhile, a young woman was passing through the streets of the South Kingdom. The people on both sides made way for her
and even bowed as she passed by them. Without looking at them, the woman just walked forward. Her goal was very clear. She

the Worship Ceremony. Because of this, it took them a long time to come back to the inn. Just then, they saw a beautiful woman coming towards the direction of the inn. Harper couldn't help but curiously ask,

the open. She must admit that she was a really beautiful lady with a delicate face. Harper asked again, "What's the identity of this Holy Maiden?" "I don't know

"The Starry Palace?" Harper repeated. Somehow, the name of the place struck a chord in her. "It's a little strange. The place
where the Holy Maiden lives is called the Starry Palace. For some reason, I just don't think they fit each other."
"Yes, it is a little strange. Except for the Holy Maiden and King Lance, no one is allowed to enter the library of the Starry Palace.
The status of the Holy Maiden is only second to the king. Besides, the Holy Maiden is more skillful at venomous insect tricks than
Diana. The essential difference is that Diana uses them to harm people while the maiden uses them to save people. It could be
said that the Holy Maiden has a much greater reputation than the king," Matthew answered, still at a slow pace.
Harper had fought with Diana before. She was well aware that Diana's poisoning skills were quite cruel and deadly. However,
Diana had failed many times because Harper was actually immune to any poison. If it were someone else, Diana would have
