"Of course I'll go with you. I'll be worried about you if you go there by yourself. It's too dangerous there. No one would be able to
help you if I weren't there," he slowly said.
"Then, that's it. We're going to the Starry Palace together. Thank you very much, my escort," Harper stated with a chuckle.
"It's my pleasure, my Harp," Matthew replied.
The next morning, the keeper woke Harper and Matthew up very early and urged them to take a bath and change clothes. After
that, he asked them to burn incense and pray before leaving for the Starry Palace.
They followed everything that the keeper told them and after a while, they were finally on their way with his guidance.
The Starry Palace was built on the top of the Holy Mountain. From foot to top, the mountain was heavily guarded. When they

if it's true. But I haven't seen a divine thunder and lightning splitting people. That must be an eye-opener," Harper stated with so
much interest.
"It's just a lie. There's no punishment from heaven at all," Matthew responded with a sneer.

"Do you want me to punish you on the bed tonight? Because you know, I would really love to do that," He asked while giving her a warning look. He didn't like it whenever she would say things like that, insinuating that he had eyes for women other than her. The smile on Harper's face froze. She then touched her nose with embarrassment.
