Ignoring her complaint, the Holy Maiden casually sat down in the main seat and looked at Diana with a cold expression on her
face. "Princess Diana, what brings you here?"
Diana gritted her teeth with a ferocious look and responded, "I heard that you invited Prince Matthew and his wife to visit the
Starry Palace. Is that true?"
"I don't think I need to report this to you. Whether it's true or not, I don't think it has anything to do with you. Please don't fret
about matters that don't concern you. You can leave now if you don't have any other questions. I have guests to entertain and I'm
very busy," the Holy Maiden perfunctorily replied.
"Catherine, please keep in mind that you're my elder sister!" Diana exclaimed in anger. She was becoming more and more
anxious. Now that Matthew and Harper were in the Starry Palace, it would be an excellent chance for her. As long as the Holy
Maiden, Catherine, would help her in detaining Matthew, Diana was sure that it would be much easier to deal with Harper.
However, Catherine grew angry. Her eyes became colder and colder while she stared at Diana. "You can't say things like that.
Diana, you should remember that as the Holy Maiden, I don't have any relatives or friends anymore. I'm an orphan!"
Diana was rendered speechless when she heard that. Catherine was only telling the truth. The day when she became the Holy
Maiden, she was no longer her elder sister. However, they still had the same blood running in their veins. So, Dianna insisted
that they were still sisters.
"Please, sister, I need your help!" Diana started begging. She had finally figured out that Catherine wouldn't help her if she
demanded for help forcefully. So she decided to try another way. By pretending to be very pitiful, she was attempting to knock
into Catherine's heart.
Catherine, on the other hand merely sneered, "Humph. You need my help? You must be kidding me. There is nothing in this
world that I can do to help you. And even if I can, I would never do it. I'm not going to say it again. Leave, right now."

Emphasizing on her last three words, Catherine firmly and slowly told her sister off.
"Catherine! I'm showing you kindness and this is how you're treating me! You should see it as an honor! Don't test my patience
now!" Diana warned in a stern tone. She was so furious that her face turned red. In her opinion, they were still sisters and what
she was trying to do was for the sake of the South Kingdom. So she couldn't understand why Catherine was so opposed to her.

On the contrary, there were so many emotions on Diana's face—disappointment, sadness, but most of all anger. She became

physical aggression, making use of their martial arts skills. "I would have never expected in a million years for the Holy Maiden to be quite good at fighting. I mean, she did look so gentle and even fragile at times. Diana has a bad temper, so it affects her performance in a fight easily. And now that Francis has become her husband, I'm kind of curious whether she has control over him," Harper commented while her eyes went wide at the sight of the two women fighting. When Matthew heard Harper's remark about the relationship between Francis and Diana without any pressure or emotional burden, he was very happy. Francis had tried to take Harper away from him again and again. But now, his wife Francis had been obsessing with was commenting on the man's personal life with another woman in a mocking tone. What was more, she had grown to dislike Francis very much. With this in mind, Matthew immediately felt that it was so good to have one fewer competitor. They continued to watch the two women who were fighting very fiercely. Harper noticed that Diana did not show any mercy with her every strike while the Holy Maiden was very kind. She even avoided attacking Diana's vital parts. If she also attacked with all her might, Harper was afraid that Diana would have been

With the spectacle in front of her, Harper became lost in her thoughts. She pondered whether the Holy Maiden was being so
considerate because tradition was compelling her not to hurt any member of the South Kingdom's royal family. So even though
Diana came barging in to provoke her, she still found it in her to tolerate the woman. But judging from the ruthless expression on
Diana's face, Harper felt that she was so determined to kill the Holy Maiden right there and then.
All of a sudden, Diana blurted out, "Catherine, stop being so stubborn! We both know that if it weren't you who hindered me, it's
me who would have become the Holy Maiden!" What she just said surprised everyone in the hall except for the Holy Maiden.
Harper had not expected that there was such a history between the two.
However, what Diana said only irritated the Holy Maiden even more. She was already at her wit's end and that was the last
straw. She decided not to show any mercy in the fight anymore. With her full strength, she attacked Diana, and not long after, the
latter was extremely injured. Lying on the floor, Diana glared at the Holy Maiden with so much resentment.

tears. In a very loud voice, she then asked, "Do you think I was willing to be the Holy Maiden? Do you think I wanted this? How dare you use that against me! Go back and ask your dear father why I was selected but not you!" Catherine refused to call the king of the South Kingdom as her

She had never been rude to anyone. She would just smile a little while being so courteous to everyone. No one could find any mistake in her behavior. Their father and the commoners all believed that
