"Did you ever love Harper?" The question echoed in Francis' mind. It was one he had asked himself a thousand times in the
past. Of course, he had loved her. Her smile alone could drive him crazy enough to do anything she asked for. He would never

"Yes, I did," Francis admitted. "I loved her and hoped she would reciprocate my feelings. I was eager for it. But you know what?
All I got out of this longing was disappointment, despair, pain, and grief. I lost all hope by the end. I had a hard time engulfed in
despair. It was agonizing. I ended up wanting to kill her, even tried to do it, but still..."

said. She then stood up and continued, "Well, I came here to tell you that everything is set. Becky will help us as long as you

promise not to hesitate. The smallest stumble will lead to unbearable consequences for us all."
"Don't worry. I will send her to the nether world myself in the Worship Ceremony tomorrow," Francis said with a determined look

"Yes, Your Highness." Owen took his orders and left. He was thinking the same thing. Now that Harper had arrived in the South
Kingdom, he would never allow her to leave. He wanted her to pay for hurting his master.
A figure lurked on a gloomy street as Owen took his leave. Looking at Princess Diana's brightly lit mansion, the figure sighed,
"You've chosen the wrong path at last." Then the voice faded away into the darkness.
