"He said that the South Kingdom wants to be allied with the Wonder Kingdom," the imperial envoy stressed in a whisper. "You
should at least say something in response."
"Can't you do that in my stead?" Kile stated in an annoyed tone as he cast a glare at him. Again, he kept fixing his eyes on

Lance's eyes swept across the hall. He shifted his eyes from Kile to Harper. Then, he looked at Matthew and said, "Prince
Matthew, the Bright Dynasty and the South Kingdom are neighbors. We have gotten along well all these years and I hope we will
remain like that in the future as well."
Matthew snuck a sideway look at Francis, who was next to Diana. He had wanted to gauge his reaction, but the man's

The envoy had been on the verge of tears because of Kile's antics. He cast a grateful look at Miguel before passing Kile a cup of
tea. Kile took the tea and drank it up to relieve the pain. Then he helplessly glanced at Harper again.
"Aiden, I think Lady Harper is really gorgeous," he murmured.
The envoy named Aiden felt so embarrassed at Kile's flirty comment about Harper. She almost killed him. But he still thought she
was gorgeous! There must be something wrong with his brain. Did he need to be taught a lesson or be abused by her again?
