Darren didn't respond. Although he was with Harper for such a short time, he thought that they were close friends. The word
"like" wasn't enough to express his feelings for her, but he wasn't sure if he had fallen in love with her. It was rather complicated.
He was eager to see her, but at the same time, he didn't want to see her. So he didn't know what his exact feeling towards her
was. He couldn't understand himself. It was all too chaotic for him. Dealing with his emotions was in fact, a struggle.
"Maybe," he briefly replied. He wasn't lying. He wasn't sure whether he really liked her or not, whether he loved her or not. But it
didn't matter at all. She was now another man's wife and it seemed like they loved each other very much. He had no other choice
but to silently bury his love in his heart.
Meanwhile, Harper had been silent since she and her companions left Phoenix City. Howard suspiciously looked at her. He then
briefly looked at Diana while he swallowed what he wanted to say. After leaving Phoenix City, the twelve secret guards hid
themselves once again, leaving only Howard and Diana with Harper.
"Master, what's wrong? You're so quiet." As a very talkative person, Diana, who didn't look like the princess of the South
Kingdom at that time, kept on trying to start conversations at random while they were on the way. But even though she had
spoken so much, Harper wasn't responding at all.
After some time, Harper finally sighed and said, "Well, I should have at least visited him."

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Diana curiously asked, as if she was so eager to discover the hidden secret. Howard was
also interested, but he wouldn't dare to ask Harper. Then, he kept on wondering who the man on the gate tower of the Phoenix
City was.

that she wants to take over your power. I'm afraid that she might have taken over the South Kingdom by now." "That's impossible. The Holy Maiden can't participate in any official affairs," Diana stated while shaking her head. "The Starry Palace already collapsed. There's no Holy Maiden in the South Kingdom anymore. Perhaps, the fall of the palace has given her a great opportunity to kill you. Otherwise, I just don't understand why she wanted to kill you," Harper

Jade Kingdom. I didn't expect that it's also possible in the South Kingdom," Harper commented. "If Catherine is aiming for the throne of the South Kingdom, what would you do?" Harper asked while

she can have it. I don't care about the title that much."
Upon hearing what Diana had to say, Harper had a completely new perspective about her. Harper didn't expect that Diana would
say that because she thought that Diana would simply say that Catherine would never get the throne.
"Don't you want to be the queen of the South Kingdom?"
"What's so good about being a queen? You have a bunch of officials constantly telling you what you have to do and what you
can't do. As a queen, you have to sleep late at night and get up early to handle numerous official affairs. It's like a constant cycle

a princess, you can go to brothels, gamble, pick a fight, or pay a visit to other countries. Do you think a queen can do all of this kind of fun stuff?" Diana sharply said. With a smile, Harper responded, "No, I don't think so. I actually agree with you. Being a prince is more fun than being an emperor. It's a tough task to be an emperor.
