Harper took a glance at the female matchmaker behind Barry and said with a smile, "The betrothal presents are ready?"
"Yes. Your Highness, please have a look," Barry said while he handed a box that he had been holding to Harper. She stretched
out her hands to take it. To her surprise, the box was so heavy that she almost dropped it.
"It seems like you came from a very wealthy family," Harper teased him. She opened the box and saw several deeds for different
lands, some banknotes, a few pieces of jewelry, and some gold and silver ingots. She figured that Barry must have kept all the
rewards that Matthew gave him.
Barry's face looked a little bit red. "Your Highness, will these be enough?" he nervously asked.
With the box in her hands, Harper walked towards her house and called out, "Anabel!"
"Your Highness, I'm here."
"Go and ask Nina to come here."
"Yes, Your Highness," Anabel answered while she immediately left with so much excitement to look for Nina. For quite a while,
Barry had been standing at the gate of the Phoenix House with a matchmaker by his side. So everyone knew that he was there
to give the betrothal presents.
When the matchmaker entered the receiving room, she began her job. She smiled brightly and said to Harper, "Your Highness,
Guard Barry is a handsome man, and Miss Nina is very beautiful. They're a perfect couple made by God. Guard Barry said that
in his lifetime, he wouldn't want to marry anybody else unless it's Nina, so I hope you can fulfill their wish and allow them to get
married."
With a calm smile, Harper knocked on the box with her fingers. For a while, she didn't utter a single word. Upon seeing that, the

matchmaker couldn't tell what decision Harper would make, so she couldn't do anything but awkwardly smile and stand aside.
She thought to herself, 'Lady Harper is a tough nut to crack. It seems like things won't go that smoothly today.'
When Nina finally came into the room, she briefly glanced at Barry before bowing to Harper. She then greeted her, "Your
Highness."

"So, are you willing to marry him, live the rest of your life with him, share the joys and sorrows with each other, and never give up on each other, no matter what will happen?" Harper asked in a very gentle voice, devoid of any judgment. But everyone who heard her couldn't help but feel a little intimidated. "Yes, I am willing to do all of that with Barry." "That's great," Harper remarked. Then she shifted her eyes back to Barry and asked, "Barry, if I demand that once you marry Nina, you can never have a concubine in this lifetime and you can't divorce

"Yes!" Barry immediately answered without the least bit of hesitation. He then added, "Nina's place in my heart is too big to
accommodate any other woman. Please believe me when I say that I don't really want to marry anyone else."
"If someone forces you to have a concubine, what will you do?"
"I will never concede!"
"You will never concede even if it's Prince Matthew who will force you to do so?" Harper asked with utmost seriousness while
staring at him intently. She wanted to know if Barry had the ability to resist people with power.
"His Highness is my master. I wouldn't dare to disobey his orders. But I won't let Nina down either. In such a case, I wouldn't be
