Chapter 862

With that, Rolando left. Toby was left stunned. He could not move any muscle in his body. He just silently stood there for a long
time before he packed his things and walked out of his cell. Since he was given a chance to live, he certainly would not waste it
doing immoral deeds. 'Rolando, I will prove to you that letting me live is the best decision you've ever made!' he swore inwardly.
When Rolando returned to the palace, Harper was about to rest. Upon seeing Rolando, she smiled at him softly. "Everything
already settled?"
"I thought you would be angry at me for taking advantage of you," Rolando said, his stance relaxed and his smile profound. "I felt
relieved all of a sudden when you asked me such a question."
Seeing that Rolando was still standing by the door, Harper invited him in and asked, "Would you like a cup of warm tea?"
Rolando nodded and came in. "Am I interrupting you?" he asked, suddenly noticing that Harper was apparently about to go to
bed.
"It's all right. What kind of tea would you like to drink?" Harper asked. She promptly walked to the cabinet and found a variety of
tea leaves, which she didn't expect. "Did you stock up on tea leaves for my visit?" she asked, surprised.
"Not really. They're always filled to the brim. But I may have asked some servants to bring in the best ones so that you won't be
disappointed in our selection," Rolando replied.
"It's really good to be an emperor, huh? You can do whatever you want," Harper commented, though she really wasn't thinking it.
She then took a pot, filled it with leaves of her liking, and asked her maid to bring in a small stove so that she could make tea.

"You know what goes well with tea? Music," Rolando said as he laid his eyes on the desk where a zither was located. "We were
awfully disturbed when on that boat trip, weren't we? I was just beginning to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake, as well as
the music, when those thugs came. But since you're making tea, I guess it's time for me to play the zither."

the stove. Rolando picked the zither up, sat down, and with his fingers as white as jade, he gently pulled on the strings. Instantly, hauntingly beautiful music filled the room. As the notes came out one after another, magic seemed to take a hold of everyone, creating a peaceful haven in

first time I've heard His Majesty play the zither. He used to play it very often back when he was alone at the Harmony Palace. Back then, however, whatever he played sounded lonely. This one is very happy. I'm starting to feel happiness just by listening to it," Dan said as if he was in a state of intoxication. It was as if the music was alcohol. Sean took a glance at Rolando, who was focused on playing the zither, and then told Dan, "His Majesty is in a good mood. You're right. He usually plays pieces that are sad. But today's is different. He's happy." Dan silently nodded in

"Her hands move as if they are dancing. She's so elegant and so entrancing to watch."
"I've heard a rumor once that Lady Harper was good for nothing. Now, I honestly think that rumor was only made because
someone was jealous of her," Sean sighed as he shook his head. If Harper was not Matthew's wife, she would have been the
empress of the Great Jade Kingdom. Unfortunately, the God of Destiny made fools of the people.
Since the Bliss Palace was not far from the Harmony Palace, the wind was able to carry the sound of Rolando's music there.
Lilian was the first to perceive it, and it surprised her. She knew that Rolando often played the zither alone, but she always heard
loneliness in his songs. This time, she felt that his song sounded different. It was a melody Rolando had played numerous times
