Rolando, who at that point was only pretending to be calm, walked as quickly as possible out of anxiety. "Sonia, how come
Harper fainted?"
"I have no idea," Sonia replied, looking shocked and stressed. "Earlier this morning, Lady Lilian came to visit her and invited her
to go to the garden. Lady Harper didn't refuse, and so they went out together. After some time, Lady Harper came back and I
didn't notice anything wrong with her—she has always wanted to be alone, and so I didn't disturb her when she went into her
room to read some books. Then, all of a sudden, I heard something breaking! I quickly rushed in to see what was happening and
that was when I found her lying on the ground, losing consciousness!"
"Did you send for the imperial physician?" Rolando asked calmly. Although the imperial physician might not be helpful at all in

He could feel a bitter feeling taking over his heart. "Harper, I am not..."
Before Rolando could finish his sentence, however, Harper's soft lips were already on his. Rolando shuddered and felt his blood
boiling. His mind was telling him that he must push Harper away, but his body wanted more. However, just as he leaned in for a
more passionate kiss, Harper let go of him. Her arms stayed around his neck as she talked to him in a coquettish tone.
"Matthew, how come you arrived just now? You departed way earlier than I did, but why did you arrive way later than me? Did
anything happen to you on the way?" The expression on her face made her extremely charming, while her wide, bright eyes and
