When Rolando woke up, he couldn't see Harper anywhere, so he immediately panicked. "Is there anyone here?"
Hearing his voice, Harper who was taking a nap in the outer room, got up, and went to him. "How are you feeling?" she asked.
With one foot on the ground, Rolando had already thrown away the quilt. He felt relieved at the mere sight of Harper who was
approaching him. "I thought you were gone."
Harper poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Rolando. "It is true that I want to leave, but I can't do that unless your men are
willing to let me go."
Rolando took the cup of tea in his hands without saying anything. He understood why Harper wanted to leave the Imperial
Palace. But he also knew that he just couldn't let her go at the moment.
In a soft voice, Rolando asked, "Can you stay in the palace with me for a few more days? If you want the Heavenly Book, I can
give it to you."
Harper didn't say a word in response. Since Rolando had suddenly changed his attitude, she couldn't figure out what he was
thinking. So she had no other choice but to remain silent. The Harmony Palace was surrounded by multiple layers of protection
with numerous guards in each layer, so not even flies could enter. For Harper, getting out of the palace was as difficult as
reaching heaven.
"Your Majesty, I just got news from the Bliss Palace that Lady Lilian is not feeling well." Sean's voice came from the outside.

Rolando raised his head to look at Harper with complex expressions in his eyes. After a while, he turned away. Harper was right
when she said that he had numerous ways to detoxify himself. After all, there were countless maids in the palace, as well as
Lilian. However, he didn't want to do that. He didn't want to touch any other woman.
"I'm leaving now," he simply said without answering her question.
"Rolando, are we still friends?" Harper asked in a low voice while fiddling with an empty cup in her hand.
Rolando didn't answer the question either. What he wanted was much more than that. He didn't want to be just her friend. The
reason why he had restrained himself was that he wanted to achieve his goal. In order to do that, he didn't mind constraining

he didn't answer Harper's question. Only time would provide her the answer. In the Bliss Palace, Lilian had smashed everything she could get her hands to. Naturally, the entire palace was in a mess.
