Harper's words were so shocking to Miguel that his mouth fell open and his face turned pale. When he came to his senses,
however, he snapped at her, saying, "Your Highness, please mind your words!"
"Mind my words?" Harper sneered. "I think it's you who should pick your words carefully."
Miguel opened his mouth to respond, but before he was able to, Harper had already interrupted him. "Lilian is Rolando's
concubine and she is pregnant with his child. Yet, I don't see him being as panicked as you are right now. You are just a courtier
but you really tried to break into the Imperial Palace, question me, and even threaten me just to save Lilian? People who don't
know you may think she's your wife and her baby is yours!"
"Your Highness! Please, stop speaking such nonsense!" Miguel was panicking. A significant number of guards were stationed
around the Harmony Palace, and after they heard the things that Harper was saying, they wouldn't hesitate to tell it to everyone
they knew. He had a notorious reputation for being offensive to a lot of other courtiers, and so he was sure that they were
eagerly waiting for his downfall!
Moreover, even though Rolando favored him, it wouldn't make any difference to his case—in the Great Jade Kingdom, it was
considered a crime for someone to have an affair with any concubine of the king! He would be executed without being given a
chance to explain himself!
"Nonsense? Am I talking nonsense?" Harper stretched her arm out and immediately, Forsythia handed her a cup of hot, freshly

brewed tea. After taking a sip of it, she asked Miguel, "Tell me. Am I really talking nonsense here?"
"Your Highness, why are you so heartless? Lady Lilian is your niece. As her aunt, why don't you want to help her? She will be

gratitude! How can I bear the weight of such a coveted thing?" Miguel took a step forward, but Fernando blocked his way. From a distance, he began to beg, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive Lady Lilian! She didn't know what she was doing! Please save her and her unborn baby, I

If I ask you to kill Rolando, will you go kill him?" "His Majesty is our emperor, and you know that I can't kill him!" "If you can't do that, then why are you telling me that you'd do everything I want you to do? Who's talking nonsense now?" Harper sneered. "When Lilian needed my help, she came to me and I

she sent me Fantasy, the poison. I'm sorry but I don't need gratitude from either of you two. There is no way I would respond to
the crime that she did against me with kindness. Actually, she's lucky I haven't thought of exacting revenge against her."
And with that, Harper rose from her seat to leave. Miguel couldn't bear just watching her go, and so he once again tried to get
past the guards. Fernando, however, still wouldn't let him get close to her. "Your Highness, Lady Lilian made a mistake, but her
baby is innocent! For the sake of her child, please save her!" he shouted desperately.
"Innocent?" Harper stopped. "This world is full of innocent people, Miguel. When two countries go head to head in a battle, who

the consequences of the decisions made by the ruling class!" "Your Highness, just tell me how I can make you say yes!" Miguel knew that time was running out. If he failed to get Harper to Lilian as soon as possible, Lilian would be in grave danger. Hearing this somehow made Harper feel suspicious about the true
