"What do you mean by that?" she asked after staying silent for a few seconds.
Rolando smiled in response. "As I said, Harper: I want you to be my empress, and I will do anything for that to happen. I know
that Matthew is now in the Imperial Capital. He wants to take you away from here, but that isn't an easy task. But let me ask you
one thing, though—which do you think is more important to him: the whole world or the one he loves?"
Harper didn't answer because what Rolando said troubled her immensely. If she remembered correctly, Rolando was supposed
to hold the coronation ceremony tomorrow. 'What is he going to do?' she just thought silently.
When he realized that Harper had stopped being responsive to any of his advances, Rolando decided to leave. After he had
gone, Forsythia bemoaned with resentment, "What should we do, My Lady? It seems like he is set on making you his woman
while Prince Matthew isn't by your side! I think it's better if we escape this place as soon as possible!"
"Escape?" Harper repeated, laughing almost hysterically. "There are so many guards outside, Forsythia. It's impossible that we
beat them all. There is nothing we can do—we can't get out of here."
"Even if I can't defeat all of them, I will still fight for you!" Forsythia said with a determined face.
Harper had no choice but to smile helplessly at Forsythia's unparalleled stubbornness and dedication to her. "Don't be ridiculous,
Forsythia. Matthew is still alive, yet there is already someone who wants to snatch his wife away. Of course I wouldn't want that,
but if he wouldn't do anything, I'd be incredibly disappointed. In that case, I don't think marrying Rolando is a bad idea."

"My Lady! What are you talking about? I doubt Prince Matthew can remain calm if he knows what's happening!" Forsythia said.
Even though she had already been serving Harper for a long time, she still considered Matthew as one of her masters. What was

to be taken away by Rolando. "I know. Of course he wouldn't. We'll just wait for him to come. What's the rush anyway?" Harper said calmly. From what Rolando had said, Harper guessed that he was planning something for her that would put her in a difficult situation. 'But what would he do?' she thought. Despite thinking hard, she couldn't think of anything. "My Lady! We should at least tell His Highness that Emperor Rolando is trying to make you his empress!" Forsythia said. She was starting to feel

Matthew is very capable. How could he not know what's happening here?" "I want to believe that, but I still want security that His Highness knows the bad ideas Emperor Rolando has in mind!" It was obvious that Forsythia wasn't being

"I think he is going to grow furious and Emperor Rolando and his men will be doomed," Forsythia answered at once. She was
well aware of Matthew's temper and she was sure that he would show no mercy to anyone who was involved in this issue.
Harper laughed, seemingly to signal that she was only poking fun at Forsythia. She really wasn't sweating about the oncoming
coronation ceremony. When she was reading the Heavenly Book and was inheriting the power of the Qin Clan, she found herself
poisoned. It was something she didn't recognize when it had happened. She had a special body. Minor poisons such as those
that made people fall lethargically asleep and aphrodisiacs wouldn't pose much threat to her. But the poison inside her at that

be harmless, Harper was still afraid that if it came into effect, it would kill her. What was worse, the poison was accumulated near her elixir field. She then began to recall everything that had happened after she entered the Imperial Palace of the Great Jade Kingdom. If there was nothing weird about the food and drink she had ingested, how had she been poisoned? Was there a venomous insect in her body? If yes, then when did she get in touch such insect? Suddenly, Harper
