In order for the guards outside to be able to come into the Harmony Palace and extinguish the fiercely raging fire, Miguel
destroyed the array set up by Harper. Soon after entering, the guards found the palace's maids and eunuchs in a secluded hall.
They all passed out, as if someone drugged them or targeted their sleep acupuncture points.
"Your Majesty, please spare me!" one pleaded as soon as he came around.
Miguel took a look at the man and his face darkened. "Who knocked you out?" he asked.
"Princess Harper," answered all the servants who just regained their consciousness. "After she called us in, she attacked us,
targeting our acupuncture points... And that's the last thing I remember!"
"Your Majesty..." Miguel looked worriedly at Rolando, who was looking like a mess as his hair had been singed at the ends.
"Princess Harper... has escaped."
Rolando clenched his fists tightly. Of course Harper would escape! Despite everything that he had done to deter her from trying
to leave, he should have known that she would still try, especially considering how strong-headed she was. Was she the one
who created the array so that it would cover her tracks and prevent people from entering the Harmony Palace?
"Lock the gates of the city and make sure that no one leaves! Search every house in this goddamn capital and don't stop until
you've found Harper!" The expression on Rolando's face was horrifying—it was obvious that his anger had already consumed his

"I'll lead the guards to look for them." The Imperial Palace was flooded with bright lights and hordes of guards were stationed everywhere. The servants were extra careful as they were afraid of causing more trouble. When the news of the Harmony

There are many ways to exit this city," Matthew said calmly. The moment the escape was made known to Rolando, he was sure that Rolando would know he was the one who had taken Harper away. With how

cautious. There was no way for them to sneak around, so now, their goal was to get underground and navigate their way out to
safety.
"We don't have much time left. Fred, tell your people to disguise as us and walk towards the gates of the city. We need to get
them distracted so that we'd have an opportunity to look for a way out."
"No need," Harper interjected, shaking her head. "Our forces are few, so we can't lose anyone at this time. All of us will head to
our base and then escape this place together. We just have to get out of the capital, because if we do, it will be almost
