As there was no ill will between the Great Jade Kingdom and the Wonder Kingdom, Miguel never expected the latter to launch
an attack against the former, specifically him and his army. It came as a shock to him. But what shook him to the core was the
identity of their leader: Harper. Aside from assaulting his men in the middle of the night, she also had her men burn all their food
and supplies.
"Harper Chu!" Miguel hissed through his gritted teeth. Anger coursed through his vein as he looked at their two warehouses that
had been burned to the ground. But while the Wonder Kingdom was never a part of his plans, the reason he brought his troops
to where they were was because he wanted to deter them from involving themselves in the war that was brewing between the
Great Jade Kingdom and the Bright Dynasty. He had planned everything in advance, but Harper swooped in just like that and
ruined it all.
To be fair, Harper and Kile's friendship was not a new discovery for him. But he never thought Kile would hand over his army to
Harper and basically allow her to stir up trouble between the Wonder Kingdom and the Great Jade Kingdom. Would the emperor
of the Wonder Kingdom approve of what Kile did?
"My Lord, what should we do? Nothing is left of our supplies. Worse, no one would be able to deliver us new ones on such short
notice. If we decide to take on the Wonder Kingdom right now, I'm afraid we will be no match for them," one of the soldiers
reported.
Miguel had seen this coming from a mile away. Frustration and self-pity fueled his anger as he knew that he could not help his
troops. Without any other choice left, he ordered, "Retreat to the place thirty miles away. We need to ask for provisions from the

surrounding ten cities before we can continue with our plans."
"Yes, My Lord."
Standing on top of the city's watch tower, Harper looked on as her enemies retreated like waves going back to the sea. An evil

she thought. 'But he isn't a person from the Wonder Kingdom.' With that, she turned to Kile and asked, "Do you trust him to guard the Mountain Pass? He isn't one of your citizens." "Just the fact that he is your brother makes me trust him," Kile said with a knowing smile. "Besides, he won't be here all alone. I will ask one other person to stand guard with him." "Wow. May I ask who?" asked Harper, surprised and intrigued. Kile pouted and looked in another direction. Harper followed suit, and she saw the person he was referring to, though her facial features had been distorted. "Princess Wanda!" A profound smile blossomed on Kile's lips. "You know me, Harper. I'm no good at scheming. I had to take her

me," he explained. As he said this, he looked very proud. Wanda Murong was his sister and shared the same mother with him.
He loved her. Although she had a fragile body, she was very smart and always helped him by providing him with the best and
most appropriate ideas. If it weren't for her, it wouldn't have been possible for him to grow up to be a mature man.
"What? Are you sure you will let Howard take care of her?" Harper asked in surprise.
"Stop worrying, Harper. Have a little trust in your brother!" Kile said as he winked at her. "There is literally nothing my sister can't
do. I know your brother will listen to whatever she says as she has the best ideas. So I'm not worried about her one bit. If your
brother tries any funny business, her guards would easily disable him."
