NovelEnglishSoon enough, Miguel understood what Harper meant when she said that she was taking him to distract them from boredom. If
he had known that it would be like this, he would go back to the capital by himself despite the inconvenience rather than be with
her!
Right then, Diana ripped Miguel's clothes and curiously studied his wound. "Master, why did you use this medicine to heal his
wound? It seems that he was hurt by an arrow and obviously, there was poison in it. Master, what kind of medicine did you use to
detoxify him? The South Kingdom can also have the antidote for this. How about you poison him again? I want to try my
method."
Without moving her eyes away from the book in her hand, Harper said, "Change the medicine for him and bind it up. My poison
is not for your entertainment."
"Yes, master." While she was changing the medicine for Miguel, Diana said, "We saved him. Should we ask for a reward? It cost
us a lot of good medicine to cure his wound."
Upon hearing those words, Harper seemed to agree with her. She thought about it for a while before saying, "You're the one who
covered up his wound. Ask him what you want in return."
"Okay, I want three thousand taels of gold!" Diana exclaimed while she turned around and held up three fingers in front of
Miguel's face.
"Why don't you just rob a bank then?!" Miguel yelled at her, feeling very much annoyed. The woman didn't just ask for three
thousand taels of silver, but gold!
Diana put more pressure on his wound so Miguel gasped because of the pain. "You are such a bitch... Ah..."
Minister Miguel. Or else, the people outside may think that my men have done something to you. Although you look beautiful,
you're actually too feminine. People around me don't like your type," Harper firmly said while she rigidly looked at Miguel. 'Type?'
The word echoed in Miguel's mind. He was petrified, to say the least. Was he a mere object? Was he comparable to clothes that
even Harper described him as just a "type"? "I'm a human being!" he exclaimed. "I know. You can't be in my carriage right now if
you're not a human. One more thing, learn to know your place. Try being humble when you're not at your own home." Harper
didn't want to consider his dignity.
Miguel was enraged by what Harper had said, so he just shut his mouth and remained quiet. He just let Diana go on her own
chatting without responding her. Because he knew that he would be choked to the point of vomiting blood if he said anything
more. After a while, Diana got tired after speaking too much. Harper handed her a cup of tea at the right time. After picking up
the cup and gulping it down, Diana squatted down beside Miguel and continued her babble, which was a great torture to his
ears. As for Harper, she just continued reading her book in silence, turning a blind eye to what was happening in front of her. She
also ignored Diana's voice. Miguel had never wanted to kill someone so badly until then. For the first time, he discovered that the
princess of the South Kingdom was such a talkative woman. If he could, he really wanted to cut off her tongue to make her stop
talking for once.
That actually lasted for three days. After being subjected to that kind of treatment for so long, Miguel could finally move. Harper
was surprised at his ability to recuperate very fast. The injury was so severe, but it was alleviated in just three days. As soon as
Miguel was fully recovered, Diana became a little upset. She couldn't defeat him in terms of martial arts, so she could only argue
with him through words. But as soon as she opened her mouth once again, Miguel pressed on her acupoint, making her unable
to move or speak.
Miguel finally held his head high and lay down in the carriage. He then stared at Harper with a smirk on his face. "Your Highness,
Prince Matthew is not here and we still have a long way to go before arriving at the destination. Do you want to have some fun?"
Squinting at him, Harper asked, "Oh, you want to have some fun?" "Just merely traveling without doing anything is so boring. I
heard that you're good at playing Go. Will you play with me?" In the end, Miguel didn't dare to take the risk and flirt with Harper.
Although she looked gentle, he knew that when it came to a fight,
she could be ruthless. If he answered yes, he was certain that he would be beaten until he wouldn't be able to move for half a
month!
Harper just went back to her book and firmly said, "No."
"Why are you refusing with so much conviction? It's just a game of Go. I heard that in the past, you often played with His Majesty
when he was in the Bright Dynasty. His Majesty rarely praised a person's skills but he did with you. Before he complimented you,
he had only done that to Prince Matthew. I'm eager to have a try. Also, I have been injured and staying in bed for so many days.
How about playing one round with me, even if it's just out of pity?"
Miguel made a proposal while placing the board on the table. Finally, Harper didn't refuse anymore. She grabbed some stones
and asked, ""Prime number or even number?"
With a smile, Miguel uttered, "Prime. Luck is always —"
"It's even number." Miguel wasn't even done speaking when he saw Harper put the stones on the board. She was right, so he
immediately changed his words.
"Not on my side. Your Highness, please go first."
Harper reached for the black stones and took the lead. She put one stone in the middle of the board, and Miguel looked at her
with confusion and astonishment in his eyes. He asked, "Your Highness, are you sure you want to put it here?"
"Do I look like an indecisive person?" Harper stared at Miguel without a bit of emotion. However, he didn't mind and just smiled.
Then he put one stone on the board. Harper was not stupid. Although people who knew how to play Go clearly had the common
sense that the first stone couldn't be placed in the middle, Harper was different. So Miguel was not sure whether she would take
the easy road..
