NovelEnglish"Perhaps, Rolando does want Lilian to be his empress. Lilian must be very happy. She's been in love with him for so many years.
Now, she's finally going to be his lawful wife. As the saying goes, 'Nothing is impossible to a willing heart'." Harper sighed.
Matthew opened his mouth, but said nothing in response. Rolando had saved Harper before. He even acquired a crippled arm
for doing so. If he insisted on speaking ill of Rolando, he knew that it would backfire on him.
"Shall we go to the Great Jade Kingdom?" Matthew asked instead.
Harper's eyes lit up. "Of course we should. Aside from attending the wedding, I happen to be very interested in the contents
recorded in the Heavenly Book which Rolando has been keeping."
"Rolando will not give it to you so easily," Matthew reminded her.
"He can just show it to me," Harper plainly said. If Rolando was willing to show her the contents of the book, then she would be
able to know the entire procedure of the cultivation process.
Matthew pondered about it for a while before saying, "On the day that you went to the palace of the South Kingdom, did the
queen tell you anything useful?"
Harper nodded. Indeed, the queen told her a lot of valuable information. "She told me that the Heavenly Book is very valuable to
me. I have to know what's recorded in the last one."
After a moment's silence, Matthew said, "I'll find a way to get the last one for you."
and his are neck and neck. But I guess it will be all right if I borrow it for a quick browse." Matthew didn't answer her right away. If
Harper wanted to have a look, Rolando would certainly agree to that. But he felt uncomfortable with allowing Harper to see
Rolando. The man was cunning and determined. To get the Heavenly Book of the Bright Dynasty, he hid in the kingdom for five
years and even disguised himself as a monk for a long time. It was almost impossible for Matthew to take away the Heavenly
Book from him. "Rolando is not easy to get along with, so don't underestimate him," Matthew stated with great concern. "Darling,.
I will never dare to underestimate him. He left his Great Jade Kingdom for five years and worked as a monk in our Bright Dynasty
for another five years. Despite that, he was able to quickly take control of the Great Jade Kingdom and ascend
the throne. It can be said that he is very powerful and has never given up command over his kingdom. Besides, his prime
minister, Miguel is a tough man." Harper was reminded of the great hostility that she got from Miguel when they were in the
South Kingdom. "Miguel..." Upon hearing the name of the man, Matthew frowned so deeply. It was only natural for Matthew to
react this way. Miguel was a person who was rather hard to predict and deal with.
Harper hesitated while she spoke. "He... It seems like he's very hostile to me. When we were in the South Kingdom, it was the
first time for us to meet each other. So I don't know why he was so cold towards me even though we hadn't encountered each
other before."
There seemed to be a sparkle in Matthew's eyes, but Harper didn't notice it. She was still preoccupied, trying to think of a reason
why Miguel would act in such a way towards her. She looked at Matthew and thought about everything she remembered about
Miguel. The more she tried to think about it, the expression in her eyes became more and more playful.
about?" Harper asked with so much interest. "I don't have the same kind of preference as that man!" Matthew could tell from his
wife's expression that whatever she was thinking about, it wasn't good. He didn't know anything about Miguel or his preference
towards a lover. But Matthew was certain that he himself preferred women and was definitely not gay. Harper wore a frisky smile
on her face when she softly said, "Darling, I haven't said anything. Why are you acting like that?"
Matthew pinched Harper's nose. "I can read your mind. As long as I see your eyes, I will know what you're thinking about. Are
you thinking that Miguel is gay and I'm his ideal partner? That's why he was so hostile towards you because you're my wife."
Harper picked up the teacup and placed it by her mouth to cover her embarrassment after Matthew just exposed her thoughts.
"I'm usually good at reading situations, except for this one. I just don't understand why he was so hostile to me. One thing's for
sure; Miguel is gay and as for the object of his affections, that person is certainly..."
"Rolando!" Matthew supplied without hesitation. "Think about it. When Rolando left the Great Jade Kingdom for such a long time,
Miguel has been there all the time. Yet, as soon as Rolando came back, he could control the kingdom in no time. Miguel must
have made a great contribution to that. I think that Miguel's hostility towards you must have been because of Rolando!"
Confused, Harper asked, "Because of Rolando? Why would you think that?"
"Rolando has always kept himself away from women. He looks so gentle and kind. Have you ever seen any woman close to
him?" Matthew patiently guided Harper to the idea that Rolando was gay. Even if Rolando was not so, Matthew would let Harper
think that he was. He even wanted this thought to be deeply rooted in her mind so that whenever she saw Rolando, she would
be reminded of his gay preference.
Harper thought for a while and realized that there wasn't any woman who had been able to be close to Rolando. Even she had
always stood three steps away from him. Upon careful thought, she realized that the only one time when she was able to
approach him was only because he was injured and she had to save him and change the medicine for his wound. After that, it
seemed like she had never been close to him again.
