Matthew, despite his high prestige, kept himself away from the fight for the throne. During the power struggle, Francis was
defeated and Lucas was enthroned. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the dust finally settled and everything was
returning to normal in the Bright Dynasty.
Harper looked at Lucas, who was dressed in the emperor's robe. He no longer looked like a sybarite, but showed the majesty of
an emperor.
"It's said that fine feathers make fine birds. You look like a mighty emperor in this robe. But you'll even look like a beggar if you
change into the beggar's clothes someday," Harper teased.
"Don't make fun of me, Aunt. Lucas, the current emperor of Bright Dynasty, smiled shyly. "Let's go. I'll take you to the Secret
Pavilion."
Only a handful of people knew where the Secret Pavilion of the Bright Dynasty was built. It was guarded by some special forces.
Anyone who wanted to enter the pavilion, except the emperor, had to pay a corresponding serious consequence.
To Harper's surprise, the unknown pavilion was built and hid under water. No one would expect it to be under the lake in the
Imperial Garden, where many people came and went.
"The people who built the pavilion were so thoughtful. But since it's built at the bottom of the lake, it must be moist inside. I'm
afraid it wouldn't be easy to keep some important books," Harper said.
"Don't worry, Aunt. The masterminds had anticipated this when they built the pavilion, so they gave special care to preserve
things. I think your concern should be on convincing the guard of the pavilion to let you in." Lucas led the way in front. The

passage was brilliantly illuminated with many luminous pearls inlaid at a fixed distance on both sides. Due to this, they could
easily navigate their way towards the entrance. "Your Majesty, why did you bring other people here?" Before the three of them
saw the entrance of the pavilion, they heard a cold and confused voice, which seemed to come from the young woman, who was
the chief guard of the pavilion. Lucas stopped and replied, "They want to gain access into the pavilion. So, I agreed to bring them
here to see you." "Go back. No one is allowed to enter it other than His Majesty." The guard's cold voice left no room for

negotiation. If the secrets in the pavilion got leaked, it would even lead to the destruction of a country. That was why the entry
was restricted, and no one other than the emperor could enter it. Even if the empress could enter the pavilion, there were
limitations on the books she could access.
"I have no say in this matter. You should know the two people standing behind me," Lucas said, with the same calm expression
on his face. "If you provoke the two of them, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anything left here to be called as the Secret Pavilion."
"Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?" The woman sounded impatient and annoyed. Being surrounded by her overwhelming
murderous look, and due to the narrow passage, Lucas had nowhere to hide. "Bang!" Nobody knew when Matthew approached
Lucas. In a flash, Matthew blocked the oncoming attack. The woman who
fought with him retreated over ten steps in a row before she could steady herself. On the other hand, Matthew stood there as
motionless as a mountain, and wore a frigid expression on his face.
"Your Highness, that move was not bad!" The woman snorted coldly. "But you'd better go back. I won't allow you to enter the
pavilion."
"His Majesty can enter the pavilion, right?" asked Harper.
"Of course."

"Fine." Harper stretched out her hand and pushed Lucas. "Since she only allows you to enter, you go in. We both will guard
outside. As soon as you are in, set a fire and burn the pavilion!" "How dare you!" The guard trembled with anger. Everything in
the pavilion was priceless. How dare a woman like Harper urge the new emperor to enter it and burn it! Harper snorted. "If others
can't use it, it will be useless to keep it and it will be better to burn it." "How dare you!" The guard made a sudden move, and
Matthew could only see a shadow. In no time, she passed by him,
heading straight for Harper. He didn't expect it and was frightened. The guard had good martial skills and was not bad at fighting.
He was worried that Harper wouldn't be a match for her aggression.
However, before she could get close to Harper, the guard was thrown against the wall by a mysterious force and couldn't move. .

Giving a cold look at that woman who was forced up against the wall, Harper was about to ignore her. But as she passed by the
guard, she saw a jade pendant on her, and quickly took it off from her.
"Give it back to me. That's mine!" Seeing that Harper had taken away her stuff, the guard became anxious.
"Yours?" Harper squinted her eyes. "I don't think so."
"Aunt, this stuff looks very familiar." Lucas took the jade pendant in his hand. "It's a jade pendant belonging to some prince."
"I was wondering how Francis could escape from the Imperial Palace. It turns out that he got the help of this woman." Harper
noticed a hint of panic in the guard's eyes. "Right from its inception, all the people in the Secret Pavilion worked for the emperor.
Lucas, this person has betrayed you and is no longer qualified to be the chief guard of this place."
"Let me deal with her. Aunt, you may go inside and get what you want."
Before walking inside, Harper took a last look at the guard, her face filled with contempt. "It turns out you are actually a
renegade. Get ready to pay the price for what you have done."
The guard's face turned deathly pale and she couldn't believe her sudden turn of fortune. It turned out to be an awful day for her.
First, she couldn't even withstand one light blow from Matthew, and this hurt her pride immensely. Then, she tried to attack
Harper, but until now, she didn't figure out what suppressed her power. Making things worse, she had been exposed right in front
of the new emperor, and might even lose her position as the chief guard of the Secret Pavilion. There was nothing hopeful for her
and what awaited her was a terrible punishment.
