They put stones on the board one after the other. However, Miguel was becoming a little slower in taking his turn. And Harper
was a little impatient, so she picked up the book beside her and continued reading while playing the game with him.
When Miguel saw that, he turned ghastly pale. He didn't know what to say. He had been trapped in a little bit of trouble because
of Harper's move, and he didn't know how to find a way out. In each of his turn, he would think for a long time before placing a
stone. But Harper would drop one so quickly that it seemed like she didn't need time to think. It was making the self-proclaimed
"expert in Go" feel hot on his face.
"I surrender!" Miguel threw the stone back into the container, feeling a little upset. "Your Highness, are you even a human? You
weren't concentrating on the game but you even cornered me! And I considered myself to be an expert in Go!"
Harper glanced at Miguel frostily. "If Rolando played this game with me, he wouldn't be like you."
"His Majesty has been playing Go since he was a child. How can I ever compare to him?"
"Well then, Zack wouldn't play this game like you did."
"The young grand secretary of your nation?" The expression on Miguel's face turned dark. He was the new prime minister of the
Great Jade Kingdom, and Zack was the grand secretary of the Bright Dynasty. Obviously, what Harper just said indicated that he
was as capable as Zack.
"You know, everyone has their own strengths. I am not good at playing Go. Most especially, I am inferior to the ones who are
especially good at tricks and manipulation."

"So did you acquire your current position just because of your charming face?" Harper sarcastically asked. But her words made
Miguel furious, as if she had stepped on his injured foot.
"Harper Chu, don't push me too far!" "What if I do? What are you going to do to me?" Harper asked without even raising her
head to look at him. Miguel felt defeated right away. At his prime, he was able to go against Harper, but he might not be a match
for her at that moment. What was more, there were a lot of secret guards outside. Once they received a command from Harper,
they would pick at his bones as if he were a mere animal.

"How long will it take to get to the capital?" Miguel lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. "This is Fancy City, not far
from the capital." Harper turned her head to look as well. She saw the prosperous city with people coming and going, greeting
each other with a smile. "Rolando is such a good emperor," she delightedly said. "Of course, His Majesty is always a wise man.
He is very talented in leading the country. He is also an intelligent and sensible emperor. Someone like him only comes to the
Great Jade Kingdom once in a thousand years." Miguel actually felt lucky to serve the kind of emperor that Rolando was. Harper
nodded. "The Great Jade Kingdom is really doing amazing under his leadership."
"If it wasn't for the fatuous late emperor, your nation wouldn't have been tormented by such troubles. Although Lucas is talented
in all respects, there are far too many hidden dangers. He is determined to change the situation, but he might not have enough
power to do that."
"Sometimes we need to do things with utmost determination and without even a drop of hesitation," Harper said slowly. Lucas
didn't have the will to make decisions with urgency and conviction. But fortunately, Zack was with him. The Bright Dynasty would
become stronger sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
"Before we enter the capital, let me go. Your Highness, take care of yourself after you enter the capital," Miguel abruptly said.

Harper nodded and asked right away, "How is Princess Lilian?" Miguel's body went stiff. It was only for a moment, but Harper still
noticed it. "She's doing really good in the palace. His Majesty has always been tolerant and kind. Moreover, she's pregnant and
is about to become the empress. Of course, she couldn't be any better." "Oh, she's pregnant." Harper nodded her head in
understanding. Rolando was the same age as Matthew, but both of them didn't
have any children yet. Now, Rolando had become the emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, and the woman by his side was
pregnant, so he must be very happy. If Lilian gave birth to a son, her status would be more stable.
The expression in Miguel's eyes was very complicated, as if he had some unspeakable things. Harper was not a person who
liked to pry into other people's private lives, so she wouldn't force him into telling her anything if he didn't want to. "As long as
she's living a good life, then it's good," Harper stated.

"Your Highness —" Miguel was about to speak, but he immediately stopped himself. Then he asked after quite a while, "Are you
going to see Prince Matthew after you enter the capital city?"
"Perhaps, not. After all, I came to the Great Jade Kingdom in secret. What if Matthew gets mad and doesn't want to talk to me
after knowing that I came here without telling him? So right now, I'm still not sure." Harper giggled a little.
Miguel gritted his teeth. "You'd better meet with him as soon as possible."
Although Harper didn't understand why Miguel was asking her to do such a thing, she passively nodded at him. What he said
sounded a good advice. After all, they hadn't seen each other for days, and she missed her husband so much.
Miguel lifted the curtain and was about to leave which ultimately surprised Harper. "You're leaving so soon. Didn't you say that
you're going to leave when we reach the capital?"
"On second thought, we'd better separate here. If possible, you don't need to enter the capital right now. Instead, wait outside the
city to meet Prince Matthew. It's not a good thing for you to enter the capital by yourself." As soon as Miguel finished speaking,
he jumped off the carriage and disappeared in the crowd. Before Miguel left, he released Diana's acupoint, which made her able
to move and speak again! Instantly, Diana breathed a sigh of relief, but she then cursed furiously,
"You bastard! I'll give you a lesson that you'll never forget when I see you next time!"
