"With so few people behind you, do you really think you can make me stay here? It's not easy to hold me down." A gush of blood
and energy rushed in Matthew's body, but he swallowed the blood when it reached his throat.
"Of course I had already expected that you wouldn't want to stay here, so I've prepared a lot of options for you. If you leave now,
I'll pretend that nothing happened. If you keep on pestering me, I'll have to make you suffer severely before leaving," Rolando
plainly said.
"As long as you give my wife back to me, I'll leave at once." Matthew didn't have any interest in the Great Jade Kingdom at all.
He could pretend nothing had happened as long as Harper was safe and sound.
"Your wife is not in the Imperial Palace!"
"Rolando, let's be straightforward here. You clearly know whether my wife is here or not. Hand her over. Otherwise, I will destroy
your entire palace." Matthew's murderous intention was overwhelming. What he didn't understand was why Rolando wanted to
keep Harper in the Imperial Palace. Was it for the Heavenly Book, or for other purposes? He simply didn't know.
"I've already told you that your wife is not here. The only ones living in here are my women. What then? Does the Bright Dynasty
want to take back your Princess Lilian?" Rolando asked in a calm manner.
"Rolando!" Matthew stabbed his sword straight at his opponent. Miguel quickly blocked it, deflecting the sword that had come out
of nowhere. He attacked Matthew, together with the secret guards.
"Hurry up and go. Harper is fine. His Majesty won't hurt her," Miguel whispered to Matthew in the middle of the chaotic

altercation.
The expression on Matthew's face remained unchanged while he stared at Miguel stoically. "Listen to me, Matthew Jun. Hurry up
and go. If anything happened to you, Harper would really be in danger! This palace is full of traps. If you don't go, you really
won't be able to get out!" Miguel was becoming anxious because of the situation. Frowning a little, with his palm, Matthew hit
Miguel on the chest to push him far away. He then immediately retreated with his people. "Rolando, I will not let you go." "Stop.

him! Don't let him escape!" "Your Majesty, something is wrong with Lady Harper." Suddenly, Fernando appeared and delivered
the bad news.
The expression on Rolando's face froze. The repressive drug effect in his body unexpectedly surged up because of his unstable
mind. He almost failed to control himself. "Head for the Ice Pool!" Rolando quickly rushed towards the Ice Pool. His main concern
was not that he couldn't contain his urges, but he was worried about Harper who was still in the Ice Pool. He didn't know what to
do if something bad happened to her. In the Ice Pool, Harper's face was pale. A purple shadow rushed in and jumped to her.
Then, it stared at her in confusion and
even pulled her.
"Patrick... So Matthew is finally in the capital now. Tell him to come to me." Harper opened her eyes to look at the creature.
Patrick squinted at Harper as if it didn't understand what she was talking about. She gave a wry smile in return. "If you don't do
that, I really don't know what I can do."
Patrick rolled its eyes upward and bit Harper's wrist. She felt so much pain and sobered up instantly. She widened her eyes and
looked at Patrick in disbelief. She could clearly feel that she wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.

Surprise was written all over Harper's face. "Patrick, you can detoxify the Fire Toxin? I didn't expect that I really found a treasure
in you. How lucky I am!" Patrick looked at Harper with disdain, as if it was saying, "Harper, you are so ignorant. I'm a Holy Beast
from the Labyrinth Swamp so I've seen all kinds of poisons. What poison can ever faze me?" After the Fire Toxin was removed,
Harper suddenly felt a little cold in the Ice Pool. But she felt spiritual power surging inside her
body and it seemed to like the environment of the Ice Pool very much. "Patrick, stay on guard. If you see something wrong with
me, please take me out."
Patrick widened its eyes and looked at Harper. It seemed like it didn't understand what she meant by taking her out until it saw
her spread out her arms and sink into the Ice Pool. It stretched out its little claws and grabbed something in the water, as if it was
testing out how to take her out.

As time went by, the coldness in the Ice Pool gradually dissipated. Harper was still deep in the pool. When Patrick stretched out
its claws to check the water, it found that the pool was not as cold anymore. It felt surprised and scratched its head, as if it was
thinking whether there was something wrong with Harper as she had said earlier.
Patrick was hesitating whether to go into the pool or not. It thought that it was too small to get Harper out of the water and was
considering if it should show its original shape. The next instant, a figure quickly jumped into the pool and instantly managed to
pull Harper out.
"Harper, are you okay? Can you hear me?"
Harper opened her eyes with spiritual energy flowing in them. Rolando was shocked to see that. She quickly sat up and said,
"I'm fine. I'm sorry that I made you worried."
"I'm glad to hear that. The secret guard said that there's something wrong with you. So I came in here as soon as I could." The
worry was still on Rolando's face and it looked so sincere.
"Thank you, Rolando. I'm fine, but I think I should leave the Imperial Palace. Matthew should arrive at the capital by
now."
