"You can't get inside without my help!" She didn't want to give up. The reason why she still bothered them was because she hated Harper, who had just got that man's favor, but yet despised it.
The three of them stopped, and Lucas touched his nose. "It seems that only the guard can open the pavilion's gate, and others won't be able to do it."
Harper waved her hand slightly. At once, the guard got dropped from the wall and went down on her knees. But she didn't dare to attack them again. Instead, she stood up, calmed down, and led the way.
"Things wouldn't have turned this ugly if you had behaved more maturely. You should have offered them due respect. It's not a big deal that they want to enter the pavilion. Everyone knows that it is Uncle Matthew who really guards our country." Lucas grinned.
"Coward!" The secret keeper glared at Lucas. Despite being the emperor, he openly admitted that he was not as good as Matthew. He was just trash!
Lucas shrugged and said casually, "I'm telling the truth. A man should never lie to himself. Do you dare say no? I don't know what fate awaits us if the Bright Dynasty loses my uncle."
The guard kept her mouth shut. She was afraid that if she continued to say something, she might lose her control and even slap Lucas. The late emperor was cruel and ruthless, but the new emperor inherited none of his father's traits and even lacked self-confidence. In Matthew's presence, he turned out to be a pug trying to flatter him and didn't have the demeanour of an emperor at all.
When Harper saw the plaque and the black gate of the pavilion, a strange feeling rose in her heart. Surprisingly, she had a feeling of familiarity.
"The gate is made of meteoric iron. Except people of our pavilion, no one knows how to open it…"
Harper walked past the guard, placed her hand on the gate, and then pushed it gently.
"Crunch!" The gate slowly opened up with a squeak. The guard couldn't believe what she saw. She was stunned and stood there like a rock, completely forgetting how to react. The gate weighing thousands of kilograms was pushed open by Harper, that too by giving it a gentle push.
