A lot of the people who were present tried to run after her, only to find out that she was being taken to the direction of the library. Harper tried her best to exert all of her spiritual power to fight against the force, but the more she resisted, the stronger the force became. When she noticed that she was about to bump into the wall of the library, Harper could not help but stretch her arms to protect herself. However, before her body could touch the wall, a door appeared out of nowhere on what had been the library's wall a few seconds ago. The next moment, the strange force began to draw her into the library.
"Matthew, save me!" Harper exclaimed while she felt extreme chills down her spine. She turned around to look at Matthew. But before he could reach out to touch her, she was completely sucked into the library. In an instant, the library's door had been closed and was restored to its peaceful stature. The door even vanished right before their eyes.
Matthew struck the wall of the library with both of his fists, but the wall didn't move at all. It even bounced back all of his strength, throwing his entire body away. When he reached the floor, he spat out a mouthful of blood. In a hurry, Jack and Fred ran to help him up.
"Your Highness."
Both the Holy Maiden and Lance were frightened by the sudden incident. It was for the first time that the library had devoured a person on its own accord. They wondered if it was the library that caused the trembling of the earth and the swaying of the mountain.
"Open the door! If anything bad happens to my wife, I will definitely annihilate the entire South Kingdom!" Matthew yelled to the Holy Maiden, which sounded like an order and a threat at the same time.
The new prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom was also dumbfounded with what happened. He had never imagined that a library in the South Kingdom could take people just like that. How could it just absorb Prince Matthew's wife of the Bright Dynasty? It was even done in front of so many people. It all just seemed too incredible.
"Am I dreaming? A person has been devoured by a room?!" Miguel asked.
Kile subconsciously nodded and replied, "Yes, but I feel like I'm dreaming. Or has the world been so dreamlike that houses begin to eat people now?"
In the chaos of it all, Francis took the chance and fled away in secret. Since Harper had been sucked into the library, Matthew had lost his focus. He was about to go crazy and none of the others paid attention to Francis either. It was a perfect chance for him to escape. He thought of going to the Birch Pass to meet with Luther and make his comeback.
Turning to Matthew who looked extremely ferocious at the moment, the Holy Maiden slowly nodded her head.
"Not everyone is allowed to enter the library!" Lance reminded her in an attempt to prevent Matthew from entering the library. What had happened earlier that day already went beyond his expectations. He even lost his sanity when Harper was sucked into the library. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and he didn't know what to do.
"Lance, if something bad happens to my wife, I swear on my life, the Black Flag Army will certainly destroy the Starry Palace. I dare you to try and not believe in my words!" Matthew said, emphasizing his every word through gritted teeth. The intent to kill was overflowing from his body. Even the flowers and plants around him were affected as they began to wither immediately. The Holy Maiden felt even more uncomfortable with the situation.
"Your Highness, the most important thing is to save Her Highness!" Barry immediately reminded his master. If Matthew lost his mind, he might kill the envoys of the Wonder Kingdom and the Great Jade Kingdom by mistake. If so, the Bright Dynasty might be attacked by the joint force of the other three countries. By then, it would be difficult to save his own life, let alone his wife's.
Trying to suppress the violent intent to kill in his body, Matthew glared at Lance before shouting, "Let her open the door!"
