After being forced into the library, Harper fell onto the ground with a thud. Instantly, a sharp pain coursed through her body. It was not until then that she realized she was inside the place she had always wanted to enter!
"Just my luck, I've been sucked into the library." Then, she carefully checked her arms and legs. "Well, not bad, not bad. My arms and legs are fine."
In the midst of the emotions that overwhelmed her, Harper didn't forget her ultimate purpose. The reason why she had always wanted to enter the library was to find the half Sacred Seal of the Qin Clan which had been looted by the South Kingdom. With this in mind, she rummaged through every part of the library in a rush. However, after a while of rigorous searching, she still couldn't find any stuff like the seal!
"Shouldn't the seal be hidden here?" Harper grew more and more confused as the seconds went by. 'If it's not hidden here, then where could it be? The Imperial Palace of the South Kingdom?'
While she was thinking about these questions, a thought suddenly struck her. Another location where the seal might be would be the South Kingdom's Treasury. If she still couldn't find it in there, there was only one thing left for her to do. And that would be to kidnap Lance and force him into telling her the whereabouts of the seal.
Next, Harper started to ponder on how she could get out. She remembered that she was sucked into the library from a door. However, when she carefully searched the secret mechanism to open the door, she couldn't find it.
"It's strange. Obviously, I came in from here. Why does it seem like the door had disappeared?" For a moment, she carefully tried to remember how she got in and finally realized that she had been attacked by Becky so she had to use her spiritual power. Could this mean she had to use her spiritual power to get out as well?
With this in mind and not having any other option for that matter, she unleashed her spiritual power to hit the wall. But when the power was about to reach the wall, it made a sudden turn and headed for the roof.
In the direction where the spiritual power was headed to, she finally saw what she was looking for all this time. In the middle of the roof was the half Sacred Seal. "Lance, how can you be so cunning? You even put the thing on the roof! You must've thought whoever came here to steal something would only search at the things inside and wouldn't even think of looking up."
Without any hesitation, Harper flew and seized the chance to reach the seal. But when her hand was about to reach it, a force threw her off vigorously. For the second time that day, she fell on the ground with a thud. This time, however, she looked so embarrassed.
Lying on the ground, Harper swallowed the smell of blood in her throat. Everything in here was so strange. First, she was drawn into the library for reasons she couldn't understand yet. And now, she was thrown off from trying to obtain the seal. For a while, she couldn't tell if the seal was the reason why she was sucked into the library.
Upon hearing that, Diana opened her mouth in an attempt to say something. However, no words came out. In fact, she didn't know how to deal with it at all. It was Francis who had planned the murder. She just offered him some help. But it seemed like the little she did would have serious consequences to her and their relationship.
Meanwhile, Matthew was losing his patience. "I'm giving you two hours. If you can't open the door of the library within that time frame, you can just wait for me as I will flatten every inch of land in the South Kingdom!" Matthew furiously threatened. His wife had been devoured by the library for half a day already. If the situation kept on being like this, no one knew what would happen.
"Prince Matthew, I've tried my best." With a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and a pale face, the Holy Maiden had been summoning all of her strength. But no matter what she did, she still couldn't open the door of the library. The usually obedient library was now fooling her like a naughty child and it just couldn't be opened at all.
"Do you think I care? The only thing that matters to me is getting her out of there!" Matthew replied in a rigid tone.
All of a sudden, Fred appeared and whispered in Matthew's ear, "Your Highness, something bad happened. Jack chased Prince Francis and found the prince went directly to the Birch Pass. And now, the army of the Birch Pass mutinied."
