Harper and Kile were able to travel to the capital city of the Wonder Kingdom without a hitch. As soon as they entered the city, Harper paused, closed her eyes and released her spiritual power. She didn't feel anything. Even the Sacred Seal on her didn't react.
"Harper, what's wrong? Why did you stop?" Kile asked curiously.
Harper opened her eyes and replied calmly, "Nothing. Let's go."
Kile didn't know what Harper was doing, but he noticed that she had a weird expression on her face. It was as if there was something suspicious near them.
He quickly let what he was feeling go and said, "Let's head to my mansion first. My identity as a prince is a must if we want to enter the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, it would be next to impossible to get into the palace." His voice was low and he looked around to see if there was any shady character who could hear them.
Harper frowned as she felt that something was wrong. When she first came to the capital city of the South Kingdom, she had a faint feeling that something was dragging her near to it. When she was in the Starry Palace, the Sacred Seal sensed something as soon as she released her spiritual power and she was led into the palace's library. This time, however, nothing like that happened.
With that feeling swirling deep inside her, she followed Kile closely, disguised as a man. It was known to everyone that Kile was such a lecherous and greedy man that he was housing countless beauties in his mansion. Some of them were sent by other princes and princesses and the emperor, and he also personally took some of them home. As soon as he crossed the doorway, these ladies came flocking to him, like ants would do to honey.
Kile, surrounded in the middle of the huge crowd of women, showed Harper how incredibly adept he was in dealing with these women. He was so good at it that Harper couldn't help herself but admire him! 'He is indeed a capable man,' she thought, smiling to herself.
"Well, well, I just came back from the Mountain Pass. I'm tired and hungry, but I still have to go to the palace to see my father. After I report to him, I will come back to take good care of you all." After driving the ladies away, Kile slumped into his chair. "It's not a good thing to have too many women, Harper. I'm so tired."
"Isn't it such a pleasure for a man to have so many girls around you? Why are you tired?" Harper joked.
"How can I not be tired? There are about fifty of them in this mansion! I don't have enough energy to make them all happy, Harper! But let's stop talking about them. If you want to know where the Sacred Seal is, you have to ask my father. So let's go there right now. I myself have been looking for it for five years now, but I still haven't found it. I don't think it would be easy for us to find it," Kile said helplessly.
Harper had an idea in mind, but she still had to see Kile's father to make sure she was on the right track. "Let's go to see your father."
