"Master, since Prince Matthew is our enemy, shall we take the first move so we can have the upper hand?" York asked after being silent for a while. In his opinion, if they could attack first and succeed in killing Matthew, they would get rid of a big obstacle for Rolando's sake. After all, everyone knew that Matthew was ruthless and powerful, so it would be good to kill such a formidable opponent in the first place.
"If you have the ability to kill him, why don't you go and try it? I'm afraid that you'll lose your life even before you're inches apart from him. You should always think carefully before you act. Don't be impulsive and reckless. Otherwise, you'll just end up as a dead man. Nevertheless, I just want to see what kind of woman Harper is. After all, His Majesty didn't hesitate to save her, even at the cost of losing an arm," Miguel said, his eyes filled with indifference. If he were to find out that Harper had plotted against Rolando so he could lose an arm, Miguel would not spare her.
"Well, now that you've seen her in person, what kind of woman do you think she is?" York curiously asked. As a matter of fact, he admired Harper very much, because few people could put Miguel in an awkward position with so much ease. It was very hard to make him speechless about his grievance, but as it turned out, Harper was one of those people. Even the ferocious Matthew had always been enraged because of Miguel's antics and he had never been able to vent his rage.
"Soon enough, we're going to see what kind of person she truly is!"
"I hope you're right. Anyways, I guess the envoys of the Wonder Kingdom will also arrive tomorrow. I have no idea who their leader is," York asked, ever so curious about everything.
"It was said that it's going to be Prince Kile, the third prince of the Wonder Kingdom. In fact, this particular prince has a special characteristic," Miguel stated while playing with the ring on his thumb.
"A special characteristic?" York asked while tilting his head.
"Yeah, a special characteristic," Miguel said with a meaningful smile on his face. He then silently thought to himself, 'It's impossible for Prince Kile to take his eyes away from any beauty. What a coincidence! Lady Harper of the Bright Dynasty is one of the most beautiful women in the land.'
York scratched his head, not knowing what Miguel meant. 'Master only said that Prince Kile has a special characteristic, but what could it be? Will it be helpful to us?' he thought to himself.
"Master, what is his special characteristic?"
With disdain, Miguel glared at York before impatiently responding, "He has always been obsessed with beautiful women."
York immediately nodded his head in understanding. "Is he bold enough to go through extreme risks just for beautiful women?"
"Haha, you're so smart! Besides, it is said that he had even dared to flirt with the consorts of his father. Once he sees a beauty from a foreign country, how do you think is he going to react?" Miguel said while slowly shaking his head in amusement.
Because of the man's persistence, Barry drew his sword and stood in front of Miguel. "Her Highness doesn't want to see anyone either."
"Dear Barry, you're not being a good boy, are you?" Miguel said with a tender smile. Upon seeing that, Barry heard a warning bell ringing in his heart. Unfortunately, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, he faintly got down on one knee. He was too weak that he needed to support his own body with his sword. He couldn't do anything aside from watching Miguel pass by him. Confidently, Miguel made his way inside while the rest of the guards were all lying on the ground.
"You're shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Miguel's voice came through from a distance. Barry's face turned green with anger. He had no choice but to sit down and try to remove the poison from his body first. Like what he had expected, Miguel was a person who would do anything at all costs just to achieve his goal. Even as the prime minister of a country, he didn't hesitate to use such a dirty trick in broad daylight. Barry believed that he didn't deserve to be a prime minister.
Meanwhile, Harper and Matthew were having breakfast. When Matthew heard some footsteps, he put down his bowl and chopsticks. He then used his energy to rush towards Miguel, who was about to reach the door. Sensing the danger, Miguel quickly took a few steps back. Then he took a look at the space where he had stood just now. Suddenly, there was a pit in front of him. If he had been hit by Matthew's energy, his bone would have been broken into pieces. In his heart, he could not help but curse how ruthless Matthew was.
"Lady Harper, I came here to apologize to you," Miguel exclaimed while keeping a considerable distance from the door.
