Chapter 925 The Missing Sacred Seal (Part One)
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."
The news that Kile had come back to the capital city quickly spread in the Imperial Palace. His father was reading some important files when he received the news. "I knew that rogue monkey wouldn't stay long in the Mountain Pass. Wanda must be cleaning up his mess for him," he whispered to himself.
"Kile has always been a playboy. I was surprised when he went to the Mountain Pass, but I knew that he would come back as soon as he could. And I was right." The empress was preparing ink for him. "Your Majesty, you have indulged your son too much. He's already an adult but he still clings to beautiful women without thinking about anything else. How will he survive the real world in the future?"
The emperor's expression didn't change. "I have told him time and time again that he had to change and mature for his own good. If he doesn't want to, I don't think I can do anything. And you know what? That's okay. As long as the crown prince is an obedient son, I don't think I'll have a problem."NôvelDrama.Org content.
At the mention of the crown prince, the empress showed a gentle and loving smile. The crown prince was her pride and she knew that he would never let her or the emperor worry about him. "Indeed. The crown prince is so sensible."
"It's good to be sensible. I love that I don't need to worry about him. Anyway, I think it's getting too late now. You may go back and have a rest now," the emperor ordered.
"Your Majesty, tonight..."
"I'll stay here tonight," the emperor replied. He often stayed in the Imperial Study after he had read over the official files if it was already too late into the night. The empress didn't give it any mind, so she stood up and left at once.
After the empress left, the emperor put his pen down. He stared at her receding figure, his eyes becoming so deep that no one could decipher what he was thinking about.
"Lenard."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Is Prince Kile in the palace?" Something inside of him told him that Kile had arrived.
"His Highness has entered the palace with an attendant. It seems like he is very, very happy," Lenard said cautiously.
"Happy?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. 'The bad boy Kile? Happy?' he thought. Instead of being pleased, however, he felt scared, as the more pleased Kile was, the more terrifying his plan would be. The emperor rubbed his temples as he felt a nasty headache coming on. As long as the boy wouldn't make trouble, he was fine with whatever he wanted to do. They could have just stood by and watched,
but this time, Kile took the initiative to attack the Great Jade Kingdom. If the Great Jade Kingdom confronted them about their actions, he would never be able to explain anything to them.
