At that time, there was still tension in the air. More specifically, Lance was feeling extremely nervous and Diana had a ghastly
expression on her face. It was actually her who obtained the Lethal Seven poison. The reason why she didn't use a unique
poison from the South Kingdom was she didn't want anyone to suspect anyone from their kingdom. However, Harper just said
that she had a witness who could prove that the Lethal Seven was from the South Kingdom. How was that possible?
"Lady Harper, the Lethal Seven is from a poison master, not from the South Kingdom," Diana said in a rush.
"In the past, my husband was poisoned by the Lethal Seven. He captured the poison master, but he didn't have the antidote for
it. In a fit of anger, my husband killed him. He also destroyed all of the poisons which the poison master had made, so he didn't
make any poisons on the market right now. However, we found out that others had developed a similar poison," Harper replied
before turning to Lance. "Your Majesty, do you want to be accused of murdering Prince Kile from the Wonder Kingdom and
slandering me, a princess of the Bright Dynasty? Or do you want me to find out the truth? All I'm asking for is access to your
library."
Lance was in a very difficult position. Certainly, he didn't want to admit that his kingdom had anything to do with the murder but at
the same time, he didn't want Harper to enter the library either. Thus, he was hesitating.
"By the way, I can stop the poison attack for Prince Kile but it's only temporary." What Harper said felt like a bomb to Lance. It
settled the decision that he was trying to make. Now he couldn't hesitate anymore because if he did, it meant that he would be
the one who killed Kile!
"That's good. As long as you can find out the real murderer, you will be allowed to enter the library!" Lance finally exclaimed.
took out a green pill from it and handed it to Kile. "Take it," she briefly said. Kile didn't hesitate a bit. He just took the pill from
Harper and swallowed it in a second. Before another envoy from the Wonder Kingdom could say anything to stop him, the prince
commented, "It's sweet." Harper chuckled while approaching Kile. She then grabbed his right hand which had been poisoned
and suddenly drew a dagger to cut his palm. After that, she took out a small bamboo tube and poured out several bugs on his
arm. Unconsciously, Kile wanted to shake them off. "If you don't want to die, don't move," Harper warned him. With that, Kile tried
to suppress his impulse to shake his hand and merely watched as the bugs climbed up to his wound and sucked his blood. The
bean-sized bugs became about the size of a thumb after they had sucked enough blood. Within a short
period of time, the black color on his hand gradually disappeared and returned to its normal color. However, Harper wasn't done
with him. She placed several needles on his acupoints and then took the bugs from his arm. "All right, we've been able to control
the poison. Next, let's talk about how this hidden weapon was shot." While looking at Lance, Harper spoke very slowly in a gentle
voice. It seemed so full of magic which made people involuntarily wonder how a hidden weapon was shot in that way. They all
had the same questions on their minds. 'How was the hidden weapon fired?' and 'Was it
really Harper who did it?'
"How was the hidden weapon launched?" Harper posed the question, seemingly capable of reading their minds.
Harper then turned to Matthew. He extended his hands and overturned the table between them. Under it was a neat small box
without any hidden weapons inside. Apparently, all of the hidden weapons had already been fired.
"Damn it! Who did this?" When Lance saw that, it became easy for him to understand what actually happened. After all,
everything in the Starry Palace had been arranged by their people. Someone had definitely placed hidden weapons in advance
the box of hidden weapons. She pulled out a poisonous needle from the dead Aiden's body and compared it to the marks on the
box. She then claimed, "After careful comparison, the poisonous needles that killed Lord Aiden and injured Prince Kile are the
same as the ones from this box." "Well, maybe you're the one who brought that here! How dare you! How could you intentionally
set up our country!" Diana yelled very loudly.
In response, Harper only sneered. "Take it easy, Princess Diana. I have an old friend of yours. Please don't be too excited to see
him later."
As Diana heard the words "old friend", her eyelids twitched. Which old friend was she talking about?
"Lady Harper, don't say such things that will mislead the public once again. You brought those hidden weapons and tried to kill
Prince Kile! After you failed, you're now falsely accusing our country!" Diana firmly insisted on her claims with the utmost
perseverance.
Meanwhile, Harper remained calm. "Princess Diana, I don't have any hostility towards Prince Kile. What motive do I have to kill
him?"
"Because he flirted with you!"
At that, Kile became extremely furious. Diana wasn't just accusing Harper. She was also accusing him and doing it right in front
of Matthew. "Oh, Princess Diana, when did you see me flirt with Princess Harper? Don't even think that I wouldn't dare to beat
you up just because you're a woman! I just greeted her. I didn't flirt with her! What kind of world would that be considered as
'flirting'?"
Kile was very much aware that Harper still had his life in her hands. He couldn't risk offending her so he retorted immediately.
"Since we're talking about the motive for attempting to kill Prince Kile, aren't you supposed to be the prime suspect here, Diana?
We all know that he molested you yesterday and even wanted to take you back to his bedroom. You were so enraged that you
beat him up to the point that he couldn't get up. You're a princess of the South Kingdom so you're at your own home where
you're comfortable and free to do what you want. If anything, you're more suspicious than me," Harper said slowly.
