In the royal palace of Rodu.
A knight stood in front of the king with his head bowed, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, that chef from Chaos City refused to come to Rodu, and my knight encountered the lord of the Gray Temple, Rolan, and was unable to bring him back. Please punish him, Your Majesty."
"He didn't want to come?" A knowing smile appeared on the king's face as he waved his hand, and said, "It's not your fault. He dared to refuse my invitation in the palace, so it's no surprise that he would refuse your invitation as well. However, I didn't think that Rolan would appear in person for a chef."
"Do you need me to investigate this chef?" the knight asked.
"No need for that. I have something more important for you to do." Andre shook his head, and said a few words to the knight in a hushed voice, after which the knight agreed to leave.
"If he doesn't come, then I won't be able to explain myself to Vanessa." Andre heaved a forlorn sigh, and a hint of resignation appeared on his stern face. He paced back and forth in the palace before making his way out.
Lora hurriedly ran into the room, and said to Princess Vanessa, who was reading a book on her bed, "Your Highness, His Majesty is here."
"Really? Father, did you invite Chef Meg here? " Vanessa immediately got up from her bed, and allowed Lora to tidy up her clothes as she asked with an elated expression.
Lora shook her head, and said with certainty, "His Majesty didn't tell me. However, with His Majesty's invitation, there's no way that chef would dare to refuse."
"That's true. Father, you're the best king in the world." A smile appeared on Vanessa's face, and she quickly strode out of the room after tidying her hair.
"Father, is Chef Meg here?" Vanessa quickly made her way over to the king, who was standing at the window, with anticipation in her eyes.
"You keep talking about Chef Meg and Chef Meg as soon as you open your mouth. Have you completely forgotten about your father? Is the king of the Roth Empire inferior to a chef in Chaos City?" Andre said with a stern expression, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes as he looked at Vanessa.
"Who said so? No one in this world can compare to Father." Vanessa shook her head before asking with an expectant look in her eyes, "Has he arrived at Rodu? Or have they arrived at the Imperial Palace? Can we have the dinner he cooks tonight? "
Lora stood outside the door and listened to the conversation between the King and Princess Vanessa with a smile on her face. The King doted on the princess the most. She had never seen the King get angry and listen to everything the Princess wanted.
"He refused my invitation." Andre shook his head.
"He refused?" Vanessa was stunned. She looked at Andre and said, "He's not willing to come and cook for us?"
"He actually refused!" Lora covered her mouth with shock in her eyes. There was actually someone in this world who dared to refuse the king's invitation, and he was only a chef!
She had heard from the princess that he was a very good chef who could cook very delicious food.
But no matter what, he was just a lowly chef. It was his honor to cook for the nobles. To be able to receive the King's invitation to cook for the King and Her Highness was such an honor. How could he refuse?
"Yes, he is an interesting chef. I invited him to stay in the royal kitchen during my banquet, but he also refused my invitation, saying that he wanted to go back and cook for his guests." Andre nodded. There were not many people who dared to refuse him, and Meg had refused him twice in a row. Even though he was only a lowly chef, he still remembered him.
However, perhaps it was because the spicy grilled fish he made was too unforgettable, and he often thought about it when he was eating. He increasingly felt that the food in the royal kitchen recently tasted very ordinary.
"Is that so? He refused the king's invitation to cook for normal guests; he really is a very interesting chef. " Vanessa was initially feeling a little dejected, but her eyes gradually lit up upon hearing that. A chef who dared to refuse the king's invitation must have extraordinary courage, and was willing to bring delicious food to more people instead of being restricted to the luxurious palace. This chef really was a great person.
"Don't be sad, Vanessa. Soon, no matter where he is on the continent, he'll have to come and cook for you as long as you ask," Andre consoled.
"Mm-hm." Vanessa nodded. She turned to Andre, and asked, "I heard Uncle Abraham is in Chaos City now, and he comes to Mamy's every day to eat. Is that true?"
"Mm-hm, he just loves to eat. He went to Chaos City with that chef Meg last time, and didn't come back for a few months. Looks like he's forgotten that he's the duke of the Roth Empire," Andre said with a hint of resignation in his voice.
Among all of his brothers, Abraham was the one he couldn't discipline the most.
Back when they were fighting for the throne, Abraham was the most determined to stand by his side. He had even taken an arrow for him during the battle for the throne, and was severely wounded.
After he ascended the throne, he had planned to entrust Abraham with important responsibilities, but after he recovered from his injuries, he resigned from all of his positions, and only kept his title. He didn't even want to be given any land, and did nothing but eat, drink, and play every day. It could be said that he was the most idle person in the Norland Empire.
"Alright, then I'll wait for that day to come. I'll wait for Chef Meg to come to Rodu and cook delicious food for me," Vanessa said obediently. Vanessa said obediently. However, a sly look flashed across her eyes. A delicacy that could make Uncle Abel forget to go back had to be the best in the world. She had to try it herself.
"Alright, I'll get the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite snow pear porridge. Father, you're going to take care of some government affairs now," Andre said to Vanessa with a doting expression.
"Mm-hm. Go ahead, Father." Vanessa nodded, and walked Andre out of the door. After watching him disappear into the distance, she immediately waved at Lora.
"Princess." Lora made her way over.
"Lora, hurry up and pack your things. We're going to leave," Vanessa whispered.
"Are you going to the manor for a vacation again, Princess?" Lora was perplexed. They had only returned to the palace for a few days.
Vanessa smiled slyly, and said, "That's what I told Father and the others, but we're actually going to Chaos City. I'm going to find Uncle Abraham."
"Chaos City!" Lora's voice immediately rose a few octaves.
"Shh, someone will hear us." Vanessa covered Lora's mouth.
"But … But Your Highness, if the king and queen find out that you're missing, they'll be very worried," Lora whispered anxiously.
Vanessa smiled, and said, "It's alright. When we reach Chaos City, I'll find Uncle Abraham and get him to write a letter to Father."
