News of what happened in Rodu spread like wildfire across the Norland Continent.
As the heir to the Roth Empire's throne, Josh was actually controlled by the devil. He planned and promoted the war against the orcs and elves single-handedly, ordered the extermination of dozens of orc tribes, and cruelly annihilated the families of several officials in the Ministry of War, and killed Bloom.
The entire Norland Continent was in an uproar. All the races immediately questioned the Roth Empire with the dragons, demanding Andre to hand Josh over to investigate the matter and give the races an explanation.
This matter also caused a huge commotion within the Roth Empire. The military, which was forced to take the blame in the beginning, mutinied after Bloom was killed, and there was confirmed news that he had called out Josh's name before he died. Several great generals, led by Marshal Dominic, requested Andre to investigate the matter and give an explanation to the officials in the Ministry of War and Bloom.
Overnight, the Roth Empire had changed drastically.
Andre sat alone in the royal study, looking at the memorial that Dominic had just submitted. Other than himself, there were also the signatures of the other three great generals of the empire. His expression was grave, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He was already on the verge of exploding.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, and said to the door, "Let them in."
The door of the royal study was opened, and more than 10 top officials of the Roth Empire filed in. They stood on both sides with complicated expressions.
If the Roth Empire could still control the war against the orcs and elves at the same time, then the second prince Josh's collusion with the devil would shake the foundation of the Roth Empire.
Andre's gaze swept across all the officials present, and he said in a deep voice, "Josh was disturbed by the devil and committed such a heinous crime. From today onwards, he will be stripped of his position as the prince. All departments will pursue him to bring him to justice, and give an explanation to the innocent citizens and officials who died tragically."
Many officials heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials bowed.
Andre's declaration meant that Josh had been completely abandoned, and the fight for the throne that had lasted for many years was finally over. Sean would become the future king of the Roth Empire.
The officials on Sean's side all had joy and excitement in their eyes. They were originally evenly matched, but Sean won easily because of Josh's foolish actions.
Meanwhile, the officials on Josh's side didn't look too good.
This incident had shaken the entire Norland Continent. Even His Majesty had no choice but to declare his stance, so they naturally didn't dare to be unlucky at such a time. In fact, most people were thinking of how to cut ties with Josh. At a time like this, any relationship with the devil was something that ordinary people couldn't afford.
Andre paused for a moment before continuing, "I will announce this to the world and make Sean the crown prince. The Roth Empire will be at odds with the devils, and we will fight against the devils together with all the races. We will kill everything related to the devils!"
…
This news quickly spread from the Roth Empire's royal palace to the entire Norland Continent. It was delivered to everyone who was paying attention to this matter.
"As expected of the old fox. He's faster and more decisive than I am." His's Of... is is expected's's is To's expected expected Of's to be expected expected expected of expected of the's is is was expected.
"As expected. He has already lost the space to choose, and taking a step back will lead him into the abyss. Compared to a son who has lost control, it's not difficult to make this decision." Irina only took a glance before lowering her head and continuing to drink her soy milk.
"That's true." Meg nodded. However, he was still rather satisfied with this outcome. At least, the show they put on that night was very successful, and perfectly met his expectations.
The world was so big that there was no longer a place for Joshua to stay.
To someone who aspired to become the king of the Roth Empire, and who loved to show off, this was worse than death.
After breakfast, Meg brought Irina and the two children shopping as usual. He didn't have to manage the restaurant, and was just so relaxed and comfortable.
Of course, whenever he thought of those customers squatting outside the restaurant and waiting for him to return to Chaos City, he would still feel uneasy occasionally.
Amy, who was wearing a little rabbit hat, looked up at Meg, and asked expectantly, "Father, where are we going to play today?"
Meg looked at Amy, and said, "Let's go to the bookstore in the west of the city today. I heard that it's the largest bookstore on the Norland Continent. There are countless bookstores of different sizes, and you can find any book you want if you put in the effort."
Amy's eyes lit up, and she said, "Sure. Then I can buy some pretty picture books. I saw some interesting picture books yesterday."
Anne's eyes also lit up at the mention of picture books, and she looked at Meg with anticipation in her eyes.
"The books there are only at the level of children's reading." Irina didn't agree with Meg's assessment, but she didn't object to Meg's suggestion, either.
Meg hailed a horse-drawn carriage, and informed the coachman before heading straight to the bookstore in the west of the city.
The bookstore in the west of the city was actually a market made up of many bookstores. It could be said that most of the bookstores in Rodu were gathered here, and all of the magazine publishers had also set up their headquarters here.
There were bookstores of all sizes. There were large bookstores that were thousands of square meters in size, and small bookstores that had all kinds of ancient books stacked into small mountains within a few square meters.
After passing through one alleyway after another, and turning around one corner after another, one might just be able to find the textbook that one had been searching so hard for in an extremely inconspicuous corner.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the largest bookstore in the bookstore, and Meg paid the coachman before expressing his gratitude to him, and everyone alighted from the carriage.
"Wow, isn't that Father?" Amy jumped down from the horse-drawn carriage, and exclaimed at the sight of a portrait of a chef standing in front of the bookstore.
Irina and Anne were also quite surprised.
It was a magazine cover that was over two meters tall, and it was from Whole Foods and Meats. It was a promotional poster for the new magazine.
Aside from the words "Whole Foods and Meats" on the cover, there was also an uncolored sketch of a chef. Regardless of whether it was his clothes or his appearance, he was indeed quite similar to Meg.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was a line of text next to the portrait: "Norland Continent's number one chef: Meg!"
"How embarrassing …" Meg shook his head.
"Hehe, you should've heard about this already, right?" Irina looked at Meg with a hint of a smile on her face, as if she had already seen through his little trick.
"I heard that the magazine was going to be released today, but I didn't think that it would be released in such a way." Meg splayed his hands open. If he had known about this, he wouldn't have minded sending a handsome full-body photo to the editorial department. Only then would he be able to attract more female fans!
