"What a tall city wall. It's even taller than the city walls of Chaos City. I feel … I feel …" Amy stood beside the city wall, and looked up. The more she looked up, the more she lost her balance, and fell backward.
"You can't look at such a tall city wall like that." Meg caught Amy with a smile. When they left Rodu, Amy was only a few months old, so she definitely wouldn't remember coming here.
"Father, let's go into the city and have some good food." Amy looked up at Meg with wide, bright blue eyes.
Meg looked at Amy's expectant expression, and he almost couldn't help but agree. However, he shook his head in the end, and said, "I'm afraid not today."
Cayrols made his way over to a horse-drawn carriage with a small pagoda emblem on it, and said, "Mr. Meg, please get on this horse-drawn carriage. I'll get someone to take you to the second prince's manor. The king's birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow, and the second prince needs to personally confirm whether you can enter the royal palace."
"Alright." Meg nodded calmly before carrying Amy onto the horse-drawn carriage. However, his heart began to race.
It was all thanks to this second prince that Mag Alex had fallen into such dire straits. Even after so many years, the second prince still didn't seem to have given up on him. Instead, he was most likely still adamant that he was still alive.
However, he was now going to the second prince's manor to meet him, and that was akin to sending a lamb into a tiger's den.
However, one had to take risks in order to achieve success. Meg was gambling on the fact that even if his nemesis were to stand right in front of him, they wouldn't be able to recognize him as Meg Alex. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by others in the future.
Meg was completely confident that he would be able to do this.
This was because he was Meg Shen, not Meg Alex.
All he had to do was be himself and be a candidate for the God of Cookery, and no one should be able to link him to the dragon-slaying warrior from all those years ago.
"Father, who are we going to meet now?" Amy asked curiously as she lifted the curtains and looked out at the rapidly receding street.
Meg looked at Amy with a smile, and said, "We're going to meet the second prince of the Roth Empire. Amy, you have to remember not to give him a nickname. Even if you do, you can't say it in front of him. Otherwise, Father could be kidnapped by bad people."
"Alright, I got it." Amy could tell from Meg's expression that he wasn't joking, and she nodded. However, she quickly pulled out her wand with a serious expression, and said, "Don't worry, Father. If any bad guys try to kidnap you, I'll be sure to beat them to a pulp."
Meg shook his head, and said, "I know you're very powerful, but we have to keep a low profile in Rodu. We can't let too many people know that you're very powerful. Otherwise, they might force you to leave me. There are still many powerful bad guys in this world."
"I understand. I'll become even more powerful. Only then will I be able to protect Father." Amy looked at Meg with a serious expression.
"Good girl." Meg patted Amy's head with a warm smile, and said, "Don't worry, Father will also work hard to become more powerful."
The horse-drawn carriage stopped outside a lavish manor, and Meg led Amy out of the carriage. He looked at the familiar scene in front of him with amazement on his face.
There were large white stone pillars with intricate carvings on them, a stretch of western-style domed buildings, a sprawling garden, and a fountain at the very center of the manor. In Rodu, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, there were only a handful of people aside from the second prince who could afford to own such a massive manor.
"Father, look! The water coming out of that toad's mouth is flying so high!" Amy pointed at the fountain as she spoke.
Meg looked in the direction that Amy was pointing, and discovered that there was clearly a golden dragon in the fountain. However, due to Amy's height, the lower half of the golden dragon's body was obscured by the edge of the fountain, so it looked more like a toad. He picked Amy up in his arms with a smile, and said, "That's a golden dragon."
"A golden dragon that looks like a toad? It's so ugly." Amy looked at the golden dragon in the fountain with a disdainful expression.
Meg took a closer look at the golden dragon condor, and found that it was indeed very ugly. It didn't display any of the fearsome aura of a golden dragon, and if one were to only look at its head, it did indeed resemble a toad.
The middle-aged man leading the way turned around with a nervous expression, and said, "Shh, little girl, don't spout nonsense. This is a golden dragon that His Highness personally constructed based on the painting of the golden dragon drawn by His Majesty. If anyone else were to hear what you're saying, they'd lose their heads."
"Is it that scary?" A slightly fearful expression appeared on Amy's face. She then took another glance at the fountain, and said with a conflicted expression, "But it's still so ugly."
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore." Meg raised an eyebrow. This was most likely a case of a king who wasn't good at painting and a prince who wasn't good at sculpting, but they liked to do things that they weren't good at, and they liked to show off to others.
Along the way, Meg saw a few more strange-looking sculptures. This was the first time that he had learned that the second prince had such a hobby in private.
However, compared to the third prince's ability to carve lifelike sculptures out of a piece of wood, Joshua's hobby really did appear to be very amateur.
The middle-aged man appeared to be a low-level manager, and he led Meg and Amy into a hall. He looked at the two of them, and cautioned, "Wait here for now. His Highness will come over after he's done with his business. Be careful with what you say when you see him, especially you, little girl. Don't say anything that you shouldn't say."
"Yes, Uncle. I promise I won't say that the golden dragon sculpted by His Highness looks like a toad." Amy nodded obediently.
"Thank you." Meg also nodded with a smile. He could sense the manager's good intentions, and he knew that the second prince's residence wasn't just jackals of the same lair.
The manager nodded and turned to leave. He shouldn't have said so much, but the little girl was simply too adorable, and it was as if she had never been to the city before. She was curious about everything that she saw, and he was worried that she would offend His Highness, so he said a few more words to remind her.
Meg looked around the hall. It was quite spacious, and it appeared to be a guest hall. There were six chairs and a coffee table, as well as a bookshelf to the side. The bookshelf was filled with all types of books, and there was a small round table next to the bookshelf that was filled with all types of desserts. On the coffee table next to the main seat, there was a black heavy sword.
"Tian Du!"
Meg looked at the sword, and his heart suddenly began to race.
"Long time no see, Alex."
