Mag's gaze only rested on the heavy sword for an instant, and it was as if he hadn't heard the footsteps and the conversation outside the door. He made his way over to the small round table and picked up a yellow pastry. He took a small bite, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Father, is it good?" Amy's attention was also immediately attracted by the pastries on the table, and she made her way over with anticipation and curiosity in her eyes.
Meg swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and shook his head as he said, "The osmanthus fragrance is too rich, and the texture is a little too sweet. I can eat one or two pieces, but if I eat too many, I'll get sick of it."
Amy pointed at a small biscuit on another plate, and asked, "What about this one? It's a small biscuit that looks like the moon. "
Meg picked up a thin biscuit, and bit into it gently, producing a crisp crunch. It had the sweet flavor of pumpkin, but it wasn't very rich. Instead, it was quite refreshing, and his eyes lit up as he said, "This pumpkin biscuit is quite good. It's thin and crisp, and the sweetness is just right. Any more and I'll get sick of it, and any less and it'll be bland."
This was indeed the best snack Meg had ever tasted after coming to this world, and it just so happened to suit his taste buds. Meg immediately began to look forward to the food and beverage industry in Rodu.
"I want a delicious pumpkin biscuit too!" Amy yelled as she raised her little hand.
"Alright, here you go." Meg handed a small biscuit to Amy with a smile.
"Is he … Alex?" Josh stood at the door as he appraised Meg with narrowed eyes. This man had the same name as Alex, and he also had a daughter who was three or four years old. He naturally couldn't ignore such a coincidence.
However, as someone who loved swords as much as his life, how could Alex remain completely unmoved in the face of the Tian Du sword? Instead, he was more interested in the pastries beside him, and didn't react to the surname Alex at all.
If there was anyone in the world who knew Alex the best, it wasn't Irina or Sean. It was him, the person who had once been his friend, but had now become his nemesis.
If even Alex knew how to hide his preferences and act, then he wouldn't have been ambushed on the streets of Rodu all those years ago.
For some people, everyone in the world liked them, but those who controlled the world hated them. Therefore, they had to die.
Also, Alex likes sweets.
"Looks like it's just someone with the same name." Josh's gaze lingered on Amy for a moment before he made his way into the hall. He turned to Meg, and asked, "Are you the Meg that Cayrols recommended?"
Meg turned to Josh and nodded in a manner that was neither haughty nor humble as he said, "My name is Meg, and I was invited to Rodu by Ambassador Cayrols to celebrate the king's birthday. It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness."
Amy was happily eating a plate of pumpkin biscuits and had no time to care about anything else.
"How do you know that I'm the second prince?" Josh looked into Meg's eyes with a smile, and the aura emanating from his body was quite oppressive.
Meg didn't avert his gaze in the slightest as he replied with a smile, "Ambassador Cayrols invited us here to meet you, Your Highness. The steward brought us here to wait for you, so I'm sure no one aside from you would require this kind of treatment."
"That's interesting." Josh withdrew his gaze and walked past Meg before taking a seat at the head of the table. He gently tapped his left hand on his sword as a cold smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Cayrols did indeed vouch for you, but I'll have to taste your dishes first before I make a decision. If you can't even convince me, then there's no need for you to embarrass yourself in the royal palace."
"Go ahead, Your Highness." Meg nodded with a confident expression.
"Very good. The kitchen is right behind here, and someone will take you there. The ingredients that you asked Cayrols to prepare are all in the kitchen. Cook me all of the dishes that you plan to cook the day after tomorrow, and I'll taste them first." Josh nodded in response.
"Alright, Amy, let's go." Meg held onto Amy's hand.
"I'll be done right away!" Amy hurriedly grabbed all of the remaining biscuits on the plate before placing them into her little pocket. She allowed Meg to hold her hand as she continued to munch on the biscuits.
Their figures are somewhat similar, but their appearances are completely different. No matter how he changes his appearance, his eyes won't change. However, I can't see any resemblance to Alex in his eyes. However, Alex doesn't know how to cook, so I'll be able to tell after tasting his dishes. Josh stroked his chin in contemplation as he watched Meg and the others disappear out the door.
After exiting the hall, Mag's tense heart immediately eased significantly. This second prince really was a very meticulous person. In order to test him, not only had he brought out the Tian Du Sword, he had also set up a huge trap for him, waiting for him to jump right in.
The Tian Du sword was Meg Alex's personal sword. That sword had slain countless giant dragons, and it could be said to be one of the most renowned swords on the Norland Continent. It was a testament to Alex's glorious exploits.
If Alex had been the one standing here today, he would've most likely been exposed.
Thankfully, Meg was already mentally prepared. Even though he wasn't very smart, at the very least, he didn't expose himself.
The servant at the front led Mag to a large kitchen. The kitchen was very large, and there were chefs in white chef's uniforms who were all busy in the kitchen. The sound of chopping could be heard incessantly.
Even though it wasn't time for dinner in the second prince's manor yet, it would take a lot of time just to prepare the ingredients for everyone's meals in the manor.
At this moment, many of the chefs were looking at the corner of the door with curiosity in their eyes. There was a square box on top of the stove, as well as two strange-looking pots and two large parcels.
Many of the chefs had heard that the second prince had hired a chef from Chaos City to cook for the king.
As soon as this news spread throughout the manor, all of the chefs in the manor erupted into an uproar.
All of the chefs in the second prince's manor were top-notch chefs in Rodu. Rodu was the culinary capital of the Norland Continent, and all of the chefs here felt that they were top-notch chefs.
It was an extremely glorious thing to cook for the king, but who would've thought that a chef from Chaos City would snatch the opportunity away from them? That city had only been established for around 100 years, and didn't have any culinary heritage, so how could they possibly produce any exceptional chefs? Many of the chefs were extremely disgruntled and indignant.
After hearing that the chef was going to arrive today, and according to the servants who were carrying the parcels, these parcels had all been prepared by that chef from Chaos City, everyone's interest was piqued. They all wanted to see if this chef who had traveled thousands of kilometers to come here was really something.
