Sean apologized before departing, and Mag dragged the coachman back into the carriage. Then, he steered the horse-drawn carriage toward the food street, albeit with difficulty.
Looks like it's inevitable that I'll be targeted by Sean. I'll just have to prove that I'm not Alex when I cook for the king tomorrow. Meg's heart was a little heavy.
Sean wasn't as boorish as he appeared to be. Now that he had become suspicious, he would definitely keep an eye on him. The assassin that was tailing Louis XIII had already proven that he hadn't given up on searching for Alex, and he didn't want Alex to die any more than Joshua did.
If Alex didn't die, then all of his efforts over the past three years would have been for naught, and the people's reverence for him would be transferred to Alex. There was only one God of War, and he had to be the most powerful one.
"Big Sister Irina, you're so awesome! You flattened such a huge bull with just a slap!" Amy looked at Irina with admiration in her eyes.
Irina was quite enjoying Amy's adoring gaze. It felt like being adored by one's own daughter was even more special. She waved her hand nonchalantly, and said, "It was just a light slap; it's not worth mentioning."
Crassus stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Little Amy, there's no need for you to be envious. Little Irina also learned melee magic from me for a period of time. Even though she's not my disciple, she's still half a senior to you. However, she wasn't proficient enough, so she didn't learn any of the truly powerful spells. When you grow up, you'll definitely be even more powerful than her. "
"Wow, white-bearded old man, I can't believe you're still hiding something from me. Back then, you told me that you were going to teach me everything you know. I can't believe you're hiding something even more powerful!" Irina raised her beautiful eyebrows and glared at Krassu.
Crassus shrugged, refusing to accept the blame. "Of course I have to teach my disciple powerful magic. Besides, little Irina, you can't accuse me wrongly. Back then, when the elves interfered with you learning magic from me, I taught you all the magic that you could learn. You were far from being able to learn other magic at that time."
Amy's eyes lit up. "So Big Sister Irina is actually my Senior Sister. That's great. If only I could be as good as Big Sister Irina in the future."
"Don't worry. Even if you're better than me, you might not be able to do it. But you're definitely better than most people. You're Irina's …" Irina looked at Amy and paused for a moment. "Junior."
Meg listened to the conversation in the carriage with a faint smile on his face. For some reason, he felt inexplicably happy.
He parked the carriage in a small alley outside the food street. A carriage with the insignia of the second prince's residence was far too conspicuous, so it was impossible to keep a low profile. It was completely unlike Meg's usual style of doing things.
"The food street is too crowded. Let's park the carriage here and walk there," Meg said with a smile as he lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Okay, okay! I want Father to hug me! I want you to lift me up high! "Amy was the first to run out. She then opened her arms and pouted at Meg.
"This is my man!" Irina raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Meg. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "You dare to hug another woman?"
"Okay, Father will hug you. Father will lift you up high." Meg smiled as he picked up Amy. He lifted her up above his head, then put her down. He lifted her up again, and then put her down again.
"Mmm!"
"So high!"
"This is so fun!"
Amy called out happily. Her face was full of smiles.
After lifting her up five or six times, Meg finally hugged Amy in his arms and kissed her forehead. He was in a great mood.
"He didn't just hug her! He even kissed her! " Irina glared. However, when she looked at Amy, her gaze softened. She felt a little strange. It was as if hugging and kissing her daughter on the forehead wasn't something out of line.
"But why are they so intimate?!" Irina looked at Meg and Amy, who were beaming with smiles, and felt a little jealous. Meg didn't even look at her from start to finish. It was as if Amy was the only person in his eyes.
"Big Sister Irina, what's wrong? Do you also want Father to hug you and lift you up high? " Amy turned to look at Irina and asked with concern. Then she patted Meg on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Father, your chance is here!"
"I …" Irina almost blurted out the word "I want". However, when she looked at Meg, who was looking at her calmly as if she was a stranger, she paused and said, "I don't want to." Then she jumped out of the carriage.
Meg raised his eyebrows. He was helpless against Amy, who was trying so hard to set him up with Irina. What kind of chance was this?
"You guys go eat first. I'm going to look for an old friend. I'll come back later," Crassus said with a smile as he got out of the carriage. Then he left with his magic caster's staff.
There was no one else in the alley. Meg looked at Irina, and Irina looked back at Meg.
The two of them stared at each other in silence, and the atmosphere seemed to have become a little awkward.
After a long while of awkward silence, Amy asked in a quiet voice, "Do you two like each other?"
Irina took Amy from her arms, then pointed at Ugly Duckling, which was squeaking feebly on the shaft of the carriage, and ordered, "I'll hold Amy, you hold it."
"Alright." Meg looked at Irina, who was holding Amy without any intention of negotiating, and picked up Ugly Duckling with a resigned expression.
She wanted to hold her own child, so how could he stop her?
Besides, even if he wanted to stop her, how could he?
They weren't even on the same level as each other!
He was like that Obsidian Rhinoceros, who could easily flatten a wooden chair with a swat.
Most importantly, she was actually a magic caster!
Hence, after a series of careful deductions, Meg decided to hold Ugly Duckling obediently.
Regardless of when they reunited, it was clearly a good thing to allow Amy and Irina to interact and improve their relationship.
However, he wasn't in the mood for the drama of a domineering princess falling in love with him just yet.
He would marry a rich and beautiful woman, reach the pinnacle of his life, and become the most powerful man in this world. He would have the most beautiful woman in the world by his side, and be envied by all of the men in the world.
That sounded like a wonderful idea, but when he thought about how he would only be able to hold Ugly Duckling at home every day and watch Amy and her mother being lovey-dovey, he simply couldn't imagine a life without any human rights!
Since he had transmigrated to this world, even if he couldn't establish a harem and live a blissful life, he had to at least be a proper husband!
"No! I have to recover my powers as soon as possible! "Meg made up his mind.
Irina had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around to look at Meg. "You seem to be very displeased with me."
