"Are you serious, Principal? Asking a restaurant owner about the power of the world?" Meg's eyelids twitched as he looked at the serious Novan. Being stared at by those wise eyes reminded him of being stared at by a primary school principal.
After a moment of serious thought, Meg cleared his throat, and said, "I think that the power of the world is bound to be divided after a long period of union, and it's bound to be united after a long period of separation. It's not something that an individual can interfere with, and it's not something that a chef like me can predict."
"It's bound to be divided after a long period of union, and it's bound to be united after a long period of separation …" Novan murmured softly before suddenly bursting into laughter. "Haha, great! I didn't think that Mr. Mak would be able to see through this better than us old fellows. Division and unification are indeed the power of the world, and it's not something that can be stopped by humans. "
"Looks like this continent is going to be chaotic again." Crassus sighed as he took a sip from his wine glass. He didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Meg looked at the two of them, and didn't say anything else. He had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen. Could it have something to do with the king's birthday banquet tomorrow?
Only Amy was happily eating the delicacies in front of her. Her little tummy was so big that it seemed like it could fit an elephant.
After dinner, Crassus and Novan left together, while Meg took Amy back to the second prince's residence in a horse-drawn carriage.
Along the way, the coachman, who had been knocked unconscious by Irina's chair in the morning, carefully asked Meg what had happened to him today.
Meg naturally diverted this matter to the accident caused by Sean, and successfully removed himself from this matter. At the same time, he pushed the blame to Sean.
Meg didn't have to worry about whether this would add another grudge between Sean and Josh, who were already on bad terms with each other. What he had to worry about now was going to the palace to cook for the king the next day.
Apart from grilled fish, steak, and braised chicken, Meg also prepared the ultimate trump card for the king who loved desserts — ice cream cake.
…
After washing up, Amy lay on the bed with Meg's arm as her pillow. She looked at Meg with her big eyes and whispered, "Father, Big Sister Irina said today that she knows Mother and that she's the most beautiful elf in the elf tribe. Is that true?"
"How dare you …" Meg rolled his eyes in his mind, but when he saw Amy's expectant gaze, his heart softened. He smiled and nodded as he said gently, "Yes, your mother is the most beautiful elf in the world. She's as beautiful as Irina."
"Didn't you say you didn't like Big Sister Irina? Now you've let the cat out of the bag, haven't you?" Amy smiled smugly.
Meg was noncommittal and asked with a smile, "Then does Amy like her?"
"Yes, of course I do." Amy nodded without hesitation. Then she smiled and said, "When I lay in her arms, I felt like I was lying in my mother's arms. It was so warm. It was completely different from when I lay in the arms of Teacher Luna and Big Sister Yabemiya."
Ai Mi had a sweet smile on her face. She closed her eyes and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
"Because she's your mother." Meg looked at Amy, who was lying on his arm, and gently kissed her forehead before closing his eyes as well.
…
"Amy … little Amy … this little girl is so sensible and cute, but I've never taken care of a child before. How am I going to get along with her in the future?
"I heard that there are a lot of kidnappers nowadays. Should I tie her up with a rope?
"I heard that children are very picky when it comes to food. Will she dislike the food I make?
"I heard …"
At the window of an exquisite room, a figure sat on the windowsill, swinging her legs as she muttered to herself. She seemed to be in a dilemma.
…
At the edge of The Wind Forest.
A beautiful elf emerged from the bushes with her hands on her hips. She murmured to herself with a vexed expression, "It's already the 16th day … Did those guys really cancel the deal?"
There were some leaves on her body and hair, and her clothes were a little dirty and disheveled. She had two dark circles under her eyes, and she looked very fatigued.
"Tomorrow is the birthday of the king of the Roth Empire. Princess Irina has already gone to Rodu. If they didn't cancel the deal, then it's most likely going to happen in the next two days." She looked in the direction of The Wind Forest, and her expression became resolute again. She turned and disappeared into the dense forest.
…
In the study of the second prince's manor.
Josh stood behind his desk with his brows slightly furrowed. "Looks like Sean is also suspicious of Meg's identity. That's why he allowed his subordinates to crash into my horse-drawn carriage today. He didn't think that Irina and Crassus would both be in the carriage."
Seuss had already returned to Rodu, and he was concealed in the darkness. He said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, we still haven't found out who this man is. Could he really be Alex in disguise? Both the timing and the daughter fit the description too well.
"Do you think Alex would set up a roast beef stall and sell roast beef for an entire afternoon just to tear down the sign on the door of a roast beef restaurant? Would he be able to make his customers fall in love with his roast beef? "
"This … He definitely wouldn't do something like that."
…
Meg woke up early the next morning. After helping Amy wash up, the butler knocked on his door.
"Mr. Meg, are you ready? I'm here to take you to the royal palace, "the butler said with a smile.
"Us?" Meg was slightly surprised to hear this. He was only a chef, after all, and an important occasion like the king's birthday banquet naturally wouldn't allow a chef to bring his family into the royal palace. He had even considered the possibility of having Amy stay in the second prince's manor alone for a day.
The smile on the butler's face became even more respectful as he said, "His Highness said that Master Crassus has already informed him that Amy will be accompanying him to the royal palace as his disciple."
The second prince's manor was very close to the Magus Tower, so it was no secret that Amy had defeated Kola as a 5th-tier magic caster. A prodigy like her was destined to become an important figure in the future.
"Thank you for your help." Meg was enlightened. With Crassus' status, it wasn't a big deal for him to bring his only disciple to the king's birthday banquet.
In the horse-drawn carriage, Amy whispered into Meg's ear, "Father, will we see Big Sister Irina today?"
"Most likely." Meg nodded before whispering, "But Amy can't act too familiar with Big Sister Irina in the royal palace."
"I know. Big Sister Irina is so beautiful, so there must be a lot of people who want to marry her. If they find out that Father wants to marry her as well, they'll definitely try to get back at Father. I'll pretend that I'm not familiar with Big Sister Irina." Amy nodded obediently.
"Good girl."
Meg patted Amy's head with a peculiar expression.
The horse-drawn carriage drove into the grand royal palace, and after it came to a stop, Meg and Amy drew back the curtain to reveal a human-sized wooden birdman sculpture.
"What an ugly birdman! I was scared to death! "
