Meg slowly walked over with a smile on his face. He appeared calm and kind, and his meticulous chef's robe was not stained with oil at all. It was impossible to tell that he was a chef who had just walked out of the kitchen.
"He can cook good food, and he's able to go to the banquet hall. He's a perfect match!"
"I've always wanted to marry a man who can cook, but the men who can cook are all old men. I didn't expect such a handsome man to exist!"
"Father, will the best chef at the palace banquet be given a noble title? Will he be worthy of our family? "
The eyes of the young ladies lit up. A chef who could make delicious food that even His Majesty the King praised, and who was also so handsome, was simply too attractive. They could not close their legs to describe their feelings at this time.
"These shameless women dare to steal my man?" Irina's cold gaze swept over the women, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
The women felt a chill run down their necks, and they subconsciously shrank back. They looked left and right, a little confused.
Hearing those women's words, Meg's smile became a little smug. There was no imperial examination in this world, but as a chef, he had achieved success in one fell swoop. Even these noble ladies couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that his charm was not to be underestimated.
Meg was feeling smug when he suddenly met Irina's cold gaze. It was as if he had suddenly fallen into an Antarctic glacier from a forty-five-degree desert. The cold feeling caused the smile on his face to instantly freeze. He subconsciously shivered, and immediately put on a serious expression.
"Holy f * ck! Do you have to be so scary? I almost forgot that there's a princess here! "Meg's little heart trembled, and he felt like he would be frozen into an ice cube if he were to act recklessly for another second.
"Hmph! At least you know what's good for you! " Irina retracted her gaze, but she was still a little annoyed. In the past, he wouldn't even look at other women, but now he was so proud of them.
Meg turned his gaze to Amy and flashed her a smile. Although they had been separated for an entire morning, he wasn't worried at all that she wouldn't be full.
Everyone in the banquet hall might not be full, but Amy was definitely full.
"Father!"
Amy also waved happily at Meg, but she was smart enough not to make a sound.
Meg also saw Luna and nodded slightly. The person sitting beside her should be her grandfather, the drunken and long-winded old man in Alex's memory.
Byron looked at Meg and sighed. "I didn't expect him to be so young. If the multiplication table can be popularized, his name will be forever recorded in the annals of history."
The ministers felt the same way. They did not expect Meg to be so young.
One had to realize that Head Chef Bellmann was already in his sixties, and he had been the head chef of the imperial kitchen for close to 30 years, yet he had lost to a young man who appeared to be no more than 30 years old.
Meg was not nervous at all. After all, in his previous life, he was someone who dared to jump on the stage of a music festival and pretend to be a guest. He could handle this kind of situation.
However, he did find a lot of familiar faces in Alex's memory. Many of the ministers in the court had already chosen to side with either Joshua or Sean, but there were also a lot of people who did not choose to side with either of them. They were fence-sitters, or they were on the king's side.
In Meg's view, this battle for the throne was a magnified version of a battle for the family's inheritance, except that the losing side would be fatal. It was a pity that he didn't have an elder brother or younger brother to fight for the family's inheritance with him in his previous life. Otherwise, he would know how to participate in such an interesting event.
As for the protagonists of this battle for the throne, Meg took a look at the two princes, whose clothes were soaked in sweat and were still holding onto a jug of ice water, and his mood immediately lightened.
Josh forced a smile at Meg. Although the current situation was a little difficult, Sean was in a similar situation. Most importantly, the emperor was happy, and Meg was his lucky star.
Meg returned an apologetic smile, but he was actually laughing in his heart.
Sean's resentful and angry gaze was completely ignored by him.
How dare you two little b * tches plot against me back then? The spiciness was just the beginning. According to the system's warning, three times the insanely spicy level would change the quality of the food.
Tyron led Meg forward before respectfully retreating to the side.
Meg composed himself and looked at the king, who was sitting on the throne, and bowed respectfully. "Commoner Meg pays his respects to Your Majesty."
The king looked at Meg with a hint of surprise. He raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities. I didn't think that you would be able to cook such delicious and unique dishes at such a young age."
Meg straightened up and said humbly, "I am indebted to Your Majesty. Compared to many of my seniors, I am still very inexperienced. I am truly ashamed to receive such an honor."
The king, who had been on the throne for over 40 years, was a lot older than three years ago in Alex's memory. His originally black hair had turned grey, and the wrinkles on his face were a lot more obvious.
However, he still had a powerful aura that could not be ignored as he sat on the throne.
He was like an elderly lion king, still able to protect his territory.
Meg was still unsure whether the incident three years ago had anything to do with him.
However, the way he handled the matter after that proved that he had at least tacitly approved of the incident, and he was even more biased toward Josh, which was why he had used a few demons to suppress the matter.
The king shook his head with a smile, and said, "You may be young, but your culinary skills have already reached the pinnacle. All three dishes are extremely delicious, so there's no need to be humble."
Meg withdrew his gaze, and said in a respectful manner, "You're far too kind, Your Majesty."
Josh put down the kettle of ice water, and the burning sensation in his throat had subsided. He adjusted his clothes, and said with a smile, "Father, Master Meg's culinary skills are already top-notch in Chaos City. Before coming here, he even defeated the number one chef in Chaos City in a cooking competition, so he definitely deserves to be named the best dish by you."
"That's very thoughtful of you, Your Majesty." The king nodded as he looked at Mag, and said, "Master Mag's culinary skills are superb, and I'm very pleased with all of the dishes that he made. As such, I've decided to reward him with 1,000 dragon coins and appoint him as the assistant chef of the royal kitchen. He can take up the position immediately."
A commotion immediately erupted in the palace, and all of the officials wore astonished expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't be making excuses, but I already have a restaurant in Chaos City, so please forgive me for not being able to stay in the palace."
