After touring the entire food street for the entire afternoon, Meg and Amy stroked their slightly round bellies as they boarded the horse-drawn carriage.
Meg had given Cindy a handwritten roast beef recipe. He had watched Cindy cook roast beef for the entire afternoon, and this detailed recipe included everything from sauces to heat control. How much Cindy would be able to master and what kind of roast beef he would be able to cook would depend on his talent and hard work.
As for the reason why he had taken back his restaurant, it was very simple; it was because he cherished his reputation.
Cindy was indeed an interesting person, but Meg was already very generous of him to have given him a complete recipe, so there was no need to give him his signature.
If Cindy's roast beef kebabs were to his liking the next time he came to Rodu, perhaps he would consider giving him a name.
The horse-drawn carriage passed by Cary's Rotisserie, only to find that Cindy's cart had already disappeared. Who knew how long it would take for Cary's Rotisserie to recover its popularity, or for Cindy's rotisserie to continue its decline?
The atmosphere in the second prince's manor was still very tense and tense. The horse-drawn carriage entered the manor through the side gate, and Meg had only just disembarked when the butler rushed over to him with a wide smile on his face. "Master Meg, you're finally back! His Highness is still waiting for you to cook dinner."
"His Highness hasn't eaten yet?" Meg was rather surprised to hear this, but he was cursing internally. He had purposely missed dinner time before returning, and it was already dark in Rodu. Who would've thought that Josh would still be waiting for him to cook dinner for him?
"Indeed, His Highness has specifically instructed us to only eat your cooking tonight, but you still haven't returned, and we almost went out to look for you." The butler nodded with a hint of resentment in his voice as he accepted the gift from Meg's hands. "Master Meg, I'll hold the gift for you; let's go to the kitchen now."
"Alright." Meg nodded. It seemed that he had to leave a deep impression on Joshua on the last night.
"By the way, Master Meg, the second prince said that we won't be eating spicy grilled fish today. We'll only be eating other dishes," the steward added as he followed behind Meg.
"That's such a pity." Meg looked regretful.
Meg made a braised chicken and rice as well as a black pepper steak for Meg. He then gestured for the maid to bring the dishes away. He took off his apron, and was just about to call for Amy, who was playing with Ugly Duckling at the entrance of the kitchen when the butler from before quickly strode in from outside. He looked at Meg, and said, "Master Meg, the second prince wants to see you. Please come with me."
Meg's expression stiffened slightly, and he quickly nodded as he replied, "Alright."
He followed the butler into an elegant restaurant not far away from the kitchen, where Josh was eating a steak. It had only been a day since they last met, but he appeared to have aged significantly. His face was a little pale, and there was a short stubble on his chin. His hair was disheveled, and his dark eye sockets suggested that he hadn't closed them yet. There was also a faint knife wound on his neck.
If it weren't for the lavish robes he was wearing, Josh would've looked like a drunken vagrant under a bridge, and he was wolfing down his steak in a rather ravenous manner.
Josh's knife and fork paused upon hearing the sound of footsteps. He looked up at Meg, and a slightly dazed expression appeared on his face. He seemed to have caught sight of the black figure who was swinging his sword toward him, and he immediately tightened his grip on the knife in his hand. His gaze fell on Meg's smiling face, and he hesitated momentarily before putting down the knife in his hand.
Josh looked at Meg, and nodded as he said, "Master Meg, you won the best dish award at the royal banquet yesterday, and your culinary skills are unrivaled in the world. However, are you sure you don't want to stay in Rodu, Mr. Meg? Even if you don't work in my manor, I can open a restaurant in Rodu that's twice the size of the one in Chaos City for you. "
Meg shook his head, and replied, "Thank you for your kind offer, Your Highness, but I'm very attached to my restaurant. I boldly turned down Your Majesty's offer in the palace yesterday, so I can only thank you for your kind offer."
Josh stared at Meg for a while before withdrawing his gaze with a smile, and said, "Alright, even Father can't keep you here, let alone me. It's just a pity that I won't be able to taste such delicious steak in the future. However, I'll leave this position open for you. If you want to come to Rodu, just let me know, and I'll be able to arrange everything for you. "
"Then I'll thank you right here, Your Highness." Meg nodded with a smile. His expression hadn't changed much this entire time.
"You're going back to Chaos City tomorrow, so go back and get some rest." Josh picked up his knife and fork again, and continued to eat his steak.
"Farewell." Meg cupped his fist in a salute, and took a discreet glance at the curtain before departing.
Not long after Meg left, two black figures quickly strode into the room.
"Your Highness, we didn't find anything suspicious in Meg's room, nor did we find the Tian Du sword," one of the black-robed men said in a respectful manner as he half-knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, according to reliable intelligence, Meg's identity has been verified. His real name is Noah Gould. The Gould Family used to be a small noble family, and their ancestors were once chefs for the late emperor. However, they gradually declined, and by Noah Gould's generation, they had already lost their noble title.
Five years ago, an elf became enemies with Timothy of the Barkley Family, resulting in the destruction of the Barkley Family. Mag fled from Rodu with that elf. It's said that the elf was pregnant at the time, and judging from her age, she should be around the same age as Mag's daughter. Perhaps Mag is concealing his age in order to avoid his enemies, "another black-robed man quickly added.
"Is the information accurate?" Josh's brows furrowed tightly as he continued to recall that sword strike from the night before.
"The information from Chaos City matches as well, so there shouldn't be any issues," the black-robed man replied in a firm voice.
"The Barkley Family … Timothy. He really is a smart man. He knew that even if he entered the royal palace, he wouldn't be able to defeat Timothy, so he chose to escape again." A cold smile appeared on Josh's face.
The black-robed man said in a quiet voice, "Your Highness, seeing as we were able to find out his identity, there should be many people in Rodu who can do the same. Should we protect him?"
"Protect him? Heh. " A cold smile appeared on Josh's face as he said, "Deliver this news to Young Master Timothy as soon as possible. Let him know that the man who stole his woman is still alive, and that he has an adorable daughter."
The black-robed man was a little perplexed, but he still replied in a respectful manner, "Yes."
