Chapter 733 That Really Scared Me!

Are you serious, Principal Novan? You’re asking a chef whether the continent should be divided or unified? Mag’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Novan’s serious expression. He felt as if here were a primary school student being scrutinized by the principal.

After carefully contemplating the question, Mag cleared his throat, and replied, “In my opinion, the continent will go through a constant cycle where unification will give way to division, and vice versa. Everything will follow the natural order and cannot be swayed by one man, let alone be predicted by a chef like me.”

“A constant cycle, eh...” Novan repeated to himself before suddenly bursting into laughter as he said, “Haha, who would’ve thought that your insight would be much wiser than that of old men like me. Indeed, the natural order is not something that can be defied by any single man.”

“Looks like the continent is going to be plunged into turmoil soon.” Krassu heaved a faint sigh as he took a sip of wine, seemingly in rather low spirits.

Mag looked at the two of them, and didn’t say anything further. He also had a feeling that a major event was going to take place soon. Could it have something to do with the king’s birthday banquet scheduled for the next day?

Only Amy was joyfully enjoying the dishes on her table, stuffing food relentlessly down her mouth as if her little stomach could hold an entire elephant.

Following the conclusion of the meal, Krassu and Novan departed, while Mag and Amy returned to the second prince’s manor on the horse-drawn carriage.

Along the way, the coach driver who had been knocked out by Irina earlier in the day carefully inquired Mag about what had happened.

Mag naturally blamed it on Sean and his rhinoceros-drawn carriage, thereby diverting the center of attention away from Irina and pinning the blame on Sean.

Josh and Sean were already sworn enemies, and this latest incident would serve to stoke the flames of their mutual enmity. However, that was not something for Mag to be concerned about. All he had to worry about was cooking for the king the next day.

Mag knew that the king was a fan of sweet foods, so aside from the grilled fish, steak, and braised chicken, he had also prepared a final trump card: his ice cream cake.

...

After brushing her teeth, Amy lay down her on her bed with her head resting on Mag’s arm. She looked up at Mag with her large bright eyes, and whispered, “Father, Big Sister Irina told me that she knew Mother, and that Mother was the most beautiful elf in the entire elven race, is that true?”

She sure is modest... Mag rolled his eyes internally, but he nodded with a gentle smile as she replied, “That’s right, your mother is the most beautiful elf in the entire world, just as beautiful as Irina.”

“Hehe, you told me you didn’t like Big Sister Irina, but you were lying, weren’t you?” A smug smile appeared on Amy’s face.

Mag smiled, and answered her question with one of his own. “Do you like her, Amy?”

“Of course I do!” Amy immediately nodded with a smile on her face as she said, “When she hugged me, I felt like I was being hugged by Mother. It was so warm and comfortable; completely different from when I’m being hugged by Teacher Luna or Big Sister Yabemiya.”

A sweet smile appeared on Amy’s little face, and she slowly closed her eyes before falling asleep.

“That’s because she really is your mother.” Mag gently planted a kiss on her forehead before also closing his eyes.

...

“Xiao Mi... Amy... She’s such an adorable and thoughtful little girl, but I’ve never had a child before; how should I live with her in the future?

“I heard that there are many people abducting children nowadays; should I tie her on a leash?

“I heard all little kids are really picky with their food; will she dislike my cooking?

“I heard...”

Within an intricately crafted room, a gorgeous figure sat on the windowsill, murmuring to herself with a concerned look on her face.

...

On the border of the Wind Forest.

A beautiful elf emerged from a bush with her hands on her hips. She had a rather cross expression on her face as she murmured to herself, “It’s been 16 days... Have those bastards really canceled the deal?”

There were leaves all over her hair and body, and her dress was rather dirty and in disarray. She also had a pair of dark circles around her eyes, and the exhaustion on her face was quite apparent.

“Tomorrow will be the king’s birthday, and Princess Irina has already gone to Rodu. If they haven’t canceled the deal, then it’ll most likely be taking place soon.” The elf took a glance in the direction of the Wind Forest, and a determined look reappeared on her face as she turned and disappeared into the dense forestry.

...

In the study of the second prince’s manner. The link to the origin of this information rests in No(v)elFire.net

Josh stood behind his desk with his brows furrowed as he mused, “Looks like Sean is also suspecting Mag’s identity, which is why he deliberately crashed into my manor’s horse-drawn carriage. I bet he wasn’t expecting Irina and Krassu to be on the carriage, though.”

Seuss had already returned to Rodu. In his coarse voice, he replied, “Your Highness, we are still unable to verify that man’s identity, and he really is very suspicious. Could it be that he truly is Alex in disguise?”

“Do you think that Alex would sell roast meat at a roadside stall for an entire afternoon just so he could rip a sign off a restaurant? Do you think Alex could possibly be such an exceptional chef?”

“That... That’s indeed rather implausible.”

...

The next day, Mag woke up bright and early. After dressing Amy and helping her brush her teeth, he heard the sound of knocking on the door.

He opened the door to find the butler from the day before standing outside, looking at him with a smile as he said, “Are you ready, Mr. Mag? I’m here to take you and your daughter to the royal palace.”

“Amy as well?” Mag was rather surprised to hear this. He was only a chef, after all, and it was clearly inappropriate for a chef to bring a family member along with them into the royal palace. He had already made preparations to leave Amy behind in the second prince’s manor for a day.

The butler’s expression became even more respectful as he explained, “His Highness told me that Master Krassu is insisting on taking Young Mistress Amy to the palace as his disciple.”

The second prince was very close with the Magus Tower, so he was naturally already aware that Amy had defeated Kola and was a four-year-old 5th-tier magic caster. A child of her extraordinary talent was sure to become a legendary figure one day.

Mag nodded as an enlightened look appeared on his face. Indeed, it certainly wouldn’t be an issue for a man of Krassu’s prestige to take his disciple to attend the king’s birthday banquet.

On the horse-drawn carriage, Amy turned to Mag, and whispered, “Father, will we be seeing Big Sister Irina today?”

“We probably will.” Mag nodded before whispering, “Little Amy, make sure you pretend not to know Big Sister Irina all that well when we get to the palace.”

“Don’t worry, Father, I know what to do. Big Sister Irina is so beautiful, so there must be a lot of people who want to marry her. If they know that Father also wants to marry her, they’ll be very angry at Father, so we both have to pretend not to know Big Sister Irina,” Amy analyzed with her bizarre logic.

“Good girl.”

Mag patted Amy’s little head with a rather peculiar expression.

After the horse-drawn carriage stopped within the grand royal palace, Mag and Amy opened the carriage’s curtain, only to be immediately greeted by the sight of a statue of a birdman that was about as tall as a grown man.

“What an ugly bird! That really scared me!”

Amy reflexively kicked the wooden statue flying.
