The Main Palace, Heavenly Bow City
Jason and the girls were currently busy inside the kitchen of the Main Palace, preparing the feast for the celebration.
The servants and chefs of the palace were currently helping them.
The kitchen was filled with a heavenly aroma, making the seasoned chef of the palace drool at the food. They could only wipe it off and control their stomach growling, trying to focus on finishing it on time.
As for decorations and other stuff, it wasn't Jason's responsibility so he didn't even bother with it.
While he was instructing the people inside the kitchen to move quickly, not too far away from them, two figures were hiding behind a wall staring at Jason.
"Niya, are you sure that he is the owner of the restaurant?" Difuya asked the young lady beside her.
The young lady was around the age of 16-17 years old. She was rather plain-looking and dressed in leather armor with a sword at her waist. Her name was Niya and she was the personal Royal guard of the Princess.
Niya nodded her head and bowed. "Yes, princess. His majesty calls the owner and his wives, and he even personally met them when they arrived."
"Father did? Hmm... you say 'Wives', do you mean those three beautiful women are his wives?" Difuya stared at Jason and her eyes sparkled.
'Well, he is quite handsome. If I did not know that he was a small chef, I would have mistaken him for a noble or prince of a kingdom... Haih! Why does he have to be a chef with that face?...'
"Yes, Princess." Niya nodded her head and continued. "It's a hot topic of the capital. A few noble sons of our kingdom have tried to woo them once but were rejected. The women revealed that they were already married to the owner and loved him. They would never leave him for anything..."
She furrowed his brows and stated. "And there are also rumors that aside from the three, there are two more. Someone has seen two women visiting him and they are no less beautiful than the three of them."
"Five wives?" Difuya was startled by her words. She furrowed her brows and muttered.
"Aside from his handsome face, what is there to see in him for five women to head over heels for him?"
Niya had no answer to that question of her princess since not only she but almost all the people of the capital were puzzled by it.
"And what about I have something special about me?"
While the two girls were busy chatting, a person appeared behind him, smiling and listening to their conversation.
"Aah!" Difuya and Niya jumped in shock at the sudden voice as it startled them.
"You seem rather concerned with my married life, huh, Princess?" Jason smiled at her. "I think you should worry about yourself. Because if you continue on your current path, you will lose everything."
"What did you say?" Difuya was scared for a moment before his words triggered her.
Jason looked at her angry face and smiled. "I'm telling you to tone down your arrogance Princess. Such a haughty personality suits a strong person, not a measly Low-Level Shi master like you."
"How dare you...?! You're just a mere cook! And you dare to lecture me? Niya cut off his tongue." Difuya was enraged by a mere cook daring to lecture her, the princess of the country.
Niya was hesitant since today was a grand feast. "But princess..."
"Do it!" Difuya screamed at her.
Niya could only sigh and unsheathed her sword, ready to strike Jason.
Jason grinned at their actions and raised his eyebrow. "You both are too weak to even pick my interest. Go and play somewhere else."
There was no sign of any energy fluctuations, no light of attributes energy or the white of pure Heavenly Energy.
However, at that moment, Difuya and Niya sensed an unbelievable pressure coming from above, like an entire mountain range was pressing down upon them.
*Poof*
They sat back down on the ground as their legs buckled, kneeling down in front of him.
"W-Wha... What did you do?" Princess Difuya cried out in horror. Her voice carried a deep fear that wasn't there before.
Even Niya was trembling in her spot, staring warringly at Jason.
Jason waved his hand and spoke impatiently. "I have to finish my job before the feast begins so go and play somewhere else. I don't have time to look after a spoiled princess..."
After saying that he walked back into the kitchen without looking back.
Princess Difuya stared at his back and gritted her teeth in hatred. She picked herself up from the ground and ran in the opposite direction.
Niya sighed and followed her, still trembling from the fear she felt just now...
In the royal study, Emperor Di Fengling was seated on his chair. Beside him was Admiral Zhou and Finance Minister Yunchen.
Aside from them, a middle-aged man stood behind Di Fengling. He had a dignified expression on his face with his figure revealing the aura of a venerable sage. He was the current Prime Minister of the Heavenly Bow Empire, Tang Guosheng.
Just like Zhou Shuiniu and Xiao Yunchen, he was also a very respected figure in the kingdom, supporting Di Fengling with loyalty and his deep insights.
"So, have you decided to send Xiao Ruse to the Fei Li Military Academy for training?" Admiral Zhou asked.
Xiao Yunchen nodded his head. "Yeah. Previously she was very downcast because of her inability to awaken her jewels which led her to join the Military to prove herself. But with the current situation, she actively asked me to send her to the Fei Li Empire to study."
Admiral Zhou and Di Fengling nodded their heads.
Tang Guosheng thought for a moment and said. "Well, it might be a good idea but I'm a little worried."
"What makes you worry?" Di Fengling asked as he furrowed his brows.
"According to my knowledge, the Fei Li Military Academy doesn't accept any nobility title except the Prince or Princess. And it was mostly ruled by the nobles of the Fei Li empire who actively enslaved many talented people in return for providing them with resources. With how poor our kingdom is... I'm afraid of the worst-case scenario."
Admiral Zhou furrowed his brows before sighing and speaking.
"I understand your concern, Old Tang. But I think it will be a good experience for Little Ruse.
If the children will not venture into the outside world and suffer, then they will not grow... You are forgetting that I have also studied in that same academy previously."
Tang Guosheng thought and nodded his head since Zhou Shuiniu was right.
*Bang*
While the four of them were chatting, someone pushed open the door abruptly, without knocking at all.
