After the showdown between the Council of Elders and the Shadowflame Dragon, the system of selecting heirs had essentially become a thing in name only, so Mel no longer needed to attend the Council of Elders' meetings every day.
He could now fully enjoy his rare vacation life on the Blackflame Plains.
However, the Blackflame Plains were far less bustling than Red Castle or Furious Wind City, so after half a month, Cousin Mel took his leave and left.
"I used to dislike Red Castle, always believing the Tributary River Mouth was the best place in the world. But after getting used to living in Red Castle, I find the countryside too quiet. The nightlife in Red Castle is much more enchanting," Mel said with a flourish of his sleeve as he departed with style.
Watching his cousin leave,
Russell reflected to himself, "That's because you've never seen the big cities on Earth, where the bustle of the city is truly captivating."
