Back in the capital, Elias began experimenting with the magical peppers, creating dishes that captivated even the most discerning palates. His innovations earned him the admiration of the Magician's Guild and the royal court.
The king, impressed yet again, invited Elias to a private meeting. "You've achieved so much, Elias. What's next for you?"
Elias thought for a moment before replying, "To keep cooking, keep creating, and keep making people smile. That's all I've ever wanted."
The king smiled, raising his glass. "To Elias Moretti, the kingdom's greatest chef and an inspiration to us all."
