Chapter 1629: There's No Woman Fairer Than You

"What do you think about this wall mural?" Irina asked Mag after they left the Gray Temple.

"It proves that our deduction is right. The Great Old Ones do exist, and they have the ability to bewitch us, and make the entire world go hysterical." Mag paused. He looked at Irina, and said, "On top of that, the races had once worked together to seal the Great Old Ones up. That means that these fellows aren't completely invincible. As long as the entire Norland Continent can work together before they will have finally broken out from the seal, we might be able to find a way to reseal them."

Irina fell silent for a while before saying, "Since the giant dragons already know about the existence of the Great Old Ones, they would definitely be on our side during the negotiation."

"I doubt it. It's still unknown if the giant dragons would stand on our side because of a wall mural, but as a very proud race, they have always thought that the giant dragons are the strongest of all. I'm afraid it's not easy to make them believe that there is something in this world that is even stronger than them, and that this something could kill them as easily as swatting a fly." Mag shook his head. He was not very optimistic about this situation, but he still said with a smile, "However, this can become our proof. Now we have evidence and information that could help us. Perhaps this would be able to convince more people about the existence of the Great Old Ones in this world."

"What about Sean? Are we going to let him go back just like that without doing anything?" Irina asked.

"What do you want to do?" Mag asked with a smile.

"Forget it. There's no point, since we can't kill him." Irina thought for a while and shook her head. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold myself back if I see him."

In the brightly lit hot pot restaurant, the furnishing and renovation had been completed.

Rena, who just knocked off from Mamy Restaurant, was briefing a group of elves there.

"I will be completely in charge of the hot pot soup base at the start. However, for the ingredients, serving, and all other aspects, I will need all of you to act strictly according to the restaurant's rules. The hot pot restaurant will be open in three days' time. We don't have much time to practice, but we must do our best before we open." Rena looked at the 50 elves in uniforms standing in front of her, and seriously said, "Everyone has been very serious in learning these few days, and we can already basically handle 1,000 customers dining at a time, but this is still not enough, because if we can only just manage, once an accident happened, we would all be flustered."

The elves all listened attentively with no signs of impatience.

"All of you are the most outstanding elves chosen from the Night Elves. I know your capabilities far exceed working in a restaurant. Also, three months later, another batch will be coming in. I think that all of you will become the best in the food and beverage industry when you leave." Rena smiled. She swept a glance at the elves, and said, "I hope that in the coming three months, we can all make Mana Hot Pot Restaurant into the second best hot pot restaurant in Chaos City."

The elves all smiled.

Rena continued, "Alright. We will continue our simulation training for another three hours, and expand each individual's area in charge, simplify our serving steps, finalize our routes and orders…"

Lola, who was lying outside, heard sounds of tossing and turning from the bedroom. She got up, lit an oil lamp, and put on her robe. After that, she walked to the bed, and asked, "Princess, are you having trouble falling asleep?"

Vanessa turned her head, and the soft glow from the light shone into her eyes. She sat right up and looked at Lola, saying, "Lola, let's make a run for it again."

"Huh?" Lola was stunned. She quickly shook her head, and said, "No, Your Highness, we can't run again. If the first prince catches us, I will be beaten to death."

"Don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you." Vanessa reached her hand out, and pulled Lola over to sit on the bed. She softly said, "I don't want to go home at all. I haven't had enough fun. Those fellows at Rodu aren't interesting at all. It's way more fun outside."

Lola looked at Vanessa, and her heart softened. She knew better than anyone what the princess had been going through all those years.

Those nobles would fawn over the princess, but none of them actually treated her as a friend. They even said nasty things about the princess.

Therefore, the princess didn't like gatherings, didn't like Rodu, and didn't like all those nobles.

These several months in Chaos City were probably the princess's happiest days.

She had never seen her smile so happily every day like now. She made friends that might be low in status but were genuine, and even managed to cure her teeth.

"But Your Highness, now that your dental problems are cured, you will be the most beautiful woman in Rodu. Don't you want to show those fellows, who have been talking bad and laughing at you behind your back, how you look now, and then make them go home and cry in despair?" Lola asked Vanessa.

"Hm?" Vanessa was taken aback. After thinking through it seriously, she looked at Lola, and challenged, "Am I really the fairest woman in Rodu now?"

"Mm-hm. There's no woman fairer than you." Lola nodded with certainty. She smiled. She had no idea where the princess learned that saying.

"In that case, that's really a reason to go back." Vanessa propped her chin on her hand, and started to smile broadly. She was already looking forward to the next royal banquet where she would be dressed in her best dress and looking down proudly at all of those little b*tches who would be so shocked they couldn't even close their mouths.

"Alright. Since Royal Mother and Royal Father miss me, I should go back." Vanessa nodded.

Lola heaved a sigh of relief. She was still unaware of what kind of punishment would await her after this trip back. After all, she did not report to anyone about her escape with the princess. This alone could cause her to die a hundred times.

"We'll go back for a while, and then run out again. Back here to Chaos City," Vanessa continued.

"Again?"

"Of course. Mamy Restaurant is the source of my happiness every day. Of course I have to come back." Vanessa nodded with certainty.

Sean, two army generals, and two great magic casters were gathered in a meeting room.

"Your Highness. Alex and Irina have not appeared for the past two days. Could they be plotting something?" one of the generals asked Sean worriedly.

"Yes. Those two are very cocky. They didn't even restrain themselves in Rodu, but here in Chaos City, they are lying so quietly. I'm afraid there might be a trap," Brent said with a nod.

Everyone started giving their opinions, making the meeting room filled with worry.

Although they had two 10th-tier knights and two 10th-tier great magic casters in their group, their opponents were Alex and Irina, the two super devils. They were not confident even if they had the advantage of having twice their numbers.

"They've really changed. If it had been those Alex and Irina in the past, we would have met them before we've even arrived in Chaos City," Sean said with a grave expression. This situation made them even more worried instead.
