"I'll cook something else when we get back, that should be enough for the kids."

How old is the child?

Yuan Hua looked up at Vilian, picked up his fork, and forked a piece of apple.

"Both of them have just started kindergarten, one is a boy and the other is a girl."

Vilian sat up straight, his ample breasts standing tall, which even excited Baron Nash.

"By the way, is there something you need?"

Vilian became slightly more serious.

"I don't think it's as simple as you just want to invite me to dinner. After all, I'm an adult and you're still so young. You probably don't have a crush on me, do you?"

"..."

This half-joking remark left Yuan Hua speechless...

"Wait...wait...could it be that you really have taken a liking to me...?"

Vilian's expression froze...

"Little brother, you need to be rational. I'm already quite old. If you're going to find someone, you should find someone around your age..."

"No, no, sister, you've misunderstood."

Yuan Hua quickly shook his head.

"Let me briefly explain my situation. I am a castrator, the kind who travels around to be executed. I came from a great Eastern country and am heading west... I came to the West to travel. I just arrived here and am unfamiliar with the place, so I thought I would ask you, sister, for some information to enrich my adventure experience."

"That's it..."

Vilian's expression softened slightly, but also held a hint of disappointment...

I thought the child was about to have a father.

What, are you still not satisfied?

"It's not important, feel free to ask any questions."

Seeing that Yuan Hua had a clear goal, Vilian didn't think much of it and agreed immediately.

"first question."

Yuan Hua took out his notebook.

"How do I get to my sister's heart?"

"laugh--"

Vilian chuckled, completely amused.

"Grumpy."

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Seriously, how can I get to see the High Priest?"

Yuan Hua became a little more serious.

"Lady Lilia? What do you want to see her for?"

Vilian paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"Make friends".

Yuan Hua tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

"Huh? To become friends with Lady Lilia?"

Vilian placed his palm on Yuan Hua's forehead and carefully felt it...

"You don't have a fever..."

"No, is there a problem?"

Yuan Hua pushed Vilian's hand away, his mind a jumbled mess...

Something's just not right about this journey; everywhere I go, I encounter oddballs.

"There's a problem, a huge problem."

Vilian's expression turned serious.

"You should give up on that idea. You're the first person to want to be friends with Lady Lilia."

Isn't the meaning of a journey to witness new people and new things?

Yuan Hua was a little puzzled; why did everyone like to be a riddle solver?

"Considering you're from out of town, I'll explain it to you."

Vilian didn't bother keeping them in suspense any longer and stated the truth directly.

"At first, it wasn't difficult to see Lady Lilia. Anyone could go to the tower to meet the High Priest. But things have changed in recent years. For some reason, Lady Lilia's temper has suddenly become much more irritable. Many people speculate that it is because the dragon bloodline within Lady Lilia has awakened, leading to her irritability."

"In order to protect the safety of the people, His Majesty the Lion King has decreed that no outsiders may enter the tower without permission."

"We haven't seen Lady Lilia since then."

"what?"

Yuan Hua was taken aback...

"Could it be...?"

"You guessed right, spring has arrived, and the dragon-human girls are in love."

The sound of ascension rang out again.

"If you couldn't find a lover to vent your anger on, wouldn't you be furious? Friendly reminder: Lilia is a red dragon; when she erupts in rage, very few can withstand it."

"I can cure it."

Yuan Hua made the decision directly.

"what?"

Vilian shuddered, and the steak in his hand fell back onto the plate...

“I said, I can cure the high priest’s illness.”

"..."

"This is no joke, you'd better think this through."

Vilian gave Yuan Hua a deep look.

"His Majesty the King has been troubled by the problem of the High Priest for a long time. If you can solve it, that would be a good thing. If you cannot solve it, you may very well die at the hands of the High Priest."

"So irritable?"

Upon hearing that someone might die, Yuan Hua hesitated for a moment.

“There was more than one. For example, the last one who treated Lady Lilia went to the High Priest to perform some kind of shamanistic ritual, and Lady Lilia slapped him to death.”

“Eh——”

Yuan Hua could already imagine the scene of the underworld.

"What about the others?"

"Some people come here simply to scam others, while others come for psychological counseling. Without exception, they all failed. His Majesty the King is also taking a chance, thinking, 'Whoever it is, let's give it a try first.'"

"If it doesn't work, we can just kick them out."

"Don't worry, I will prove myself."

Yuan Hua patted his chest.

"This marriage proposal ceremony is the best opportunity for me."

"Didn't you come here for the princess?"

Vilian smiled.

"of course not."

Yuan Hua straightened his back.

"My journey should not end here."

Chapter 122 A Ruthless True Man

"Your ambition is great, I support you."

Vilian turned to look at the steak in front of him.

"The taste is alright, but it's still more economical to cook it yourself."

"If I may ask, what does Your Highness look like?"

Yuan Hua pretended to be calm as he put the steak into his mouth.

"Are you a looks-obsessed person?"

Vilian glanced at Yuan Hua.

"No, I'm just curious."

Yuan Hua shook his head.

"As I traveled along, I noticed that many people were discussing the princess's appearance. I wondered, how could the people of the empire not recognize her, as a princess of the empire?"

"Um... Her Highness is a little chubby... so she doesn't really like going out..."

Vilian scratched his head awkwardly.

"Slightly chubby?"

Yuan Hua felt a chill run down his spine and made a mental note of the word "slightly chubby".

It's probably more than just being slightly chubby...

Dinner ended hastily amidst the intermittent conversation...
