Strongest Prince Becomes Legendary Chef
Lilia

The Emperor was actually glad Alex was still alive, but he also did not want his dream of uniting the entire Grandland Continent to fail to materialize, hence when his sons fought over the Crown Prince's throne, he remained silent because he thought his successor would have to be as strong as he was so that the Hazel Empire would not collapse under the rule of a very weak Emperor.

Back when Alex was still the Leader of the Western Legion, it came to his mind to make Alex the Crown Prince so that the dispute between the First Prince and the Second Prince stopped. However, unexpectedly before his intention was realized, the Second Prince instead ambushed Alex and was rumored to be dead at the time.

Now Alex is back, but he feels Alex will not return to the Imperial Palace, because he thinks Alex must hate him and also hate his other two children.

After the Assassin left, the green-haired lady who looked young despite her hundreds of years of age had appeared from behind the door behind the Emperor Throne.

Elements of life radiated from the woman's body and were instantly absorbed by the Emperor so that the wrinkles on her face instantly disappeared so that she looked younger as well as had a face similar to Alex's.

“Finally you came out after Four years of solitude in the room,” the Emperor said in a soft voice as he stroked the woman's palm. “Lilia... Catherine's an Adult and she won't marry before she gets your blessing.”

“Catherine.. forgive mom... four years ago she was 12 years old when I decided to be alone because my unholy husband let my children kill each other!” Lilia said cynically.

The emperor smiled wryly and still stroked Lilia's palm, then placed it on her cheek. “Lilia... please accompany me once again, isn't it our dream to unite the entire Grandland Continent?” Then the Emperor went silent for a moment. “Did you reappear because of Alex?” inquiringly.

“I vaguely felt her aura entering Ella City, but that aura instantly disappeared as I tried to search for her with My Wood Element,” Lilia said with a sad facial expression.

While in his room, he made a small Bird of the Wood element and incorporated his consciousness with the life element, so that the Bird can fly to explore Ella City which is quite large or when compared to the City on Earth, then Ella City is as big as Jakarta City which has a population of more than 10 Million people.

The Emperor had expected Lilia to reappear because of Alex, their youngest son.

“Alright, because you do not want to help me anymore then please persuade Catherine to want to marry one of the young masters of Nobles,” said the Emperor immediately longed for the times of racial War that struck the Grandland Continent, he and Lilia fought hard against other races who wanted to enslave the Human Race.

Suddenly the door opened, a beautiful girl who was similar to Lilia as a teenager appeared with tears rushing down her cheeks.

“I-ibuuuu... You finally came out too, I'm so lonely without you!” Catherine ran over and hugged Lilia.

“Mother won't leave you again, stop crying!” Lilia wiped away Catherine's tears while smiling warmly. “Why don't you want to get married? Though you are very beautiful, there must be many handsome young men who are willing to queue to be your life companion.” Lilia teased her daughter.

Catherine puffed her cheeks and said, “I don't want to get married! Father and all the older brothers don't care about me, they are just busy with the affairs of the country!” He looked annoyed as he looked at the Emperor.

Lilia laughed softly and hugged Catherine again, then the three continued talking. The usually very quiet palace, suddenly heard the sound of laughter again.

Nevertheless, the Three Sons of the Emperor remained like water and fire that could not possibly be put together again until one day only the strongest would remain in bloom.

...***...

A moment later, heavy rain hit Ella City, as the southern region of the Hazel Empire had a tropical climate, in contrast to the City of Peace located in the Northern part of the Grandland Continent which is subtropical or has four seasons.

Alex closes the window and covers Sarah, who has fallen asleep after a large dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Alex inserts a paper containing information about Sarah and herself into Sarah's Bag.

If he fails to eliminate the Swordsmen who had ambushed him four years ago, so Sarah would show the paper to the Soldier who guarded the door of the Imperial Palace Castle and she hoped that the Emperor would raise Sarah or her granddaughter and give Sarah a happy life.

Alex was sure the Emperor would not refuse his request because his mother was famous for having a soft heart, so he dared to tell Sarah later to go to the Palace if she died in this mission.

“Hendrix... prepare! I will do the same thing you did to me first,” Alex muttered coldly while removing the cloth on the Meteor Sword that had been bathed in the blood of many Level 10 Swordsmen.

Alex covered his face which only showed his eyes, then he broke through the torrential rain towards the tower of the Imperial Academy.

...***...

Hendrix was currently reading an ancient script about the god Cthulhu. The Imperial Academy had obtained information about the Seal in the Hazel Imperial Monster Forest and the Imperial Academy's Chief ordered a thorough investigation of the God Cthulhu and tried to prevent the Seal from being damaged and certainly how to defeat it if one day the God of Cthulhu will be released from that time.

A young man who was Hendrix's assistant put a cup of coffee on the table. “It has been a hundred days that we have researched all the ancient books of the entire Hazel Empire, but very few have told us about the God Cthulhu. Lest that God Cthulhu was just a myth and the one sealed in the Monster Forest was probably only a level 10 Monster, Master!”

Hendrix shook his head, rejecting the opinion of the smartest student in the Imperial Academy.

“Johan... After you reach Swordsman level 10 then you will realize that the figure sealed in the Monster Forest is very terrible and this book finally tells about the God Cthulhu, who is the one who is the one who was sealed in the Monster Forest,” said Hendrix while sighing deeply and very excited to immediately reveal the mystery of the God Cthulhu.

“Then Teacher?” Johan was also very happy to hear it and immediately took out a paper and pen to write down the key points Hendrix would explain.

“While this writing is very strange, I have managed to translate a few sentences and the Power of God Hercules is the key to conquering God Cthulhu, but we still need a long time to translate other sentences or implied messages that this book leaves behind,” said Hendrix smiled faintly and thought whether the God of Hercules was storing his power somewhere or there was a way of calling him to descend into this World.

However, Hendrix suddenly frowned at the smell of blood, which meant that someone committed a murder in the tower of the Imperial Academy.
