Chapter 834: Breakfast
The next day, Max woke up feeling refreshed and looked at Esme who was curled up beside him, hugging his hand and her head resting on his shoulder.
Esme seemed to notice the slight movement he made upon waking up and slowly woke up. Noticing him looking at her with a refreshing smile on his face, she batted her beautiful eyes at him before lazily saying,
“Good Morning, Husband!”
“Good Morning, Love!” Max said and kissed her forehead, causing her to close her eyes in enjoyment.
Half an hour later, they freshened up and walked out of their room for breakfast. Just as Max was about to knock on Ling Han’s door, he saw Ling Han coming up from the stairs.
“Good Morning, Young Master, Milady!” He greeted them with a light bow after walking over.
“Good Morning!” Max returned the greeting with a smile while Esme just nodded.
“Where are you coming from?” Max asked,
“From the restaurant next door.” Ling Han replied, “I didn’t want to disturb you, this was why I didn’t wake you.”
“It’s fine.” Max waved his hand, “Alright, we’ll meet you later.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Ling Han nodded and watched as they went downstairs. Then, he went to his room and sat down on the bed beside his unconscious younger sister.
Looking at the black marks on her neck, face and forehead that had faded quite a bit during these two days, he let out a relieved smile and muttered, “You’ll be completely fine after a few days.”
After they left the town, he had asked Max to communicate with the tower spirit and have it heal her, but unexpectedly, Max told her he could try helping her.
Initially he had no confidence in him that he could do anything about her curse, but when he saw the black marks visibly fade when he touched her and sent his energy into her body, it would be an understatement to say he was astonished. At the same time though, he was very happy and relieved.
This is also the reason why he was treating Max with so much more respect than before.
’Only someone like him deserves to possess the Ancestral Tower.’ He thought and eliminated any and all hidden dissatisfaction in his heart about handing the tower over to Max.
…
The Inn they were staying only provided rooms to stay, so the guests had to go out to eat and since there was a restaurant next door, everyone went there.
Max and Esme arrived at the restaurant and seeing it full of people, they knew it provided good food.
“Give us a table.” Max went over to the receptionist after not finding any free table. Esme naturally followed him.
“Sorry, young master. Currently there are no free tables, you’ll have to wait—” The receptionist was just saying this when Esme let out a dissatisfied snort and released her aura a little.
The receptionist was just a Four Star mage, so he froze in place when he sensed her aura. Immediately after that, he put a smile on his face and said,
“As I was saying, there are no free tables here and we can’t just shoo away our dining customers, so you two please go upstairs. There only special guests like yourselves are allowed in, so the ambience is way better and comfortable.”
Max smiled, “Sure, lead the way.”
Soon, they arrived on the first floor where only twenty or so tables were set up and over half of them were occupied.
Max swept his gaze across them and realized at least one person on each table was an Emperor or a very strong King Mage.
’And this is just a small city in the central plains.’ He sighed in his heart. Central plains really had many experts. ’No wonder the demons haven’t been able to conquer the human continent even after thousands of years.’
As soon as they arrived here, a young woman dressed in a server’s uniform rushed over and led them to an empty table, “This way please.”
She then gave them the menu and pointed at the small table ring, “Please ring the bell when you have decided what you want to order, Milord, Milady.”
“Sure,” Max nodded and handed the menu over to Esme, “You order.”
Esme nodded and after scanning the menu, she looked at him, [The dishes are slightly expensive here. Why don’t we—]
Before she could finish, Max shook his head, [It’s alright. When the receptionist led us here, I already knew things would be expensive, but there is no need to worry as long as you don’t order something worth thousands of mana stones.]
Since he said this, Esme didn’t insist and rang the bell. Immediately the server arrived and took the order before rushing away.
Ten minutes later, she returned carrying a large tray and placed it on their table.
There were five dishes, three had beast meat while two seemed vegetarian.
“Please enjoy.” The server bowed after serving them. Then she stepped back, turned around and left.
When Max put a slice of meat from one of the dishes in his mouth, his eyes lit up, “It’s delicious and very nutritious. Here, you try it too.”
Esme smiled and cut a slice before eating it.
“Mm, it’s good.” She nodded but unlike him, she didn’t have an exaggerated expression on her face. Clearly, she had eaten even better dishes.
Max suddenly felt like a country bumpkin, but his expression didn’t change as he continued to eat.
When they were done and the server took away the dirty dishes, two men, one a high-stage King and the other an Emperor, came over.
The King Mage was handsome and looked to be in his mid-twenties, while the Emperor was an older man with graying hair.
“Milady, would you like to join us for some desserts?” The King Mage asked Esme, a smile on his face.
Max furrowed his brows and looked at him before glancing at the Emperor behind him, who wore a helpless and slightly apologetic expression on his face as he looked at him.
’This guy is some young master, huh?’ He thought, feeling the things were going to become troublesome.
