Fei was no longer in a hurry after discovering this.
He slowed down his flying speed and carefully observed the surroundings. He even landed on the 12 mountains and inspected them.
The more he looked around, the happier he was.
Fei felt like these 12 mountains were placed here by the gods specifically for his upcoming plans. Although these mountains were in a row, they weren’t in a straight line, and they weren’t blocking each other’s view of the area.
In addition, each of the mountains soared into the sky. Standing at their peaks, one would be able to see the Chambord City that wasn’t too far away. Especially for masters in the Moon-Class Realm, they would be able to see things happening tens of kilometers away, and they could for sure inspect the activities that were happening inside Chambord.
Out of all 12 mountains, even the one that was the furthest from Chambord was only less than ten kilometers away. This distance was nothing in the eyes of a Moon-Class Elite; he or she could instantly dash into the city in a few seconds.
“Hahahah! I will create the statues of the 12 Zodiac Constellations here! There will be 12 Guardian Palaces of the Golden Saints on these 12 Golden Saint Mountains, and they would be surrounding the Sky Castle and protecting Chambord! Hahaha, this is a perfect opportunity! I will build this place into a saint land on the continent! Hahaha!” Fei laughed proudly as he thought of that.
Right now, Fei already appointed saints for the following constellations: Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, and Sagittarius. However, the others were still missing. Also, out of the gold saints, only Leo Saint Lampard reached the realm of Moon-Class; all others were around the Eight-Star level. According to Fei’s plan, all official golden saints had to be on the Moon-Class Realm before they were qualified to get on these 12 Golden Saint Mountains and become the real Guardian Saints.
However, this plan couldn’t be completed in a few days; it was a long-term project.
Fei fantasied about the day when Chambord had more than a dozen Moon-Class Elites as he fluttered his silver sword energy wings and disappeared into the darkness.
……
-The dining hall inside the King’s Palace-
“Hey! Alexander, you are going to become someone’s husband! How can you come home this late at night? Angela had been worrying about you for the entire night! This is too much!” Emma placed her hands around her waist as she pouted and questioned the king.
It was clear that this loli was very hungry. As she complained, she quickly took out the food that was placed in the magic boxes to keep them warm. Then, she put the utensils onto the table and called over the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, who were about to fall asleep.
Then, the seven people and Little Raccoon started to have dinner.
“Humph! If you aren’t going to be back tonight, we will all starve! You can’t do this anymore…… Angela is dropping the standards…… She treats you too well……”
As she placed a piece of golden crispy pork into her mouth, Emma wrinkled her nose, and the few freckles at the top of her nose looked extremely cute under the light from the magic chandelier in the dining hall.
This loli, who was vicious with her words but genuinely kind and nice on the inside, was now taken in by Fei as his little sister, and she was a little princess who was loved by the people around her. Although she seemed a little mean on the surface, she was a sensible and understanding girl. The fact that she didn’t leave Fei and Angela when they were in a bad situation won her the appreciation of other members of Chambord.
“Alright, aright. You forgot about our 12 rules for the dining table. We shouldn’t talk too much when we are eating……” Fei pretended to be annoyed as he said.
In the meantime, he grabbed onto the neck of Little Raccoon that jumped onto the dining table sneakily and tried to help its stomach on its own. The king placed it in front of its dining spot, stared at it despite it felt like it was mistreated, and turned to Emma, saying, “Emma, if you complain this much, I’m afraid that you will become too chubby, and no man would want you!”
“None of your business! The handsome young men of Chambord who want to marry me can line up from the entrance of the King’s Palace to the bank of the Zuli River!” Emma straightened her back and said proudly. After living with Fei for a while, she learned a thing or two from him, such as bluffing.
“Anyway, you breached the first rule of the 12 rules; you shouldn’t be late! Hehe, as a punishment, you need to tell us stories after dinner!”
All the girls around the table laughed.
From the nervousness at the beginning to merging into the big family, the four maids were now not scared of the king anymore. Instead, they talked and joked with Fei regularly. As a result, chatter and laughter sounded in the palace all the time.
This was Fei’s favorite atmosphere.
If he had to behave like other kings where they sat in front of giant dining tables and eat more than 100 dishes with only two to three people, it would be torturous. If he had to keep that up for a long time, he might get esophageal cancer for not eating correctly.
After enjoying the time together for a little, Angela placed her knife and fork on the table and smiled at Fei. “Alexander, I need to talk to you about something. Thug, Chick, and Hooligan are growing larger and larger. The gardens in the King’s Palace couldn’t contain them anymore. In these few days, they had made a lot of trouble under the lead of Blacky. If they aren’t your pets, the soldiers who are mad at them might shoot them down with [Dragon Slayer] crossbows and eat them!”
Fei laughed after hearing that.
He had heard a lot of complaints from other people as well. Although they had only been at Chambord City for a few days, these four creatures were too playful and energetic. In addition, their sizes were huge, and they would create mini-earthquakes when they moved around.
A few days ago, Thug accidentally sat on a side building in the King’s Palace and destroyed it, and a few pathways and a small church in the city were obliterated by the four beasts unintentionally.
Also, one of the dragons pooped in the sky, and its feces fell and instantly enveloped a few pedestrians who weren’t fast enough to move out of the way. If it weren’t for people who covered their noses and dragged these people out, these people might be the first few who died inside dragon feces.
In the end, Chambord’s city management office had to send out a big team of bylaw enforcement officers to clean up the street.
However, the feces of a dragon had research and strategic value, and they were bought by the Civil and Military University and a few laboratories.
“Eh, we need to deal with that.” Fei rested his chin on a pair of chopsticks’ tip as he laughed, “Thug and the others are too big to be kept inside the city; it would be too much for the residents to deal with. Also, the King’s Palace in the city might be too small for them to live in. I discovered a perfect location in the mountains behind Chambord. Haha, in a few days, not only them, but we will also move over! The royal family will out of the Chambord City!”
What Fei said instantly surprised the girls.
“Move out of Chambord? Where are we going? Let me be clear, I don’t want to live in a straw house by the cliff like that person named Dugu Qiubai in your stories.” (Dugu Qiubai is one of the greatest hermits in Jin Yong’s classic wuxia novels.)
At this moment, a loud voice sounded outside the door.
[Fallen Princess] Victoria cat-walked into the building in a tight-fit red cheongsam mini dress and high heels. As she threw a big pile of files onto the table in front of Fei, she sat down and stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth. In the meantime, she said unclearly, “I’m still young like a fresh rose. I have a bright future, and I don’t want to live like an ascetic monk!”
Suddenly, the dining hall got quiet.
Victoria looked up and said after she saw the strange expressions on people’s faces, “What? You guys are eating at midnight, and none of you told me. Alexander, in order to straighten out your account books for your treasury and the Revenue Department, I haven’t slept for two days! I now even have bags under my eyes! Why? Can’t I eat a piece of your meat?”
“You…… you……” Emma stuttered as she looked at Victoria.
“Ah? What about me?” Victoria finally felt like something was off.
Suddenly, she felt like someone was pulling on her sleeve. She turned around and saw the king’s new pet, Little Raccoon, pulling her sleeve with a sad expression.
“You ate the piece of meat that Little Raccoon was biting……” Emma said slowly as if she was trying to hold back something.
Victoria slowly looked at the people in the hall, and they all nodded. Then, she looked at the furry mouth of Little Raccoon and the clear small bite marks on another piece of meat in her hand.
“Puff!” She spat out.
