Chapter 496: Conversation with Regina
After dealing with Uncle Jack permanently, the Duchess invited the Vanderbilts to stay in their castle for the night.
Max, Lylia, and Bart experienced the most luxurious dinner that they had ever seen. Expensive fishes straight from Atlantis, Hydra meat that only the Draconian race consumed, the legendary Griffin feathers, and a lot of other things that didn’t even look edible. But they were definitely expensive for sure.
Michael, on the other hand, was occupied because of the four royal grandchildren who pestered him for more Soda.
He spent the night making them each a barrel of Soda, and teaching them that it was better consumed with ice. They won’t have trouble cooling it down because they had multiple mages on their employ.
And as the night wore down, Michael was fetched by the Duchess out in the grassfields.
He walked out of the veranda and saw her strolling in the grass as she observed the automobile up close and personal.
"This is a fine piece of work," she marveled. "When Barnaby told me that there was going to be an upheaval in Metropolis soon because of this machine, I didn’t believe him. He told me to go see it for myself, which was why I requested your presence here in my castle.
In hindsight, I should have delayed so that you wouldn’t have had to go through that duel with Jack. But I guess it’s all for the better now since you took him down."
Michael walked towards her. "That’s all in the past now," he said. "Let’s get down to business. Would you like to inspect the automobile?"
This was very important. Her verification was the only thing he needed in order to make his truck and his automobiles legal in the streets of Metropolis.
"My twins have already told me about the automobile. I know it’s safe. What I want to know is its capacity. I wanna see the limits of what it could do."
