[Tai Lung's POV]

"This is amazing!!"

I was expecting that sentence the moment it was decided we would have fish for breakfast. But the thick emotions behind the sentence were what caught me off guard.

She continued stuffing the fish in her mouth along with rice. She would lift her mask subtly as she ate and if not for that, I'm afraid she would've inhaled the whole thing.

"You don't have to eat so quickly. No one is taking it away from you, plus you can eat as many as you want." I said with an almost smile. I was quite content with showing someone the wonders of fish and also to finally find someone who shared my exquisite taste.

Just as I would expect from a fellow feline.

"Although, it's quite surprising that you haven't had fish before," I said and brought the bowl closer to my mouth so that I could take a sip of the fish broth.

"Didn't your parents ever made you fish?"

"They died a long time ago." She said without skipping a beat, "And no, the royal chefs never had the courtesy to serve me either. Those bastards, how can they do such a thing? They have been cooking for me for more than 20 years now." She said with a huff.

So some information about her slipped from that. Her parents died when she was young and she seemed to be someone important if she had royal chefs and probably lived in a castle.

Was she a spoiled princess? But what kind of Empire would send thier own princess to the enemy?

Maybe she was really the princess but the new Emperor, who came into power after her parent's death, wanted to eradicate the original royal family bloodline so he sent her to certain death.

If she had royal blood in her or something, it would give some explanation to her unique nature of chi.

Hmm, quite the theory I have come up with.

"Hey." I called out to the person a few meters behind me. He was an aged Lion who seemed to know a great deal about the world. He also loved fish as I saw him almost every day in the restaurant,

He raised an eyebrow towards me when he heard me.

"Do you Tibetans have a princess or something?"

"Of course, we have a princess. Our Emperor is quite keen on making heirs, there are lots of princesses, male and female." He answered me with a shrug before he took a big swig of his wine.

"Thank you."

So my theory was probable. Good to know.

"Can I get another one?" I turned my head to Mei when she spoke. I watched with wide eyes at her empty plate.

This girl had finished her bowl and mine while I was looking away. She probably took off her mask and quickly ate it while I was not looking.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

In a weird mixture of amazement and annoyance, I ordered another set of meals.

She stayed silent and simply stared at me.

The answer was no.

We need to work on that.

"Yes, an ambition. Its what drives a man to live every day and fight for tomorrow. Its what gives meaning to life. Its what separates us from the inanimate who just lived for the sake of living." I told her.

"Ambition, desire, passion etc. Everone has them. It could be your family, your children, to provide for them, making noodles, your duty, money and everything in between." I said, "I'm sure you have it as well, you just need to find it."

She stayed silent and digested my words for a few long seconds.

"Do you have an ambition? Tai Lung?"

"Of course." I answered and spread my arms while raising my nose.

"I want to conquer the world and carve my name in the annals of history. I wish to leave a legacy that will forever mark this world." I said and she stared. i did not know if she was impressed or confused because her mask hid her face.

But I continued.

"Your grandson's grandson will talk about me. Their grandson's grandsons will tell in vivid detail who I am. The world shall forever hear my name until it eventually collapses on itself. That is my ambition." I said with a signature smile.

It always feels good to say it out loud. Like a wise man once said, if you can see it and have the courage to speak it, it will happen.

"Now that I've told you, its your turn." I asked, "What do you want to do?"
