The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 166
Her words made Dion on one side feel a little guilty subconsciously.
He instinctively felt sorry...These...French people.
But Mary didn't think so.
She thought about it, and said the next thing with her habitual logic.
"If you can't eat bread, why not eat cake if you can't eat bread."
A short rhetorical question immediately caused the scene to fall into a strange silence.
Lucifer was drinking tea and was almost choked by these words.
He coughed hard for a few times before he eased up.
"..."
Lucifer put down the cup and said nothing.
In contrast, the expressions of other people became extremely shocked.
Especially the three of my own family.
They still remember a joke that Lucifer said during a previous date, and at that time they thought it was just a joke.
But I didn't expect that someone actually said it.
"..."
Joan's expression is complicated.
These words disturbed her mind, and she didn't know how to continue speaking.
"..."
Leah's expression at this time already had a trace of obvious disgust.
Just like when she used to listen to jokes.
It's just not a joke this time.
"..."
Al's expression brought real disgust.
It's different from playing with Lucifer.
This time it was a real dislike.
She felt that the princess lacked common sense before, and she could even be said to be stupid.
But now I found out that she was really stupid.
"..."
Dion lowered his head and couldn't bear to look straight.
He had already noticed the changes in the eyes of the four of Lucifer, and of course, like some nobles, he had heard the jokes that Joan accidentally let the ladies hear.
Originally, he had just laughed at it as a joke, but now the joke has been told by his own princess.
He couldn't imagine what would happen next.
At this moment, Mary didn't seem to notice what she said, she still asked innocently.
"What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"
no.248 End of innocence (please ask for votes, ask for customization)
No one answered Mary's question for the time being.
Lucifer didn't want to answer, until now he has discovered that this product is... the legendary "Silly White Sweet".
Of course, it may be the French court environment that made her like this.
But if this continues, I really can't help but worry about whether she can understand her pocket watch in the future.
Leah's expression at this time was no longer disgusting, but staring at Mary tightly, which was a kind of anger.
She didn't understand why she was so angry when she heard this sentence.It might be that she had thought that the person in the joke would appear in front of her and what she would do.
Joan was thinking about what to say.
But she suddenly found that her language seemed too little to cope with the current intelligence.
She didn't want to be too rude, but she couldn't agree with such words.
In the end, Al was very straightforward to express his views.
"Ah! Are you an idiot? How can someone who can't even eat bread have money to eat cake? I used to think that what he said at that time was just a joke. I couldn't think of a really idiot woman like you."
Feeling that her sister had said too much, Joan still came out to make a round.
"Al, Princess Mary may just lack common sense.
Maybe in her life, she eats more cakes than bread."
With that, her eyes turned to Lucifer.
She has no idea how to deal with this embarrassing situation.
"Yes! I have always eaten cakes more often than bread.
By the way, there are seafood and vegetable jelly."
Mary said what she took for granted.
Dion had no idea what to do at this time.
For the first time in his life, he felt that his princess was a child who had not grown up.
Seeing that Al was ready to continue spraying, Lucifer said to ease the embarrassment in front of him.
"Princess Mary, do you know what money is"
Lucifer did not point out what was wrong with Mary, but used a question as a guide.
When talking about bartering or production, Lucifer worried that the princess was too far away to understand, so he simply used a most direct substitute.
"I know! I heard from my brother and the maids that money can buy a lot of things.
Among them is cake.
But it’s weird, I don’t seem to need money to eat cake."
Mary nodded.
"That's probably because your brother has already paid for you.
So you don’t want money to eat, you just don’t want your money."
"Is that really the case, Dion"
"That's right, your Royal Highness."
"That's it, my brother is so kind to me."
"Well, you have a good brother.
So let's continue, since you know that it costs money to eat cake, that is to say, if there is no money, there is no cake.
Can you understand this?"
In the words, Lucifer tried his best to treat the princess in front of him as a child lacking common sense.
"I got it."
"Okay, let's go one step further now.
You think you spend a lot of money, but you still buy bread"
"It must be cake, after all, there are more cakes than bread no matter what."
Although Mary is right, the reason seems to be the same.
But the way she speaks at this time, coupled with her previous performance, makes it feel that this princess is... simply because she thinks the cake is delicious and so expensive.
This logic doesn't seem to be asked, but there are too many exceptions.
"Completely correct.
Now the question is, do you think that when a person can't even afford bread, can he have money to buy cakes?"
Lucifer continued to ask.
"This...should not be there."
"So, look.
You just answered your own question by yourself.
Why don't you eat cake? You should have the answer in your mind."
Having said that, it goes without saying that the other party should also understand what she just said.
Of course, if the other party has to hold on and say that he is right.
Then Lucifer could only suggest that Dion next to him go back and find a magician or doctor to see if there is a problem with her brain.
"I understand.
I apologize to everyone for my impoliteness just now."
Mary realized how ridiculous she had just said, and immediately apologized to everyone.
This time, the expressions of others finally improved.
After all, if they just lack common sense and not really malicious, they wouldn't mind too much.
"It doesn't matter. Compared to apologizing, it should be said that your brother and father protected you too much."
"However, His Majesty the Knight King is clearly a king, but he knows these things very well.
I can still recognize my mistakes in this way that is most acceptable to people."
"I often experience people's sentiments."
"Is it like my father's patrol?"
"Of course, going on tour is one aspect, but it will also be observed privately.
After all, if you only rely on the tour, you can't see many details.
At least I can’t know the price and taste of each cake."
At the end of the words, considering the princess's situation, Lucifer gave a simple example.
"I have heard many legends about His Majesty the Knight King before, but when I met today, I suddenly discovered that you are completely different from the rumors."
"The rumor is just a story.
If you want to know the facts, it’s best to witness it with your own eyes, yes, just like it is now."
"I will try it."
"You can try it later. Isn't the protagonist today Joan of Arc?
There should be many questions in your heart waiting for his answer."
With that, Lucifer handed the topic to Joan of Arc.
After Lucifer's efforts, the atmosphere this time was much better than before.
"Well, Ms. Jeanne, I want to continue the previous question."
"Excuse me!"
Joan is ready to deal with Mary's problem.
She didn't know if she could cope with it, so she was a little nervous.
After all, although she is studying, she has not reached a height yet.
"Um..., um, in fact, this question is also related to His Majesty the Knight King.
The reason why I wanted to ask you if you have any plans to return to France is because I have heard some rumors.
