The knight king of the otherworldly moon

Page 166

Her words made Dion feel a little guilty subconsciously.

He instinctively felt sorry...these...the French.

But Mary didn't think so.

She thought about it and said the next words with her habitual logic.

"If you can't eat bread, if you can't eat bread, why not eat cake?"

A short rhetorical question suddenly caused the scene, , to fall into a strange silence.

Lucifer was drinking tea and almost choked on this sentence.

He tried to cough a few times before he recovered.

"..."

Lucifer put down the cup and said nothing.

In contrast, the expressions of others became: extremely shocked.

Especially the three of them in my family.

They all still remember a certain joke that Lucifer said when they were dating before, and they thought it was just a joke at that time.

But I didn't expect anyone to actually say it.

"..."

Joan's expression was complicated.

These words disturbed her mind, and she didn't know how to continue.

"..."

Leah's expression at this time already had a trace of obvious disgust.

Just like when she used to hear jokes.

Only this time it's not a joke.

"..."

Al's expression showed genuine disgust.

Different from playing with Lucifer.

This time it was real disgust.

She had previously felt that the princess lacked common sense, and could even be said to be stupid.

But now I realize that she is really stupid.

"..."

Dion lowered his head and couldn't bear to look directly.

He had already noticed the changes in the eyes of the four Lucifers, and of course he had heard the jokes that Joan of Arc had inadvertently let the ladies hear, just like some nobles.

Originally, he just laughed it off as a joke, but now this joke was told by his own princess.

He couldn't imagine what would happen next.

At this time, Mary didn't seem to realize what she said at all, she still asked innocently.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

no.248 The end of innocence (please ask for tickets, ask for custom)

Mary's question was unanswered for the time being.

Lucifer didn't want to answer, until now he has discovered that this guy is... the legendary 'Silly White Sweet'.

Of course, it may be the French court environment that made her like this.

But if it continues like this, it will really make people worry about whether she will be able to read her pocket watch in the future.

Leah's expression at this time was no longer disgust, but her eyes were fixed on Mary, which was a kind of indignation.

She didn't understand why she was so angry when she heard this sentence, maybe she had thought about what she would do when the person in the joke appeared in front of her eyes.

Jeanne was thinking about what to say.

But she suddenly found that her words seemed to be too few to cope with the current information.

She didn't want to be too rude, but she couldn't agree with such a statement.

In the end, it was Al who expressed his opinion very bluntly.

"Ah! Are you an idiot? How can someone who can't even eat bread have the money to eat cake? I used to think that what he said at that time was just a joke. I never thought that there really is an idiot woman like you."

Feeling that her sister was talking too much, Joan of Arc still came out to make a round.

"Al, Princess Mary may just lack common sense.

Maybe she ate more cake than bread in her life."

Saying that, her eyes turned to Lucifer.

She didn't know how to deal with this embarrassing situation.

"Yes! I do eat cake more than bread all the time.

By the way, and seafood and vegetable jelly."

Mary said what she took for granted.

Dion didn't know what to do at this point.

For the first time in his life, he felt that his princess was an immature child.

Seeing that El was ready to continue spraying, Lucifer spoke 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.

Speaking of barter or production, Lucifer was worried that the princess was too far away to understand, so he simply used the most direct substitute.

"I know! I heard from the brothers and the maids that money can buy many things.

Among them is cake.

But it's strange, I don't seem to want money for cake."

Mary nodded.

"That's probably because your brother has already paid for it for you.

So it's not that you don't want money for food, it's just that you don't want your money."

"Is that so, Dion?"

"That's right, Your Royal Highness."

"That's it, the elder brother is so kind to me."

"Well, you have a good brother.

So let's go on, since you know that you need money to eat cake, which means there is no cake without money.

Do you understand this?"

During the conversation, Lucifer tried his best to treat the princess in front of him as a child who lacked common sense.

"Yes, got it."

"Okay, let's go further now.

If you think you spend more money, you should buy bread"

"It must be cake, after all, there is more cake than bread anyway."

Although Mary is right, the reason seems to be questionable.

But the way she speaks at this time, coupled with her previous performance, makes people feel that this princess is... simply because she thinks the cake is delicious, so it is expensive.

This logic does not seem to ask, there are too many exceptions.

"Completely correct.

Now the question is, do you think a man can have money to buy cake when he can't even buy bread?"

Lucifer continued to ask.

"This... should not be."

"So, look.

You have just answered that question yourself.

Why don't you eat cake? You should already 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 something wrong with her brain.

"I understand.

I apologize to everyone for my recent rudeness."

Mary realized what a ridiculous thing she had just said, and immediately apologized to everyone.

This time, the expressions of the others finally improved.

After all, they wouldn't mind too much if it was just a lack of common sense and not real malice.

"It doesn't matter, instead of apologizing, it should be said that your brother and father protected you a little too far."

"However, even though His Majesty the King of Knights is a king, he knows these things very well.

It is also the quickest way to recognize that you are wrong.”

"I often experience the feelings of the people."

"Is it like my father is on a tour?"

"Of course, going on tour is one aspect, but it will also be observed in private.

After all, if you just rely on the tour, you can't see many details.

At least not the price and taste of each cake."

At the end of the speech, considering the situation of the princess, Lucifer gave a simple example.

"I have heard a lot of legends about His Majesty the King of Knights before, but when we met today, I suddenly found that you are completely different from the rumors."

"It's good to hear rumors as stories.

If you want to know the truth, it's better to see it with your own eyes, yes, as it is now."

"I'll give it a try."

"You can try it later, isn't Joan of Arc today's protagonist?

There should be many questions in your heart waiting for his answers."

Having said that, Lucifer handed the topic to Jeanne.

After Lucifer's efforts, the atmosphere this time was much better than before.

"Well, Madam Joan, I would like to continue with the previous question."

"Excuse me!"

Joan of Arc is ready to deal with Mary's problems.

She didn't know if she could handle it, so she was a little nervous.

After all, although she is studying, she has not yet reached a high level.
