The King of Knights in a Different World

Her words made Dion on the side subconsciously feel a little guilty.

Instinctively he feels sorry for...these.........French people.

But Mary didn't think so.

She thought for a while, and said the next words with her habitual logic.

"If you can't eat bread, why don't you 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 almost choked on this sentence.

He coughed a few times to calm himself down.

"..."

Lucifer put down the cup, but didn't say anything.

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

Especially the three in my own 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 someone to actually say it.

"..."

Jeanne's expression was complicated.

These words disturbed her mind, and she did not know how to go on.

"..."

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

Just like when she used to listen to jokes.

Only this time it's not a joke.

"..."

Al's expression was genuinely disgusted.

It's different from playing with Lucifer.

This time it was real disgust.

She felt that this princess lacked common sense, and she could even say that she was 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 gazes of the four people on Lucifer's side, and of course, like some nobles, he had heard the joke that Joan of Arc inadvertently let the ladies hear.

Originally, he just laughed it off as a joke, but now the 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, she still asked innocently.

"What did I say wrong?"

no.248 The End of Innocence (ask for tickets, ask for custom order)

Mary's question was temporarily unanswered.

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, people really can't help but worry about whether she can understand her pocket watch in the future.

Liya's expression at this time was no longer disgusted, but her eyes were fixed on Mary, which was a kind of anger.

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.

Jeanne was thinking about what to say.

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

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

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

"Ah! Are you an idiot? How can a person 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 didn't expect there to be such an idiot woman as you."

Feeling that her sister said too much, Joan came out to smooth things over.

"Al, Princess Mary may just be lacking common sense.

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

As she said that, her eyes turned to Lucifer for help.

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

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

By the way, there are also seafood and vegetable jelly.”

Mary said what she took for granted.

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

For the first time in his life, he felt that his princess was a child who hadn't grown up.

Seeing that Al was about to continue to spray, Lucifer opened his mouth to ease the embarrassment in front of him.

"Princess Mary, do you know what money is?"

Lucifer didn't 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 would be too far away to understand, so he simply used the most direct substitute.

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

Among them is cake.

But it's strange, I don't seem to need money to eat cakes."

Mary nodded.

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

So you eat not because you don’t want money, but because you don’t want your money.”

"Is that true, Dion?"

"That's right, Your Royal Highness."

"So that's how it is, my elder brother is really kind to me."

"Well, you have a good brother.

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

Can you understand this?"

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

"I got it."

"Okay, now let's go further.

If you think it costs more, you should buy bread.”

"It must be cake, after all, there are more cakes than bread no matter how you look at it."

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

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

This logic does not seem to ask, 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 cake?”

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 have the answer in your heart."

Speaking of this, it goes without saying that the other party should understand what she just said.

Of course, if the other party still persists and says that he is right.

Then Lucifer could only suggest that Dion next to her go back and find a magician or doctor to see if there is any problem with her brain.

"I see.

I apologize to everyone for my faux pas just now."

Mary realized how ridiculous she had just said, and immediately apologized to everyone.

This time, the expressions of the others finally improved.

After all, if it's just a lack of common sense rather than genuine malice, they won't mind too much.

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

"However, His Majesty the Knight King is clearly a king, but he knows these things very well.

You can also use this method that can be accepted most quickly to realize your own mistakes.”

"I often experience people's feelings."

"Is it like father and king going on tour?"

"Touring is certainly one aspect, but it will also be observed privately.

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

At least you can’t know the price and taste of each cake.”

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

"I've heard many legends about His Majesty the Knight King before, but when we met today, I suddenly realized that you are completely different from the rumors."

"It's good to listen to rumors as stories.

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

"I'll give it a try."

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

There should be many questions in your mind waiting for his answer."

With that said, Lucifer handed over the topic to Joan of Arc.

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

"Well, Madame Jeanne, I would like to continue with my previous question."

"Excuse me!"

Jean d'Arc regained her composure and prepared to deal with Mary's question.

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

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

"That... um, actually this question is also related to His Majesty the Knight King.

The reason why I wanted to ask you if you had any plans to return to France was because I heard some rumors.
