Hearing Solandale's question, the boss couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the topic to shift here, he resignedly smiled and said: "How can we hate the royal family, we all live under the protection of the king, even if we don't live well, we can only blame ourselves for being poor..."

Solandale smiled: "Really? ”

The boss was unconsciously silent when he heard this, maybe he felt that Solandelle was more amiable and a reasonable person after chatting before, so he sighed and muttered in a low voice: "I can't talk about hate, but sometimes I am really unconvinced." ”

"You say, everyone is obviously human, why do we work all day and night, and the monthly coins we can earn all year round are not as many as others?"

"Those nobles eat, drink and have fun every day, they don't need to work, and the royal family gives them fiefs, monthly coins, and gifts at every turn... What do you say they are? Isn't it just that you have a good background and can lie on the inheritance of your ancestors and covet pleasure? What do you say they themselves have contributed to the Kingdom? ”

When the boss said this, he didn't forget to go back and smile at Solandelle: "Of course, I'm complaining about those nobles who don't learn and don't know how to do it, not scolding you." Miss, you are a knowledgeable person at first glance, different from those boring nobles~"

Solandale had a faint smile on her face: "I did read a little bit of a book, I can't say that I don't know how to learn, but I don't know that much." I am the same kind of person as the nobles you hate - I have a good background, I don't need to struggle in life, I sit on my laurels, I have always been held in the palm of my hand, but I have never asked those who take care of me if they are bitter or tired. ”

This ominous remark made the boss a little confused, and he hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "This young lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name?" ”

The cold wind of winter blew in through the window, bringing a biting cold, and Solandale's blue eyes were like deep lake water, staring directly at the boss, and said slowly: "Solandale - Solandel Van Doguland." ”

The cold wind howled, the blood on the boss's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fear appeared like a bursting embankment, he collapsed to the ground as if he had been pulled off his backbone, and crawled to Solandelle's side with his hands and feet, his voice with a trembling cry: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please spare me, I just ... I didn't know it was you... I shouldn't have spoken wild about the nobility! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

The boss kowtowed once when he apologized, and it could be seen that he was extremely frightened and helpless in his heart, and every time he kowtowed very hard, it didn't take long for his forehead to bleed.

Solandale didn't go to help the boss, but just looked at him sadly and asked, "Why are you afraid of me?" ”

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."The boss was so frightened that he couldn't reply, so he kept kowtowing and apologizing, and there was a bloody spot on the ground.

"Woo... Daddy..."The little girl hiding in the corner ran over and hugged her father's waist, howling and crying, she was too young to understand the reason, only that because of Solandale's words, her father had to hurt herself, and she looked at Solandale with a deep fear in her eyes.

Ma Ban couldn't stand it anymore, and said anxiously to the boss: "What are you doing here?" Her Royal Highness the princess didn't say that she would cure your crimes, didn't you make it embarrassing for your highness to hurt yourself like this?! Don't knock, get up! ”

"Hemp." Solandale put down the monthly coins on the table and smiled a little miserably, "Let's go, don't say any more." ”

Mamada was helpless to keep up with Solandale's pace until the two disappeared into the snow, where the boss's muttering apologies and the little girl's sobs were all around.

...

When night falls, even if it is snowing tonight, the moonlight can still be seen in the gaps between the snow clouds, and the rows of buildings in the royal city show beautiful shapes in the light and shadow, and occasionally you can hear one or two barks from dogs who don't know who, echoing in the cold evening breeze.

Solandale had returned to the palace on time, standing on the observation deck that had put her in the spotlight, which was arguably the highest place in the entire royal city, and her eyes reflected the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, taking in half of the city.

Ma Ban stood behind Solandale, and just about to say something, Solandale spoke first: "Do you think it's ridiculous about the things of the day?" ”

Ma Ban asked in a low voice, "What do you say?" ”

Solandale: "Not long ago I was standing here and saw thousands of people praying for me and cheering for me, as if they were honoring me as a god. But when they faced me directly, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out. ”

Ma Ban said silently: "They are not afraid of you, but because they said the wrong thing and are worried about being punished, so they are afraid." ”

"Punishment?" Solandale asked rhetorically, "Why should he be punished?" Saying the wrong thing? Which sentence is wrong? Do you think his assessment of the nobility is incorrect? ”

Mamada stopped talking, and finally muttered, "I just don't think it should be generalized." It's true that many nobles are annoying, but there are also people in the nobility who are worthy of respect, such as you. ”

Solandelle smiled softly: "Ma Ban, when you first came to the palace, you were not afraid of heaven and earth, even your father dared to contradict him, why haven't you learned to flatter for half a year?" ”

Ma Ban shook his head and said, "I've always said something, not to please you." ”

Solandale let out a long sigh and said quietly, "That's good." It's a lot more reassuring to have your approval, at least to let me know I'm not a bad person. There are some things that we can say openly. ”

"I don't know if you feel that way, the world seems to be particularly ridiculous, and there are people who are afraid of being punished for telling the truth."

"In the case of the day, the boss was clearly stating a widespread phenomenon, but he was frightened when he learned of my identity."

"Why? Like you said, he's worried about being punished by me – so the question is, why should I punish him? What article in the code states that a commoner can punish a nobleman if he tells the truth that the nobleman does not like to hear? ”

"There is no code that has such a provision, but everyone knows it like this, and the aristocracy also does it, which seems to have become a recognized atmosphere, the aristocracy is high, and the person with high status is privileged, and if you say you are right, you will be wrong, and you will bully whoever you want."

"This is still the case for the common people, and the situation of the slaves can be imagined." Solandale seemed to think of something sad, and asked deeply, "Maban, have you ever dealt with slaves before?" ”
