"Go inside." Claire said, and leaned slightly to let Irene walk in front.
Irene As soon as he took a few steps inside, he saw the dozens of meters high mermaid statue jumping out of the water in the central square. The more he walked forward, the more vivid it became, and he felt as if the water droplets splashing out would fall on his face.
"It's so beautiful..." Irene murmured, fascinated.
Claire was also immersed in the beauty of the statue. It was not the first time he saw it, but every time he passed by it, he would come here to take a look and was shocked by its beauty.
"It is indeed beautiful."
As soon as Irene came back to his senses, he discovered Nafu City residents on both sides, waving their hands and following Irene in greeting, "Princess Irene!"
"Princess Irene is so beautiful!"
"Princess Irene Look at me!"
"Princess Irene I love you!"
Irene once again had a happy smile on his face. He turned back to Claire and said, "They are so enthusiastic."
Claire smiled slightly, "It's because of your great charm that you are welcomed by them. Usually they are not so enthusiastic when they see me."
Claire is obviously telling lies. He called these residents who were waving their hands hard to perform. Otherwise, although there were curious people who came to watch, there were definitely not so many people that the streets were empty, and they would not be so enthusiastic. This was all supported by the face of the lord Claire.
"Although there are so many people in other cities who welcome me, they are far less sincere." Irene said truthfully.
"Maybe everyone in Nafu City is very happy."
Irene smiled and rolled his eyes, "That's what you, the lord, do well."
Claire also smiled slightly. This Little Princess's emotional intelligence is quite high.
"The mermaid statue is more beautiful at night. Come and take a look at it then. Irene Do you want to see some other features of Nafu City?" Claire invited.
"Why not?" Irene smiled.
Claire took Irene to a store, picked up the Iodized Salt placed outside and showed it to Irene.
"This is our Nafu City specialty product Iodized Salt, and it is also one of the important industry pillars of Nafu City."
"I have heard that the salt I have in the palace has also turned into this Iodized Salt. It seems to be sent by my brother Shane."
"He's such a good guy, isn't he?" Claire smiled.
"Shane brother has always been very kind to me."
Then Claire didn't care whether Irene could understand or not. He took Iodized Salt and followed her to explain why eating Iodized Salt was good for the human body and what were the disadvantages of not eating Iodized Salt. Irene also nodded one after another, not sure if they understood, but this is not important. What is important is that Irene followed. Claire only needs to wait until she leaves to give her a pack of Iodized Salt to take away, and then she can use this as a promotion.
Are you people who are traveling here sure you don't want to buy some specialties from Iodized Salt's place of origin? This is a specialty that Princess Irene always takes with him when he leaves!
After introducing Iodized Salt, Claire took out another pack of shredded squid, tore open the package, picked up one and handed it over.
"Try it. This is a very delicious snack. Shane sells it at Tulip Shop in Wangdu."
As soon as Claire stretched out his hand, he was slapped away by Hayden who was standing beside him. He shouted, "How dare Your Highness eat such food sold by civilians? You are so brave!"
Claire's eyes flashed with a stern look, but he quickly put it away and rubbed his sore wrist. This guy's presence next to Irene would only affect his plan. He had to find a way to get him away, otherwise he would still be fooling Irene.
Irene frowned when he saw Claire's somewhat red wrist. He looked at Hayden with dissatisfaction and said in a serious tone, "Uncle Hayden! Even so, you wouldn't pat Claire's hand! You are Earth Knight, what should I do if my wrist is broken?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Claire said. He didn't want to help Hayden.
After rubbing his sore wrist, Claire continued, "He is also worried about Your Highness your safety. It was my lack of consideration just now."
Claire called Irene in the last sentence, but now he has been replaced by Your Highness. The distance has suddenly widened, and he has actively put the blame on himself. This will only make Irene feel more distressed. You see him being so sensible and you still beat him!
"Hmph, it's good to know that you were wrong." Hayden put his hands on his hips and glanced at Claire.
Claire twisted his wrist, and after confirming that it was not injured, he began to bend down and lean over, as if he was looking for something.
"Has your bracelet been knocked off?" Irene also bent down, "Let me help you find it."
"Found it!" Claire said excitedly.
Irene stood up again after hearing this, "Just found it, what is it?"
Claire brought the squid shreds picked up from the ground to Irene and replied, "The squid shreds that were just patted off..."
"Why are you looking for it?" Irene was a little confused.
As soon as he finished asking, Claire brought the shredded squid to his mouth, blew on it, and finally put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"What are you doing! It's very dirty, spit it out quickly." Irene rushed over, trying to slap away the shredded squid that Claire was chewing, but Claire had already eaten it in his mouth and it was too late.
"Spit it up quickly." Irene urged.
Claire was not in a hurry. After chewing it, he swallowed the shredded squid and then replied, "It's okay, it's not very dirty."
Irene looked distressed, "Why did you eat it? It obviously fell on the ground."
Good question! I'm just waiting for your words!
Claire pretended to be pitiful and looked up at the sky, "This is food, we can't waste it."
"Do you know what it was like here when I first came to Nafu City?"
Irene shook his head, "I don't know, but I think it's pretty good now..."
Claire sighed and looked at the shredded squid in his hand, "When I first came here, many people here didn't have enough to eat. People died of hunger every day. Sometimes just this little shredded squid can save a person's life. A great man once said: The most important thing in a person's life is to have enough food..."
Irene couldn't help but cover her mouth after hearing this. She had lived in the palace since she was a child and had never seen such suffering in the world. After listening to Claire, she realized that there are still people in the world who don't even have enough to eat...
Claire continued, "So I made a vow at that time to ensure that all my subjects have enough to eat. Fortunately, I did it, but because of what happened before, food is very precious in Nafu City. Although living conditions are better now, no one is allowed to waste food. I am the lord of Nafu City, so I can naturally lead by example."
After listening to Claire's words, Irene took a deep breath to calm down his heart, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was such a thing..."
"It's okay." Claire put the shredded squid in his hand back to its original position, "I really didn't think well just now. I will let the chef prepare an exquisite lunch for you."
At this time Irene stretched out his right hand and smiled, "Give me one."
Claire pretended to be surprised, "But this is food for common people?"
"You can eat it, why can't I?" Irene said.
Hayden stood up at this time, "Your Highness! This thing is unhygienic..."
"Shut up!" Irene lost his temper in a rare moment, "Claire has eaten everything, but I can't eat it? My father has taught me since I was a child to be close to the people. Is there anything wrong with me doing this!"
Hayden was speechless for a moment, silently closed his mouth, took a step back and gave Claire a sharp look in his eyes, telling him to be careful.
"It's still not possible." Claire took back the squid shreds he handed out. Although he didn't speak, his eyes looked at Hayden behind Irene, his eyes full of fear.
"Hayden!" Irene shouted loudly, "If you keep doing this, you won't be able to stay next to me on this trip!"
"Your Highness..." Hayden was speechless and didn't know how to defend himself.
