After telling the story, Irene still looked puzzled. As he walked out of the school, he dragged his chin with his hand and kept thinking. In the end, he couldn't think of any clue. He simply turned around and asked, "Claire, did I really understand it wrong? Does this story tell us that we cannot eat food from strangers? It seems to be different from what I thought."

Claire stopped. Just as he was about to open his mouth and follow Irene's thoughts, he said that they were just children, so it was normal for their thoughts to be a little different from adults. But before he could say anything, he closed his mouth for some reason.

Then Claire thought for a while, and Claire decided to tell Irene about the different views from another angle, so he asked, "Then what do you think this story should tell us?"

Irene, who was suddenly asked a question, was at a loss for words. She wanted to say what she had realized, but when the words came to her mouth, she found that the words were blurry and blank, and she could not say anything at all. She did not know what she had realized.

"Is it praising Bai Xue Princess's kindness and beauty, and the love story between her and the prince?" Claire gave an answer.

"Yeah." Irene nodded vigorously, as if Claire had said what she was thinking.

But Claire said in the next sentence, "So? What can we learn from this? As long as you are good-looking, you can get the kindness of others? The hunter will let Bai Xue Princess go because of her beauty. Even if she is in trouble, there will be seven dwarfs to help her? In the end, because of her beauty, the prince fell in love with him at first sight and lived happily together? If beauty alone can get preference, what is there to praise?"

Irene was dumbfounded. She really didn't think about it that much, she just thought it was a romantic love story.

Irene wanted to speak for Bai Xue Princess, but couldn't think of anything to say in defense.

Seeing Irene's embarrassment, Claire smiled slightly and said, "This is just a story. It would be boring to go into more detail."

Irene finally came to her senses, but Claire's words left a deep impression on her heart.

"It's exactly what you said... there's nothing to praise." Irene is a person who corrects his mistakes immediately.

"You are also a Princess." Claire winked mischievously at Irene.

Irene straightened her waist and leaned towards Claire, pretending to be angry and glared at her, "What do you mean by that?" In her current view, the word Princess had a derogatory meaning, as if Claire said that she had nothing but beauty.

"I mean Princess Irene is different from those Princess." Claire took a few steps forward to prevent Irene from punching him twice.

With just a few words of banter, the distance between the two of them was shortened a lot.

"Your Highness, you're out, I've been waiting for you here!" As soon as Irene followed Claire out, Hayden quickly came over and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Irene's face that was originally filled with a happy smile quickly put it away after seeing Hayden. It's not that she hates Hayden. Hayden has been with her for several years and they have a certain friendship. Otherwise, she wouldn't call Hayden uncle Hayden. But this feeling now is a bit like when you were a child and you were playing well with your friends, but you were suddenly called home by your parents for dinner. Irene The happiness in your heart suddenly dissipated.

"It's just a school. What's the problem? There are some lovely children in it." Irene replied.

Hayden took a deep breath and said, "It's okay." He felt that he had fallen out of favor, but now he didn't even dare to glare at Claire. This kid would definitely complain to his face.

Claire looked up at the sky and asked, "It's almost lunch time. Irene are you hungry?"

Irene put his hand on his lower abdomen, "If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't feel it yet. But once you mention it, I feel a little hungry."

"Okay, let's go have lunch first."

"Where are you going?" Irene asked suddenly. She found that she was sitting on the Wolf King and had already passed by the Baronial Manor.

"Go to the market to buy vegetables." Claire replied.

"Buying groceries?" Irene felt a little strange.

"Yes, do you want to try it yourself?"

Nafu City's hardware level is not as good as those in big cities, so Claire wants to find another way to take the other party to experience some things that she has never experienced before, to enhance her impression of Nafu City, such as shopping for groceries now, and through contact with Claire, she feels that Irene is a very nice person, so she will not look down on them, but will be more interested in them.

"Okay!" Irene said excitedly, "I haven't bought food yet."

"These are coins. You have to give money to buy things." Claire handed over a small bag of money.

With this little money, Irene didn't refuse, so he took it and said, "Do you think I'm a fool who doesn't know anything again? Of course I know you have to pay for things."

While chatting, the two came to where the market was. The market had been cleaned the day before yesterday, so there was no peculiar smell, but there were a lot of people.

But after seeing Claire, they just said hello from a distance and did not crowd up. Instead, they gave up quite a vacant seat. Hayden originally wanted to say something, but he endured it after seeing the excitement on Irene's face. It would definitely not be flattering if he spoke now. He only needed to be responsible for Your Highness's safety.

Irene looked around curiously after entering the market. He was very curious about everything inside and ran back and forth in front of various stalls.

"How much does this cost?" Irene said, pointing to a bunch of green vegetables.

"Five pieces of Copper Coins."

"Hmm, there's no Copper Coins here. I'll give you a Silver Coins!" Irene took out a Silver Coins from his wallet and handed it over.

"Thank you! You are really a kind-hearted girl." The vendor praised. He had been setting up a stall here since the morning, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was Your Highness.

"Claire He praised me." Irene said with a smile.

"I can praise you even if you gave me twenty times the money."

Irene's expression became hesitant, "Did I give too much, or do I have to get it back?"

Claire couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, just give it. How can you give money back to others? It's just small money. You can buy the entire market if you just take out a piece of jewelry."

"That's right, then don't come back!" Irene showed a happy smile.

Then Irene became even more lavish in buying things, and did not take the change from others. The vendors were also very happy to have such customers and kept praising her. Irene was also very happy. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

"I bought so many things and spent more than thirty Silver Coins. It's so cheap." Irene said excitedly, holding up the ingredients in his hands.

Claire was not embarrassed to speak at the side. The pile of ingredients was only three Silver Coins. If you paid ten times the price, why should you be happy? If he came, he wouldn't even have to spend money to buy these things. He could just take them. Before he left, the vendors would probably give him a few green onions or something.

"Let's go, let's go." Irene took the ingredients and rushed out of the market excitedly, then suddenly stopped beside the Wolf King, turned around and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"After buying the ingredients, of course we'll make lunch." Claire jumped on the Wolf King's back and stretched out his hand to pull Irene up.

"I want to eat that elbow!" Irene sat on the Wolf King's back and waved his hands excitedly, "I bought that myself!"

"Okay, we happen to have a special dish about elbow here, please try it Irene."
