Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"How can this compare with what you eat in the palace?"

Vera complained, but this aroused Kathleen's questions even more.

"Why? It's not all ice cream, that's the big difference."

Seeing the somewhat innocent Kathleen, Vera thought about it for a while, but she couldn't think of any good words, so she had no choice but to give up.

"If you give him ten gold coins, maybe he can make you an ice cream just like the one in the palace."

"Really? Then I'll try."

"Huh? I'm just joking, don't really go..."

Vera, who had originally given up persuading Kathleen, chose to be a little bit weird. However, Kathleen didn't hear what Vera meant. Instead, she really planned to go to the ice cream owner, which made Vera quickly stop her.

"My Princess, do you know how much ten gold coins are?"

"Um...about...a day's salary?"

"..."

Vera didn't expect that a super lady like Kathleen, who had no concept of money, would actually know the concept of daily salary, but she still shook her head speechlessly.

"One gold coin is equal to 1 silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins. Do you understand?"

"Oh, so what?"

However, even after Vera gave Kathleen some knowledge that the other party might not need, Kathleen still looked at Vera with a blank expression. Even so, Kathleen still didn't know what the ten gold coins represented. .

"By the way, this is the conversion rule for general coins. In addition, 1 copper coin is equivalent to 1 magic crystal."

This was Yingge's intervention. If she hadn't said it, Vera would have never known that the currency they were using now was called universal currency.

"No, no, that's not the point."

Vera shook his head. It didn't matter what currency he used. What mattered was what the money represented.

"Listen up, my dear Princess, you have to know that the monthly income of a commoner is only about thirty silver coins. Ten gold coins are enough for most families to last more than a year."

"Hey, so many?"

After Vera's explanation, Kathleen finally understood. However, although she had some knowledge about gold coins, she still didn't quite understand the purchasing power of these coins.

"Then we just spent 70 copper coins. In other words, a civilian working for a month can buy more than copies..."

Katherine counted up her fingers. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Vera.

"Uh...it seems...a little short."

"Because I am just a commoner, I am definitely incomparable to you, Her Royal Highness. For example, do you know how much you eat in one meal?"

"This one……"

After listening to Vera's words, Kathleen was silent for a while, and then she whispered tentatively: "About... about ten silver coins?"

"..."

"About ten gold coins."

Just when Vera was silent, Yingge suddenly spoke. She was actually Katherine's personal maid, so she knew all the information about Katherine.

"Are there that many?"

"This is just a conservative estimate."

After listening to Yingge's words, Kathleen lowered her head and started thinking. She had to spend so much money on one meal. How much would the royal family's monthly expenses be?

Seeing Kathleen fall silent, Vera felt that this topic might be a bit inappropriate, so she planned to change the topic.

"Speaking of which, that man named Fedor, Your Highness, you seem to be very close to him? Who is he?"

"Eh? Well...he is the eldest son of Duke Burke's family. He has grown up with me since he was a child, so we are very close."

"That's it..."

Speaking of Fedor, who was still recovering from his injuries, Kathleen suddenly had a blush on her face, and even her tone of voice became much softer.

"Then what is his relationship with you, Your Highness?"

Vera saw the change in Kathleen's expression, and the gossip soul in her heart began to burn brightly, so she began to try to find out more information.

"This...he...is my fiancé."

Katherine became even more shy at this time. This seemed to be the first time she introduced someone like this. Katharine has been with Fedor almost since she was sensible. They grew up and studied together. It was when she first entered the academy to study in the elementary department that the king told her that Fedor would be her fiancé from now on. , which gave Kathleen new ideas about the man who grew up with her and was like her brother.

"Yeah, that's it."

Hearing this, Vera nodded with satisfaction. She heard some important news today, and she must share it with Fa Fuwei and the others after she returns.

"Let's not talk about this for now. There is still some time now. Let's go somewhere else to play. Otherwise, we will have to go back when we get to the gate."

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Kathleen stood up and wanted to leave.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished the ice cream yet."

They have been talking since just now. The ice cream in front of the two of them is almost melting. Lu Ren usually teaches Vera not to waste it, so Vera is not willing to throw away the ice cream at this time. As for Yingge, she had almost finished eating because she barely interrupted.

"All right……"

After listening to Vera's dissuasion, Kathleen sat down again. Although she was not used to eating this kind of ice cream, she still tried to put it into her mouth in small sips.

Perhaps what she just said reminded Kathleen of her childhood, which made a smile appear on her face unconsciously.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something happy?"

Seeing Kathleen laughing, Vera stepped forward and asked. After hearing Vera's words, Kathleen, who was still a little shy at first, blushed and seemed to be planning not to care so much.

"Well, since you want to know, let me tell you some stories about me and Fedor in the past."

After clearing her throat, under the curious eyes of Vera and Yingge, Kathleen began to recall her childhood.

It was an afternoon no different from usual. Fed up with the chattering of the palace teachers, Kathleen took the opportunity to go to the toilet and sneaked away. But her behavior was discovered by Fedor, who was in class with her at the time, so the latter came to find her.

Seeing that Fedor wanted to pull her back to continue listening to the old man chanting sutras, Kathleen ran away in a hurry. Fedor had no choice but to chase behind her and persuade Kathleen to stop.

Maybe she had been restrained for too long. With you chasing me like this, Kathleen actually felt a little happy, as if she was playing a game of catch with Fedor, so the two of them began to play in the palace. Running around.

In the end, an accident occurred. While escaping, Kathleen looked back at Fedor, who had been following her, so she did not notice the front. When she turned back, she directly bumped into an antique vase. on the pillar.

As Catherine was knocked down by the reaction force, her father's beloved antique vase also staggered down like a dead leaf in the cold wind, and fell to the ground and shattered.

At this time, Kathleen couldn't even care about the big bag on her head. She looked at the debris on the ground in front of her. When she thought about the inevitable lesson later, she suddenly burst into tears.

Fedor, who was catching up behind him, looked at the scene in front of him and had no idea what to do. When the palace maid and the guards arrived, he was a little overwhelmed by what was happening in front of him.

But in the end it was Fedor who took the initiative and said that he pushed Catherine, causing her to knock the vase over. Take all the blame.

Kathleen was not punished in any way after the incident, but she never saw Fedor again.
