Scorpius was taken aback, then managed to squeeze out a fake smile and sat back in his seat, bowing his head slightly, "Of course, Your Majesty, I was the one who overstepped just now."
"If I were you, Duke Hussein." Double Leaf, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly gave an evil smile, turned around, and winked maliciously at Scorpius, loudly saying in a blatantly straightforward tone, "Even if it's just for the sake of appearances, I would definitely pay for my inadvertent offense to His Majesty. This way, others won't think of me as an idiot with a head full of shit."
Scorpius glared at her angrily, "What did you say?"
"I said that being calm is a good quality." Double Leaf smirked, revealing a row of neatly arranged white teeth, "Especially for a person with considerable influence and a limited appetite."
Scorpius Hussein could swear to heaven that this was the first time in his life he'd heard someone insinuate that his appetite was limited.
