That cool voice carried a barely concealed anger and dissatisfaction, yet the words spoken were in the most authentic language of Country Y, similar to English, yet pronounced in a distinctly different way:
"Mr. Karl, perhaps you are still unaware to what extent Huaxia, that small place, has developed. I, this country bumpkin, just happen to be proficient in the language of Country Y..."
Karl froze.
Disbelieving, he turned to look at Shen Bijun, only to see Shen Bijun looking back at him icily.
That cold gaze seemed as if it could devour someone whole, scaring Karl so much that the words he had been about to say got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
He choked for a moment, then tried to say something, but Princess Daisy hurriedly interjected, "Crown Princess, I didn't know you spoke Country Y's language so well. How many languages are you fluent in?"
This comment deftly shifted the topic and also prevented Karl from assigning her any more tasks.
