Chapter 453 Aren’t they unwilling at all?Ranran is the person closest to Armand, so she can naturally feel the low pressure on Armand. He is angry, absolutely.
Since entering the Flower Eater, she has never seen Armand have any negative emotions towards her.
He had always been indulgent, partial, and even gentle towards her.
Count Armand has never been a man who could be described as gentle, but he is indeed that way in front of Ranran.
Although Ranran didn't know the reason, she could feel that this gentleness that belonged only to her was about to end.
Two people with completely different cognition, values, and visions may reach a temporary consensus on certain things, but it will not last long.
Once each other touches the bottom line of the other party, the beautiful illusion created before will definitely be broken.
Ranran just didn't expect it to be so early, as the main quest had just begun.
She met Armand's gaze without fear, "That's what I thought."
Ranran didn't forget what Armand said. He said she could express whatever she wanted and he would forgive her no matter what she said.
She would definitely keep this in mind.
Ah Fu was really worried about Ran Ran behind him. Miss Elizabeth... was really not shy at all.
If anyone else had spoken to the host like this, that person would have turned into "freshly squeezed tomato juice" long ago.
Armand nodded to show that he understood, and actually brushed aside the topic lightly, which made everyone feel the same way.
That's it? ! !
I thought he would punish Ranran severely, and Christine had very strong thoughts about this.
"Respected Count Armand, you shouldn't let her off so easily. She has seriously offended your dignity by comparing the nobility to those lowly servants!"
"She doesn't even take the nobles seriously!"
Ran Ran lifted her eyelids and looked at Kristen, "Aren't they all human?"
Christine was stunned, "What?"
Ran Ran repeated patiently, "I say, nobles and commoners are not human beings? The same knife can cut Toke's throat, and it can also cut your throat, madam."
"If you want to be superior to others, you must at least show some real skills, like a head of steel and arms or something like that."
"Tok is a man of flesh and blood. Swords, spears, and halberds can all kill him, but you are invulnerable and not afraid of them. So I can admit that you are better than Tok."
Christine was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
"You must be crazy! Comparing me to that lowly Tok!"
"People like him are not commoners, they are untouchables!"
Ran Ran spread his hands, "I have learned not to waste words with people who cannot communicate."
"You actually said that I can't communicate! You are simply... simply unreasonable! Count Armand! You should discipline this girl!" Christine's face turned red, like a red balloon about to explode.
Ran Ran blinked her eyes, "I have made it very clear, Madam, if you want to feel that you are superior to others, you must have real ability. Relying on a hereditary title that will never change is not real ability."
"Your background is just more fortunate, which allows you to have better material conditions, but it does not make you superior to others."
Ran Ran said calmly: "You are still a human being."
"I'm curious, since you keep talking about common people and untouchables, do you really feel that you are more noble because of this?"
Christine was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Ran Ran continued: "And even if you follow your own logic, you can't be self-consistent."
"You have always insisted on the etiquette of the nobility and the rudeness of the common people. Have you really been polite yourself?"
Christine angrily threw her wide skirt aside and walked towards Armand with the clatter of her shoes, "You must discipline this girl!!!" Armand did not even blink at her sonic attack, "Madam Christine, you are just a guest of the castle. You have no right to tell Elizabeth what to do."
"Besides, I don't think Elizabeth needs any discipline."
Armand said calmly: "She is a good child."
"She disobeyed you! She disobeyed me! She didn't take all the nobles seriously! She is still a good child?!!!"
Christine was so angry that her spit flew at Armand when she spoke. Armand stood behind her, feeling at a loss for the first time.
Should he go up to help his master block the saliva attack? But... the rude woman opposite is Mrs. Christine...
If he had made a direct move to cover it, Mrs. Christine would never have forgiven him.
No lady could tolerate such behavior...if Lady Christine could be called a lady now...
The room finally quieted down after Christine vented her anger.
Although Ran Ran felt that this lady was not done venting, but was just tired of yelling, she was really polite~
Ah Fu bent down in panic and presented the handkerchief to Armand with both hands. Armand took it and wiped it casually.
Christine stood there, perhaps she had sobered up a little and was no longer completely dominated by anger. Seeing Armand's face like that, her face turned pale.
"What do you mean?"
Armand frowned slightly, "I didn't mean anything."
The next second, he stuffed the handkerchief into Christine’s hand and said, “It’s yours, I’ll give it back to you.”
Christine screamed and threw the handkerchief away, "It's not mine! How could you do this to me, Count! It's such a dirty thing!"
Armand said calmly: "It didn't belong to you originally, but it belongs to you after it got touched by your saliva."
Christine was almost driven crazy by Armand's attitude, "Count, you must have been infected by that girl! You are also infected with madness!"
"I believe everyone knows who among the people present looks most like a madman." Armand's cold gray eyes were tinged with indifference, and it was obvious that he was already bored with this part.
"Another thing, since you also know that your saliva is dirty, you shouldn't get so close to me and go crazy."
"Ma'am and I are not close, and I have no obligation to help you solve your emotional problems."
Christine stood there, her expression changing rapidly, finally settling on reluctance and anger.
But she left anyway and returned to her original seat.
Christine might be stupid, and would fly into a rage over Ran Ran's few words of truth, but she has been able to live in this world for so long, so she must have at least grasped some truths of survival, such as:
No matter what, she could not fall out with someone like Armand.
Even though she was already a noble among nobles and could marry a powerful upstart like Melris, she still had no choice.
It’s not that it can’t be done, but that we simply don’t dare to do it.
Didn't she want to break up? But that would mean she would have to bear all the consequences of a falling out.
The fundamental reason why Christine lacks courage is not that she is afraid of Armand's power and status, but that she dare not lose her current affluent life.
She and Armand are essentially the same kind of people, beneficiaries of today's corrupt system.
But there is still a little difference between them, their identities are different.
Armand is power itself, the system is created with his acquiescence, and Christine is just a dependent of power.
Thinking of this, Ranran couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the angry Christine.
She had been preparing and planning all her life, as if she was born to marry Mellis, and working hard to climb to the top was just an appendage of power.
How rotten is this world that a woman like Christine can be completely content with the status quo.
Aren't they unwilling at all?
