Pierre's face contorted. Half in anger, half in shame. Lily's words were both direct and unexpected. How could a woman be so… direct? He felt his face redden with shame. Slowly, he balled his hands into fist under the table as he tried to control his rage inside. "Madam Zhou… I don't seem to understand your words?" Then he looked at Mikaela and the Duke as he started speaking in German. "She is pretty rude." He commented.
Lily only responded with a smile as she also looked at the Grand Duke's stern face. "I'm sorry for ruining the lunch." Despite understanding a little bit of what Pierre said, Lily didn't want to prolong this conversation anymore. She had decided that she needed to rest from her flight. "I believe he owes me an apology."
