This aunt has never seen anyone like this before.

"You threw cake in my face and you expect me to pay for it?"

"Is there no law anymore?! Is there no justice?!"

The aunt stared wide-eyed, and Kraken's outstretched tentacle simultaneously revealed the eyes on its tentacles.

Qin Yiyi was taken aback.

"My goodness! This tentacle monster even has eyes!" What a strange creature, truly a strange creature!

"Give me back the money for the cake!" Kraken was furious!

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qin Yiyi gave him a money bag that was mostly filled with copper coins! There were also a few silver and gold coins. In this Eternal City where every inch of land is precious, his meager money would be gone after eating two cakes, and one of them was even eaten by this old lady!

How awful!

"You ate my cake and didn't pay? And you still have the nerve to complain?"

"Where did I eat your cake?"

"You were clearly licking your lips just now!"

"....."

The situation took an abrupt turn, and those around were somewhat taken aback by this turn of events.

The duty sprites arrived quickly.

"What's going on? Fighting is not allowed in the main city!"

Qin Yiyi looked at the tentacle monster who kept arguing with people but couldn't say anything except "I owe you money for the cake," and pulled him over.

"I'm so sorry, I'm just a young person who hasn't been in the workforce for long, and all I know is to ask you to pay for the cake. I made a mistake!"

Kraken was resentful of being left behind; this cake was really expensive!

When the aunt saw that Qin Yiyi was a girl who was easy to talk to and polite, her expression immediately changed, and she felt that she had Qin Yiyi under her control.

Clutching at her clothes, she said, "Look at these clothes of mine, they're brand new, and he just threw them and got them dirty with cake. You'll have to pay me back with ten gold coins!"

What an outrageous demand!

Upon seeing that the orc and the elf were having a conflict, and that it was clearly the orc's fault, the on-duty elf immediately demanded that Qin Yiyi pay ten gold coins without asking any questions.

Qin Yiyi sighed and shook her head.

"That's why I say to you young people, don't you see my outfit? You could have gotten this for a few hundred or a thousand gold coins, yet you're asking me to pay you ten gold coins in return!"

"Then you should compensate this woman with twenty gold coins!"

"......"

Qin Yiyi glanced at the duty elf with considerable difficulty. After growing from small to large, she felt that the cerebellum would not turn into the brain.

Qin Yiyi smiled and took out her token at the on-duty elf.

"Look at this token, and repeat what you just said?"

The on-duty elf coughed a few times.

"You, you are a distinguished guest of the Eternal City!" His voice finally began to tremble; the young man would ultimately have to take responsibility for his recklessness.

"What distinguished guests from the Eternal City? Would distinguished guests even come to our flower market? Distinguished guests just go to the flower nursery and choose freely!"

"Shut up!"

The duty elf looked at this clueless aunt and cursed her eight hundred times in her heart. Now look what happened, she has offended the token that holds the VIP mark on her very first day of duty.

His first lesson upon taking up his post was that one should not offend the person holding such a token.

I never expected that his arrival would lead to a dead end!

"I'm so sorry, it was my mistake, but..." It was obvious that the cake was thrown by the octopus beastman in front of him.

However, once he had settled his mind, he immediately turned to ask the florist.

"Why would someone throw cake at you? Would they throw it at you for no reason? Of course not. There must be something wrong with you for them to throw cake at you. Tell me what you did!"

!!

The reversal came so quickly that it surprised not only the florist but also everyone around. What kind of token could make this on-duty elf change its expression so instantly?

Isn't this always the case? In this situation, we'll definitely prioritize protecting our own people!

Why today...?

"I did nothing wrong! This half-elf took the flowers my son planted and refused to admit it. We were arguing when he smeared cake on my face!"

"Your flowers?" The on-duty elf looked over.

"Your name is Dodora?" he asked, noticing the name on the flowerpot.

"No, this is my name," Dodora said softly. She was actually very regretful for making a big fuss. If she was involved and the officer on duty made her pay compensation for no reason, she would rather not have the flower. Her family was already struggling to make ends meet. If she was ordered to pay compensation, she really wouldn't be able to go back to see her mother!

She clenched her teeth tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.

A small tentacle slid down from behind her and patted her shoulder.

Hey buddy, don't worry, relax.

She doesn't look well; she probably can't relax.

Hey, I can see her sweating! She's probably really worried about losing money right now!

It's a pity we couldn't say anything, otherwise we could have comforted her!

[Poor child, this city is no place for a human to live. You could come to our territory and be a happy little slave!]

[Ha, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Even if you're a slave in our territory, no one will discriminate against you!]

Discrimination will result in performance penalties!

【clear!】

The on-duty elves weren't brainless; after a few words, they figured out that the flower belonged to a half-elf, but the florist wanted to keep it for himself, and these two noble people were standing up for him.

Knowing the cause and effect, isn't it simple?

"Clean yourself up, pay for the cake, apologize to the person who owes you the favor, and that'll be the end of it!"

This woman clearly didn't expect that in the end, she would actually have to pay compensation and apologize.

"Why?! They're the ones who threw my cake!"

"If you don't want to keep this flowerpot for yourself, who threw your cake at you? Do you know that this cake is Miss Sweetie's latest product, costing one gold coin each? Do you know how expensive Miss Sweetie's pastries are? Hurry up and pay for it instead of causing trouble here!"

"Wait, we don't need to apologize. It's this half-elf who needs to apologize. She slandered others for no reason. Even if there are names on the pots and flowers, it doesn't prove that they belong to this half-elf. Is there no justice or fairness left in the Eternal City? Are all the laws biased towards elves and made for elves?"

this....

"Making an elf apologize to a half-elf...that's really inappropriate, after all, they're half-elf..."

"What's wrong with half-elves? Is this a racial issue? Is this a question of who's right and who's wrong!"

Qin Yiyi became serious; she really hated this kind of thing.

“Yesterday your Eternal Duke told me that this is the safest, most reliable, and most harmonious city. I think the Eternal Capital is nothing special. What safety, reliability, and harmony? Racial discrimination is so serious. If you don’t like half-elves, you can let them come to my territory!”
