Chapter 793: This thing is not tasty
Looking at the black, unappealing lump in Robb's pot, resembling mud, the queen remained composed. She thought it was far-fetched to think that she would let him kiss her based on this pathetic thing. She didn't even need to taste it to know it wouldn't be delicious. Even if the white sugar could offset some bitterness, it couldn't possibly turn this thing into the best food in the Maya continent. It was absolutely impossible.
She didn't reach out to take it but calmly said, "Before I try this thing, we need to discuss how we define the term 'delicious.' It's a subjective matter. The same thing can be considered tasty by some and distasteful by others. If you unilaterally claim that this thing is delicious and then force me to concede and let you kiss me, I won't be able to argue reasonably."
Robb chuckled and asked, "Makes sense. How should we determine whether it's tasty or not?"
The queen sneered, "Let's have everyone in this room try a small piece. We have 21 people here, including you and me. If the majority agrees that this thing is the most delicious food in the Maya continent, then you win. If the majority disagrees, then I win."
Robb nodded, "That's a very reasonable method of comparison, fair and just. I completely agree. Okay, let's do it this way."
The queen felt delighted upon hearing this. "Tou've fallen into my trap. There are a total of 21 people in this room, but if we count you, the people from Westwind City and the natives only make up ten votes. The other eleven votes are in my hands! Regardless of whether this thing is tasty or not, I've already secured my victory."
Among the people in the room, ten of them were the Maya tribe leader, five eagle warriors, and Robb, the mine foreman, the cat folk leader, and the cat girl Huahua.
The remaining eleven people were the queen and her ten attendants. Such a lopsided vote count, was it even worth conducting a vote here?
The queen didn't even need to give orders to her subordinates. She just sat there with a stern expression on her face, and she would get the desired result.
She didn't rush to try it herself but instructed one of her subordinates, "You try it first!"
The subordinate took a small piece of the muddy black substance from Robb and put it in his mouth. The expression on his face at that moment was truly indescribable. He glanced at the queen, then at Robb, and then at the remaining black pieces in the pot. It was unclear what his expression meant.
He seemed to want to eat another piece, or perhaps lean towards Robb's side. But in the end, he wore an expression of "My conscience hurts" and voted for the queen's side. With a trembling voice, he said, "Not tasty!"Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
Robb smiled and said nothing, "It's okay. Everyone's taste buds are different, so it's normal for you to find it unappetizing. Don't be so upset."
The subordinate was so upset that he was on the verge of tears but still retreated behind the queen.
The queen was surprised by the expression on the his face.
Then, the Maya chief took a taste. He only had a small bite, but his facial expression was as if he had been smacked with a honey jar. His features seemed to be melting, and without hesitation, he stood behind Robb and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Robb say, "Since you dont find it delicious, I won't give it to you anymore." As he spoke, he put the remaining large piece of that thing behind his back, hiding it.
The queen: "..."
She forced herself to appear calm and said, "There's no need to be like this. Although it's not tasty, I can occasionally eat a tiny bit and endure the discomfort."
Robb shook his head and said, "That won't do. It's too much of a compromise for you. If something is not delicious, you should firmly avoid eating it. Don't force yourself. It's not good for your health and it affects your mood."
The queen said, "No, no, I believe that occasionally eating something bitter can help me appreciate the sweetness."
Robb continued shaking his head and said, "Actually, there's no need to reminisce about bitterness. What's done is done. Humans should learn to look forward and not dwell on the past. The hardships we endured before are unnecessary to experience again in the future."
The queen said, "This doesn't align with my life philosophy!"
They continued arguing aimlessly...
Robb said, "What's the use of all this pointless arguing? I'll make it simple. If you say it's not tasty, I won't make it anymore and will throw it away." He took the remaining large piece, intending to throw it into the nearby mud pit.
"Stop!" the queen exclaimed in alarm. "Hold on!"
"Why are you panicking? It's not tasty anyway."
The queen: "..."
The queen clenched her small fist, looked at Robb with a pitiful expression for a while, and finally lowered her head. "I lost! It's delicious! Don't throw it away! Give me another small piece, just a small piece."
