Of course, I wanted to reply but I stopped myself when I remembered that silence is the best answer for a fool," I said calmly, without showing any emotions.

He sputtered, “You insolent—!” Elira cut him off, her tone now laced with a pity that was more insulting than any shout. “There is an old saying, my lord. One fact can silence a hundred intelligent men. But a hundred facts cannot silence a single fool.” The insult was so elegantly delivered that a few lords masked coughs into their fists.
