It’s a game of charades. The jester is imitating the king himself (hence the quotation marks in the jester’s word bubbles) and the king just got it.
Of course, saying ‘I’m only marrying Princess Fabiana for her kingdom’s wealth’ in front of now-Queen Fabiana is a bit of an insult, which is why the queen looks less than amused…
@Visor @Darchon @Marscaleb Spot on. I wasn’t going for charades exactly, it was more like a dig to “relatable” humor where the whole thing is just that the reader can relate to a situation and that’s it. But charades fit perfectly too. At the last minute I decided that what the king related to was crass and unflattering towards the queen, so kudos Darchon for picking up on that.
I couldn’t understand it. Can anyone explain it?
I believe it is a joke about the saying “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free”.
I think it’s a joke about the jester telling a joke that’s “relatable” for the king.

You gotta play to your crowd.
