"My lie is exposed."
It wasn't well hidden to begin with.

"So chocolate is sweet, then?"
Well, if you want to be pedantic, it's bitter. But you can make it sweet. Caramel is sweet, though.

Dragon just phasing through the window.

"...Being selfish isn't good, you know?"
Says the one holding her up for selfish reasons.

"...It has nothing to do with that."
His lies are on par with hers.

I believe chocolate by itself isn't sweet. But I guess they used that terms to encompass the dessert dishes.

This is simply what happens when you try to be too elaborate with your lies.
Just state that they are colors in your language and you don't know their etymology.
How many people know the origin of even the common color names like "black" and "white"?
The prince might have some intuition that it's food-related, but he'd have nothing concrete to argue.

That said, this is not me criticizing the scene.
Many people do tend to act this way when pressed or surprised, so it's realistic enough.

I mean, I know that black and blue have the same origin. But yeah, she's really just digging herself into a hole with those lies. Just follow the KISS rule for lies if you're not really good at it.
