Chapter 807: Good Intentions Concealment

On the way to the Gray River stronghold, Navia and Clorinde had an argument.

To be precise, it was Navia who made the unilateral accusation, and Clorinde endured it silently.

Navia: "Claulinde, I owe you my thanks for your help. But before I do, could you explain why you were there? Were you following me?"

Clorinde showed a hesitant expression and stammered, "I... just thought you'd be in danger recently, so I followed you."

"Isn't that tracking?" Su Gang finished speaking when he was quietly pulled aside by Kong, whose radar had become extremely sensitive at some point.

Paimon gestured to keep his voice down, then whispered in the girl's ear, "Su, don't you think there's something weird going on between them?"

It seems that they are not just acquaintances, but also seem to have a strong connection and misunderstanding.

Navia's two subordinates had already quietly left, so it would be better for them not to intervene or disturb them.

Su looked at Navia and Clorinde, nodded, and concentrated on reading gossip with her friends.

Navia, who is cheerful and bright like a little sun, and Clorinde, who is quiet and dignified like the night moon, have completely opposite styles, but they look very harmonious when standing together.

Well, they were arguing very harmoniously.

"I believe they won't attack again in the short term. I won't follow you anymore. Goodbye, everyone." Clorinde said goodbye to everyone and left sadly.

Miles advised Navia, "Miss, I think Miss Clorinde is sincere. Perhaps we can ease our relationship with her..."

Navia clenched her hands, "Don't say that again, Myles."

Miles sighed and said no more.

Navia quickly adjusted her state and looked at the group of travelers, "We're almost at the Gray River. Do you want to hear me introduce the 'underground world' of Fontaine?"

"I want to listen," Su said, "but I'm more curious about what's going on between you and Clorinde."

Sora and Paimon covered their foreheads with their hands.

Paimon: "Sorry... I didn't stop you right away."

Navia laughed dryly twice, "Ahaha..."

Su: "If you have questions, you should communicate them promptly and properly. Otherwise, won't the conflict just get bigger and bigger if it gets stuck in your heart?"

"Although it seems that Clorinde's attitude is better, the one who has been actively communicating is actually Navia, isn't it?"

In her impression, Clorinde was decisive and efficient, but in front of Navia, she always hesitated and seemed to be hesitant, not at all straightforward.

Navia opened her blue eyes wide and excitedly held the girl's hand, "Su is right!"

That’s it!

It was clearly she who had been overcoming her emotions and moving forward, and it was clearly Clorinde who had been avoiding communication, but the people around her kept persuading her, making her unable to help but doubt herself!

Recognized by the girl, Navia regained her confidence and mood, and took the initiative to talk about what happened between her and Clorinde.

"Claulinde and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together."

Clorinde's master, Miss Petronilla, is a friend of Navia's father, Mr. Cares.

When her master was often away on business, young Clorinde would be sent to Navia's house to prevent her from starving to death.

"Miss Petronilla is a very elegant person, but she is very rough in life, especially in raising children."

Navia complained, "I once suspected that Clorinde had the blood of some special creature, which is why she was able to survive under Miss Petronilla's care."

Paimon was shocked. "Has it reached the level of 'surviving'?... Just how unreliable is this Miss Petronilla as a parent?"

In short, Navia and Clorinde are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, or it is also okay to say that they are sisters without blood relationship.

Sue: “But it seems like you’ve broken up now?”

Navia smiled bitterly, "Because of a duel."

Navia's father, Carles, was identified as the murderer more than three years ago, but he refused to be tried and eventually died in a duel.

The duel agent who defeated Navia's father was Clorinde.

The traveler team all showed surprised expressions, and Su even regretted asking about the matter between Navia and Clorinde.

She was just curious about why these two good sisters who obviously still cared about each other would quarrel and fall out, but she had no idea that such a cruel thing had happened between them.

Su secretly looked at Navia's expression, afraid that he would make her cry.

Navia didn't cry. She had broken down many times because of those memories, but now she was able to remain calm on the surface.

The rule of the duel is that if the opponent does not surrender voluntarily, the duel agent cannot choose to stop.

Navia knew that Clorinde had done nothing wrong in this matter, she was just doing her duty.

But...but! Even though she understood it intellectually, emotionally she still found it difficult to accept this fact.

"I've never understood why my father refused to stand trial, why he insisted on entering the duel, and why... he didn't tell me anything."

The look in her father's eyes was filled with worry and a thousand words for her, but until the end he still said nothing and told her nothing.

Sora: "It sounds like Mr. Cares has some difficulties."

Paimon: "It seems like Clorinde also has some difficulties."

Su: "Everyone has their own reasons, but they don't say anything, leaving Navia alone in the dark and suffering from the sadness. This is not what a father and a relative should do."

Miles looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. But the next second he thought of something and, like every time before, he put aside his hesitation and chose to remain silent.

Paimon: "Su, you still don't understand what a benevolent concealment is."

"Of course I understand." Su said unconvincedly, "But benign concealment can only be used in small matters. When encountering major issues, the principle is to be honest and explain. Let's face it together."

Paimon was convinced, "Yeah...it seems like we've always done this."

Navia: "I really envy you and I like the atmosphere of solidarity among you."

The kind of atmosphere where as long as everyone is together, no difficulties can be overcome and no bad mood can last long.

"Just three seconds of envy is enough," Su looked at Navia's side, "After all, Navia, you already have a partner like this."

During the attack by the security agency, the two deacons who were asked by Navia to protect their traveler team kept an eye on Navia's situation while carrying out their mission.

Judging from their body movements, they are ready to defend Navia with their bodies and lives at any time.

Navia followed the girl's gaze and looked at Myles and Silver, who had been quiet most of the time tonight.

Su was right. Those who had always been with her and protected her were her partners and family.

Navia showed the first happy smile without any gloom tonight.
