Looking at Navia, who was bowing to them, Yuto and Lady Furina exchanged helpless glances, then let out a soft sigh.
"Miss Navia, you really don't have to do this."
Lady Furina walked up to Navia as she spoke, reaching out to support the young woman's arm and slowly helping her up, then said:
"Helping the residents of Beryl Region escape danger... these are things that Lord Yuto and I should do."
"I am the Water God of Fontaine, and he is the Assistant Administrator of Fontaine. Every resident of Beryl Region is a part of Fontaine. Protecting all of you... is inherently our responsibility."
A gentle smile appeared on Lady Furina's delicate face, causing Navia to feel a momentary daze.
Whether it was her confrontation with Lady Furina in the Opera House earlier, or the smile she displayed at this very moment, both bore at least a seventy percent resemblance to Lord Yuto.
"Sure enough... spending a long time with someone makes you unconsciously pick up their habits, doesn't it?"
A difficult-to-discern light flashed in Navia's mist-blue eyes, as if she had realized something.
During their last gathering... she had already noticed the unusually good compatibility between the two of them.
Although her sixth sense told her there was definitely a big secret between these two, she had no direct evidence to prove it.
"Directly asking about someone's romantic life or their relationship with others... that way of speaking is a bit too impolite."
This was Navia's way of thinking.
But what Navia didn't know was... there was a saying in Ritou called, "The bold get stuffed, the timid starve."
Charlotte was bold, and now she was full from the Fontaine Opera cake Lord Yuto had given her;
Navia was timid now, not even daring to ask, fearing that something might go wrong with her relationship with Lord Yuto.
Thinking of this, Navia quickly shook her head, then refocused her attention on Lady Furina in front of her.
Looking at Lady Furina's gentle expression, Navia softly "Mm-hmmed," and after a slight hesitation, she spoke:
"Lady Furina, you must be aware, right? All of this... is for us to— "
Before Navia could finish speaking, Lady Furina nodded gently, the gentle smile on her face not receding, and her voice became even softer.
"Although Lord Yuto and I are tired of saying some things, it is not your fault."
"Whether you thank us out of gratitude or out of guilt, we have always been doing what we should do from beginning to end."
Hearing this, Lord Yuto narrowed his eyes slightly, then said with a light chuckle:
"Of course, when you express your gratitude to me or Lady Furina... we will be very happy, because we know that our actions have been truly understood."
Lord Yuto's sudden interjection left Lady Furina momentarily speechless, and she could only nod in agreement.
Watching Lord Yuto and Lady Furina playing off each other, Navia slowly closed her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and then softly said:
"Then... welcome, everyone, to Beryl Region. Although it's not yet completed, at least the basic facilities are all in place."
"If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Beryl Region for a while after you finish your business, rest, and then continue on to your next task."
"As for Polo, whom the Fontaine Opera troupe is looking for... the Spina di Rosula's butler, Miles, will take you to him shortly."
Hearing this, Lauvik, who had been standing behind Lord Yuto and the others, repeatedly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, Miss Navia, as part of the Fontaine Opera troupe, we know where Polo lives—"
"But that's the address in Old Beryl Region, not New Beryl Region, isn't it?"
"Besides, having a local who is familiar with the environment lead you will always save some trouble and effort. It's better than constantly going in circles, isn't it?"
However, just as Navia was about to say more, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared at the end of the street.
"Boss! It seems we're running out of wood again! Please come and take a look!"
"Alright! I'll be right there!"
Navia first responded to the Spina di Rosula member, then said apologetically:
"Everyone, I apologize, Beryl Region still encounters some problems from time to time, and the decisions for these problems all need to be made by me, so..."
She did not continue speaking, trusting that those present would understand her meaning.
Looking at Navia, Lord Yuto smiled faintly, then said:
"No problem, if Beryl Region needs help, remember to tell me."
"Don't rush to refuse; this is a blueprint left by your Father, and it's also one of Mr. Cares's entrustments. As his friend, I should help out a bit."
Hearing Lord Yuto's words, a look of surprise appeared on Navia's face, then she nodded gently, gave Miles a look, and quickly left.
"Everyone, this way please."
Miles bowed deeply to everyone, then led them towards Polo's residence.
...
Polo's house was neither too far nor too close from the entrance of Beryl Region, which led to their large procession encountering many residents of Beryl Region along the way.
But everything that happened along the way was not as peaceful and relaxed as Lord Yuto had imagined.
If Lady Furina had come to Beryl Region alone, perhaps, as he had said before, most people would have looked at her with reverence, and only a few would have come up to talk to her.
But now it wasn't just Lady Furina; both of them were here.
He had underestimated his popularity in Beryl Region, and he had underestimated the sensation caused by his and Lady Furina's simultaneous appearance in Beryl Region.
"Lord Yuto! You're finally here! Thank you for the timber you brought to Beryl Region!"
"Lady Furina is here! Thank you for having Lord Yuto help us! Would you like to stay for a simple meal?"
"Lord Yuto! My mother told me to study hard and get into Jingshui Court in the future to help you!"
"Lady Furina, are you really going to continue performing in the Fontaine Opera? Is it really all about language, as reported in Steambird Newspaper?"
"Please sign an autograph for me, Lady Furina!"
"Oh my goodness, these two actually visited Beryl Region at the same time? This old man can die without regrets, without regrets!"
