“Lord Furina, who is this young lady by your side?” Clorinde stared intently at Elysia and asked.
As a martial artist, she could clearly sense that Elysia possessed immense power.
As someone who had always stayed by Furina’s side, Clorinde knew very well that Elysia had never appeared around Furina before.
Bringing back such a strong individual after just going out for a short while today forced Clorinde to suspect whether Elysia had ulterior motives.
Although Furina was a deity, and even though Clorinde had never seen Furina act, he figured his strength must be extremely formidable.
However, Furina had always acted somewhat foolishly, making it highly likely that he had been deceived.
“Beautiful lady, although Elysia is indeed very pretty, if you keep staring at me like that, I’ll get shy too♪” “Alright, Clorinde, Elysia is not a bad person.
She is my familiar.” “A familiar?” Now it was Clorinde’s turn to be dumbfounded.
Lord Furina actually had a familiar?
When did that happen?
Watching Clorinde standing there in a daze, Elysia explained, “Elysia is indeed Lord Furina’s familiar, oh!
For the past 500 years, I’ve been completing the tasks Lord Furina gave me, and only returned to Fontaine today♪” This explanation was pre-arranged between Elysia and Furina.
After all, matters concerning the divinity and Focalors were too sensitive.
Furina would never leak it to anyone before the prophecy ended; this was a secret he had to guard no matter what.
Only this kind of explanation could possibly deceive Neuvillette.
If it were before Neuvillette came to Fontaine to become the Chief Justice, even he wouldn’t be able to verify it.
After all, Elysia was indeed a genuine familiar of the Hydro Archon now.
Clorinde looked at Furina.
“What she said is correct.
Elysia has always been outside executing missions, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen her.” Seeing Furina’s affirmative reply, Clorinde also put away her guard.
After all, no matter how foolish Fufu was, he wouldn’t be so confused as to not know whether he had a familiar or not.
“Apologies, Lady Elysia.
It was presumptuous of me.” “It’s alright, oh!
But Clorinde, don’t keep such a cold face all the time.
Pretty girls should smile more to look even cuter♪” Elysia said with a beaming smile.
“Apologies, Lord Furina, Lady Elysia.
I have other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first…” Without waiting for the two to reply, Clorinde left.
He needed to tell Neuvillette about this.
If Elysia truly was the Hydro Archon’s familiar, it was not something someone of his status could handle.
Watching Clorinde run off into the distance, Furina couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Here it goes again…” “Eh, what’s going on again?” Elysia asked in puzzlement.
“Can you not be so overly familiar?” “Why is that?
Elysia feels like they didn’t dislike it at all.
Could Lord Furina be jealous, oh♪” “Yeah, they didn’t dislike it—they were scared away by you.” “Spouting weird nonsense all day long, who would be jealous of a guy like you!” Furina said loudly, looking full of momentum.
If one ignored Furina’s blushing ears, it might have been a bit more convincing.
“Alright, alright♪ My Goddess, can we go inside and rest quickly♪” Elysia didn’t refute.
When dealing with a tsundere, it was best to just go along with them.
Hearing this, Furina didn’t say much else.
With a humph, he opened the bedroom door.
The room was very large, but the interior decorations weren’t many.
Aside from a bed, a sofa was placed in the middle of the living room, and opposite the sofa stood a huge floor-length mirror.
This should be the mirror Furina and Focalors used to converse.
The side of the room facing the Court of Fontaine was a circle of specially made glass curtain walls, allowing one to see outside from the inside, but preventing anyone outside from seeing in.
Elysia excitedly ran up to the glass curtain wall, looking at the Court of Fontaine outside the window.
The real-world Court of Fontaine was far more magnificent than in the game.
Even though it was already night, the Court of Fontaine outside remained brightly lit.
Fontaine’s citizens were shuttling back and forth along the crisscrossing roads.
Looking from afar, an aquabus could be faintly seen traveling slowly toward the city in the air.
Elysia pressed against the curtain wall, gazing at the bustling and lively Court of Fontaine before her.
Suddenly, she understood why Focalors and Furina were willing to sacrifice so much—it was all for these myriad lights of thousands of homes.
Just like the predecessors of her motherland on Blue Star in her past life, striving for the country and the people no matter how great the cost, even if the price was their own lives.
This made Elysia recall a saying from her past life.
“When crisis strikes, there is only responsibility!” ‘Indeed, with ability, standing at different heights to view the world brings different realizations.
When in adversity, cultivate one’s own moral character; when successful, bring benefits to all under heaven.
The words of our ancestors truly make sense.’ At this moment, Elysia no longer held the notion that saving Fontaine was solely for Furina and Focalors.
She wanted to protect Fontaine of her own free will; after all, she was now the Hydro Archon’s familiar, and in a sense, Fontaine’s citizens were also Elysia’s people.
However, saving Fontaine wouldn’t get in the way of Elysia and Fufu cuddling up together.
“Lord Furina, when are we going to bed to sleep♪” Furina stood behind Elysia, watching her facial expressions constantly change—first shock, then turning heavy, and finally returning to her usual smile.
But for some reason, Furina always felt that Elysia’s expression was a bit lewd.
Whatever, who knew what kind of nerve she was striking.
Furina was already used to Elysia’s rapid facial changes, so he shook his head and said: “You haven’t taken a bath yet.
Let me tell you, from now on, you are not allowed to touch my bed without taking a bath first, you hear me!” Furina stood with hands on hips, expression serious.
Elysia nodded in agreement; as long as they could sleep together, these trivial details didn’t matter.
However, Elysia immediately found herself in a bit of a dilemma, because apart from the clothes on her body, she didn’t have any other clothes.
Furina scratched his head and said in a helpless tone: “You’re such a troublesome fellow…
Fine, I’ll lend you mine first and take you to buy some clothes tomorrow.” With that, Furina took an unworn pair of pajamas from the wardrobe and handed them to Elysia.
After taking them, Elysia walked toward the bathroom to take a bath.
Elysia couldn’t wait to quickly wash her body.
She didn’t have any weird thoughts about her own body; after all, having inherited Elysia’s memories, she had no idea how many times she had seen it already.
However, after cleaning up, she ran into trouble again when putting on the clothes.
The clothes were too small; the two of them were about the same height, but their figures were worlds apart.
Elysia exerted all her might and spent a long time before finally squeezing into them.
Pushing open the door, Furina’s voice came over.
“How come you’re so slow, you guy.” “Can’t be helped, the clothes were too small, so it wasted a bit of time.” Furina turned his head to look at Elysia and found that it was indeed as she said.
The clothes across her chest were stretched very tight, and the buttons looked as if they might pop off at any moment.
It was a good thing the clothes were of good quality, otherwise she really wouldn’t have been able to put them on.
Furina looked at Elysia’s chest, then lowered his head to look at his own toes, and said in a low tone: “Elysia, you’re too fat…”
