That was a long time ago.
When Navia was little, he had heard that his father had arranged a child marriage for him.
A few years ago, before his father passed away, he solemnly handed him half a gem, saying that the gem was a testament to the engagement.
The person holding the other half of the gem was his fiancé.
Time passed year by year.
The so-called fiancé never appeared, and Navia didn't care, gradually forgetting about the matter.
That half-gem was also tossed into the corner of a drawer by Navia.
Who would have thought!!
Today, years later, Navia had forgotten about the gem, and the other half of the gem actually appeared before him??
Could it be... this Mondstadter in front of him, who cursed Silver and Melus to die the first time they met, was the fiancé his father chose for him??
Thinking of this.
Navia's heart was a mix of emotions.
Helplessness, surprise, panic, confusion... his heart pounded... In all these years, it was the first time he had been so nervous.
Melus reminded him: "Demoiselle, would you like to rest??"
Navia regained his composure: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
Navia slightly raised his head and saw Ron standing in front of him again, his mood even more complex.
His first impression of Ron was not good.
But regarding his father's wishes, the engagement his father had set, he didn't want to go against it.
Suddenly!!
Navia seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ron, may I ask, are you the owner of this half-gem?? And why are you looking for the owner of the other half-gem??"
Because he was anxious, Navia blurted out all the questions.
Upon hearing this.
Ron slowly replied: "I am indeed the owner of this half-gem, as for why I'm looking for the owner of the other half-gem..."
"Well, there's no need to hide it from you."
"An elder in my family once arranged an engagement for me, and the gem is the token of that engagement. I came to Fontaine this time to find my fiancée."
To make it easier for Spina di Rosula to search.
Ron chose not to hide anything and directly stated everything he knew.
Hearing Ron's reply.
Navia's mood became even more complicated.
That's right!!
This outsider, who made such a bad impression and cursed Melus and Silver to die as soon as he appeared, was his nominal fiancé.
But, how could this be!!
His father was so smart and loved him so much, how could he betroth him to a strange Mondstadter??
Frivolous, talking nonsense, cursing Melus and Silver to die... Besides being somewhat good-looking, he couldn't see any other advantages... Something must be wrong.
Melus asked with concern: "Demoiselle, are you really alright?? Why don't you rest, I can handle the commission."
Navia took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Ron: "..."
[Something's not right, things are a bit strange!!]
[Just finding a person shouldn't be a difficult task for Spina di Rosula, so why does Sister Soybean have such a troubled expression??]
[Could it be that Spina di Rosula has really fallen to the point where they can't even handle finding people??]
...Navia's eyebrows furrowed slightly:
