After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 593 They were originally their adversaries.

Yu Xia returned to the base and took a nap. She slept until noon, and when it was time for lunch, she asked Bello to bring the twins to see her.

Bello placed the soup in front of her and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, the two guides have been taken away by Farrell."

Yu Xia paused in her soup-drinking motion, looked up at him, and asked, "What?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Bello knelt down before Yu Xia. "It was my dereliction of duty."

Yu Xia put down her cutlery, looked down at Bello with a slight frown.

Bello's kneeling wasn't just because she didn't think highly of the twins, but also because of the arena and the fact that she and Farrell wore the same clothes at the banquet last night.

As members of her lower-ranking royal family, he and Silver Fang, regardless of their motives, have overstepped their bounds and neglected their duties.

After these repeated transgressions, Bello knew he had to give His Highness an explanation.

“Your Highness, I was wrong. I will accept my punishment upon returning to the main star’s ocean.”

Yu Xia didn't speak, looked down at him for a while, then got up to go find Farrell to ask for the person.

"Your Highness!" Bello pulled her back. "Farrell won't take their lives."

Yu Xia slapped his hand away, "You handed them over to Farrell because you wanted them to die at his hands."

Bello stared at her with his mouth slightly open, but Yu Xia didn't wait for him to explain before turning and walking away.

Bello stepped forward again, grabbed her shoulders, and looked directly into her eyes.

But when he looked into those clear eyes, the words he wanted to explain stuck in his throat.

Yu Xia was not as angry and furious as he had imagined. Instead, she was unusually calm, so calm that all his reasons seemed untenable, tinged with a sense of guilt.

Bello had almost never felt this way, nor had he ever done anything out of line or disobey the upper royal family because of his own selfish desires.

But he didn't regret it. If he had been given the chance to meet Princess Potti earlier, he would have killed Metis Farrell without hesitation, killed everyone who posed a threat to her, and killed the twin brother and sister who might put the princess in danger.

“Your Highness is right.” Bello’s throat bobbed a few times, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. “I do hope those two guides are dead, so they won’t expose Your Highness’s identity. Your Highness despises them, doesn’t he?”

Yu Xia looked at him quietly. "What you said is right, and what you did is right, but you shouldn't make decisions for me. You should have asked me first."

"Whether I like them or hate them, my order to you is to keep an eye on them, not to let you do whatever you want with them."

Bello: "I know His Highness wants to keep them by his side and won't kill them, but I can't put His Highness in danger."

Yu Xia: "They are still useful to me, and I will keep an eye on them."

“Your Highness, they are Ivi from the Holy City!” Bello almost shouted. “You must understand, we cannot tolerate all Ivi.”

After speaking, Bello exhaled, his expression softened, and his voice became gentler. "Your Highness, Silver Fang and I are entrusted with a mission by the King. We cannot allow you to suffer any harm. Those two Ives must die." Yu Xia was silent for a long time before saying, "Have you considered that if you hand them over to Farrell, my identity might be exposed even faster?"

She gazed at Bello's gentle eyes and brows. In fact, upon closer inspection, Bello, like other sea creatures, had a habitually cold expression, but his eyes and brows softened when he was facing her.

His underlying personality is actually aloof and arrogant, and he carries the mindset typical of royalty.

"Your Highness, your identity..." Bello hesitated for a moment before speaking, but Yu Xia interrupted, "You think it doesn't matter whether my identity is exposed or not, because Farrell will settle accounts with me sooner or later. Why not hand the twins over to him? Whether the twins die in his hands or not, I will hate him even more, right?"

Seeing that Bello remained silent, Yu Xia continued, "If that's the case, why didn't you and Silver Fang stop me from wearing that outfit yesterday? Not telling me that Farrell and I were wearing the same clothes is tantamount to telling everyone at the banquet that I might be his future queen? Are you that afraid of Farrell?"

“I’m not afraid of him,” Bello said. “I am.”

Yu Xia interrupted him, her eyes clear and insightful, "You're not afraid of him, you want to incite conflict between Metis and Farrell, and now you want to incite conflict between me and Farrell."

Bello looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "Your Highness, you and they are inherently adversaries."

Yu Xia paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, but now is not the time for the sea creatures to fight over these things."

She looked at Bello and asked, "Do you know what my other half of my blood is?"

“His Highness said you are Ivi of the Holy City.” Bello paused, his tone reassuring, “Your Highness, rest assured, your royal bloodline is stronger than any other royal bloodline, even if it's Ivi, it doesn't matter.”

“You believe me,” Yu Xia said.

Bello nodded: "I believe you."

Yu Xia: "Besides that, have you thought about anything else? About my identity?"

Bello: "What does Your Highness wish to say?"

Yu Xia sighed, pushed his hand off her shoulder, and took a step back. "I don't really understand the intricacies of your royal family, but I believe that you and Silver Fang will steadfastly carry out the tasks Serius assigned you. However, even knowing and believing in my identity as Ivy, you still want to exploit this to completely pit me against Farrell and the others, giving me a reason to kill them. I don't understand why you would do this? What benefit would it bring you?"

Bello took a step forward, wanting to reach out and touch her, but after sensing her slight resistance, he lowered his hand. His gaze towards her contained complex emotions, as well as feelings that could not be concealed.

“I did all this for Your Highness.” Bello looked at her pleadingly. “Your Highness, I know that what I did was wrong to you, and I was indeed wrong, but Your Highness, I will not let anyone hurt you.”

“No.” Yu Xia took another step back. “You’re not doing this for me; you’re doing it for yourself.”

Bello was startled.

Yu Xia: "I don't really understand your and Silver Fang's purpose in doing this, but I know that the Sea Clan is in serious internal strife, and I also know that many people want to take the position of Serius. You told me that you are also royalty, and in terms of blood purity, you and Silver Fang are even higher than me."

If it were anyone else doing this, she wouldn't have said so much. Bello was sent to her by Celius, so he could be considered her subordinate.

She gained everything that royal blood brought her, but she also had to give something in return. Bello was now hers, and she had to take responsibility for whatever he did. At the same time, she needed to understand him and the motives behind his actions.

Including Silver Fang, the two of them must have reached some kind of consensus.
