Yes, Lady Funina!

At the same time, Charlotte's eyes unconsciously fell on Fernina's left hand. After all, the matter about the ring had caused a lot of controversy recently.

As a journalist, Charlotte had naturally heard of this, but knowing the inside story, she obviously would not believe that Funina really became Mrs. Funina.

Charlotte is an aspiring journalist and naturally would not report false news to attract attention. She came here today not to interview Funina about the ring, but for other purposes.

Fernina noticed Charlotte's gaze and unconsciously retracted her left hand. Thinking of the scene just now, her face became a little hot. She was worried that Charlotte would notice it, so Fernina fanned herself gently with her hand and said to Clorinde:

"Claude, please open the window."

Clorinde looked at the open window, her brain overloaded for a moment. Why did Funina always mention things she couldn't do?

Furninna ignored Clorinde's resentful look. She looked at Charlotte and asked, "Did you come to see me this time because of the ring?"

As she spoke, Funina gestured with her left hand.

To Funina's surprise, Charlotte shook her head and said, "No, I'm here for another matter. Of course, if Lady Funina is willing to tell me the origin of this ring, I will be happy to help you report it truthfully, which can also be regarded as clarifying some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Something else?" Funina was puzzled. Could there be something more important than her marriage and more attractive to reporters?

"Yes, the Fontaine Academy of Sciences will conduct an open experiment in the near future. Although it is open to the public, only a few people within the Fontaine Academy of Sciences and some senior government officials can receive invitations."

"So since you didn't receive an invitation letter, you're targeting us?" Richard took over her conversation.

"Hehe, that's right!" Charlotte admitted without hesitation.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Charlotte, but we haven't received any invitation letter from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. We obviously can't help with this matter." Funina shook her head regretfully.

"G? Is Fontaine Scientific Research Institute so slow?" Charlotte was stunned.

Then there was a knock on the door. Clorinde, who was struggling to figure out how to open an open window, was finally saved. She walked out the door and talked to someone outside for a while, then returned to the office with something resembling a letter in her hand.

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at her, Clorinde raised her hand holding the letter and said, "Invitation letter from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences."

Richard and Fernina withdrew their gazes and looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte was obviously very happy as well, and she looked at Richard expectantly.

Obviously she knew very well who was the real decision maker here.

"I can agree to that, Miss Charlotte, but you also have to answer a question for me."

"Excuse me, Mr. Richard."

"Why are you interested in an experiment? Obviously, the ring on Fu Nina's ring finger is the hot topic right now. As a reporter, aren't you curious at all?"

"My intuition tells me that this experiment is definitely not simple. It symbolizes one of the future ways out for Fontaine under the doomsday prophecy. If it succeeds, it will open up a new era. Even if it fails, it will be worth remembering by future generations." Charlotte's eyes seemed to be glowing.

"And the ring on Lady Funina's hand should be given by you, Mr. Richard, right? It should not have the meaning that outsiders think. It should be a pure gift. If it really has a symbolic meaning, it should be friendship, right?"

"After all, it can be seen that Lady Funina and Mr. Richard have a very good relationship." Charlotte sighed. Such a harmonious scene between the monarch and his subjects is rare in Momang Palace.

According to past experience, the relationship between the Executive Secretary General and the Minister often ends up being in chaos, and they are natural enemies.

People like Richard and Funina are rare in Fontaine's history.

In fact, there are examples of the Executive Secretary-General and the Minister getting along well with each other, but most of them are because one of them is far more capable than the other, and one can firmly suppress the other. Only in this way can a peaceful picture be presented.

Charlotte felt that Richard and Finnina were obviously not among them, so she thought that Richard and Finnina were the model of respect between a monarch and his subjects.

Fortunately, Fernina didn't have the ability to read minds and didn't know what Charlotte was thinking, otherwise she would definitely raise objections.

Uh... maybe not? After all, wouldn't that be admitting that she was far inferior to Richard?

"I prefer to report some real and valuable news rather than report false content to attract attention."

"Besides, Lady Finina, the popularity of your ring is actually not that high anymore. A mysterious force has already begun to suppress the popularity of this matter, and the Steambird Newspaper has not taken any action."

"I think soon no one in Fontaine will care about the ring on your hand. When that time comes, we can publish a report about your ring to clarify the matter. I think the storm will soon pass." Charlotte analyzed for Funina from a professional perspective.

"A mysterious power?" Furniture wondered.

"Well... I have to ask Mr. Richard." Charlotte obviously knew something.

"They are just some insignificant connections." Richard smiled as he met Furninna's gaze.

It was then that Funina realized that Linnet didn't seem to come to work today...

PS: PY wrote "Starry Sky Railway, did my simulation come true?" (The introduction is not included in the word count)

Introduction: Luo Feng traveled to the world of Star Dome Railway and awakened the simulator system. As long as he completed the simulation, he could extract rewards from the simulator.

[Your home planet was blessed with abundance, but because you couldn't control the power of the blessing, the planet was destroyed.]

[Xianzhou Luofu Jianshou Jingliu saved you and accepted you as his disciple, hoping that you could cultivate the sword heart to suppress your abundance curse.]

[You have integrated into the Immortal Boat and become a part of Luofu, Jing Yuan's junior brother.]

[You asked Jingliu why he wanted me to practice swordsmanship. Looking at the master's long speech, you didn't understand. Swordsmanship is obviously born for killing. Why should I be trapped by fame and wealth, and stop for loyalty and friendship? ]

[You were possessed by Sui Yang, and said in front of Jing Liu that you wanted to be Yang Guo. ]

[You joined the Star Core Hunters and became a member of Kafka's team. ]

[You were born in Beloberg and became a guard officer of the Silvermane Iron Guard before Jeppard.]

Until one day, you heard the news from the stars.

"No...Isn't this a simulator? How did it become real?"

He looked at Jingliu who was trapped in the devil's body because he died in front of him, and then looked at Kafka who activated the Word Spirit and Cocolia who condensed the ice spear.

I was sweating all over. Really sweating all over!

Portal "Star Dome Railway, did my simulation come true?" (cut)

Volume 72: Chapter Furninna: Can you keep a secret?

The situation subsequently developed just as Charlotte had expected. After only two or three days, the people of Fontaine no longer discussed the ring on Funina's hand.

In addition, Funina also cooperated with the Steambird newspaper to do an exclusive interview, and the matter of the ring was easily revealed. Even if Funina wore the ring when going out in the street in the future, no one would probably care, and would just think it was part of Funina's daily dress, just like her hat.

In exchange, Funina agreed to Charlotte's request and allowed her to go with her to the Fontaine Academy of Sciences to watch the "launch experiment".

In fact, Fontaine Academy of Sciences did send an invitation letter to Steambird Newspaper, but it should be noted that invitation letters are also divided into levels.

An invitation letter sent to a high-ranking government official like Funina Richard would naturally have much greater authority than an invitation letter sent to the Steambird newspaper, and would have access to more confidential matters that ordinary people could not.

Some people may ask, if it is a confidential matter, how can it be seen by reporters?

Haha, since you can see it, it means it is not confidential. The so-called confidentiality is just an excuse to reduce unnecessary trouble. The really key things will definitely not be shown to you.

It can be said that any information that can be accessed through normal means will not be confidential.

Normally, Funina would not personally participate in such ceremonies, but Charlotte's words aroused her interest. One of the ways out for Fontaine in the face of the doomsday prophecy was such a great attraction to Funina.

For a hundred years, she has been committed to getting rid of the shadow of the doomsday prophecy. If this experiment can succeed, it will be the best news she has heard in the past hundred years.

By that time, maybe she could relax a little and take off some of her masks.

However, perhaps because she had experienced too many disappointments, Funina did not have high expectations for this experiment.

——Failure is the main theme of life.

"Is the rumor over?" Funina looked at today's Steambird newspaper, then went to the window and found that the reporters who had been blocking the Momang Palace a few days ago were nowhere to be seen.

It's just like Charlotte said, it's just a temporary fad.

"Is it possible that this is not a big deal, and you are just making things complicated? Furniture, you should try to trust people you can trust." Richard said from the side.

"It's definitely not you." Funina replied casually.

Besides, the matter was not complicated in the first place. It was you who wanted to complicate it.

Fernina finally came to her senses. She was harmed by Richard's alarmist remarks that day, saying that if she wore a wedding ring, the people of Fontaine would question her identity as a god.

The reason is that no gods have ever been married before.

It's so funny. Before her, there has never been a god who starred in a musical and became a big star!

"Alas, what on earth have I done to make you distrust me so much?" Richard sighed.

Furninna looked at Richard's handsome face and thought that this guy was really shameless. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"In fact, I have always been on your side."

"Haha, did you learn this from Clorinde?" Funina laughed.

"Honestly, are you really not going to reveal something to your most loyal permanent secretary?"

"My most loyal executive secretary will not ask me for information that I don't want to disclose all day long." Furninna closed the newspaper in her hand, sat back in her seat, and looked at Richard with her fingers crossed.

"Only by knowing enough intelligence can your permanent secretary help you better." Richard said that intelligence is an important part of winning.

Behavior such as that of Furninna, which conceals the truth, is likely to lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary losses.

This is clearly disloyal.

"Even if I tell you, can you keep it a secret?" asked Funina.

"Of course. Don't you have even that much confidence in me?"

"Great, so can I."

Richard was speechless. Seeing Richard's deflated look, Furninna teased him and repeated back what Richard had just said to her.

"Why, don't you have even this little confidence in me?"

"Of course there is, Lady Funina." Richard didn't have a good way to deal with such gossip.

I can only sigh that Funina is gifted and she quickly understood the principle of giving people a taste of their own medicine.

"In that case, are you still asking?" Finina looked at Richard playfully, enjoying the rare moment of victory.

"Lady Funina..."

“Haha, you still haven’t given up?” Finina’s tone became strange. She said, “Well, since you are so persistent, I, the Water God, will show you a way out.”

"As long as you can prove to me that you can keep a secret forever, I can tell you...about me." Finina's eyes flickered at the end.

There seemed to be very complicated emotions involved. She rationally thought that Richard couldn't do it because no one could keep a secret forever.

But emotionally, she hoped that Richard could do it. Performing for a long time had exhausted her. If there was someone who could share her burden... no, even just a listener would be enough to give her a moment of respite.

And for Funina, this moment of respite was as precious as a handful of clear spring water for a person suffering from hunger and thirst in the desert.

Richard looked thoughtful after hearing this. Seeing this, Furninna couldn't help but smile and said, "You're not really thinking about the possibility of success, are you?"

"No one can keep a secret forever, not even you, Mr. Richard."

It seemed as if Furninna was talking to Richard, but also to herself.

……

"So Lady Funina still refuses to tell you the news?" Linnet asked elegantly while holding a cup of tea.

"Yes, it seems that the secret is indeed very important, although I have already guessed some of it." Richard felt that he was close to the truth of the matter, at least part of the truth.

"Keeping it a secret... Richard, how do you usually keep it a secret?" Linnet asked curiously.

"It depends on the importance of the intelligence." Richard thought for a moment and replied.

"What if it's information that's extremely important and can't be shared with anyone else?"

"Then I won't let anyone know."

"What if someone finds out?"

Linnet seemed to be arguing with Richard and continued to ask questions, which was rare.

Richard paused and answered Linnett's question in a different way: "Linnett, there is still someone in this world who can keep a secret for you forever."

"who?"

"dead."

Linnett was obviously not surprised by this answer. Instead, she said thoughtfully, "Then how are you going to get Funina to tell you the secret? Pretend to be dead?"

Richard glanced at Linnett unhappily. He felt that the girl liked teasing him more and more after they got to know each other better.

But it’s better this way, it’s better than not trusting everyone when we first met.

It is difficult for people who have experienced betrayal to trust others again. This is the case with the siblings Linnit and Linnit. To some extent, Linnit's teasing actually means the other party's trust.

For the little kitten, if she doesn't like something, she won't even say a word.

"Of course I have my own way. Linnet, you should know that the so-called confidentiality is actually a contract, and there is actually a god of contract on the current continent of Teyvat."

"Are you talking about Liyue's Rock King?" Linnet's beautiful eyes were a little surprised. "But if we ask K to help, it would be very troublesome, right? I heard that K Liyue has not appeared often in recent years."
