-Third Person POV-

The soft sound of rainfall as Navier walked with Heinrey, holding an umbrella over them "Kosair's gained a stellar reputation after he drove out the Springwater Bandits. It's like everyone's waiting for him to return, so they can ask him to marry them. Is Kosair uninterested in marriage?" Heinrey asked with a soft smile, pulling Navier close to his side, squeezing her shoulder 'We could have just used separate umbrellas.' Navier thought, looking to the side before looking up at Heinrey "My brother isn't interested in anything besides swords and fighting." Navier said with a nervous look as Heinrey smiled at her "I'm always amazed by how different you, him, and Angelica are despite being sisters and brother." Heinrey said making Navier sigh, blushing a bit 'You and your older brother had different personalities, too. He'd jump at the opportunity to tease me again if I said that to him.' Navier thought "Is there anything you want for your birthday?" Navier asked, making Heinrey think for a moment "Hmm. I don't want a gift, but there is something I'd like to try." Heinrey said as Navier dead-panned at this 'He's going to ask for something indecent again.' Navier thought not looking up at him as Heinrey looked down at her with a smile "I want to bathe with you for my birthday." He whispered into Navier's ear as she shook her head, sweat-dropping 'I knew it.' She thought "I'll think about it." Navier said, making Heinrey laugh a little, "If that's too much of an ask, then let's spend the whole day together. Just the two of us, without even the servants around." Heinrey said in a joyous tone as Navier just sighed.

"Fine. But anyway, why do you want to bathe with me?" Navier asked, "I like you nice and dry, but I think you'd also look great wet." Heinrey said with a big smile on his face as Navier looked at him unamused "How perverted." Navier said before tilting her head away "But now that you mention it...You looked great when you were soaking wet." Navier said as she just walked away, leaving Heinrey standing there, surprised and stunned at what she said, after a while Navier walked back into the Palace going to her office as she sat down, Merlaney stood in front of her desk "I was the one who copied the report, Your Majesty." Merlaney said, looking at Navier as she sat down in her chair "But why? I didn't expect that from you." Navier said, looking up at Merlaney making her blush in embarrassment, looking down from Navier's gaze "I was angry. My father found out what we were doing and gave Yuan some information that he kept from me." Merlaney said, "How strange." Navier commented "I'm sorry. I disappointed you." Merlaney said as Navier shook her head "No, it's not that. Your reports were full of obvious errors. However, if that's the result of your father's interference, then that means he gave Yuan false information on purpose." Navier said surprising Merlaney "He did? But why would he do that...?" Merlaney muttered in surprise hearing it as Navier shrugged shaking her head "We'll have to wait  and see what Marquess Amares real intentions were. Anyway, the only thing I can do is set the stage for you. You must use your talents and shind on your own." Navier said making Merlaney blush in amazment and look at her shocked "You're not disappointed in me?" Merlaney asked as Navier shook her head "I am, but I'm not going to break our allience over something like this. Don't let your emotions sabotoge any future endeverous, Miss Merlaney." Navier said making Merlaney look at her in awe as she nodded, while Navier gave her a soft smile.
