Yes, Lady Funina!

“If that’s all, the ring Richard gave you should be enough, right?” Clarind pointed to the ring on Frynn’s hand.

With this ring, self-protection is guaranteed, and with Richard's protection on a physical level, the future will certainly be free from illness and disaster.

Furthermore, due to the nature of their 'immortal' authority, in a sense, they have already obtained the longevity that many people dream of. As long as Richard is alive, they will not suffer from birth, aging, sickness, and death.

However, there is a price to pay: once you accept this power, you will no longer be able to naturally produce offspring.

However, with some special methods, it is still possible to have offspring, but neither Richard nor Clarinde have any plans to do so at the moment.

If we really have to say who is most eager for this, it should be Ningguang. If she has a child who can inherit the Jade Pavilion, she can move directly to Fontaine.

“A ring is a ring, but what if one day you can’t count on it anymore?” Funina retorted.

Clarin looked at Frynn in shock, and tentatively asked:

"Did you have a fight with Richard?"

"No, you're overthinking it. How could I possibly argue with him?" As soon as Furlinde saw her expression, she knew what the other woman was thinking.

“I have a very good relationship with him. What I’m thinking is that if, in a certain situation, this ring doesn’t work and I have to rely on my own physical strength to get through it, given my current situation, should I start exercising?” Funina asked.

After listening to Frynn's words, Clarind seemed to understand something.

The cold beauty comforted him in a tone of someone who had been through it all, saying, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Richard is usually quite sensible and won't go too far. No matter how much you train now, you still won't be able to handle it when the time comes."

“?” Furina slowly typed a question mark, completely baffled as to what Clorind was talking about.

She was just a little anxious about her own strength. After all, she was a god, and it would be ridiculous for her to be powerless. But what was Clarind saying?

What does it mean that Richard is mostly aware of his actions and won't go too far?

"Deceive? Isn't it because of Richard?" Clarin asked in surprise when she saw Frynn's confused look.

“What does this have to do with Richard? You mean… huh?” Furina was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something and immediately understood what Clarinde had meant.

You can see that Funina's fair face suddenly turned from white to red, and before the training even started, some steam was already rising from her head.

"Ahem, I misunderstood." Clorind decided to change the subject.

"How about we start training first?"

Just when Clorinde thought the topic was over, Furina suddenly grabbed Clorinde's sleeve.

"Lady Furina?" Clorind asked, puzzled.

But then she saw that Funina, who had already become a steampunk princess, was biting her lip, looking somewhat conflicted, but soon seemed to have made up her mind.

“Don’t call me ‘sir,’ Clarind…can you tell me more about…about…”

"Information about Richard?" Seeing that Frynn hadn't finished speaking, Clarinde simply said it for her.

“Yes, intelligence.” Funina nodded, thinking that whoever invented the word “intelligence” was a genius.

"Let's not talk here, let's go upstairs." Furna, afraid that someone might overhear, pulled Clarinde out of the office, took the elevator back to the Water God's Palace on the top floor of the Mo Mang Palace, and led her to the dance studio.

That wasn't all. Furina then brought out paper and pens, as well as a small blackboard for Clorind to write on, making the teaching more effective by combining pictures and text.

Clorind had mentioned this before, but she and Lynette were still young then, and she spoke of it rather vaguely.

It only explains the most basic principles and does not go into deeper discussion.

With only the two of them present, a secret known only to them, this was a golden opportunity. Furthermore, Funina's sense of crisis had been growing recently, which prompted her to humbly ask for advice.

If you've already taken on a martial arts master, it's perfectly normal to take on a physiology teacher as well, right?

Clarin never imagined that she would one day go from being a secretary to a sex education teacher. Judging from Funina's attitude, it seems that she is not just a sex education teacher, but may also become an emotional mentor.

"Professor Clorinde, please go ahead," Furina said earnestly to Clorinde, wearing non-prescription glasses and looking every bit the model student.

No, your serious tone makes it hard for me to speak.

Seeing how serious Frynn was, Clarind felt a sense of magical realism absurdity about what she was about to say.

"Lady Frinna, you don't need to be so serious. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to perform well," Clarinde said with some difficulty.

"Deceive? Is that so?" Funina thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

If someone is dressed in a suit and tie, looking like they work in some high-end industry, and their first question to you is, "Hey buddy, wanna watch some movies?"

This sense of disconnect is indeed hard to bear. Funina took off her decorative non-prescription glasses and asked:

"how about this?"

“Actually, it could be a bit more casual.” Clarind gestured for Frynn to go back and change her clothes.

After all, it's not very atmospheric to talk about these things while Fu Ningna is wearing the clothes she usually wears to work. It would be better if she changed into casual clothes, like having a pajama party.

In this kind of atmosphere, she can better impart her experience of so many days to Funina.

In fact, Claude felt that these so-called experiences were virtual and far less direct than firsthand practice.

Once you've tried it once, you'll understand everything. You won't need anyone to teach you. When the time comes, you'll naturally know what to do and what posture will make you feel comfortable.

Yes, these are all based on Clarinde's experience.

Instead of having her teach these things, it would be better to have Richard do it, teaching and practicing at the same time, which would definitely work.

Unfortunately, it seems that Funina is not ready yet, otherwise she would have already made her move.

After watching Furina return in her pajamas, Clarinde suddenly had an idea...

Chapter 269 Funina: It's only called a routine because it works.

When Clorind came up with a clever little trick, Funina was already completely absorbed in the scene Clorind had described.

Although Fontaine has a developed film and television industry, most of the content is legitimate and can be broadcast in public. As for those that cannot be broadcast, they are all subject to strict crackdown by the Fontaine authorities.

In addition, video streaming is quite troublesome, so there has been almost no development in this area.

Even in Grey River, very few people sell related videos; the old methods are still prevalent—lower-cost photo shoots and related services.

This has resulted in the vast majority of teenagers in Fontainebleau still having a poor understanding of sex education, having only seen related knowledge in books.

Furthermore, even the descriptions in the book are extremely obscure. Those with relevant experience find the descriptions vivid and lifelike, while those without relevant experience find them obscure and abstract.

Fulina belongs to the latter category. For five hundred years, she worked day and night, barely getting any sleep. How could you expect her to have any research in this area?

It was only after meeting Clorind that Furina gradually gained a clearer understanding of these things.

The private conversation we just had was more like a summary and generalization of all the previous knowledge, with a side note on examining actual cases.

One is in the form of a drawing.

It must be said that Clarinde does have some talent for drawing. Even her simple sketches are surprisingly vivid and lifelike, making people's hearts race and their faces flush.

It's hard to imagine what the other person went through to have such a detailed understanding of the relevant positions.

It's like looking in a mirror.

"That's about all there is to it, but to be honest, all that knowledge we have now isn't really that useful," Clarinde said, always speaking her mind.

When that time really comes, a naive girl like Funina will have been completely taken advantage of by Richard and won't be able to remember what she learned today. She will be led by the nose by Richard.

"Why do you say that?" Funina found many of the tips Clorind had mentioned very useful. Just listening to them made a lot of sense, and they seemed to be based on experience.

"What did it feel like when you kissed for the first time?" Clarind didn't answer Frinna's question directly, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Why did you suddenly ask this... My mind went blank at the time, and I felt nothing but nervousness."

After their more private conversation, Funina's threshold for shyness had clearly increased, and she no longer showed much resistance when discussing things like kissing with Clarind.

So after only a moment's hesitation, he readily answered Clarinde's question.

“Yes, so when that time comes, you’ll probably feel the same way,” Clarind said to Funina, speaking with the air of someone who’d been there before.

That was all Clarinde had to say. After all, she was in a similar situation to Funina back then, but the one thing she did better than Funina was that she wasn't as naive.

After all, as a duel agent who frequently collaborates with the Guard and the Shadow Court, he has some understanding of this area.

There are quite a few married people in the guard unit and the Shadow Court. The men are alright, at least they are quite well behaved in front of Clarinde, but the female members, perhaps because they are of the same sex, can be quite risqué when they make jokes.

Especially since Clarinde is not young anymore, although she seems cold, once you get to know her, you'll find that she's actually a warm-hearted person despite her cold exterior.

Once you get to know each other well, you'll naturally start telling some dirty jokes.

It's fair to say that Claude knew a great deal about those things even before she met Richard.

However, unlike those married women, Richard was a bit too forceful and didn't encounter any problems with unsatisfied desires.

At that time, Clarinde not only had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but also a smattering of advanced knowledge. But was it useful?

My mind was still blank, like a puppet on a string, and time just passed by in a daze.

“Instead of that, I think you should think about how to win over Richard,” Clarinde said sincerely.

"That's easy!" Funina didn't think it was difficult at all.

It's just a matter of taking down Richard, right? She only needs to make a slight move, and she doesn't believe Richard can hold his own.

Seeing how confident Frynn was, Clarinde suddenly didn't know whether she should bring up the plan she had originally come up with for Frynn.

Could it be that she actually has some kind of trick up her sleeve?

"Seeing you looking like you want to say something but can't, do you think I'm bragging?" When Furina saw that Chlorinde was just opening her mouth but not saying anything, she immediately raised her eyebrows and pointed her ahoge at Chlorinde.

"No, I'm just curious, what kind of method do you mean by..."

"Eat, watch a movie, and when it's almost time, it'll naturally be over."

Based on Funina's understanding of Richard, if they were alone together and there was no official business to attend to, just ten minutes of this and a little atmosphere would be enough for him to lose control.

These are all based on Funina's experience.

However, each time it was just a brief encounter, because most of the time Funina and Richard were alone together was in the office.

Even if Funina liked Richard a lot, it was impossible for their first meeting to be in the office, right?

Even if Richard wanted to, Funina wouldn't agree. Besides, Richard had never thought of it that way, nor had he ever pressured Funina on this matter.

"Oh, what a cliché process," Clarind couldn't help but blurt out.

"Old-fashioned? That's exactly right. A routine is a routine precisely because it's simple, easy to use, and always works. If you ask me, those who are always trying to come up with fancy tricks are putting the cart before the horse, aren't they?" Funina said.

Upstairs in the congressional office, Lynette, who was discussing work matters with Fukalos, suddenly sneezed.

After hearing what Frynn said, Clarinde actually felt that there was some truth to it.

You know what, this back-to-basics approach might actually be quite effective.

"You're right." Clorind agreed with Frynn's plan, feeling that it was indeed better than her own.

Clarinde originally planned to have Frynn ask Fúcarlos to lure Richard in and kill him. Even if it didn't work out in the end, at least there would be someone to fall back on.

But thinking about it carefully, Funina probably wouldn't be willing to lower herself to do that, and besides, it would be too embarrassing to ask Fucaros to do something like that.

It's as if Frynn is just a stand-in for Fucarus.

In fact, Fryna was the first to arrive, while Nafcaros was the one who came first.

Then they got overtaken on a curve...

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something very rude." Furina noticed that Clarinde was lost in thought and looked at her secretary with some suspicion.

After spending a lot of time together, even if Clorinde had a poker face, Furnessa could vaguely sense what the other was thinking.

And Clarinde's expression just now clearly showed that she was thinking of something happy.

Chapter 270 Finale

On Friday, after get off work, Richard received a date invitation from Funina for Sunday.

As for the content, it was watching a newly released movie. It is said that Fu Ningna was also involved in this movie, investing some money and helping to revise the script.

Basically, every week or two, Furness would ask Richard to go to the Opicclays Opera to see a musical, or they would go to see a newly released movie together.

Especially recently, due to the technological explosion of Sumeru, the film industry in Fontaine has been greatly affected.

Now, Funina can watch videos in her room using a small video player.

It is believed that this kind of home playback device will soon be found in thousands of households in Fontaine.

It was precisely because of the small video player that Funina had a reason to invite Richard to her home to watch a video.

It could even be her own room—it couldn't be more convenient. Technology truly changes lives.
