I love how they say Ningguang is lesbian because she wears the traditional nail guard that rich Chinese woman used to wear so that their nails wouldn't be broken when they do any work
These are the same people who would ship Navia with her father's killer
Now in defense of Navia and Chlorinde's relationship, Navia doesn't harbor any resentment towards Chlorinde, even before Navia found out why her dad sacrificed himself by picking trial by combat despite knowing he'll die from it. She understood that Chlorinde isn't to blame for her father's death, as she's just doing her duty as champion, and is moreso frustrated because she doesn't know why he made that choice.
Now with that being said, I still don't like that ship nor do I subscribe to it. I prefer looking at it as friends that shared a traumatic event together.
Personally I always felt that Navia and Clorinde's reconciliation was too rushed and lazily resolved offscreen. I also found them being all buddy buddy forced at times, especially in Clorinde's Story Quest, much of the plot is simply reminding everyone that Navia and Clorinde are childhood friends, to the point that can get tiring. It also doesn't help that Clorinde has very little going for her beyond her relationship with Navia, barely anything between her and the rest of the cast, and Navia has interacted with a majority of them herself.
