Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

9.

Karin White's death was not innocent.

When Navilette heard such news from the strange voice, he understood this.

In the subsequent development, Kaya occasionally used Karin's incident as an excuse to prove her determination.

Villette knew it was false.

But he just followed Kaya's words and expressed his apparent agreement.

——Perhaps it’s because Kaya hasn’t shown any danger yet?

Villette thought, otherwise he should have used some harmless means to get the answer to the question.

But I don't know why...

He didn't ask.

Carefully searching the thoughts deep in his heart, he discovered a strange reluctance.

It was as if once the truth about this matter was known, the whitewashed peace would be completely shattered, but he didn't want to.

That kind of reluctance was too light, but it took root invisibly.

...At least Kaya just doesn't love her sister as much as she shows, which is not a big deal.

Moreover, she is willing to actively investigate the case of the missing girl, which is enough to prove her character. As for emotional conflicts... As long as you are a human being, there may be nothing you can do about it.

He thought so.

But he soon found out he was wrong.

10.

The traveler who was famous in the four countries came to Fontaine.

By chance, she began to investigate the serial disappearance of young girls.

Villette noticed that Kaya began to become flustered and anxious.

He even occasionally heard her unconscious murmuring: "I, I'm so scared..."

Villette comforted her, but she was caught off guard and learned the truth from the voice.

She is not the culprit in the serial disappearance of girls, but... regarding the death of Carlene White, she is.

She just used some tricks to blame the case on the culprit of the serial disappearance of girls.

But she didn't expect that there was such a thing as fetal seawater.

Villette's pupils trembled slightly, and the eyes he looked at her were full of disbelief.

But Kaya was so caught up in her own panic that she didn't notice.

Villette thought silently:

He is the highest judge of Fontaine, and he is the one who needs to uphold justice the most. He should get the evidence and announce the truth about Karin's death. This is what he should do.

But seeing Kaya's pained and panicked expression, he remained silent for a long time and finally spoke: "The security team will protect you, don't be afraid. When the matter is solved, it will be regarded as a major matter that has been backlogged for many years."

Kaya, no, Nanyang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.

Her eyes were complex and affectionate, with pain and deep reluctance. Villette thought to herself that she must not have noticed how strange her expression was, and how much of her heart was exposed.

But he didn't say it.

Because he didn't want to look into something in detail, he pretended not to know.

- This is not a good sign.

He thought to himself again, this was not a good sign.

Villette said nothing.

I don't know if his silence gave Nan Yang the illusion of being flustered, but then he heard the voice say again:

[Your mood has dropped to a dangerous level! 】

This reminder was very sharp, ringing three times, which made people's heads spin.

A ridiculous idea suddenly emerged in Villette's mind——

If, if no one thought Carlene White's death was an accident, if no one mentioned it...

No.

So, Villette, you shouldn't have close personal relationships with people.

--he thinks.

11.

The murderer of the serial disappearance of young girls has finally been caught. He is Marcelle, the owner of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce, whose original name is Vachet.

The matter finally came to an end, and Navilette read out the results of the oracle and the cardinal's verdict, declaring Vachet guilty.

But at this moment, Kaya's mother, Lola, stood up.

Villette paused slightly, knowing that something was coming. He glanced at Nan Yang who suddenly had a blank expression in the audience.

Villette, you are the supreme judge, and you should make the most fair judgment.

Amid the uproar, Nanyang finally admitted her crime.

She killed someone.

After calmly explaining what he had done, Nanyang seemed to have lost the strength and just looked at him with a self-deprecating look and asked: "I deliberately killed people, is this the death penalty?"

Villette saw the undisguised despair and decadence in her eyes.

She was as fragile as a pale paper butterfly, unable to fly as long as it got wet.

Fontaine's execution should only exist in legend.

Even someone as vicious as Vashe, who had more lives on his hands, was not sentenced to death, but was simply found guilty.

But Nanyang is different.

She is the secretary.

During her time in office, she promoted and proposed tougher laws for public officials as a code of conduct.

As a public official, she is not an ordinary public official. She is a secretary only under the Supreme Judge and the Water God. She is an indispensable existence for a country. If she makes a mistake, it will inevitably bring worse consequences.

So she simply asked for the death penalty herself.

In fact, there is no need to use it.

Navilette looked at the oracle and ruled that the cardinal gave the result - guilty.

If she kills a person, as long as she goes to Merlot Petersburg to serve her sentence, there is always the possibility of being released after serving her sentence.

But once you choose to die, you will have no chance.

And that voice has already reminded me.

Nanyang has no chance.

He closed his eyes, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions. He felt timid for the first time and was a little reluctant to read the result.

But what needs to be done must be done.

Villette, you are the supreme judge of Fontaine. You must judge every trial fairly and impartially. You must perform your duties. You must do this.

12.

Finally, he went to see Nanyang.

In Kaya's cell, he finally heard some long-standing stories from her mouth.

Not relying on that voice, but through her mouth, she said it herself.

He knew that she had concealed many difficult details. He wanted to hug her, to let her understand that there are many beautiful things in the world, and to tell her that there was no need to pay for the mistakes she had made. After all, her crimes were not enough. Sentenced to death.

But it seems a bit late.

She committed suicide and died the day after he went to see her.

He never understood why she insisted on dying.

Until one day, when he looked through Kaya's relics again and turned to the yellowed storybook, in the pattering rain, his mind moved slightly, and he somehow remembered that sentence.

——The "admiration" she said half-truth and half-falsely in a teasing tone.

That's so.

Because she cared about him, she knew she couldn't face him after something like that was revealed.

In addition, she knew that as a public official, she should not set such an example, so she simply used her "death penalty" to frighten other public officials, allowing them to foresee the consequences of violating the law, and at the same time deepened the reputation of Momang Palace among the people of Fontaine. The image of justice in the heart.

...That's how it is.

If he followed his heart, he would really like to forgive her sins, but he can't.

They agreed to meet next time, but Navilette knew that there would be no next time for her.

Goodbye, Nanyang.

No, maybe like she said, they won't see each other again.

13.

"Na Villette, Na Villette!"

His cheek was pinched several times, and a familiar voice rang in his ears, "It's strange, are you so tired from work recently? It's rare that you overslept!"

Villette opened her eyes.

Nanyang, who was still squeezing his face with one hand, looked guilty at the moment she met his gaze, and she retracted her hand a little sarcastically.

"Oh, you're awake."

She wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but she gradually became more confident: "I see you've been sleeping. I, I'm just curious, so what if I pinch your face secretly?"

Villette looked at her but remained silent.

Nanyang felt a little guilty again: "Why, why are you looking at me like that? I really just--"

"It's ok."

He smiled slightly, took her hand and put it on his face, "Squeeze it if you want, it's okay."

Nan Yang was keenly aware of something and asked hesitantly: "Um... are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he said.

"But it's raining hard outside the window."

"I just had a nightmare. The dream was so profound that I couldn't calm down for a while."

"Really?" Nan Yang was confused, "What kind of nightmare? It's actually so powerful."

He sighed, finally followed his heart and hugged her, saying, "Really."

He did not answer the topic about nightmares. He was silent for a moment and only said:

"It's really great to meet you again."
