Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Fontaine.

Fontainebleau.

Momang Palace.

That Villette, Arlecchino...

Familiar places, familiar routines, unfamiliar people.

The person in front of him gave Villette an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

It seems like this has happened before.

"Mr. Villette, I am Alechino, the diplomat of the Winter Solstice to Fontaine. I am also the current Fatui executive officer [servant]. This should be our first official meeting."

Alechino sat upright on the sofa, holding a teacup in one hand, and spoke leisurely.

"I am honored that you are willing to give us the Fatui another chance. As the successor, I apologize for the actions of my predecessor and deeply regret the damage that Kugavina's actions have caused to the friendship between the two nations of Winter and Fontaine."

"If possible, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to assure Lord Water God that I will actively promote the restoration of friendship between the two countries of Dongdong and Fontaine."

Alechino spoke sincerely and with a good attitude.

It was her posture that instantly reminded Villette of that woman.

Kugavina, the culprit behind the vicious massacre of children in [House of Hearth]!

That year, Kugavina also spoke in an official tone and said some insignificant words, then moved into Fontaine, established the [Heartland House], adopted many children, and then the horrific case that shocked Fontaine happened.

All the children in a welfare institution died!

This incident caused a huge wave in Fontaine.

So, the reform of the Fontaine Welfare Institution, which was ostensibly to rectify welfare institutions and prevent the "Heartland House" tragedy from happening again, and secretly to clean up spies from other countries, began.

People saw that the Fontaine government rectified many welfare institutions and removed a number of officials involved in the case, and the Fontaine welfare system has become better.

But Villette found a large number of spies from all classes in Fontaine, among whom Zhidong was the most numerous.

So, Villette tried these spies according to the laws of Fontaine and imprisoned them all in Mero Petersburg, never to be released!

And now, this Alechino in front of him and that Kugavina are so similar!

Alarm bells immediately rang in Villette's heart. He sat up straight, staring at Arlecchino with a serious expression.

"As the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, I naturally welcome the restoration of friendship between our two countries. But I have a question I would like to ask Ms. Alecino."

That Villette spoke solemnly.

"Please ask, but you can always ask. I'll try to be honest."

Alechino gestured for Navelette to continue, but her words indicated that she would not necessarily tell Navelette.

It all depends on what question Villette asks.

"You can't even be honest with each other. Is this the sincerity of Zhidong?"

Navelette seized on the problem in Arlecchino's words and immediately responded with words, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"I'm very sorry about this, Mr. Villette. Due to the special nature of the Fatui organization, my words and actions must be carefully considered. I can't judge which of my words may become the fuse that damages the relationship between the two countries."

"Therefore, regarding the question you are about to ask, Mr. Villette, I can only answer it from the perspective of a diplomat, not an executive of the Fatui. However, this may result in you not getting the answer you want."

"So I can only be as honest as possible."

Alechino looked regretful, and she said regretfully.

"My identity as a diplomat is enough. I am not curious about the internal affairs of your Fatui. I will get the information I want on my own."

Villette raised his head slightly and actually chose to give in. You know, he could have used this topic to muddy the waters even more and take more initiative.

But he didn't. Didn't Villette know how to seize the opportunity?

No, of course not.

Villette's words seemed to be a concession, but in fact they were warning Alecino that he also had his own intelligence network, and he would keep a close eye on Alecino's actions in Fontaine.

He was warning Alechino not to learn from her former diplomat, otherwise, Villette wouldn't mind changing the servant.

Alechino also heard this, but she didn't care.

Anyway, she would not do anything to harm her "hometown".

"Haha... Mr. Villette has great powers, which is beyond my reach."

Alechino gave a fake smile and continued to be polite.

"...So, my first question is...about Ms. Kugavina, the former diplomat of Solstice stationed in Fontaine. Was her death...caused by you?"

Villette's voice suddenly changed, and her eyes, as bright as the aurora, stared coldly at Alecino.

"Yeah...I did it."

Alechino did not avoid Villette's gaze at all. She met this scrutinizing gaze and faced it.

"Second question, it is rumored that you killed Kugavina. Was it for power?"

Then Villette asked again.

"Who knows? Maybe."

Alechino spread his hands and said.

But she won't keep herself so passive forever.

"These seem to be my personal affairs, right? So does Mr. Villette really want to waste this rare opportunity of openness and honesty on me?"

Arlecchino quickly launched a counterattack.

"Of course I won't waste it. The two questions just now were just to test what kind of person you are."

Villette's expression relaxed.

"Oh? Then may I ask, Mr. Villette, what kind of person am I?"

Alechino asked, raising an eyebrow.

"A sane madman."

That Villette said honestly.

"Hmm...very accurate." Arlecino agreed.

After a brief confrontation, both of them had a general judgment of each other.

For Alecchino, Villette will be her greatest rival in Fontaine, a very tough, resourceful, and frighteningly calm opponent.

To Navilet, Alecino was far more dangerous than Kugavina, but the difference was that Alecino was more rational and she knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

But this also meant that Arlecchino was destined to be more difficult than her predecessor.

The meeting lasted until the afternoon, but the two did not reach a consensus. In the next few days, Arecino will come to Navilette to discuss the issue of rebuilding the diplomatic relations between Solstice and Fontaine.

Just as Alechino was about to leave, an unexpected figure rushed in.
