Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

[The Hearth House] is really not a good place.

If given a choice, who would be willing to be taken in by such a horrible place, who would be willing to face a hypocritical [mother]?

Kujavina, even if you die a hundred times, it will not make up for the sins you have committed!

But now, such a bad guy has died, killed by an even worse bad guy.

Fontaine's [Heartland House] was abandoned by Kugavina after she trained the [King], and she moved the headquarters to Winter Solstice.

However, being abandoned does not mean that [Fireplace House] is really no longer needed.

After the final [Assessment], a group of [Heartland House] children who were originally scheduled to be sent to Fontaine from [Heartland House] in other countries did not go to Winter Solstice with Kugavina. Instead, they were still left in Fontaine.

However, [Heatway House] has been abandoned, and many of their children, under the guidance of their "teachers", still continue with the previous model.

Study, duel, the winner survives, the loser is sent to the [Doctor] as an experimental subject.

This situation continued even after Kujavina died.

It wasn't until Arlecino inherited the title of [Servant] and the Hearth House that things changed.

These children who were abandoned in Fontaine inevitably fought many duels over the past year or so, and many of them were eliminated.

Now, these surviving children are about to have a father.

A residential house somewhere.

Arlecchino, who had originally returned to the hotel to rest, avoided the spies arranged by Villette and came to this so-called temporary branch of Fontaine [House of Fireplace].

Don't get me wrong, this [House of Hearth] has nothing to do with Alechino. She came here to take in these living children.

At this time, the night was already deep.

Fontaine [House of Fireplace] temporary branch.

The only light in the room came from the wood burning in the fireplace.

A dozen children were brought into this room. They looked terrified, leaning against each other, looking at the figure sitting in front of the fireplace with dark and desperate eyes.

Alechino sat on a mahogany high chair, her legs crossed, her dark red eyes unusually cold.

At this moment, she was like a queen sitting on a bloody throne, looking down at everyone from above.

Beside Alecino, there was a group of elite Wind Servants and Frost Servants of the Fatui standing upright, just like the queen's guards.

And in front of Alechino there was a middle-aged man kneeling. He had a kind face, but at this moment his body was covered in blood, and his gorgeous clothes had turned into rags.

This person is the person in charge of the temporary branch of Fontaine [House of Fireplace].

Yves Futro.

The Fontaine people joined the Fatui for money and status, and had been regularly sending "experimental materials" to Kugavina from other countries while Kugavina was alive.

The children's gaze shifted from Alecino to Yves, and their originally gloomy eyes became lively when they saw Yves.

What kind of look is that?

Fear, terror, despair, hatred, anger...

The looks in these children's eyes made Alechino feel extremely familiar.

Wasn't she one of these children, once upon a time?

"Ives, I clearly remember that the rules of Hearth House have been revised. Why do you still continue to use the duel method?"

"Do you think that you can hide your actions from my eyes while I am in Winter and you are in Fontaine?"

Alechino asked coldly.

The kneeling Ives suddenly began to tremble like a sieve and begged for mercy loudly.

"Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life! I was just confused for a moment. Please give me another chance. I will never dare to do it again!"

"Please, sir, please give me another chance because I have worked hard for the Fatui for more than ten years. I am sorry for my hard work. I was just delayed in receiving the news and failed to respond to your orders in time. It is my fault."

"But...but I am absolutely loyal to the Fatui, and I serve you wholeheartedly. I beg you to forgive me!"

Ives cried and begged for mercy, his nose was running, and he looked very miserable.

"You know you're wrong?"

Alechino's voice became less cold and had a little warmth.

Hearing this, Ives' heart moved, and surprise filled his face.

Judging from your tone...are you not planning to kill him?

Great! I can survive!

So, Ives kowtowed and promised.

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I promise there won't be a next time!"

However, Arlecino changed the subject.

"You don't know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."

The voice became cold again. From beginning to end, Alecino never said that he would let Ives go.

“When the threat of death is in front of us, no one will not be afraid, and no one will not want to live. Anyone who can suppress his fear of death will become a hero.”

"But obviously... that kind of person wouldn't be you, Ivis Futro."

"You never felt that you were wrong, because you were always following orders from above. You can be said to be a rare and dedicated subordinate. However, the order you followed was an order that was abolished by me."

"Then I want to ask, Ivis Futro. You knew that Kugavina died at my hands, and my order had been issued for several months, but you still followed your predecessor's method... What was your purpose?"

"Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me, or do you not even see me as an executive officer?"

"Answer me, Yves Footrough!"

Alecino scolded sharply.

She stood up from the chair, walked to Yves, and stepped on Yves's head.

The sharp high heels pierced the skin, and bright red blood flowed out of the wound. At the same time, Alechino continued to increase his strength.

“I…I I I…I…”

Ives was terrified. The pain in his head disrupted the excuse he had prepared to exonerate himself. He could only keep repeating "I".

"The Hearth House does not allow betrayal. Right, Evis."

"Someone, take care of him."

Alechino retracted her foot, but at the same time she changed her action and kicked Ives hard in the abdomen.

The toes of the high heels were very sharp, and when Alecino retracted her foot, the toes were stained with bright red.

Then, Alechino looked at the trembling children and spoke softly.

"From now on you will follow me..."

"I will raise you like a strict and cruel [father]..."
