Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess
Chapter 13: Ember
A huge fire suddenly broke out at Hellesex Manor.
The fire came out of nowhere, starting in the study on the second floor. The fire spread rapidly, as if something was helping it.
The scorching flames awakened the reveling nobles. They pulled up their trousers, put on their clothes, and fled from the Helless Manor like drowned dogs.
As soon as the fire broke out, Xilin Van Helleseth's daughters left Helleseth Manor through the path led by the maid Alyssa.
The maid seemed to have anticipated this situation and she had skillfully found a way out.
Xilin has many properties in Fontaine and some private assets, which are enough for Alyssa and these girls to live a rich life for the rest of their lives.
Did Xilin anticipate that he would be assassinated?
We don't know what this old man, who has only been on the scene for a short time, is thinking.
Perhaps to the group of people led by Peruvian who were trying to assassinate him, Xilin van Helleseth was just a troublesome target.
But to the daughters adopted by Xilin, he is undoubtedly a good father.
However, what does this mean to Peruvian and the others?
After all, Silin Van Helleseth was just a stepping stone on their difficult road to survival.
The nobles who came to attend the banquet got into their carriages in dishevel and dirt, and then quickly left the Helless Manor.
After tonight, the famous social venue, Hellesex Manor, will no longer exist.
The security guards who were cleared out by the little killers responsible for the outer blockade will also be reduced to ashes along with the manor.
Along with Silin van Helleseth.
[Fireplace House] The first group of children began to gather.
They packed the bodies of their dead brothers and sisters into thick, sturdy black bags, and then found a vacant lot on the spot to bury them.
[Mother] Kugavina would not let them collect the bodies of their dead brothers and sisters. Only with the presence of their eldest sister Krevi did they have the courage to think of collecting the bodies of their brothers and sisters.
Kujavina had such a profound influence on them that they were extremely afraid of the "mother" who always had a gentle smile.
After burying the brothers and sisters who died in this mission, Krevie led everyone back to their [home] located in the southern part of the eastern foothills of Mount Fontainemonts.
The fire burned brightly, and the Helesses Manor turned into the wood of Teyvat, blooming with a brief and stunning beauty in the empty wilderness.
Kujavina sat in a large furry chair, crossing her legs and smiling.
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair.
The fur-covered armrests were not comfortable to knock on, and the unclear knocking sounded like the death knell in the ears of these children.
The children were trembling with fear, they lowered their heads, they had not had time to change their clothes, and many of them had their wounds treated.
The blood circulated faster due to fear, which also caused the injured children to bleed more.
Kugavina looked at them gently, and seemed very satisfied that they had achieved such great results on their first mission.
"It seems that you guys are really studying hard. The mortality rate is 20% lower than I estimated. Not bad, it deserves praise."
Kugavina raised her hands and clapped them softly.
Hearing this, the children who were originally nervous suddenly relaxed. They exhaled heavily, and cold sweat flowed down their foreheads without them noticing, and their backs were already wet with sweat.
"Hehe... Don't be afraid, my dear children. As your [mother], I am more sad than anyone else about the children who died in this mission, but reality is so cruel."
Kugavina put away her smile, looked very sad, and said with great heartache.
"The Hearth House was founded by the Fatui, which means that each of you is a future Fatui soldier and will dedicate everything to the Queen. The current mission is just a small fight."
"In the future, you will face enemies that are a hundred times more powerful than Xilin van Helleseth, and at that time, you will be grateful for my training... Of course, if any of you can survive to that time, I think... we may become colleagues."
Faced with these children whom she has trained for three years, Kujavina sometimes doesn't even bother to pretend.
After all, they are all experimental materials under her control, so why should she spend so much time and effort on them?
If it wasn't for the purpose of training the best [King], Kugavina wouldn't even want to be polite with Peruvian and the others and communicate about family relationships.
My dear Perewilli, grow up quickly!
[Mother] I can't wait to see the day you ascend the throne.
Kugavina narrowed her eyes and glanced meaningfully at Peruvian in the crowd.
She had taken off her black cloak. At this moment, she was wearing a set of sportswear. The black highlights were so conspicuous among her white hair.
The eyes, which looked like cut mushrooms, stared blankly at Kugavina.
What was Peruvian thinking?
Kujiavina didn't know either, and didn't care.
"Ok?"
Peruvian, who was distracted, felt a burning gaze on herself and immediately came back to her senses.
is her?
Peruvili did not look away or shift her gaze. She just kept staring at Kugavina, as if she didn't know why her [mother] was looking at her, as if she was her [mother's] good child.
"Ha ha……"
A gentle smile appeared on Kugavina's face again, and she glanced at the surviving children.
"Go back and have a good rest. I'll give you three days of [holiday]. You can go to Fontaine to have a look..."
"Fontaine is very prosperous. You will definitely like it."
"But, you must come back before dusk on the third day~ Don't forget our rules..."
"[House of Hearth] does not allow betrayal."
After saying that, Kugavina left on her own.
At this time, everyone felt relieved. They sat on the ground casually, their faces full of fatigue.
Some children fell into a deep sleep, while others cried quietly.
……
The next day, Mo Mang Palace.
Navilette fell into deep thought as he looked at the report in his hand on the murder and arson case at Helless Manor.
The owner of Helleseth Manor and the current head of the Helleseth family, Mr. Silin van Helleseth, has been confirmed dead.
The search and rescue team sent by the Shadow Chaser Court found a headless body in the ruins.
The body was burned to charcoal by the flames, but based on the God's Eye that had lost its light and the ring on the hand, it was initially judged that the deceased was most likely Mr. Xilin van Helleseth.
The follow-up report still needs to wait for further confirmation from the autopsy report of the forensic doctor of Zhuying Court.
Who is killing people in Fontaine?
The people killed were nobles whose political status was extremely sensitive?
"Don't make the details of this matter public yet. Don't cause panic among the people, and don't let the nobles stir up public opinion."
After much consideration, Villette decided not to make the news public for the time being and simply declared it an accidental fire.
However, he cannot be the spokesperson.
It is well known that Navelette is not a good liar.
