Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

"Oh, look, look! Isn't this Mr. Viscount Cliff? I didn't expect you would be interested in my party. I thought a busy man like you wouldn't be interested in my small, simple magic show!"

Baron Felicis joked to a tall, resolute-looking middle-aged man.

In response to Baron Felicis's joke, the sturdy Viscount Cliff glanced at Baron Felicis indifferently, with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes.

It seems that he doesn't like Felicis, the baron who was bought with money.

"My father asked me to come and see the world. After all, I have been staying in the research institute and I didn't know that the outside world has changed so much."

Viscount Cliff said indifferently.

"Oh, then you'll have to experience how the world has changed."

Baron Felicis squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, I heard that something interesting happened in Xumi. A sand fox actually killed a ferocious long-maned tiger. Isn't this outrageous?"

Viscount Cliff asked back.

"Ahahahaha, indeed, indeed. This is really funny."

Baron Felicis nodded in response.

"Well, I'll go in first, you can take your time to serve the guests."

Viscount Cliff suddenly lost interest. He waved his hand and walked straight into the door without giving Baron Felicis a chance to reply.

Baron Felicis watched Viscount Cliff leave with a vicious look in his eyes.

Damn Viscount, don't think I didn't hear you hinting at me! Just wait, sooner or later I will climb to a higher position and step on your head!

Baron Felicis quickly adjusted his expression and continued to greet the guests with a smile.

Nobles came one after another to keep the appointment. Seeing that these people were of higher status than himself, Baron Felicis's smile became even more exaggerated. He seemed to be grinning from ear to ear.

Not long after, Felicis saw a northern-style carriage parked in front of the guild hall.

The car door opened and a tall woman in a black deep V dress walked down with graceful steps.

The woman had hair that was white on the outside and black on the inside, her fingernails were very long and sharp, her dark red eyes held a hint of contempt and arrogance, and the upturned corners of her mouth were a false smile, her smile was just out of courtesy, in fact she didn't care about anything in this manor.

Alechino, a diplomat of Solstice, an executive officer of the Fatui [servant], rumored to be a madman who [killed his mother] and usurped the throne, but recently became a regular customer of the Momang Palace, a favorite of the water goddess Lady Funina, and has a good friendship with the god of Fontaine.

This is how the nobles of Fontaine saw Arlecino.

As a diplomat, Arlecino's identity was embarrassing and insignificant in the Fontaine noble circle, but this diplomat of Solstice happened to be on good terms with their Lord God of Water, which forced these nobles to pay attention to Arlecino.

Speculating on the thoughts of God is what these nobles are most keen on.

Because once they guess correctly, they can use the favor of the gods to please them and gain more power and wealth for themselves.

Arlecchino caused a commotion as soon as she appeared.

"It's her? Really her?"

"Felicis actually invited her here. I thought it was just a lie..."

"This woman is really the best! What a pity... She is a rose with thorns, and the thorns are poisonous. If you touch her, you will die."

"As beautiful as a woman is, you have to be alive to enjoy her. We should stay away from her. She is too dangerous. Contacting her is like seeking the skin of a tiger."

The discussion of Arlecchino by the nobles present was undoubtedly negative. Although they were curious about how Arlecchino had been appreciated by the Lord of Water, they were afraid of Arlecchino's widespread reputation for evil.

Alechino took in the reactions of these nobles and was very satisfied with the effect.

It was worth it for her to push the situation forward, and her character was completely established.

Alechino observed the performance of these nobles and was trying to figure out which nobles she could cooperate with.

Alechino had already given up on infiltrating the Momang Palace.

The censorship of the Enforcement Court and the Film Expulsion Court was too strict. Although some corrupt officials appeared at the top, a trend of self-governance was gradually forming in the middle and lower levels.

The Supreme Inquisitor, Navilette, is in charge of two major violent institutions, and he himself is a symbol of Fontaine law and fairness.

Alecino tried to reach into the Court of Law and the Court of Shadows, but before Alecino could make any move, her people were immediately eliminated.

Seeing that there was no hope of infiltrating the Momang Palace, Alechino set his sights on these corrupt and incompetent nobles. For these old nobles, as long as they could maintain their status and power, they didn't care whether the person they were cooperating with was a demon or not.

After taking a quick look at these nobles, Alechino quickly identified a few target candidates.

Meanwhile, Alechino wasted no time, as she walked to the door while observing.

As soon as Baron Felicis saw Alechino, he immediately came up to her in a flattering manner.

"Oh my! Oh my! A rare guest! A rare guest! This is such a huge surprise! I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect that the famous winter diplomat Ms. Alechino would actually honor me by coming to my little manor!"

"I am truly honored! Come on, Ms. Arlecchino, please come in and make yourself at your leisure!"

Baron Felicis laughed and quickly invited Alecino into the guild hall.

Alecino did not refuse, she nodded.

"I am honored to receive your invitation, Baron Felicis. I hope you can restore the honor of your ancestors soon."

Alechino said this calmly, and then she walked into the guild hall under Felicis's eager gaze.

Felicis was very surprised by Alechino's arrival. After all, he had only invited her out of courtesy, but he did not expect that the diplomat from Solstice would actually come.

However, Alechino is now a hot potato, and her arrival has both advantages and disadvantages.

However, before Baron Felicis could think deeply, the big man he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

Duke of Manslet!

This is a man who is already in his fifties. He has sharp eyes and his luxurious and loose suit cannot hide his strong muscles.

Why are all the old nobles in Fontaine muscular old men?

Baron Felicis eagerly went to meet him.

Duke Manslet greeted him with equal warmth.

The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then Manslett's eyes changed, and he listened to Baron Felicis's words with a hint of amusement.

"Mr. Duke, I heard that you like kittens very much, so I specially prepared a cute and unique kitten to accompany you. I hope Mr. Duke can help me take care of this kitten. I can't leave here for the time being."

"Oh, that's your daughter..."

Manslett narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I believe in Mr. Duke of Manslet."

A meaningful smile appeared on Baron Felicis's face.

"Well, who told me that I can't stand seeing small animals lonely?"

A hint of anticipation rose in the old duke's heart.
