Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

"…The above is all the information I have collected during the four years I have been lurking in [House of Hearth]."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he quietly waited for the highest judge of Fontaine opposite him to speak.

Villette sat upright on the sofa, and a rare crack appeared on his icy face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

【House of Fireplace】……

They are actually training child soldiers!

This is such a terrible behavior, it is really despicable.

Then Villette couldn't understand how cruel humans were to force their own young to go to the battlefield or carry out assassinations with extremely high mortality rates?

That Vilet clearly remembered that under the current order of the Seven Gods of Teyvat, except for the domestic riots in some individual countries, the overall situation in Teyvat was still very peaceful.

Why do the Fatui, to whom Winter belongs, want to disrupt this peace?

Isn't peace good?

Or do all humans value violence?

But this doesn't make sense. Villette served as the chief judge of Fontaine for more than four hundred years, and under his observation, the people of Fontaine loved peace.

Most Fontaine people resist unregulated violence. They respect the law and when faced with injustice or illegal behavior, they will go to court and ask the judge to conduct a fair and just trial.

Even if there are people who are dissatisfied with the verdict, they will engage in a public duel with the duel agent.

But this rarely happens, and almost no one would choose to duel.

After all, this is a crime that could result in death, and there has never been a death penalty under Fontaine law.

Therefore, out of concern for their own lives, the judged will subconsciously avoid duels.

Because of this, the people of Fontaine were more inclined to peace in Navillatte's eyes.

After all, this water dragon doesn't understand humans either.

Humans are more complex than dragons.

While waiting, Sols kept observing the changes in Villette's expression. This was a habit he had developed over the past four or even almost five years.

There are very few outsiders coming and going around [Fireplace House], but every time someone comes, a group of children will inevitably enter [Fireplace House].

Although Kugavina claims that [Heartland House] is a welfare organization facing the world, determined to provide every homeless child with a warm haven, the staff of [Heartland House] will carry out rescue activities in the seven countries and send the children to [Heartland House].

But Sols was skeptical about this. And it wasn't just Sols. In fact, high-level officials in various countries suspected that [House of Hearth] had bad intentions.

Even in winter, some people are skeptical.

They all suspected that the reason why there were a constant supply of orphans in Hearth House was because the Fatui executive was artificially creating orphans.

Create orphans! Destroy other people's families and force those young children to wander and become homeless orphans.

What exactly does Kujavina want to do and why does she do this?

In this regard, Sols did not know Kugavina's purpose, but he knew that if Kugavina was really creating orphans, she must be punished most severely.

As a member of the special patrol team of the Shadow Chaser Court special team, Sols felt that he had to stop Kugavina's evil deeds.

He must find out Kugavina's true purpose as soon as possible and then destroy Kugavina's ambition.

"By training young children to engage in a range of illegal activities, including assassination, intelligence theft, and violent debt collection, [The Hearth House] has violated the original purpose of a welfare institution."

That Villette looked at Sols and spoke solemnly.

"According to the laws of Fontaine, the Chasing Shadow Court will investigate and collect evidence from the Hearth House and summon the person in charge, Ms. Kugavina."

"Mr. Sauls, your mission has been completed. Please return to the team and have a good rest. If everything goes well, you will be required to testify in court in the subsequent trial."

Faced with Villette's suggestion, the middle-aged uncle Sols did not accept it. He shook his head and said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Villette, please allow me to apply for a temporary leave of absence. I have some personal matters to deal with. But don't worry, I will definitely return to the team before the trial begins."

"Oh, may I ask what matter requires you to leave the team to deal with it, Sols?"

Navilette asked politely.

"As far as I know, Mr. Sols, you have not had any contact with others in the past few years, and your family only knows that you are carrying out a very important mission..."

"I'm sorry. I'm not doubting you. I'm just going through some...routine."

That Villette paused and explained seriously.

"I understand. Just put your mind at ease. I, Sols, am not the kind of person who is petty and nitpicky."

Sols smiled and waved his hand and said.

"I have a big heart. I also understand how difficult it is for you, Mr. Villette... Haha, actually, I really admire you, Mr. Villette. You are in such a high position, but you always stick to your original intention and uphold justice for the people of Fontaine."

"Supreme Judge... I dare not even think about it. If I were in that position, would I still be able to stick to my heart like you?"

"No, I probably wouldn't be able to last even a week. I'm a very selfish person. I'm sure I'll abuse my power."

"But you are different. In the history I studied, you, Mr. Villette, have always upheld the greatest justice and fairness for hundreds of years. Your judgments and decrees to the cardinals are always exactly the same."

"Sometimes I wonder, if one day your judgment is different from the final judgment made by the Cardinal of the Decree, I will definitely believe in you 100%, Mr. Villette."

"After all, machines can break down sometimes, even if they are created by gods... Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to offend Lady Funina."

Sols quickly interrupted himself and looked at Villette awkwardly.

"It's okay, please continue." Villette shook her head gently.

"Haha, thank you Lord Villette for your magnanimity." Sols said jokingly.

"Then I will continue... I trust your decision more than the cardinal's decree. Yes, that's what my heart tells me!"

After saying that, Sols gave Villette a thumbs up.

"Haha...thank you for your trust, Mr. Sols."

That Villette chuckled and seemed to be in a good mood.

"But please be careful when handling private matters. Although you don't want to say it, I can guess that it should be related to the [House of Hearth], right?"

"Eh? Then Mr. Villette..."

That Villette raised his hand to interrupt Sols, his tone serious.

"If you encounter danger, please evacuate immediately. Ms. Kugavina is dangerous, and there may be dangers hidden near the Hearth House that you have not discovered."

"Remember, Mr. Sauls. Your family is waiting for you."

"Ah...I will!"

Sols nodded and his expression became serious.
