Jingle Bell……

On this day, someone rang the doorbell of [Fireplace House].

The clear sound of the bell spread throughout the [House of Hearth], and everyone was amazed by it.

The reason is simple: the doorbell of [Fireplace House] has almost never rung since the day it was installed.

At least, not in Peruvian's memory.

Because the Fatui do not need to ring the doorbell to enter and exit [Heartland House]. They only need Kugavina's order or other documents approved by the executive officers to enter and exit [Heartland House] freely.

So, when the doorbell of [Heatland House] rang, whether it was the first group of children like Peruvian or the children who came into [Heatland House] later, they were all curious about the visitor.

"Pepe, who told you... could it be that rang the doorbell?"

Krevy tilted her head, curiosity flashing in her eyes, and asked Peruvian, who was leaning against the wall with a book in her hand.

"It can't be someone from Hearth House, nor can it be the Fatui. They are not the ones who would ring the doorbell."

Peruvian analyzed without even looking up.

"Guests like this who are polite and come to visit [House of Hearth] are either Fontaine official staff or nobles who are willing to adopt."

"Yeah... that's true. Ordinary people wouldn't even consider the children here. The name of the Fatui alone is enough to scare many people away."

Krevy nodded and agreed.

"Don't think too much. Even if someone is willing to adopt us, [Mother] won't let us leave."

Peruvian briefly pulled herself out of the ocean of knowledge, glanced at Krevi, looked around, and asked.

"Where's Sophia?"

"Oh, she...she ran to the vicinity of [Mother's] office as soon as she heard the noise. Pepe, you know that Yaya loves to join in the fun."

Krevy shrugged and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Peruvian's expression remained unchanged. She just nodded and continued reading.

Sophia is still valuable to [Mother], and even if she really heard something unacceptable, [Mother] would not kill her immediately.

Moreover, Peruvian didn't think that Kugavina would tell any secrets to the guest who rang the doorbell.

Guests like this usually cause minor trouble and do not threaten their lives.

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the dean's office of Kugavina.

Kujavina was still wearing the outfit that made her look more gentle.

She wore a three-quarter-sleeved white shirt, a black mid-length cape, and a purple diamond-shaped gemstone necklace on the violet scarf on her chest. She wore a pair of black leather long gloves wrapped inside her cuffs. She wore a black high-waist pencil skirt with a slit in the front, and black over-the-knee boots underneath.

Sitting opposite her were two Mo Mang Palace staff members wearing sky blue uniforms.

In the eyes of the two staff members, Kujavina is a beautiful adult woman with a good figure. She has long wine-red hair. She braided her hair into a ponytail and hung it in front of her left shoulder. The corners of her eyes drooped slightly, giving people a gentle first impression.

"My lords, I only have some inferior tea in my humble abode. Please forgive me."

Kugavina smiled slightly and poured tea for the two of them personally. Her movements were gentle and her manners were graceful. Her every frown and smile revealed the elegance and maturity of a middle-aged woman.

"what……"

The two looked at each other, obviously surprised by Kugavina's enthusiasm and modesty.

The staff of Momang Palace still knew Ku Jiavina from the trial a few months ago. Ku Jiavina was eloquent and sharp-tongued, and she fought against seven or eight prosecutors alone and did not lose.

They originally thought that Kugavina would be very aggressive and would be very hostile to them, but now she is... warm and hospitable?

Sols lowered his hat. According to his own investigation, Kugavina was an extremely dangerous person and posed a great threat to Fontaine.

This appearance is probably what she deliberately disguised to show weakness to the enemy and paralyze the opponent.

So, Sols coughed lightly and spoke.

"No need for tea, Ms. Kugavina. We are here today to investigate whether the Hearth House is still within the Fontaine legal system. By the way, we also brought an order from the Supreme Inquisitor."

"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Villette wants to invite you for."

Kugavina narrowed her eyes and smiled hypocritically.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Villette really likes to understand the people's feelings. He knows that it must be very difficult for me, a woman, to run such a large welfare home alone, so he specially sent someone to take care of me."

"If Mr. Villette treats a foreigner like this, the people of Fontaine should care even more. Fontaine is so lucky to have a supreme judge who loves the people like his own children."

Souls and another staff member did not respond to Kugavina's praise. They remained calm, but there was a hint of anger in their eyes.

Is this a compliment? This is a veiled compliment.

Kujavina was expressing her dissatisfaction in this easy-to-understand way.

You, Villette, have overreached. I have already agreed to let you send someone to supervise [House of Hearth]. What rights do you have to interfere in the management system of [House of Hearth]?

So, Villette, are you going to break our agreement?

Don't forget, I am always the executive officer of the Solstice Faints and a diplomatic envoy representing the God of Ice. Is this how you in Fontaine treat diplomats from other countries?

Your behavior, Villette, is too overbearing!

Therefore, Sols and the other man could not respond to Kugavina's words because their rank was not high enough. She was a diplomat of Solstice and they were just delivering the message.

They could only take note of this kind of taunting, then go back and report it to Villette one by one, letting the Supreme Inquisitor deal with it himself.

However, this does not mean that they have to continue to smile.

Others have mocked their boss in person, so how can subordinates still indulge her?

"Ms. Kugavina, we will compile your words into a report and submit it intact."

Sols had a cold expression.

"Then, according to the judgment of Mr. Navilette, the highest judge in our country, the current education system of Hearth House cannot enable the children living there to have a skill after entering society. Hearth House cannot guarantee that the children here can survive in society."

"Therefore, Mr. Navilette asks Ms. Kugavina, the director of [Heart House], to open an additional shop with vocational skills training in Fontaine. And let the children of [Heart House] go there to receive skills training."

As he spoke, Sols took out a notice with the official seal of Momang Palace.

"This is a notice from the Momang Palace. The draft reform plan for the Hearth House has been approved. Now, please ask Dean Kugavina to start executing the order immediately."

After saying that, Sols and the other man left.

After receiving the notice, Kujiavina was so angry that her face turned green.

Na-V-Le-T, you liar!

We agreed not to interfere with the interior of [The Hearth House]!

fraud! big liar!
