Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess
Chapter 94: Home, Not Home
After finishing her meeting with Piero the Harlequin, Arlecchino did not stay in the Winter Palace for too long. She quickly returned from the Winter Palace to the new headquarters of the Hearth House in the suburbs.
This is a huge manor, and its owner is the current Fatui executive - [Servant] Alechino.
Alechino still remembers how he got the estate.
At that time, a kind-hearted old man with white hair came to her and handed her a bunch of keys.
"Hehehe...child, we are a family from now on. This is just a small...insignificant care that I, as your elder, give you."
The short old man with a pair of elf ears smiled kindly, leaning on his cane, and handed the key to Alecino.
Faced with this sudden kindness, Alecino's heart was filled with alarm. She looked coldly at this kind old man and did not accept the kindness.
When the old man saw that Alechino was very wary of him, he didn't get angry, but just chuckled.
"Take it. This is the deal between me and my last boss. Even though she is dead, the deal still needs to be completed."
The old man said with his eyes half closed.
Upon hearing this, although Alechino knew the source of this so-called goodwill, he still did not give the old man face.
All I heard was Alechino saying coldly: "Kugavina's affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't care what the content of your deal is, but with me, all deals need to be renegotiated!"
Arlecino, who had just become an executive officer of the Fatui, was very irritating. After all, she had no good feelings towards this organization that had killed her best friend in disguise.
Likewise, Alecino hated herself because she was one of the murderers who killed her best friend.
Her red fire will continue to burn until the entire world is purified.
Obviously, the old man was very dissatisfied with Alechino's statement of starting a new business.
The old man finally put away his kind smile and said with a serious frown.
"Alechino, this is the inheritance of the [servants], and you cannot change it. It cannot be changed. The [servants] of all generations will cooperate with the [rooster]. This is a rule that was established a long time ago."
The old man... no, it should be the Fatui executive [Rooster] Pucciniella, who finally stopped pretending to be himself. He seemed to be irritated by Arlecchino's attitude of wanting to break the rules, or he felt that Arlecchino was too arrogant.
"In the Fatui, no one can survive without relying on others. Executors rely on the Queen, soldiers rely on their superiors, and you are no exception, Arlecino."
"I don't want to be your enemy, Lady Alechino. I'm just a politician with no talent, and I'm only good at political tactics. Her Majesty the Queen only chose me because I can manage Wintergrad in an orderly manner."
"We are not enemies. We were not enemies in the past, we are not enemies now, and we will not be enemies in the future."
Puccini said this sincerely, and then he handed the bunch of keys to Arlecchino again.
"……Ah……"
Alechino suddenly sneered, and her behavior made Puccini a little confused about her intention.
Should he accept the key and continue the cooperation between the [Servant] and the [Rooster], or choose to break the rules and refuse to cooperate.
Pucciniella believes that Arlecchino will still choose to cooperate.
Because he could see that Alecino was very ambitious and she would never be content with her current power.
Although Arachno is now an executive officer, as a person who killed the matr, Arachno is not well-received by the Fatui and Solstice. Many people reject her, hate her, and fear her.
Therefore, Pucciniera guessed that the reason why Arlecchino had not yet cleared his name was that he wanted to build up enough merits and then turn himself from a madman into a great hero in one fell swoop.
Puccini was very familiar with what these young people were thinking.
It's nothing more than power, money, fame and strength.
And since Arlecchino was born in the House of Hearth, her purpose was obvious.
Of course, there might be some secrets involved, but so what? Puccini doesn't care.
Puccini obviously believed that Arlecchino killed his mother and seized the throne for the sake of power.
This is normal. After all, most people would think that Arlecino, the criminal who killed the previous servant, could be promoted to the position of servant afterwards because of his desire for power.
Besides, none of these people knew anything about Arlecino.
The people of Winter only knew that Alechino was a child of the [House of Hearth], but she killed her [mother] with her own hands, while most of the executors knew the unknown side of the former [servant] Kugavina.
Although the executors could probably guess the truth about Arlechino's [matricide], they didn't care and were too lazy to guess. After all, the person involved didn't say anything.
So, let the truth be buried in history. All the world needs to know is that Arlecino is an absolute lunatic.
"Take it, Lady Alecino. You will need my help. Solstice is not the home of the hearth."
Pucciniella spoke slowly, as if reminding and warning.
Hearing this, Arlecchino just glanced at Pucciniella coldly.
She stretched out her hand, revealing a pitch-black hand that looked like charred charcoal after being burned by flames.
The fingernails were longer than a normal person would grow, and were blood red.
Puccini obviously noticed Arlecchino's unusual nails, but he said nothing.
Seeing that Arlecchino accepted his "kindness", Pucciniella finally smiled kindly again.
"Very good, then our cooperation will continue."
Pucciniella said.
"The cooperation can continue...but I ask for some changes. After all...I am not Kujavina."
Alechino played with the key and stated his conditions.
If she could be manipulated so easily, would she still be Alechino?
"How do you want to change it?"
Pucciniella was not surprised by Arlecchino's conditions. Rather, if Arlecchino accepted them all without doing anything, Pucciniella's opinion of her would be lowered, and he began to plan how to turn Arlecchino into his puppet.
"I want you to remember that Hearth House is now my home, and I make its rules. And this will be the children's home."
Alechino said slowly.
She held up a finger, and the meaning was obvious.
She will firmly resist any cooperation that is not beneficial to the child!
Because, the Hearth House is a home, not a [home].
"Haha...deal. I like children too. They are energetic and are the future of a family. The children gathered in Hearth House are the future of the Fatui."
Pucciniella smiled and said nonchalantly.
Anyway, the content of his collaboration was not those experiments, those were [Doctor’s] work.
