As Arecino spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Villette, as if to say…
Everything was done according to Fontaine procedures and justice, so you have no excuse now.
Seeing Arecino's words, Navelette nodded slightly and said calmly, "Very well then. In that case, I should go back and issue the orders."
Navelette stood up, naturally preparing to leave; she still had things to do at the Mo Mang Palace.
Whether it's the upcoming trial of D'Artagnan, the capture of Marcel, the mastermind behind it all, or the investigation of the Cabrière Merchant Guild and the mole within the guard, he intends to handle it all personally.
"Okay." Arecino nodded. The matter had been settled, and the other party could leave whenever they wanted.
Su Hao and his group also said that they should leave now, as the matter of capturing Masele was almost over for the night.
It will definitely be left to the Fools and the Fontaine Guard, who have the largest numbers of men, to handle.
Arecino didn't try to keep them, as she had plenty of things to do herself, and simply said she'd see them at the Opiclie Opera House trial that evening.
And so, Su Hao and his group left the villa where the Fools were staying with Navelette.
Before leaving, Navia looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Congratulations, Miss Navia. Your father, Mr. Carles's injustice may finally come to a real end today."
Navia was startled by these words, then she lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.
Chapter 568 Funina: "Huh?"
'Oops! ’
Upon hearing Naviette's words, Su Hao immediately sensed something was wrong. He knew that although Navia outwardly treated Naviette with respect, she was still quite respectful.
But this is only a superficial attitude. When it comes to official business, Navia's attitude will definitely be better, after all, the other party is the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, who holds most of the power in Fontaine.
But in private, it's a different story. After all, Navia had told Su Hao not long ago that she didn't have a very good impression of Navia.
He clearly saw that there were many suspicious points in his father's case, but he still acquiesced to the trial.
Ultimately, this led to Carles' death, even though Navia now knows from Miles that her father deliberately sought death.
But Navia still couldn't accept Vilette's indifference to life; he clearly had the ability to stop it, but he didn't.
Because of this, Navia has always had a very bad attitude towards Navilet.
She didn't show it just now entirely because she couldn't interject during the three-way conversation.
As for now... Su Hao has already foreseen what will happen when Vilet directly mentions Navia's father.
"You mean... my father's case?"
Navia trembled slightly. She didn't turn to look at Navilet, but instead added, "Mr. Navilet, you should know very well back then that my father wasn't the murderer at all."
“…………” Navelette paused for a moment. He knew what Navia was talking about, so he said slowly, “I’m sorry, Miss Navia.”
“Your father, Mr. Carres, was a very good man. His death was truly regrettable. At the time, all the evidence pointed to him, and I had no right to interfere during the trial.”
"And at that time, I..."
Before Navisle could finish speaking, Navia suddenly erupted in tears. She turned around, tears welling in her eyes, and shouted, "Mr. Navisle, what is this?!"
"Sympathy for me? Comfort? Or, as you say, regret?"
"No...nothing at all. I can tell there's no emotion in your words. You're just saying it because you feel that's how it should be at this moment!"
Navia's emotions, suppressed for years, erupted all at once. Just like back then, she stared directly at Naviette and continued, "You don't care about any of this. You only care about the judgment!!!"
“Back then, my father stepped onto the dueling ring, and I disregarded the guards’ attempts to stop me and came to you. You knew there was something fishy about that case, but you still acquiesced to the duel.”
"Now you know the truth, you know that people can be dissolved, you know that Marcell is the real murderer, and you understand my father's injustice!"
"But so what? You're just offering me selective comfort right now. In your eyes, the value of life is nowhere near as high as those ruthless rules and laws in your hands!"
"If you really felt sorry for my father's death, why didn't you stop him then?!"
"Even if you can't intervene! Why won't you give me the right to stop him! Why let him die with such a stigma?!"
"Answer me, Villette, is this what you consider justice and fairness?!"
Vilette's pupils dilated in shock. In that instant, two figures flashed before his eyes: one was Kares, and the other... was a friend from many years ago.
After saying that, Navia seemed to realize that she had really lost her composure. She took a deep breath, apologized to Su Hao and his group, and then quickly ran away.
Navia clearly knew she shouldn't lose her temper, but she just couldn't help it.
When Navelette knew something was amiss, he chose to acquiesce to the duel taking place.
Now that he knows the truth, does he think a casual regret and apology can solve everything?
Navia can understand Naviette, yet she also cannot understand Naviette.
Charlotte didn't know what to say at that moment, so she quickly told Su Hao that she was going to follow Navia.
Gan Yu also tugged at Shen He, indicating that Navia was still not out of danger and that they needed to go and check on her.
Claude hesitated for a moment, then told Navia that Navia was the next target in the serial disappearances of girls, and that Marcell would not let her off easily.
Back in Baisong Town, they tried to dissolve Navia into water; now in Fontaine, who knows what they might do.
So Clarin followed, intending to keep an eye on Navia and prevent her from getting hurt.
Navelette naturally nodded in agreement and sent Clarinde to keep an eye on Navia.
And so, only Su Hao, Navelette, and Qianzhi remained on the scene.
"Are you alright?" Su Hao looked at Villette, knowing that she wasn't as hard-hearted as he had imagined.
Having served as the Supreme Judge of Fontaine for so long, even if Vilette was a cold and ruthless dragon, he must have met all sorts of people over those hundreds of years.
Influenced by all sorts of people, Navelette, like Roda, must have begun to change his stance and become like a real person.
The things Navia said in her emotional outburst must have made Navelette feel very uncomfortable.
"It's alright, because it was indeed my fault in this matter."
Navelette sighed, his expression becoming extremely complicated. He looked at Su Hao and slowly said, "Back then, I knew there was something fishy about Carles' case, but I felt that it was impossible for a person to overcome the instinct for survival."
“If Mr. Carles gives up the duel, I can save him and then investigate the case at my own pace.”
"only……"
At this point, Villette sighed again.
Chiori added, "You didn't expect that Mr. Carles never gave up until his death, so he died by Clorind's sword, truly dying in a duel."
Navelette nodded. This was something he never expected; someone could actually overcome the will to survive and die by Clorind's sword.
To be fair, Navelette didn't want to see Carles die, because the Rose Society he led had made far too many contributions to Fontaine.
But all the evidence pointed to Carles, so Villette's idea was simple: as long as Carles was put on trial and imprisoned, he would use his power to investigate.
With Carles dead, all of this became meaningless. All Vilette could do was help the Rose Society suppress [Les] and make [Les] a publicly prohibited item.
Although [Les] is still being sold secretly, at least openly, the other party can no longer distribute it.
The decline of the Rose of the Wild is a sad sight, but Villette had no better way to help him, for he was merely the Supreme Judge of Fontaine and could not change the will of the people.
The Rose Society is an organization that grew by relying on the people; once it loses popular support, the Fontaine government will not be able to help it.
"I'll handle things with Navia," Su Hao said, looking at Vilette with comfort. "After all, she still has some misunderstandings about you."
In Su Hao's opinion, Navelette was a decent dragon, but she hadn't reached the level that Navia had described.
If he truly valued justice and judgment above all else, then he wouldn't have condoned the fools doing these things.
It was precisely because he had feelings that he acquiesced to the actions of the Fools, allowing them to use a more extreme method to find the truth and avoid a larger conflict.
But in Navia's words, Navelette becomes a dragon with eyes full of justice and judgment, devoid of any emotion.
“No, she’s right.” Navelette shook her head slightly and looked at Su Hao calmly, saying, “I am indeed such a being, and Miss Navia is not wrong either.”
"Regarding Mr. Carles, I could have saved him, but I didn't."
"I feel very sorry about this, but regret can't solve anything. Right now, all I can do is make the person who did this stand trial!"
Navelette looked very serious. He admitted to the mistakes he made back then, but what about the real culprit, that is, Marcel?
He will never let them off easily!
"Hmm." Su Hao nodded slightly when he saw Vilette say that, and didn't say anything more.
Su Hao himself didn't intend to get involved in Navia and Navelette's affair anymore; no matter what, it was far too late.
Even if Vilette saves Carles, it will only prolong his life by a few years.
According to Miles, Carles was already seriously ill at the time and there was no way he could survive; there was nothing that could be done.
“Then, I’ll head back to Momang Palace first.” Navelette also indicated that he planned to return to Momang Palace. He looked at Su Hao calmly and said, “Thank you for the clues you’ve collected.”
"And regarding why the Fontaine people were dissolved by the waters of the Primordial Sea of Immortality, I think it's necessary to ask a certain guy."
"Someone?" A question mark appeared above Su Hao's head as soon as Violet uttered those words, then he belatedly realized, "Wait? You mean Funina?"
Yes, when Vilette said "a certain guy," Su Hao was genuinely stunned, not knowing for a moment who she was referring to.
But considering that Navelette's attitude towards Funina wasn't particularly kind or respectful, Su Hao guessed that Navelette might be talking about Funina.
“Yes.” Navelette nodded, his tone calm. “It’s her. After all, she is the water goddess, and she should know some clues about this.”
"Even if she didn't know, she should know what the first water god did. In short... she must know some clues about this."
Navelette was very serious, and no matter how much Funina joked around on a daily basis, she was quite serious when it came to prophecy.
Marcel is about to be captured, but his capture does not mean he knows why the waters of the Primordial Sea of the Dead can dissolve the Fontaine people.
Based on Su Hao's intelligence deduction, it is highly likely that Marcel unintentionally learned that the water of the Primordial Fetal Sea could dissolve the Fontaine people, and that trace amounts of the Primordial Fetal Sea water could induce excitement and happiness in the Fontaine people.
But the key question is, why can the waters of the Primordial Sea of the Embryo dissolve the people of Fontainebleau, but not others?
Why is [L'Oréal] effective for people in Fontainebleau but ineffective for people in other countries?
Navelette knew all this information, but he didn't understand its meaning.
So Vilette decided to go find Funina, the water goddess, who would surely know some clues.
"Could she possibly have any information?" Su Hao knew about Funina's situation, and he looked at Villette and reminded her, "After all, you know that Funina doesn't know many things."
"Furthermore, the death of the first water goddess is shrouded in mystery. She probably didn't know as much as you think, did she?"
Here, Su Hao was subtly expressing his meaning: he hoped that Vilette would treat Funina as a mascot and not assume that she knew any information.
