Ying, her fair arms wrapped around Su Bai's neck, smiled wickedly: "Is that so, my dear Pope..."
"Admit it, in your previous life, just how many nobles sent young girls to your family."
Since meeting her father, Navia's entire demeanor has changed.
"Ying, Paimon..."
After leaving Petersburg, Navia waved enthusiastically to Luminous and Paimon.
【"Navia..."】
Ying and Paimon paused for a moment.
The two had been worried about Navia's safety, but they were surprised to find her so cheerful after she came out, as if she had undergone a complete transformation.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"
Paimon circled Navia several times, then took a few steps back in shock: "You, did the Pope do something strange to you?"
Why do I feel like you...?
"Paimon, Luminous, my good partner, you can't be so disrespectful to His Holiness the Pope."
Navia placed her hand on her chest, looking repentant.
"His Holiness the Pope is truly the greatest being in Fontaine."
[Eh!?]
Ying and Paimon were completely dumbfounded.
[Thinking to myself: Could Navia have been brainwashed by Su Bai after entering Mero Petersburg?]
Fischl: "Hmph, so the pure maiden has been corrupted by evil? No matter, the light of justice will eventually shatter the darkness."
Mona: "..."
Mona: "Fischl, be normal."
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: "I want to say that Su Bai in his previous life really had the ability to control his mind. I remember that the thief in Mondstadt seemed to say some incoherent things, as if Su Bai had forced her to say them."
Gan Yu: "Hey, I didn't notice."
Yuan Shang: "It's over. Now that you've said that, Master Su's image is going to collapse."
Kong: "Ying, tell me quickly, are you feeling unwell?"
fluorescent:"....."
Ying: "You guys are really imaginative. It's not surprising that Su Bai can use hypnosis and other mind-controlling abilities, but I believe he wouldn't stoop to such despicable means unless absolutely necessary."
Yae no Miko: "Wow, Ying, are you just being overly protective of your husband?"
Navia: "I also believe that with Mr. Su Bai's abilities, he would not stoop to using such methods. Given his status in Fontaine, if he really wanted to do something to me, I would have no ability to resist at all. Why would he need to control me and turn me into a puppet?"
【"Your Majesty the Pope."】
"Navia and the Traveler seem to have recently begun investigating Marcellus."
As usual, Aylward skillfully brewed tea for Su Bai.
"Mmm," Su Bai simply responded softly.
[He didn't say much.]
[It was as if everything was going as expected.]
Su Bai put down the newspaper in his hand.
[The view of Fontainebleau through the window.]
"So, it's going to fail again after all?"
"Your Holiness, what are you saying?" Aylward placed the brewed tea in front of Su Bai.
"It's nothing," Su Bai said with a wry smile.
"I think His Holiness the Pope should take a trip to relax," Aylward continued.
"More than thirty years have passed since I was taken in by His Holiness the Pope as a child."
"These days, His Holiness the Pope has been busy with all matters concerning Fontaine; I imagine you must be tired."
"Especially lately, I've often heard pacing sounds coming from His Holiness the Pope's room at night."
"Poor sleep quality can affect your health."
"Fontaine cannot live without you."
[Ailson finally found an excuse to advise Su Bai that he should get some rest.]
He was always proud to be Su Bai's butler.
[I understand now even more clearly what Su Bai has gone through all these years.]
[Aside from not participating in the opera house trial, Su Bai handled all other matters, big and small, in Fontaine.]
Construction, development, diplomacy, education, healthcare...
Almost every single item required Su Bai's review.
And then there's that most damned prophecy.
[Ailson noticed that ever since the incident at the opera house where people were dissolved into water, Su Bai hadn't had a proper night's sleep.]
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ···
"Heh, you little rascal..."
Su Bai seemed amused by Aylward.
He laughed and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you; I'm actually more than ten times your age."
"You actually told a long-lived being to rest."
Su Bai, with a smile on his face, picked up his teacup.
I was just about to try my butler's tea-making skills.
But then there was a rapid knocking at the door.
[Eilson frowned, and opened the door with a hint of displeasure.]
The security guard standing at the door hurriedly said, "Something terrible has happened, Lord Aylward."
"Datalia, the executor of the Fools of the Winter Kingdom, has been taken to the court of judgment."
"What?" Aylward was taken aback.
[He quickly looked at Su Bai.]
"Your Holiness, what do you think..."
Having followed Su Bai for over thirty years, Aylward had never formally participated in any events.
However, not having eaten pork doesn't mean you've never seen a pig.
Although the Fools have a bad reputation, their executives possess the privilege of representing the Winter Kingdom as diplomatic envoys.
Bringing the Executors of the Fools to the Tribunal in Fontaine would be an international issue for both Fontaine and Winter.
【"Why..."】
Su Bai let out a long sigh.
"Looks like I'll have to save this tea for another time."
The conversation between Su Bai and the butler, Aylward, was relatively simple.
It's more like ordinary conversations between the two in their daily lives.
However, Su Bai's words, "So it really is going to fail after all?" perfectly confirmed everyone's previous guesses.
As the Pope of Fontainebleau, Su Bai was indeed aware of everything that Marcel had done.
He was trying to find out the truth about why the Fontainebleau people were dissolved through Marcellus's experiments.
Tvalin: "Oh, Mr. Su Bai, being the Pope must be really tough."
Ningguang: "Do I have to be called away to deal with problems even when I just want to have a cup of tea?"
Keqing: "The Executors of the Fools do have a rather special status. Doesn't Vilette, as the Supreme Judge, know this?"
Navilette: "Of course I understand, but the laws of Fontaine represent everything in Fontaine."
Todorei: "Hmph, I'm very curious, why exactly do you want to capture the young master?"
Navilette: "This..."
Arenoch: "Because the young master is involved in a case of a girl's disappearance twenty years ago."
Todorei: "???"
Capitano: "This situation seems somewhat abstract."
