"Why do they seem to be behaving strangely?"
Just at this time, Funina suddenly heard some noise around her, and then she found that the crowd watching the excitement began to leave one after another. It was at this time that she noticed that the expressions on these people's faces were very strange, and Funina became even more confused.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
"That Lady Finina..."
Charlotte also had a strange expression on her face. Although she tried her best to remain calm, one could still feel that she was not calm.
"As far as I know, there are only two powerful people in Mello Petersburg who can do this and use the water elemental power."
"One is Mr. Tartaglia, who fought with Miss Emily earlier and is currently in a coma and has been sent to the infirmary to rest."
"And the other one is you, Lady Finina..."
After hearing Charlotte's explanation, Funina was dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that I am a strong suspect?!"
Everyone who heard Finina's exclamation couldn't help but complain silently in their hearts.
Aren't you the murderer? !
Although everyone was tactful enough not to speak out their inner thoughts due to their concern for Furninna's identity as the Goddess of Water, Furninna could sense their current thoughts from their gazes, so she defended herself with great grievance.
"I'm not the murderer!"
Seeing everyone's disbelieving expressions, Funina couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
"I'm really not the murderer!"
"I am the God of Water. How could I attack some ordinary people?"
"Lady Funina, please calm down. I believe you are not the murderer."
At this time, the girl spoke softly and gave Funina a reassuring smile.
"Come on, let's go back first and let the guards investigate the scene. I believe that the Duke will definitely clear Lady Funina's name."
After hearing the girl's words, Funina looked at her with some emotion, and at the same time felt warm in her heart.
At this point, only the girl believed that she did not do such a thing.
"Lady Finina, I also believe that you would not do such a thing!"
At this time, Charlotte also spoke up to support Funina, and finally Funina's emotions returned to normal.
"Well, thank you very much for your trust."
"As for those foolish people who question my status as a god, when the truth comes out, repent for your blindness and ignorance!"
"let's go."
After saying this, Funina left angrily, and the girl smiled apologetically to everyone, then followed Funina.
Everyone just looked at the two people who were leaving with mocking eyes. Most of them in Melo Petersburg didn't like Funina in the first place. In their eyes, Funina was just being too timid.
Who else could the murderer be except you, the water god? Could it be Tartaglia who is still lying in the hospital bed?
Are they all fools?!
Seeing this, Charlotte looked at the two of them with some concern.
At present, all unfavorable clues point to the water goddess Finnina, but having had contact with Finnina several times, she is unwilling to suspect Finnina as the murderer.
"Okay, let me find the real murderer."
"Detective Charlotte is online!"
Charlotte was unwilling to believe that Fernina was the real murderer, so she could only consider other aspects.
Charlotte walked confidently towards the crime scene and was driven away by the guards stationed there.
No matter how Charlotte tried to persuade them, the other party refused to let her in for investigation, and finally Charlotte had no choice but to leave in shame.
The great detective's career, which had just lasted a few minutes, suffered a disastrous defeat.
Of course Charlotte was not going to give up just like that. Instead, she chose to go to Leosley to get his permission first, and then investigate the case.
……
"Emily, this is too much. Someone must be deliberately framing me!"
After returning to the dormitory, Funina spoke angrily.
"This guy is too much. I am the water god of Fontaine. How dare he?!"
"Lady Furnina, calm down. The final investigation results have not come out yet. Right now, the case is only at the suspicion stage."
The girl poured a cup of warm black tea for Furninda and continued speaking.
"I believe that Lady Funina will be cleared of all charges in the end."
"And I'm still here, right?"
"No matter what happened, I will never think that Lady Funina did it."
The girl paused, then a charming smile appeared on her face.
"I know how much Lady Funina loves the people of Fontaine."
"Emily!"
Furninna was touched by the girl's words, and her eyes became warm.
She turned her head away, not wanting the girl to see her loss of composure. After a while, Funina looked at the girl again, grabbed her hand and spoke very seriously.
"Emily, I'm so lucky to know you!"
"I don't know why, but I always seemed to have bad luck. Not only was I frightened by those people with ulterior motives, but I was also deceived and even..."
"In the end, he was wrongly accused and had to go to Mellow Petersburg to atone for his crimes."
"But I met you. Maybe all the things I experienced before were just for the chance to meet you!"
When Furninna said this, she blushed slightly.
These words were actually not in line with the identity of the Water God, but she had been with him for so long that she didn't have too many concerns.
The most important thing is why these words sound so corny?
Furninha quickly shook her head to get rid of this strange thought from her mind.
Funina was not going to stop, otherwise she might not have the courage to say it a second time.
Recalling the times when the two of them had been together in the past, although the other party seemed to have some control over her, he also took meticulous care of her in many things and was able to understand her inner pain.
Funina felt that if she backed down, it would be difficult for her to make friends who understood her like this again.
Finina recalled again the time when, when she was facing everyone's strange looks, the girl stood behind her without hesitation and said that she would always believe in her.
Suddenly, Funina felt full of courage.
"Emily, can you promise me?"
"After this is over, follow me back to the water."
"You know, as the God of Water, I can't stay in Mello Petersburg for too long, even though I like it here very much."
"But in the end I still have to return to the public eye, but I really can't bear to leave you."
"I really need you, Emily, come with me then!"
After saying all these words in one breath, Funina began to feel uneasy. She was worried that the girl would reject her. However, after experiencing the paradise-like life in Melopenerburg, she didn't know whether she had the courage to return to that false stage again.
At least if there was a girl accompanying her, she believed that she would be able to face that fake life day after day with ease.
"Really, Lady Funina said something like this, it's really hard for me to refuse."
A helpless smile appeared on the girl's face and she shook her head slightly.
"Lady Funina is being a bit dishonest. I believe that most people would find it difficult to refuse Lady Funina's serious words."
"And I think Lady Funina can't live without the cake I made myself."
"Hehehe, they all are there..."
When Funina heard the girl's teasing, she scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"Both?"
"No, no, no, you are more important, Emily!"
"Hehehe..."
After hearing Funina's somewhat flustered reply, the girl chuckled.
However, seeing this, Finina didn't care much. Her eyes became brighter and brighter by the girl's tone and the content of her words.
"Emily, do you agree with me?"
After hearing Furninna's question, the girl opened her mouth and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
There was nothing she could do, Furninna could only watch the girl take back the words she was about to say, and then spoke softly.
"Please come in."
As the girl finished her words, the door was pushed open and two guards stood outside.
"Miss Emily, the Duke wants you to go to his office. He wants to discuss something with you."
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there in a minute."
"Ms. Emily, this matter is urgent. Please come with us immediately."
"it is good."
The girl nodded to the two of them, then glanced at Funina apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Lady Finina. If you have anything to say, please wait until I come back to talk."
Although she was very reluctant, Furninna didn't want to embarrass the girl because of her willfulness, so she finally had to say goodbye to the girl temporarily.
"...Okay, Emily, you should go early and come back early."
"Ah."
The girl smiled and nodded to Furninna, then followed the two guards out of the room.
Finina kept looking at the girl's back until she disappeared, then she threw herself on the bed, buried her head in the quilt, and slapped the pillow hard with her hands.
"Damn it, why did you come at this time instead of earlier or later!"
"When I leave Mellow Petersburg I must suggest to Leosley that you two clean toilets for a week!"
……
ps: I was originally planning to post only one chapter because I didn’t want to stay up late, but I still wrote it until now. I won’t delay it until the end of this month.
Chapter 44: Leosley: Even the machines betrayed me?
"My Lord the Duke is looking for me?"
The two guards only escorted the girl to the door and then let her go up by herself.
"Yes, I have something to ask you."
The moment Leosli saw the girl appear, he waved his hand, and then dozens of mechanical guards with heavy firepower surrounded the girl.
Leosli thought the girl would resist, but she just stood there calmly, smiling and continuing to look over here.
"The Duke's welcome ceremony was a little too enthusiastic."
"That's enough. I don't want to waste my time with you anymore."
Leosley interrupted the girl with a wave of his hand and continued.
"Although many people around me have been infiltrated by you, at least you can't control the mechanical guards who act according to your instructions!"
"Miss Emily, I advise you not to move."
"If you think these mechanical guards are just the same old stuff, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
"The weapons of the mechanical guards have been upgraded recently. If you move around, you might get hurt."
As Leosli explained, he slowly stood up from his seat and tightened the gloves on his hands. His sharp eyes were always watching the girl's every move, intending to put enough pressure on her.
