Fontaine Grand Stage, come if you are destined to

After a long while, Funina finally adjusted her attitude and spoke.

"And the reason I came to this place is to deal with an important matter."

"As for what it is, you don't need to know."

Most of the people present did not believe what Funina said, and this attitude made them feel extremely angry.

"No one will believe your excuse!"

"You are a god, but you dare not admit it."

"But it is true. Everyone has witnessed your performance over the past five hundred years. It is understandable that you would shirk your responsibilities in this way."

"You can't see that the workers are being exploited, you can't see that people are starving to death on the streets because of lack of food, and you can't see that tens of thousands of people in the Gray River are living in darkness!"

"Although they have recently returned to live on the ground, this matter has nothing to do with you, the water god!"

"You are completely blind to the pain that we mortals go through, and you live like a celebrity every day. Most of the people in Fontaine are more like your fans than your believers!"

"And you just sat high up at the trial, watching the extremely painful experiences of the parties involved as a stage play, and even commenting on them!"

"Lord Water God, Lady Funina, please tell me!"

“If they hadn’t experienced pain and despair, how many people would still be standing here, or even continue to live in this nominal prison in Mellow Petersburg?!”

The man snorted coldly, then continued.

"For people like us, prison is more like paradise than the outside world. This is the biggest joke in the world!"

The man's words resonated strongly among the crowd. Fontaine was different from many countries, where people were divided into different classes from the moment they were born.

If you are the child of a criminal, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to obtain Fontaine citizenship in your lifetime. This means that you are an illegal resident and cannot even enjoy a normal life.

If this is all Fontaine can do, then they will just accept their fate, since they were born in such a country and in such a low-class family.

However, after arriving at the prison of Mellow Petersburg, they finally realized that it was not that Fontaine could not get better, but the indifference and inaction of those in power.

As the water god who governs the entire Fontaine and the most powerful person, all the hatred towards others will eventually be directed at Funina.

"He's right. You haven't fulfilled your duties as the God of Water. You don't deserve to be the God of Fontaine!"

Everyone's emotions were stirred up, and their faces showed some anger. Some even pressed forward towards Funina.

Charlotte stepped forward and was about to say something to persuade him, but after experiencing the Grey River incident herself, she knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. The class stratification in Fontaine was very serious, even to the point where even the Melusin race was affected.

Charlotte could not imagine that there was class discrimination within the beautiful Melusin race before she knew this.

"I……"

Feeling the accusatory gazes of the crowd, Furninna couldn't help but take a step back. A trace of guilt appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

Furnin knew that she was incompetent as the water god, but she was just an ordinary person who only liked to watch plays, taste cakes and drink black tea. All she could do was to hand over the governance of Fontaine to capable people.

But Navilette was still in the exploratory stage when it came to state governance, and those nobles had their own selfish desires. Seeing the darkness hidden in their hearts through their smiling faces was exactly what Navilette was not good at.

Of course, Finina knew that even if she did all this, she would still not be a competent god.

But she was not a god, and she was already exhausted from playing the role of the water god. As for other things, she was really powerless.

Finina didn't want to be the water god at first, but she had no choice from the beginning.

And Furninna couldn't say any of these things, not even words of submission, because the gods would not be wrong.

Finally, Funina resisted the urge to retreat, calmed herself down a bit, and spoke to everyone.

"If you have any demands, you can sort them out and give them to Leosili. I will go to Leosili to understand the situation when I have time."

"What's the point of you saying this now?!"

"It's too late! It's too late!"

The man yelled angrily.

"No matter what you do now, the pain we have endured will not be reduced in the slightest!"

"You murderer, stop pretending to sympathize with us!"

"You don't understand the pain of ordinary people like us!"

"Sir, don't come any closer."

The girl stood in front of Finina, blocking all the malicious gazes from all around her, and gestured to the crowd at the same time.

Soon, several people with mutual aid association badges came jogging over and stopped the others.

"Everyone please calm down. If you have any questions, we can discuss them calmly."

"Yes, I know everyone has unhappy pasts in their hearts, but this won't solve any problems!"

"Although our past cannot be changed, we can work together to prevent people like us from appearing in the future!"

The members of the mutual aid society tried their best to calm everyone down, and the guards reacted belatedly and also worked with the members of the mutual aid society to maintain order.

Of course this doesn't mean they are on Furninna's side, but it is their duty.

It was not known whether the mutual aid members' words of persuasion had worked, or because of their instinctive fear of the guards, but everyone stopped and no longer advanced towards Funina, but they still looked at Funina with some unfriendly eyes.

"Miss Emily, are you really going to betray us and stand on the side of the Water God?"

Faced with the man's questioning, the girl just smiled.

"We are all Fontaine people, and we are all loyal to the gods of our country. How can we talk about betrayal?"

"Besides, you haven't answered my previous question yet."

"You have a close relationship with them, so you should know why they are here."

"More than a dozen people used their special vouchers to be exempted from today's labor, but instead of going to watch the fight in the Fist Arena like everyone else, they gathered in this remote place..."

"This kind of thing is not important at all!"

The man interrupted the girl with some emotion.

"Miss Emily, don't change the subject!"

"This matter has nothing to do with the case at all!"

"Yeah."

The girl smiled, and there was a deep meaning in her smile.

"Well, let's just take it as it is."

"But I have evidence to prove that Lady Funina is indeed not the murderer."

At this time, Tartaglia was a little distracted. No matter how he looked at Furninna, she did not have the bearing of a god.

Any other god, even a more merciful one, would not allow his people to question him so aggressively.

Is the god of Fontaine so easy to talk to? He doesn't even get angry when being accused by ordinary people?

Or he could just try to trade the Heart of God with the other party. Even if the other party disagrees, at least he won't be beaten half to death by the other party for bringing this up.

Tartaglia thought about how Rosaline had easily obtained the Heart of the God of Rock, while he had worked so hard and gained nothing, and was even held accountable.

This method seems to be pretty good, why don’t he try it?

Just as Tartaglia was daydreaming, Finina heard that Emily was about to tell the secret, and she immediately became anxious and quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Wait, wait a minute, Emily!"

The girl chuckled, looked at Funina and shook her head.

"Don't worry Lady Funina, I know."

"Leave it to me from now on."

After saying that, the girl turned her gaze back to the man.

"Since this is Fontaine, let's use Fontaine's rules to resolve the matter here."

"We are holding a [trial] here for this murder."

"And here everyone except us acts as the judge, and it is up to them to judge the rationality of the reasoning."

After hearing the girl's words, the man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to the other party's proposal.

This rule is in his favor. Most of the people here hate Funina and will definitely lean towards him emotionally.

"Emily, is this okay?"

Finina asked the girl in a low voice, saying that if she didn't tell the secret, she didn't know how the girl would prove her innocence.

"Yes, it's no problem Lady Funina."

The girl smiled and nodded to Furninna to reassure her.

"I promise you, I will prove your innocence."

"Okay, I believe you."

Furninna spoke seriously, choosing to believe the other party.

Although many people were surprised that things turned out like this, they quickly accepted it because this is Fontaine.

Only Tartaglia, a foreigner, was full of doubts, but no one cared about his thoughts.

With the consent of both parties, this unique [trial] in Mellow Petersburg began...

ps: I can’t hold on any longer. I haven’t finished writing the next chapter yet. I’ll just post 5,000 words today and then I’m going to sleep.

Chapter 47: Funina chooses to believe

The trial began near the crime scene, and people could even smell the lingering smell of blood in the air.

Everyone present formed a circle and looked at the girl standing in the middle with Furninda with mixed feelings.

In Melo Petersburg, the girl had a high reputation, even very close to the position of Leosli in their minds. Her powerful strength and unforgettable appearance attracted countless people.

However, the other party now stood on the side of the incompetent god Furninna, making them feel betrayed by the other party.

Many people blamed their current situation on Funina, so they had no respect for the water god of Fontaine, only indifference and even hatred.

Many of them also heard that the reason the girl came to Melopensky was related to Funina, and they didn't understand why the girl believed in Funina so firmly.

The man who was accusing was confronting the girl and Funina not far away.

Compared with Finina and the girl, not far behind the man were the people who served as judges in this [trial], which also represented the inner thoughts of the vast majority of people.

The guards formed a circle inside and maintained order at the scene.

What surprised Tartaglia was that these guards seemed to listen to the girl very much and even conducted such an important matter as the [Trial] in private without any intention of reporting it to Leosli.

However, Tartaglia did not ask any questions, but just acted as an ordinary spectator, quietly waiting for the development of things.

At the same time, Tartaglia was also a little excited. Although what was happening before his eyes was not a battle between strong men, the [Judgment] issued by the people against the gods of their country was also quite interesting!

He had never seen this before, or even heard of it, so now was a good time to open his eyes!

The environment of the temporary trial venue was not very good, but the solemn atmosphere of this trial was even greater than that of most trials conducted under the witness of the Cardinal of Decree.

"I will record what happened here truthfully. I believe it will be able to provide a reference for Mr. Villette during the formal trial."

Charlotte looked at the situation at the scene with extremely complicated eyes. Although she also believed that Funina would not do such a thing, as a reporter, her more important task at the moment was to record from the perspective of an observer.

Facing such a scene, Funina was a little nervous, but after feeling the girl's strength in her hands, her heart gradually calmed down. After adjusting her state, she spoke to the man.

"I admire your courage in accusing me, but you are doomed to fail in this trial."

"I would never kill these people. No matter what I say, you don't believe me, a god. So let me explain the truth to you!"

"But by then, it has been confirmed that your accusation was just your own malicious speculation, and your actions have caused immeasurable damage to my reputation as a god."

"So what price will you pay?"

In response to Funina's question, the man just smiled contemptuously.

"Don't worry, Lord Water God. I have already realized it."

"If it is proven that you did not do this, I am willing to take responsibility for my actions."

"I'll be there for my brothers."

Hearing the other party's extremely firm words, Funina's heart trembled.

"Well, I don't think I'd have to make such a decision..."
