Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Chapter 432: Prison, long time no see

"Alechino, you will eventually regret your decision today!" Dainsleb's eyes were wide open, and his voice was full of threats and anger.

"Hmph! Dainsleb, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I am the real Red Moon survivor!" Alechino hit back without showing any weakness.

The two of them exchanged sharp words, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. In the end, they each said something harsh and then turned away, leaving behind an awkward silence.

In fact, Alecino knew the real purpose of Deinsleb. She knew that he wanted to win her over to his side, but she didn't know the specific intention.

Despite this, Alecino resolutely chose to refuse, because she was unwilling to become a sword wielded at will by others.

In this complex world, there are only a handful of people who can drive Arlecino to action.

One of them is her current boss, the Ice Queen.

This majestic ruler possesses great power and supreme authority, and Alecino has served under him for a long time.

Another person who can make Arlecchino obey orders is the general officer [clown] Piero.

This person is also very clever and scheming, making him difficult to understand.

However, even in the face of these two influential figures, Arlecchino was not entirely willing to be used.

What exists between them is more of an exchange of interests. They depend on each other and take what they need.

Although the Ice Queen treated Alecino well and even cared for her sincerely, Alecino still had her own persistence and plans deep in her heart.

Now, her heart belongs to Furninna, and one day, she will bid farewell to winter and embark on her own path.

Ice Queen: You are awesome! I was here first! Woohoo, my most reliable subordinate is going to be gone/(tot)/~~

Piero: No, I am so big, where is Alechino? The evil Fontaine water god!

At this moment, the [clown] Piero, who was far away in winter, suddenly sneezed, and this movement made the [girl] Columbia beside him extremely surprised.

"I didn't expect you would get sick? Do you need me to treat you?"

Columbia closed her eyes, but she was talking to Piero, as if she could feel everything and everyone around her without opening her eyes.

Faced with Columbia's kindness, Piero shook his head. His old face was extremely calm, but his voice carried a hint of doubt.

"I am cursed and have long since left the realm of humanity. The disease cannot stay on me. I think it must be an accident."

Piero's voice was deep, and he seemed to have figured it out himself.

Seeing Piero say this, Columbia just nodded lightly, then she continued to lie on the table and hummed ethereal music.

However, Piero obviously would not let Columbia be so idle, after all, this man has been idle for hundreds of years.

"How's it going with Alechino?"

Piero asked.

"Well... everything went well. The [Young Master] came back a few days ago and reported on his situation in Fontaine. Alechino is really working hard~"

"Sometimes I think, if she wasn't a member of the Fatui, she would have become a great diplomat, right? Or, a gentle director of an orphanage..."

Columbia raised a loving smile on her face, and her slender white fingers tapped lightly on the crystal table top.

"Gentle... Hehe, this doesn't really fit the image she created! She doesn't need gentleness as a cover, it will only make her look easy to bully. What Arlechino needs is fear from others, otherwise she wouldn't be called a crazy [servant]."

Piero sneered as if he had heard a joke and refuted Columbia's words.

"Yes, of course I know. That's why we sealed her past and let her defile herself. But I didn't expect that [Doctor] Dottore was too obsessed with her. He wasted too much time and energy on Alechino."

When mentioning Dotorre, Columbia's tone suddenly turned cold, but soon returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion.

But Piero could still hear Columbia's dissatisfaction with Dottore. He shook his head helplessly and said, "That's why Her Majesty is so angry. He should have been a proud genius scholar, but now he has done many irrational things."

"Her Majesty's patience with him has been declining, especially after learning of Dotore's ambition to get involved in Scarlet Moon... Otherwise, why would the two of us come here?"

After he finished speaking, Piero turned slightly and looked at the silent [Doctor] Dottore.

This is another laboratory of Dotore, and it is also his residence. As a scholar and researcher, Dotore combines his residence and laboratory together to facilitate his research.

Moreover, the lounge here is not simple. After all, he is currently the second-in-command of the executive department. How could his lounge be simple?

Dotore felt two pairs of eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Two terrifying auras filled the lounge.

One is full of despair and chaos, but also has a hint of peace.

The other one was as biting as a cold wind, but the owner of this breath happened to be Columbia, an extremely kind person.

Of course, Dotore knew why these two came, and he also knew that his future situation would become extremely bad, but he could not leave Zhidong because Alechino was ready to kill him at any time.

Without the protection of the Ice Queen, he would probably die at the hands of Alecino in less than a day.

"Dottore, you've crossed the line."

Piero spoke calmly, and although no emotion could be heard from him, Dottore was very uneasy.

"The Queen has high hopes for Arlecino, and I also regard her as her successor. But you, the second executive officer [Doctor] Dotore! You tried to get involved in a power that you shouldn't touch, and secretly made slices of Arlecino..."

"Her Majesty is very disappointed in you, Dotore."

As Piero spoke, he walked towards Dottore and finally stopped a few steps away from him.

At this distance, as long as Piero wants, Dottore will be divided into seven parts within three seconds.

"I...I know I was wrong."

Dotore had no intention of defending himself, because the arrival of the two people in front of him made him know the attitude of the Ice Queen.

Her Majesty did not care about his reasons or purposes, She was just angry because he did something he shouldn't have done.

[The Clown] and [The Girl], as partners of Her Majesty the Queen, have a different status from subordinates like him.

They can represent the will of the Ice Queen, and Dotole and others are just the practitioners of the Ice Queen's will.

After all, how can partners and subordinates be equal?
