"It seems I need to give you a lesson in royal etiquette management."

Furina smiled.

"Don't be so rigid, Clorinde. Who says a king must be very majestic?"

"This is my legendary, very approachable kingly way."

Clorinde remained unmoved.

"But your approachability is a bit too much. In short, you must learn the etiquette of being a king."

"Tsk..."

Furina wanted to argue, but a tall figure walked out of the darkness in front of her.

With a cold face, by comparison, the other party's kingly majesty was heavier.

Seeing Furina, Neuvillette bowed slightly.

"Ms. Furina, Ms. Clorinde, welcome back to Fontaine."

"Ms. Furina, your performance in the Shushan assessment has spread throughout Fontaine, and the people of Fontaine are proud of you."

"I am also deeply honored."

Furina raised her eyebrows and walked to Neuvillette's side with a smile.

Just as she was about to pat him on the shoulder and say he had never shown such a performance before.

Clorinde coughed and stared at Furina with a calm gaze.

"Tsk... being a king is really troublesome!"

Furina muttered, but it was heard by Neuvillette.

He couldn't help but look at Furina and Clorinde with confusion.

But this was clearly not the place to talk, so Neuvillette suppressed the confusion in his heart for the time being and said softly:

"Please go to the office to talk in detail. I believe you have many things to say."

Furina nodded calmly and smiled:

"We must talk, but before we talk, I have to call out a homebody to listen together!"

Furina passed Neuvillette and stared directly at the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

Taking a deep breath, Furina said loudly:

"Focalors! Stop hiding! Come out and listen to the story!"

Neuvillette was shocked.

"Focalors? Then who are you?"

249. Focalors: How did Furina become the King of Fontaine?

Unlike Neuvillette's confused expression, as if he had heard some shocking news.

Clorinde had known about many things for a long time, and now, she just stood quietly behind Furina.

Perfectly acting as the king's guard.

As for Focalors...

Clorinde respected her, but...

Fontaine can only have one king, and that is Furina!

"Ms. Clorinde, it seems you know many things..."

Neuvillette rubbed his temples with a headache.

He had expected Furina to come back and tell him about Shushan, and he would hear many shocking cultivation stories.

But...

This wasn't even about cultivation yet, how did such explosive news come up first?

Furina is not Focalors?

What is the situation in Fontaine, two gods?

Hearing Neuvillette's question, Clorinde nodded slightly, but didn't answer him.

Neuvillette wisely kept silent, watching Furina call for someone.

But after a long while, Focalors still didn't appear, and there was nothing in the opera house except for dead silence.

"Not coming out! Damn it! Are you disobeying the king's will!"

Furina pouted angrily, a scene that made Clorinde worry again.

Furina's training in royal etiquette should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"The king's will?"

Neuvillette became even more confused.

Did Furina go to cultivate when she went out?

How did she become a king so well?

By the way, whose king is she?

Neuvillette couldn't understand the strange changes in this world anymore.

Just then, Furina slowly raised her hand and pointed at the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

Her whole body was shining with golden light, as if she were a little golden man.

Illuminating the dim opera house brightly.

This was Neuvillette's perspective.

From Clorinde's perspective, the entire territory of Fontaine and the national destiny in the sky were all integrated with Furina without reservation.

At this moment, standing on the territory of Fontaine, she is Fontaine itself.

This is the power of the Son of Heaven Sealing God Technique.

Even in the early stages of cultivation, as a king, one has absolute control over one's territory.

This is a true cultivation art that, with the blessing of national destiny, can even allow one to fight across levels.

On the territory of Fontaine, it is not Furina who takes action, but the national destiny of Fontaine itself.

At the very least, Neuvillette and Focalors, who do not cultivate, cannot block it.

At this time, Neuvillette, who had just been a bit relaxed, only felt a whole mountain pressing on his back.

Focalors, hiding behind the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, also put away her casualness.

Looking at Furina with some solemnity.

She didn't understand, she was just an alternative, an attempt.

How could Furina become so strong in just a few days?

However, before she could react.

Furina's kingly majesty erupted, and the whole world seemed to be kowtowing.

Furina's voice was steady, but carried an irresistible power.

"The King says: Focalors, appear!"

The next moment, the power of Fontaine's national destiny intertwined, turning into a large hand, instantly reaching into the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

Dragging out Focalors, who was still confused.

Staring directly at Furina, Focalors seemed to see the phantom of the entire Fontaine.

At this moment, she represents Fontaine!

What the hell is this!

Focalors' mentality collapsed a bit.

Five hundred years of planning, and she was just blown up like this?

Five hundred years, all in vain?

At this moment, Focalors was a bit angry at the willful Furina.

But wanting to say something, looking at Furina, who was full of kingly majesty, Focalors subconsciously closed her mouth again.

For some reason, intuition told her that no matter what Furina said, she could not disobey.

And no matter what Furina did, she had to comply.

Focalors' mood became more and more complicated.

She always felt that things were a bit upside down.

Neuvillette, behind Furina, looked at Focalors, who looked exactly like Furina, with some shock.

Except for the different attire, Focalors had a bit more divinity.

The two were almost cut from the same mold.

Even Clorinde, who already knew some of the inside story, couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Just then, Clorinde's face darkened slightly.

"Hmph! I told you to come out yourself, but you forced this ruler to use her invincible power!"

Furina looked at Focalors with some triumph.

This could be considered a small revenge for the five hundred years of loneliness Furina had endured because of her.

"Lady Furina! A ruler is proud but not arrogant! Humble but not servile!"

"It seems your course on the royal mindset also needs to be put on the agenda."

Clorinde reminded Furina like an impartial etiquette officer.

The triumph Furina had just shown vanished without a trace.

She glared at Clorinde in annoyance.

"Damn it! As a ruler, why do I have so many rules! And! Aren't you a guard officer! Why are you managing etiquette now!"

Clorinde remained expressionless.

"Until your demeanor and mindset are adjusted to the state a ruler should have, I will voluntarily serve as your etiquette officer."

Furina pointed at Clorinde angrily, and seeing the latter about to say something else, she snorted and withdrew her hand.

"So... what exactly is going on? Can someone tell me?"

Neuvillette rubbed his brow, feeling a headache.

Furina said with a grin:

"Let's go, we'll talk in the office."

Having said that, she took the lead and walked toward the office.

Clorinde nodded to Focalors and followed Furina closely.

Neuvillette watched Focalors silently, and Focalors didn't make a sound either; before long, the two walked toward the office together.

Returning to the office after a long time, Furina sat down in the chair and casually crossed her legs.

"This won't do, Clorinde! My office doesn't look like a ruler's office at all; find a way to change it for me!"

"And at the Palais Mermonia, I want a dragon throne, no problem, right?"

Clorinde said calmly:

"As you wish, but Lady Furina..."

"A ruler does not cross their legs; please mind your demeanor."

Furina's face darkened, and she sat up straight again in silence.

Clorinde nodded with satisfaction and stood behind Furina to the side.

Furina looked at Neuvillette and Focalors opposite her, gave a dry cough, and feigned authority:

"Take a seat, Minister Neuvillette, Minister Focalors."

"..."

Focalors swallowed her urge to retort and sat down slowly.

Looking at the face identical to her own, Focalors always had four words floating in her mind.

The natural order is inverted.

If Furina didn't give her a satisfactory answer today for dragging her out of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, she wouldn't let it go so easily.

Five hundred years of planning!

What to do now?

Focalors thought about it and felt worried.

"So, first, Minister Focalors, explain our situation to Minister Neuvillette."

Clorinde sighed helplessly.

"Lady Furina, your royal authority doesn't start with changing titles; there's no need to be so deliberate."

Furina snorted.

"If you're so good at it, why don't you be the ruler!"

"Lady Furina, please don't say such things again; this is a sign of a ruler not taking responsibility."

Clorinde retorted calmly again, and Furina immediately held her little face in distress and shut her mouth.

Focalors, opposite her, met Neuvillette's confused gaze, sighed, and slowly began to explain her and Furina's plan.

Clorinde knew some of these things, but not very clearly.

Now that Focalors was explaining it herself, she was also somewhat shocked.

But then she felt even more pity for Furina and became even more certain.

Anyone who could lonely bear such a secret for five hundred years was undoubtedly the unquestionable ruler of Fontaine.

And Lady Furina...

Just needed some simple guidance.

Suddenly, Clorinde felt full of motivation.

She would personally guide Furina to become the one and only ruler of Fontaine throughout the ages!

Neuvillette, opposite, listened until he began to doubt his life.

He thought Furina was just unreliable, but he didn't expect that she wasn't the Hydro Archon at all.

So...

The whole of Fontaine, the whole world, had been deceived by Focalors and Furina?

Neuvillette wanted to be angry, but facing Focalors and Furina, he couldn't bear to be angry.

For the sake of Fontaine, one had decided to destroy herself five hundred years ago, and the other bore responsibilities that didn't belong to her, doing the work of a god as a human.

He had been played, but what did that matter?

Over the years, Neuvillette had also fallen in love with Fontaine from the bottom of his heart.

If it was for Fontaine, he would gladly accept this deception.

Just...

"Regarding the situation of Focalors and Lady Furina, let's put that aside for now, but now..."

Neuvillette pursed his lips and looked at Furina with worry.

"Although I am unwilling to accept such a sacrificial plan, but..."

"The prophecy crisis hasn't been resolved, and the Primordial Sea is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. Without the original plan, how are we supposed to face the prophecy crisis?"

Speaking of this, Focalors also looked at Furina with rare anger.

Although only those present knew about this, strictly speaking, it could still be executed, continuing to deceive the Heavenly Principles.

But...

Neuvillette already knew the plan; would he continue to follow the original plan?

Don't look at him as cold, but Neuvillette wasn't heartless.

Furina snorted and said proudly:

"Isn't it just a mere prophecy crisis?"

"You two are the pillars of Fontaine; how can you sacrifice one person for a small prophecy crisis?"

"This ruler swears to you that under the radiance of my light, Fontaine will never lose a single person to this joke of a prophecy crisis!"

These words inexplicably gave Neuvillette and Focalors a strong sense of reassurance.

But...

After reacting, they felt it was even more unreliable.

Why does this Furina keep saying "this ruler" every other sentence?

Focalors didn't understand; she had only been out for a few days, so how did she become the ruler of Fontaine?

Had she been notified of this?

Her Hydro Archon position hadn't shattered yet, right?

"Lady Furina, now is not the time for jokes."

Neuvillette rubbed his brow, feeling a headache.

"Let's talk about the ruler thing later."
