Chapter 569

~7 min read 1,353 words

Furina was slightly more at ease and said: "As for pain... hmm... although the first thought in my mind is indeed why I have to be the one to endure the pain... but, anyway, if the prophecy really comes true, I will die too, right? Not to mention that 'wonder' has already found me."

She gradually became firm and said softly: "If there is a balance, one end is the lives of all Fontaine people, and one end is my own pain, there's no need to think about which side the balance will tilt toward, right?"

The person in the mirror told Furina the 'method.'

Now Fontaine has just lost its Hydro Archon, and the person in the mirror wants her to play the god.

"You cannot let anyone doubt your identity. If you can do it, I have a way to counter the prophecy... but once your identity is exposed, the last hope will disappear."

"Remember, the problem before you is not how to explore divinity, but how to counter humanity."

"Uh... I might still not understand, but I will try to do it." Furina nodded nervously and asked: "Then, when will my role-playing as the Hydro Archon end?"

The person in the mirror said: "To complete this task, you might experience long years. Before the day it ends, you will not age."

"And I promise you, everything will end in a grand, dramatic trial, and everyone will be saved."

"A trial... truly exciting and expectant."

Court of Fontaine.

Regarding the prophecy crisis, all Fontaine people were looking at the light screen with solemn expressions.

Until now, emotional people already had eyes full of tears, and those with strong hearts also had red-rimmed eyes.

Furina is the Hydro Archon in the Court of Fontaine, but she is more like a big star.

Too many people don't know exactly how many great achievements the Hydro Archon Furina has.

And now, what they see is a 'human.'

At her young age, she bravely took on this task that could save the lives of all Fontaine people.

She is strong, even though she didn't know how long she would have to play the Hydro Archon, she still took on this heavy responsibility.

She is clearly just a human, yet she is doing things comparable to a god!

Act 2? Inaugural speech? Furina

Although the Palais Mermonia had long announced Furina's succession as Hydro Archon, this was the first time facing the public directly, and Furina was a bit nervous.

Furina gathered her courage and began her inaugural speech.

She performed very sincerely, stating that she was a new god and might not have much experience, but was honored to be able to guide everyone.

After a polite conclusion, Furina felt very satisfied.

But the public didn't buy it!

Some audience members mocked, some were disappointed, some suspected Furina was just a puppet pushed up!

Furina was very flustered in her heart; she absolutely could not be exposed, otherwise, everyone wouldn't be able to be saved from the prophecy!

Court of Fontaine.

"How could they be like this!" Someone roared with red eyes.

"What on earth were the ancestors of five hundred years ago doing?!" Someone asked loudly.

"I, I can understand it, at that period we had just lost the Hydro Archon and were in a state of panic. If the one who took office was a god who wasn't strong enough, then Fontaine..." Someone analyzed rationally.

"Understanding is understanding, it's just Lady Furina... wuwu... why let her suffer such grievances!" Someone was feeling sorry for their god.

Furina kept comforting herself in her heart, letting herself calm down.

Strong, having presence, the image that could dispel all doubts... she was destined to play that image.

With a train of thought, Furina's expression changed; she seemed to be a natural actor capable of taking on this heavy responsibility.

She performed a god who had confidence, courage, and was interesting.

For a time, the audience recognized and was gratified, and their views on her were reversed.

Being sincere would be met with suspicion, so Furina performed very exaggeratedly.

Being polite would also be met with suspicion, so Furina simply said: "There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by a trial, as long as you... my people, you firmly believe in justice in your hearts."

"As long as it is in this Opera Epiclese, before this Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, I, the god Focalors, can even judge the gods of the world!"

The heart-shaking conclusion made the audience extremely excited, and the scene was full of enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The newly appointed god was fully capable of leading them out of the panic and confusion of the previous Hydro Archon's demise!

Act 3? Opera House? Furina

Someone handed the case report and subsequent processing results to Furina, but Furina was not interested; she indicated that she was looking forward to a grand, dramatic, beautiful trial that could end everything.

That person couldn't guess, but Furina indicated that the trial she was looking forward to would come one day.

She remembered the audience who had an audience with her and even cared about the condition of the other party's son. That audience member said she was truly a gentle and wise god.

She cared about the prophecy crisis and had people start investigating, but some parameters were still not optimistic.

All kinds of omens were indicating that the prophecy would still happen.

Furina pretended that she had everything under control and rewarded their spirit.

This day finally ended.

Playing the Hydro Archon for a day didn't even have a moment to catch her breath.

However, what was gratifying was that it had slowly gotten on the right track, and there were no more voices of doubt.

Perhaps this is not bad; if it continues like this, everyone will be saved.

Furina told herself not to think too much; she had to continue playing the Hydro Archon tomorrow and needed to seize the time to rest.

Act 4? Opera House? Furina

Act 5? Opera House? Furina

Act 6? Opera House? Furina

Act 182,375? Opera House? Furina

The audience who talked to Furina at close range was very excited.

However, the audience asked very doubtfully: "Lady Furina, you... are you shedding tears?"

"Ah... G?"

Furina was somewhat stunned, then said as if nothing happened: "Sigh, I guess the Hydro element in my body is too full. Really can't help it, who told me to be the god in charge of the Hydro element?"

"So long... so lonely... how much longer..."

"Several hundred years have passed, right? Maybe this play will continue to be performed for several hundred years..."

"Never thought this process would be so painful..."

"Have I reached my limit... no, I should have reached my limit a long, long time ago. Today, I can't even notice myself shedding tears."

"I really want to confide in someone, even if it's just one person... but, that would be throwing away all my previous efforts."

"I've done so many investigations over several hundred years, but there is no hope of breaking through the prophecy..."

"Now, I can only continue to believe... that continuing to play the Hydro Archon is the only way to save Fontaine."

"Please, you must succeed, me in the mirror..."

Act 182,376? Opera House? Furina? And...

Lumine's voice came, telling Furina she didn't need to support it alone like this, her people would be very willing to share the burden with Furina.

But Furina hesitated.

"I am a witness, just confide in me," Lumine said.

"If it's you..."

Furina hesitated.

(She is right, if it's her, confiding shouldn't matter, right?)

(But... if everything doesn't develop as expected, the ones taking the risk are the people of all Fontaine...)

(No, Furina, you shouldn't be selfish...)

(But, what if it really doesn't matter?)

(Furina, you have already worked so hard for so long, being a little selfish is okay, right?)

(You are not doing anything too excessive, just finding a suitable person to confide your troubles and pain a little, it should be fine, right?)
