Chapter 93

【The truth was all along like this.】

【Su Bai finally regained his composure.】

【He looked at Furina, slumped in the chair.】

【He bent down and placed his hand on Furina's face.】

【Forced out a faint smile.】

【"It's okay..."】

【"I won't let execution happen."】

【"If need be, I'll take you away from Fontaine. We'll rebuild our memories together."】

【Su Bai gently wiped away Furina's tears.】

【Suddenly.】

【All surrounding noise vanished without a trace.】

【The atmosphere in the room became eerily quiet.】

【And oppressive.】

【"This is..."】

【Su Bai looked around.】

【"An opera house?"】

【Tap-tap-tap...】

【Light footsteps caught his attention.】

【Looking up, he saw a small figure at the center of the stage.】

【"Water God?" Su Bai blinked: "Water God!"】

【After calling out.】

【Furina paid him no mind, walking steadily toward the mirror at the stage's center.】

【Only when she reached the mirror.】

【Furina let out a startled cry: "Huh? Who, who called me? Where are you?"】

Chapter 65: Five Hundred Years of Devotion, All Ashamed

Truth Revealed?

Does proving Furina isn't the Water God count as revealing the truth?

Lumine's lips curled in triumph.

The real story has only just begun.

And from Su Bai's final words, it's not hard to tell.

He believed Furina had lost certain memories—and even changed her personality—after giving her power to the Oracle Tribunal.

Merely from this, it's easy to deduce the two had once been connected.

Yet Furina had never, in five hundred years, suffered any memory loss.

The only remaining answer, ~one.

Su Bai mistook Furina for Focalors in the mirror.

That's why he never called her Furina.

Either Water God, or Fucalos.

Lumine's gaze slipped sideways, stealing a glance at Su Bai, whose face remained calm.

Now, what will you do?

Dear.

【"I'm behind you." Su Bai flashed behind Furina.】

【Unfortunately, her gaze still swept the surroundings, never turning—like she hadn't heard a thing.】

【"I'm here."】

【Su Bai, helpless, stepped in front of Furina.】

【Yet Furina still acted as if she saw nothing, frantically searching for the voice she claimed to hear.】

【Her face filled with tension and panic.】

【"Don't be nervous. Don't be afraid. I'm right in front of you."】

【In an instant.】

【The voice from the mirror echoed throughout the opera house.】

【Su Bai froze, his pupils dilating endlessly.】

【He slowly turned around—and when he saw the figure in the mirror, his lips trembled uncontrollably.】

【"Fu..."】

【"Fucalos..."】

Huanglong Yidou: "Hmm..."

Jiuqi Ren: "Boss, what's your take?"

Huanglong Yidou: "Hmm..."

Toma: "He clearly didn't understand."

Wulang: "I guessed so too."

Huanglong Yidou: "He really didn't get it—is the person in the mirror also Furina? Isn't Fucalos the Archon name of the Water God? What's going on here?"

Shinri Ayaka: "I feel like Furina-san's voice has changed—I mean, the Furina-san in the mirror."

Amber: "Why are their clothes different in the mirror? It's so eerie."

Colette: "The Furina in the mirror sounds more intellectual and gentle."

Navia: "This... what on earth is going on..."

Clopinde: "Mr. Su Bai, I feel his pupils have dilated—he seems to have seen something terrifying."

Navellet: "No, he must have seen the person he truly sought—the true Water Archon, Fucalos."

Alice: "Huh? Are you saying Mr. Su Bai has been mistaken all these centuries? The woman he loved isn't Furina?"

Lisa: "No wonder Mr. Su Bai insisted on rebuilding memories with Furina—he knew Fucalos, and how could Furina know anything about him and Fucalos?"

【"Eh?"】

【Furina stared at the woman appearing in the mirror, curious yet fearful.】

【Though their attire and hairstyles differed, it was clear the woman in the mirror was herself.】

【"No no no, this isn't right, what's going on?"】

【"You... are you me from the mirror?"】

【Furina rushed to the mirror, studying Fucalos within with intense curiosity.】

【Even their hair spikes were identical.】

【The only difference was the other's expression, which appeared noticeably more mature.】

【"Hmm, this way of addressing is fine—I am you from the mirror."】

【Fucalos rested one hand on her hip, casually waved the other, and smiled with half-lidded eyes.】

【Every motion exuded elegance and nobility.】

Shinri Ayaka: "Mmm, so she's Fucalos? Does that mean she's the true Water Archon?"

Shanhu Gong Xin Hai: "Indeed, she is the Water Archon—every gesture and posture radiates elegance and nobility. No wonder Mr. Su Bai was so captivated."

Paimon: "Furina is cute too!"

Lumine: "Yes, Furina is cute too, right, you over there?"

Su Bai: "Of course, of course—Furina is absolutely adorable."

Furina: "Hey, you two lovebirds, stop teasing me now—it's embarrassing!"

【"Me from the mirror, what... what do you want from me?"】

【Furina was still in a daze.】

【She asked her mirror self.】

【The reflection calmly replied: "Have you ever heard of a prophecy?"】
