Yuto, who was inexplicably called out, sighed helplessly, but said nothing.
He indeed hadn't been fooled, because he knew the direction of all this from the very beginning.
Lord Neuvillette's many years of work as a judge automatically filtered out Focalors's last sentence, and he asked instead:
"The heavenly principles…?"
"It's that prophecy, it's very troublesome, right? Everyone will dissolve, Fontaine will be submerged…"
"When Egeria, the Water God before me, entrusted me with The Prophecy, I also thought... this is too tricky, isn't it?"
"But... in this process, Furina seems to have found an extraordinary person~"
Focalors said, her gaze fixed on Yuto, as if implying something.
Yuto, at this moment, took over the conversation, shaking his head gently.
"Without you... the outcome would not have changed. What should dissolve would dissolve, and what should collapse would collapse. You know better than I what the core of all this is."
Looking at Yuto, who spoke those words expressionlessly, Focalors suddenly felt a bit bored.
She sighed slightly, then smiled and said:
"Oh dear... it's already this time, why are you still so serious?"
"I am... very~ very~ very happy right now~"
"Only by deceiving the heavenly principles and allowing The Prophecy to unfold step by step can everyone in Fontaine be saved."
"Hmph... I'm truly a genius, and that's precisely why Egeria chose me as her successor, right~"
Focalors laughed as she walked with light steps to Neuvillette's side, as if the massive water element-blue sword hanging above her head didn't exist.
"However... she not only handed over the Water God's duty to me, but also the task of saving the nation and the original sin of 'creating humans' to me, her Dependents."
"But... everything is about to end."
"From today onwards, I believe that the people of Fontaine will no longer be troubled by the original sin of'stealing the power of the Primordial Sea,' and Fontaine... will break free from the deep waters."
Hearing this, Neuvillette raised an eyebrow in surprise, then asked:
"What... does this mean?"
Focalors turned slightly upon hearing this, and said with a light laugh:
"After becoming a God, I separated my 'divinity' from my body and spirit, leaving only myself, like a human who had just been created."
"The one standing before you is that 'divinity,' and my human self... I named her Furina."
...
Just as Focalors and Neuvillette were exchanging information under Yuto's gaze... Furina's consciousness slowly awakened.
She slowly raised her head, looking at the pitch-black Opera House around her. A hint of fear flashed in her beautiful heterochromatic eyes.
"So dark... Is this... the Opera House? Or... have I failed?"
As Furina thought this, she trembled slightly as she got up, placing her gaze on the stage in front of her.
Perhaps because the spotlights weren't on, Furina couldn't clearly see what was happening on the stage.
Clap—
Almost as soon as this thought formed in Furina's mind, a beam of light accurately shone on the center of the stage.
She saw two familiar figures.
One was herself, and the other... was Yuto.
As if a mechanism had been triggered, the figure of her on the stage suddenly asked:
"Your name is... Yuto? Hmm~ the cake you make is delicious. Do you want to come to Palais Mermonia with me? Just make me a cake every day."
"Lady Furina, I'm afraid that... doesn't conform to the rules, does it?"
"Palais Mermonia itself lacks a specialized pastry chef, so I'm just... looking for a pastry chef I like."
Hearing this, Yuto on the stage fell silent, then nodded after a long while.
From then on, Fontaine had one less exquisitely made cake shop, and Palais Mermonia... gained an excellent pastry chef.
Furina watched the gradually fading and finally disappearing figures, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"This is... my time with Yuto?"
Next, scenes flowed one after another, everything seemed to be fast-forwarded, finally stopping at... a book.
On the cover of this book were six characters: fontaine law Compendium.
As Furina slowly read these six characters in her mind, the book began to turn page by page.
Furina knew very well that this fontaine law Compendium was Yuto's painstaking work.
She heard the Licensed Agents say that the fontaine law Compendium basically considered every special application of law, and even... some very extreme situations were taken into account.
