The Water Dragon King Shocks All of Teyvat!
Fontaine — Palais Mermonia
Furina and Neuvillette were enjoying a very elegant tea time.
One drank coffee with delicate pastries.
One sipped refined water imported from Qingce Village.
Both quietly watched the Light Screen's broadcast.
A perfect, relaxing afternoon—
until suddenly…
"What?"
"Fontaine!?"
Furina shot up from her seat in pure panic.
Could it be—
was she about to be reviewed?!
No no no no no… absolutely not!!
The Traveler hadn't even reached Fontaine yet!
The Great Trial hadn't even begun!!
If her real identity were exposed before then—
Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
But the next second, new words appeared:
[Chief Justice of Fontaine — Neuvillette]
[President of the Spina Di Rosula — Navia]
"…Huh?"
"Not me?"
Furina froze. Then slowly, clutching her chest:
"Haaah— safe."
She nearly collapsed in relief.
But joy didn't follow—
only a deep exhaustion.
Living every day afraid her secret will be exposed…
She was so tired.
Traveler… please come to Fontaine soon…
"Lady Furina?"
"Are you troubled by something?"
Neuvillette noticed her dazed look.
"H-how could I be troubled? I am the God of Justice—Focalors!"
Hands on hips. A forced, proud stance.
Neuvillette's expression said he didn't buy it.
So Furina's brain rushed to change the subject:
"A-Ahem! I was just thinking—you're being reviewed today!"
"What kind of improper content will they reveal~?"
Her eyes gleamed with mischievous excitement.
The idea of the always-serious Chief Justice…
getting clowned on the Light Screen?
Delicious.
Neuvillette: "…"
He chose to ignore her teasing.
"Surely Lady Furina should care more about the reward."
"If I or Miss Navia obtained the right power,
we may resolve the prophecy crisis entirely."
BAM.
Furina snapped out of her chaos.
Right—
Light Screen reviews grant powerful boons!
If this brought a real solution,
they may not need the Grand Trial…
Her eyes sparkled.
Immediately she rushed over to pour Neuvillette another glass of water:
"Hehehe! Chief Justice, chanson of Fontaine's future!"
"All our hopes rest on YOU!"
Neuvillette: "…"
Fontaine — White Glove Estate, Spina di Rosula HQ
Navia, along with her butler and staff, stared at the Light Screen.
"Fontaine? And… me?"
She couldn't hide the surprise.
Miles: "Congratulations, milady! Maybe the truth about your father can now come to light."
Silver: "And you might receive a powerful reward! Two blessings in one!"
Navia's pupils shook.
Her father died falsely accused in the Serial Disappearances Case.
She spent years trying to uncover the truth—
with nothing.
But if the Light Screen knew the truth of all things—
This was her chance.
Her expression hardened with determination.
But then a thought struck her—
and her brow twitched:
"…There will… also be a 'not-serious evaluation' afterwards, right?"
Miles & Silver fell silent in dread.
They both knew the answer:
Yes. Definitely yes.
Navia glanced at their reactions…
Then suddenly smiled.
"If it's unavoidable, then I shall face it proudly."
"For my father—any price is worth paying."
"Besides… I'm a bit curious what 'improper gossip' they can dig up about me~"
Miles & Silver exchanged a look—
Their lady is strong.
Spina di Rosula's future was bright.
Super Dimensional Chat Group
Jean: Not Inazuma nor Sumeru… Fontaine?
Ningguang: So a country won't be reviewed twice in a row.
Ei: Then I must wait.
Sara: But soon, Shogun-sama. Soon!
Xiangling: But Sumeru hasn't gotten any review at all…
Zhongli: Either randomness… or deliberate avoidance.
Zhongli (stops speaking)
Everyone understood.
Barbara: Imprisoning your own Archon?? Ak-47 justice incoming!
Xiao: Disrespecting their God—punishment is deserved.
Cloud Retainer: If Liyue did that, we Adepti would wage sanction ourselves!
Keqing, Ningguang, Ganyu: (silently sweating)
Childe: In Snezhnaya such a thing would NEVER stand!
Sara: …cannot respond to that…
Lumine: Hey hey—don't confuse Sumeru with Inazuma!
Paimon: Yeah! Inazuma just wanted their God to stop messing up!
Meanwhile Sumeru did actual blasphemy!
Ei: Errors have been rectified. No grudges remain.
Sara: Thank you, Shogun-sama… Traveler, Paimon…
Leaks: (Fontaine officers look away nervously…)
Sumeru members stayed silent.
Because every word spoken was true.
Sanctuary of Surasthana
Nahida smiled a little…
then felt her chest ache.
Others defended her…
Her own people did not.
But—
She clenched her fist.
"I will never again allow the Akademiya to harm Sumeru."
Her resolve began evolving.
Lumine quickly diverted the tense topic:
Lumine: No point worrying—we'll be reviewed sooner or later!
Venti: Hehe, agreed! Back to today's stars~
Furina: Highest Judge + Secret Society Lady? Entertainment guaranteed!
Paimon: YEAH!!
Wriothesley: I wanna see Neuvillette's silly side!
Sigewinne: You will be disappointed! He is always serious!!
Charlotte: Either way—BIG NEWS!
Yoimiya: They're totally related! Their names sound like cousins!
Alice: Yep. Both are "Nawei" family~
Neuvillette: …
Navia: …
The mood lightened—
Until…
Saino: Is it that people in Fontaine…
don't recognize Navia?
Clorinde: Huh? Miss Navia is quite well-known.
Charlotte: I've interviewed her before!
Saino: But whenever they meet her, they'll say:
"Hello, Na-wei ya?"
(Hello, who are you?)
Clorinde: …
Charlotte: …
Navia: …
Saino: Not funny?
Everyone: …
Gandharva Ville
Collei shivered.
"Cold… So cold…"
Even Tighnari sighed heavily:
"This is just his beginning… you'll see when he's reviewed."
One cold joke
and the entire chat froze.
Unmatched power.
The true Topic Terminator.
Thankfully—
the Light Screen moved.
Arthur's Stream
Arthur reviewed the frozen chat and smirked.
"As expected from the Cold Joke King."
He then began the formal introduction:
"There are two reasons I review Neuvillette and Navia together—
Their similar names…"
"…and a delightful future link between them."
The audience leaned forward—
A link? What kind of link??
A picture of Neuvillette appeared.
"First—The Chief Justice."
"Neuvillette—
Second Water Dragon King of Teyvat."
"Over 400 years ago,
invited to Fontaine by Water Archon Focalors."
"He has served as Chief Justice ever since—
Upright, unwavering, the symbol of Fontaine's justice."
Second Water Dragon King.
Focalors invited him.
The revelation hit like a tidal wave—
And every nation in Teyvat exploded.
