Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

"It's the Hearth House... Those children knew that His Highness was about to travel far away, so they specially prepared a program for this."

……

The Hearth House is essentially an intelligence agency that trains spies, but Su Yu prefers another name for it, the Winter Country Welfare Home, because it has adopted a large number of orphans from Teyvat.

In this cold country, this is one of the few places Su Yu likes to frequent.

In addition to receiving cruel training every day, the happiest thing for the children here is to sit around His Highness the Prince and listen to him telling legendary stories of various heroes, such as the Monkey King who fought against the sky, which is their favorite.

In fact, the children of Hearth House regarded His Royal Highness as a great hero and followed his example in training and studying hard. When they heard that His Highness was about to go abroad on a mission, they immediately organized a farewell program.

When Su Yu stepped onto the threshold of the orphanage, thunderous applause was like an endless tide. In addition to fanatical admiration, there was also a lot of reluctance in the children's eyes.

After watching the children's performance, it was almost noon. They were able to occupy His Highness the Prince's precious time at will. Only this group of children enjoyed this honor during the entire winter.

Before leaving, Su Yu sent a message to the children.

"I am a wounded wolf who has been betrayed by the entire world. We will eventually build a new world where no one will betray us."

"If you are also burdened with dreams that cannot be tolerated and injuries that cannot be eliminated, then join us and let the military boots shake the earth like thunder."

Outside the door, an executive with short silver hair and codename [Servant] stared at Su Yu and stood respectfully.

As the founder of the Hearth House, every time Her Royal Highness condescends to come, she will personally accompany her no matter how busy she is, and this time is no exception.

When Su Yu finished speaking, the enthusiasm and admiration in her eyes was no less than that of the children - even though the blood-red cross pattern in her black pupils made her look a little feminine.

Chapter 3 The Executive’s Gift

"Arecchino, my visit has not been made public yet, but the children got the news immediately. It was you who revealed my itinerary. In other words, you used the children to attract me here. What do you want to do?"

Su Yu bluntly exposed her plan.

[Servant] Arecino, who dared to confront several other executives, lowered his proud head with a guilty conscience.

"Hearth House has provided a large number of talents to the empire in the past, but I have never seen any generation of children with such rock-solid beliefs and such a strong sense of belonging as this group of children. In the past, the children called this place Welfare home, they now call this place home, and all this is due to you, Your Highness, and the children deserve to see you off."

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Hearing this, Arecino, who had always been calm and composed, had a trace of panic on his face.

"His Royal Highness is on a busy trip this time and may not be able to return in the short term. I would like to take this opportunity to see you again... I'm sorry, it's my selfishness that disturbs His Highness."

Su Yu waved his hand, and a miniature barrier composed of magic elements blocked the conversation between the two.

"Why act so humble in front of the children? I can only be regarded as their spiritual mentor, and you are their real parents. In order to maintain the dignity of your parents, I hope you will not apologize to anyone from now on, because in In children’s minds, parents never make mistakes, do you understand?”

[Servant] Arecino had tears in his eyes. The reason why His Highness the Prince is loved by others is not only because of his unparalleled ability to govern the country, but also because of his unparalleled charisma.

"Also, Arecino, what I like is your free and easy personality. You don't need to please anyone, whether it's the Queen or me. Do what you think is right and stick to what you think is right. Point of view. You are codenamed [Servant], but no one is qualified to be your master."

"You, Arecino, are your own master."

Regarding [Servant] Arlecino, Su Yu's emotions are more complicated. Different from [Girl] Colombia's simplicity, Arlecino's character is multi-faceted. The establishment of the orphanage shows that she is compassionate and conscientious, but she is different from the simplicity of [Girl] Colombia. At the same time, Dadalia also called her a madman and said that she would not hesitate to draw a sword against the queen for profit, which Su Yu did not deny.

But it is this ambition that proves that she is a unique executive in the world.

Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls can only be found in thousands. There is no doubt that in Su Yu's eyes, Arecino is that interesting soul.

As for Arecino's feelings for him, Su Yu treated them cautiously, with an attitude of neither being perfunctory nor taking them seriously. Women were easily dazzled by love, and he didn't want Arecino to be overwhelmed by love. To give birth to hatred and take an extreme path.

In fact, Arecino has always met Su Yu's definition of a "cold lady". Who would refuse to like a cold lady.

But what Su Yu was not sure about was whether that feeling was mixed with fanaticism and blind worship, or whether it was used for profit.

So until then, it's best to keep things as they are.

Time will eventually tell everything.

"Take care of the kids for me."

After leaving the Fireplace House, Su Yu gently rubbed his temples to relax.

The one-day preparation time is indeed a bit rushed. Long-distance travel is always so troublesome. Maybe you can travel light this time?

Thinking about the itinerary in his mind, he returned to his home without realizing it, leaving a long string of footprints behind him, which reminded Su Yu of his home on earth...

Su Yu's current home is located next to the Winter Palace. It is a huge mansion with as many as five or six hundred servants inside.

Originally, according to the Queen's will, he could move into the palace, but in order to avoid rumors outside, he chose this place.

The armored guards at the door knelt down to him, their voices uniform.

"His Royal Highness."

Su Yu's strength is no longer what it used to be. He is no longer in the same situation as he was when he first arrived three years ago. He now does not need any guards to protect his safety. However, the guard system is a tradition of Zhi Dong, and even the Zhi Winter Palace has them. garnish.

The mighty guards, courteous maids, and groups of servants are always symbols of royal and aristocratic status.

Su Yu's eyes fell on the eight or nine carriages at the door. Apparently there were guests at home.

"Your Highness, Mr. [Harlequin], Mr. [Doctor], Mr. [Cock], Mr. [Puppet], Mr. [Rich Man], Mr. [Lady]... several executive officers are all here. They are in the living room. Awaiting your reception."

"It's really lively today. Anyway, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go see what gifts my old friends have prepared for me."

Su Yu knew this group of greedy executives very well. On weekdays, they were all calculating and penny-pinching, asking him for help at every turn. Now that he was about to visit the other six countries, these guys would definitely not come empty-handed. In their opinion, this should be The best time to invest in His Royal Highness.

It's time to show their "friendship" generously.

As His Royal Highness the Prince appeared, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

[Rooster] As the mayor, Puccinella presented a Teyvat travel map on behalf of the city hall. This is not an ordinary travel map. It has detailed marks on the secret strongholds set up by the Fools everywhere. With this map, Su Yu can easily contact organizations everywhere.

[Master] Dadalia sent a painting, which depicts a tall one-eyed baby. The author is Dadalia's favorite brother. According to Dadalia, this painting represents their whole family. Best wishes to His Royal Highness.

White Wolf with Empty Gloves, I really have yours...Dadalia.

[Puppet] Sandone is sitting on the hand of a huge self-discipline organ. The gift she presented is a master key. According to her, this key can control the vast majority of ruins guards and is the work of her painstaking efforts.

[Doctor] Dotore sent a box of evil eyes, which are of high quality. They will only produce very small side effects after use. They are perfect for giving gifts or bribing favors.

[Harlequin] Piero used his loyalty as a "gift" and publicly expressed his willingness to serve Su Yu and fully cooperate with His Royal Highness to complete the tasks assigned by the Queen.

As the commander-in-chief of fools, Piero indeed has this qualification.

Immediately afterwards, [Ms.] and [Captain] also presented gifts one after another.

[Ms.] Rosalin's gift is a hellfire butterfly, which is a partial incarnation of her soul. Su Yu only needs to communicate with it to summon [Ms.] to fight, or to chat when she is lonely. .

[Captain] Capitano presented the secret information of Nata, one of the Seven Kingdoms, the country of fire element. He was appointed by the Queen to operate in Nata for many years. This priceless information is extremely important for gathering the God of Fire's heart. It's important.

Compared with these fancy gifts, Su Yu prefers [Rich Man] Pantalone's simple and crude gift - a Supreme Gold Card specially issued by the Northland Bank headquarters. This is the highest authority bank card and can be set up at any bank. At the branch in Teyvat, large quantities of mola can be transferred without limit.

Since she is traveling to various countries on behalf of the Queen, whether it is to save face or to show the strong national power of the Winter Kingdom, Mora is always indispensable.

Moreover, subduing the enemy without fighting has always been Su Yu's philosophy. If he could force the six countries to surrender through commercial war, he would not mind risking the entire wealth of the North Country Bank, even though Pantalone would probably vomit blood at that time.

Finally, all the executives present expressed their respect together.

"I wish your Royal Highness the best!"

Chapter 4: Calculation of the Six Nations

The people in the Prince's Mansion were busy all night. In order to take care of His Highness the Prince's daily life, they dismantled the entire kitchen overnight and planned to transport it away together.

There are also the maids in the library who carefully selected thousands of books and packed them in boxes, fearing that His Highness would feel bored during the journey.

However, all their preparations were in vain. His Highness the Prince ordered that he did not need to bring anything with him to the Prince's Palace. He only needed a personal butler to take care of his life.

There are three housekeepers in the Prince's Mansion, namely the Thunder Fire Warlock, the Ice Fire Warlock and the Hidden Mirror Lady. The one traveling with Su Yu this time is the Hidden Mirror Lady.

The Lady Hidden Mirror is the weakest among the three housekeepers. She originally thought that the other two sisters had greater chances, but she didn't know that she would be the one chosen in the end.

The moment she received the notice, she was completely confused. Fortunately, she had good professionalism and quickly calmed down from the flattered state.

She ran straight to His Highness the Prince's bedroom, combed His Highness's hair, bathed and changed clothes.

Ladies with hidden mirrors cover their eyes with blindfolds all year round, which makes their hearing more sensitive than most people, and no slightest movement can escape their ears.

"Your Highness, the 'Empire' has arrived at the port. I heard the whistle. This is the fastest warship in the Empire. It only takes three days and two nights for us to reach Inazuma. The first stop of your visit has been chosen in Inazuma. Tsuma City, this is their honor. However, I heard that General Thunderbolt is not friendly to outsiders, so you must be mentally prepared."

The response that came was:

"It's them who should be mentally prepared. You, too, should be the same."

A smart personal maid can always grasp the master's psychology keenly. When she heard His Highness the Prince's answer, the slender legs of the hidden lady trembled unconsciously.

His Highness's attitude is very strong. It seems that this trip to Ina Wife is destined to be full of storms.

"As ordered, Your Highness."

The young Prince is so arrogant. Is it because he lacks intelligence about the outside world, or is he really confident?

The delicate-minded Lady Hidden Mirror had strong expectations in her heart at this moment. She urgently wanted to know what kind of methods His Highness the Prince would use in the face of the secluded Tao Wife.

There is no doubt about His Highness the Prince's ability, which has been proven countless times in the past three years. But this time the opponent he faces is General Thunder. Can His Highness still be invincible?

"You know, why did I choose you? You might as well make a bold guess. You won't be punished if you are wrong."

Su Yu's eyes passed over the convex figure of the lady with a hidden mirror.

"This subordinate is ignorant and cannot guess His Highness's thoughts. Please make it clear."

"You are taller than your two sisters."

Tall women can better bring out the temperament of men.

"Ah? Your Highness..."

I originally thought that I was attracted by His Highness because of my extraordinary qualities, but it turned out that it was just because of my height that the lady behind the mirror inevitably felt a little disappointed.

"Of course, the elegant style of the lady behind the mirror is also vividly reflected in you. I believe that having this elegance as a companion will relieve a lot of boredom during the long journey."

The lady with hidden mirror was satisfied and said sensibly:

"This subordinate is willing to do anything for His Highness. Taking good care of His Highness's food and daily life is the most important job of this humble position."

"Get up. It's time for us to go."

On this day, a major event occurred in the Winter Kingdom. Your Royal Highness, the Prince, was about to go on a mission to other six countries on behalf of the Queen.

There was a sea of ​​people on the pier, watching the warship "Empire" leave the port, and the people joining in the fun began to whisper to each other.

"Have you heard? His Highness the Prince has achieved great success and was jealous and ostracized by the eleven executive officers. In order to balance the situation, Her Majesty the Queen transferred His Highness the Prince out of the palace in the name of going abroad as an ambassador."

"Really? The executive officer has a bad relationship with His Royal Highness. That's really bad news."

"I heard that His Highness the Prince made the Queen angry, so he was sent as an envoy to the six countries. The eleven executive officers went to plead for mercy, but they were reprimanded by the Queen."

"Well, it's not impossible. His Royal Highness the Prince just boarded the ship with only one maid and no guards. He didn't seem to have brought any supplies or equipment. He obviously left in a hurry."

In the crowd, people were talking quietly.

Of course, these gossips sounded particularly harsh to His Royal Highness’s loyal supporters, and some people immediately jumped out to refute them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is traveling on behalf of the Queen with full authority. Do you know what this means? It means great trust! You know nothing, so stop spreading rumors!"

"Who knows. Although I respect His Highness the Prince very much, the six countries now have strong opinions on our Zhidong, and diplomacy is in trouble. No one is sure whether His Highness the Prince can reverse the passive situation."

……

At this time, in the cockpit of the "Empire", Su Yu took the red wine brought by the lady with a hidden mirror.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, our people deliberately released various gossips at the dock. I'm sorry for my incomprehension, but when you visited other countries, you should have made a big splash so that other countries could see your determination and momentum. But you did the opposite. It’s the right way to do it, why is that?”

Su Yu looked at the windy and snowy sea in the distance.

“The Eleven Executive Officers’ actions in the six countries are progressing slowly because they rely too much on the Winter Country’s intelligence network. Little do they know that our opponents are always able to intercept the intelligence we collect through various channels and thus take action. Corresponding counter-action.

In view of the lessons of the past, it is better to proactively expose my weaknesses to them, paralyze them, and make them think that I am at odds with Her Majesty the Queen and the executives. When they wanted to take advantage of this, they fell into my trap..."

The hidden mirror lady's eyes shone: "I can probably understand His Highness's intentions. Those merchants at the dock also have spies planted by the Six Nations. They will truthfully feedback everything they hear back to their respective countries. This is equivalent to They are conveying a message to His Highness, but what they are conveying is wrong information, which will mislead their high-level decisions. Your Highness is wise, this is really a wonderful move."

The lady with hidden mirror admired His Highness the Prince in front of her even more.

It turns out that from the moment he left the port, His Royal Highness began to plot against the Six Kingdoms.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness is the prince of the Solstice Kingdom, not the princes of the other six kingdoms.

Otherwise, it will be a lingering nightmare for the Winter Country.

Su Yu, who was enjoying the wine, naturally didn't know what the hidden mirror lady was thinking. At this moment, he was thinking about his actions after arriving at Daozhi.

This is his first stop on his mission to the six countries. If everything goes smoothly, it will reduce a lot of resistance to his subsequent trips to other six countries to collect the hearts of gods.
