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

The Lawrence family is just a bargaining chip in negotiations with Barbatos, a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

"We still have one last thing that we don't know about, Your Highness."

Schubert asked.

The final question is often the most important and most concerning question.

Su Yu spread his hands and motioned for him to continue.

"Seizing Mondstadt will inevitably lead to a war with the Knights of the West Wind. How many people do the Fools plan to send?"

Chapter 31 Flickering Candlelight

Although the Lawrence family has secretly cultivated a large number of soldiers and trained many domestic slaves over the years, it is not enough to defeat the Knights of the West Wind just relying on them.

Among the Knights of the West Wind, Qin, Kaia, Lisa, and Amber are all the best masters with the Eye of God. To deal with these people, they must get the help of the Fools.

"I said, fools are in the dark, but you are in the light. It is not convenient for us to participate in the action of seizing power."

Su Yu's answer was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing their blazing ambitions.

Schubert stood up and sneered: "Then there is nothing to talk about. Fools want nothing more than nothing, and they treat us as fools!"

Are you preparing to flip the table...

Before Su Yu could say anything, the Hidden Mirror Lady summoned a water mirror, spinning around her body.

When the light of the water mirror shone on Schubert, a layer of ice instantly formed, freezing him from head to neck, leaving only one head that could still speak.

"Homeowner!"

Several core family members behind Schubert shouted his name in panic.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong! Your Excellency has a lot, please let me live. I haven't lived enough."

Schubert himself was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were split apart. Once the ice froze his head, his life would be dead.

The Lady Hidden Mirror asked in a bad tone: "Schubert, do you know where you went wrong? No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of His Highness. Your Highness symbolizes the Queen's mission to other countries and is negotiating with you on behalf of the Winter Country. You How dare you say something rude!"

To be honest, Schubert was really frightened by The Lady Hidden Mirror. This Prince of Winter has a transcendent status. You must not offend him, let alone disrespect him. That would be courting death.

"I was really wrong. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I agree to Your Highness's conditions. The fools will not send a single soldier. Our Lawrence family will seize all the power. Please let me go!"

"Lady, you have frightened our allies."

When Su Yu spoke, the Hidden Mirror Lady immediately removed her elemental combat skills.

The ice melted, and Schubert sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, with fear in his eyes.

Just now, he was just a little bit away from being a cold corpse. There had never been a day when he felt so close to death.

The Laurence family has always been regarded as sinners by the people of Mondstadt, as arrogant and treacherous villains. It was not until today that Schubert discovered that they were even worse than ants in front of the Prince of Winter.

The real villain is the Winter Prince.

"Your Highness, please give the order. We will immediately lead people to attack the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind!"

Su Yu smiled calmly and said, "Schubert, have you ever watched the play?"

"Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean..."

"The climax of a wonderful drama often needs to be foreshadowed and warmed up to bring the audience the ultimate enjoyment. Tomorrow afternoon, a batch of weapons and equipment will arrive in Mondstadt. After you get the weapons and equipment, wait for my order and act in unison. "

"Your Highness..."

Schubert's heart was beating violently. He was desperate just now, but now he is full of hope.

It will be even more powerful for the Lawrence family to obtain weapons and equipment from Zhidong. It is said that Zhidong's firearms have a longer range and are more powerful. They can even kill people with the Eye of God, and are sold for sky-high prices on the black market.

"His Royal Highness came to Mondstadt for the first time. We prepared several tables of fine wine and asked His Highness to show his appreciation. In addition, we also prepared a special program for His Highness."

Schubert said mysteriously, seeming quite confident in the program he was talking about.

"Then just watch the show."

I drank so much in Inazuma that I almost passed out, and the alcohol was not fully digested along the way. I had to do it again, and I would have another hangover tonight.Besides, it’s not yet time to enjoy the Lawrence family’s food and drinks, it won’t be too late to wait until they capture Mondstadt.

Schubert clapped his hands.

On the temporarily renovated stage not far away, melodious music suddenly sounded.

The curtain slowly rose, and a graceful figure appeared in the middle of the stage.

The light blue short hair is like the waves on the seaside, with a four-pointed star-shaped hairband on the top of the head; a pair of orange eyes, filled with rebellion, tenacity and calmness far beyond others.

She wore a high-cut tights, a one-shoulder cape, and a tie fluttering on her chest, with the Lawrence family crest clearly embroidered on the tie.

The most attractive thing was probably the long legs in black silk stockings. Even the plump lady with a hidden mirror couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Your Highness, please enjoy the family ceremonial dance performed by my niece Yora Lawrence, the most outstanding contemporary descendant of the Lawrence family, the guerrilla captain of the Knights of the West Wind with the reputation of 'Knight of the Spray'."

"We would like to express our sincere love and respect for His Royal Highness."

With that said, Schubert and his family members left the Goethe Hotel very wisely.

The Lady with a Hidden Mirror also called the people from the Solstice Mission to wait outside the hotel.

Working in boats and carriages along the way, His Royal Highness always needs a moment to relax. At this time, it is best for no one to disturb his enjoyment.

In the empty Goethe Hall, only Su Yu and Youra were soon left.

Ritual dance is a ritual used by nobles to show their nobility.

The Lawrence family's ritual dance is called "Flickering Candlelight". The dancer has a noble status and is usually performed by the eldest daughter of the family.

Ceremonial dances have a long history, dating back to the time when the old aristocracy ruled Mondstadt, and the Laurence family continues this tradition to this day.

In the most glorious days of the past, the head of Lawrence's family would hire Teyvat's most famous dancer to be his daughter's dance teacher.

Therefore, ritual dance is a compulsory course for the daughters of the patriarchs of the Lawrence family in the past. They have thick calluses on their toes since they were young, but the blood flowing out is an embellishment of glory, and every dancer is proud of it. .

But in Yola's generation, ritual dances are no longer as noble as they used to be. Beautiful dances and elegant manners are used to please and welcome the most distinguished guests.

In the past, it was Mondstadt's dignitaries who enjoyed this treatment. Today, Su Yu also enjoys the highest level of reception from the Lawrence family. And unlike them, Su Yu enjoys dancing solo.

He was the only one in the audience today.

This may also be the first time in the history of the Lawrence family.

The dancer on the stage dances lightly, moves like a virgin, and is as graceful as a giant. However, the audience below the stage knows everything about her.

In Su Yu's memory, the Wave Knight Yora Lawrence resolutely joined the West Wind Knights in order to draw a clear line between herself and her family.

How did Schubert convince a woman with such a strong personality to dance the ritual dance?

She clearly knew that the family was colluding with the notorious Fools, and instead of reporting it to the Knights of the West Wind, she was willing to be used by the family as a tool to please the guests. This is really puzzling.

"Your Highness, I heard that you have carried forward the ballet of Winter Solstice, which has swept the seven countries and set off a popular trend of learning ballet. I have learned ritual dance since I was a child, and I think I am qualified to invite your highness to dance with me. It represents us. The family’s sincere welcome to His Highness is also an exchange of art between lonely dancers, what do you think?”

On the stage, Youla made an elegant invitation to dance.

Dancing...

Except for the days when I coached those dance teachers in Zhiwin, it seemed that I had not been exposed to the stage for a long time.

"Being an audience is not physically and mentally tiring, but it cannot replace the joy of participation. Miss Yola kindly invites me. If I refuse, I will lose my gentlemanly demeanor."

Chapter 32 Cut off the shackles of sinners

Su Yu's dancing skills are derived from the sign-in system and are the top skills on Blue Star.

Su Yu walked onto the stage and danced with it.

One hand held Yula's hand, and the other held her slender waist. The latter also naturally put an arm on Su Yu's shoulder.

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air.

Yura danced with many outstanding partners, but she had never seen a male partner with more charming eyes than the Prince of Winter.

Like a clear spring trickling endlessly, it is quiet and remote, peaceful and quiet.

It is also like a sea, sometimes blowing violent storms, sometimes blue sea and blue sky.

It was like a scorching sun that seemed to melt the ice in her heart.

The dance is coming to an end.

The pride in Yula's eyes was only left with the lingering pleasure and shock.

Only by dancing with the Prince of Winter in person will you know that his dancing is even more exquisite than the rumors say.

At the beginning of the dance, Su Yu was matching her rhythm. In the middle stage, she was completely matching Su Yu's rhythm. At the end, she couldn't feel the rhythm of the dance anymore. Everything was so tacit and natural, as if two people were dancing together. resonated between

Water and milk blend together, regardless of each other...

Yula knows very well that this is the highest state of pas de deux, a state called "selflessness", which is the ideal state that countless dance masters pursue throughout their lives.

And today, she was lucky enough to feel it.

The emotional release and inner satisfaction are as if you have found a soulmate in life. This feeling is so wonderful that it is difficult to explain it in just a few words.

The reason why she was shocked was because during the dance, she was surprised to find that the ice element in her body was restless, as if it would leave her body at any time and rush towards the man who was close at hand.

After further thinking about the identity of the Prince of Winter, Yura realized that the Prince of Winter had a terrifyingly high elemental affinity.

Intelligence shared within the Knights of the West Wind revealed that Prince Solstice had a discordant relationship with the Ice Queen and was ostracized by the eleven executive officers of the Fools. At the same time, he was weak and had been repeatedly assassinated and seriously injured, requiring the protection of his bodyguards. Protect.

It was obvious that the information was inaccurate.

With such a high elemental affinity, this Winter Prince cannot be a soft-footed shrimp. It is very likely that he is hiding his strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

It's even more outrageous to be at odds with the Ice Queen. I'm afraid the truth is that she loves him very much.

Any woman would be impressed by this almost perfect man.

The four words "almost perfect" were Yula's evaluation of Prince Solstice after dancing.

The only imperfection is that the man in front of him is the prince of Zhidong and represents the interests of Zhidong.

Both Zhi Dong and the Fools had a bad reputation in various places. Yora had gotten along with the Fools many times. They were a group of guys who would do anything to achieve their goals. In short, it gave her a bad impression.

Even though the Prince of Winter in front of her had infinitely elevated the status of the Fools in her heart, the bad impression was still there and it would be difficult to correct it.

Within a few seconds of the countdown to the end of the dance, Youla suddenly activated her elemental combat skills and launched an attack on Su Yu.

The bone whistle in Yula's mouth suddenly sounded, like countless waves roaring.

"While dancing, cut off the shackles of sinners!"

At this moment, the elegance of the "Spray Rider" can be seen at a glance, which is completely different from the gentle and affectionate dance just now.

"I'm sorry, Prince Winter. I can't stop my own people, let alone your transactions, but I can capture you and hand you over to Qin."

"The fools colluded with the Lawrence family in an attempt to seize Mondstadt's power by force. I saw it with my own eyes and the evidence is conclusive!"

After Youla controlled Su Yu, she revealed the purpose of her trip.

Yesterday, she spied on the Fools meeting her uncle Schubert. At that time, she speculated that the family and the Fools might be doing something bad.

It happened that Schubert found her and hoped that she could perform a ritual dance at the Goethe Hotel to welcome the prince who arrived in winter——

Of course Youla knew that her uncle wanted to please Prince Zhidong.

If this happened before, not only would she refuse without hesitation, but she might even have a big quarrel with her uncle.

However, considering that the family might be in cahoots with the Fools, she finally agreed to her uncle's request and used this opportunity to investigate and collect evidence to catch all the Fools in order to prevent the family from making an unforgivable mistake.

After listening to the negotiations between the two sides, Youla was glad to have come to the scene today.

She invited Prince Solstice to dance with her, but she actually wanted to paralyze him and capture him alive!

What was different from her original plan was that when she actually implemented the arrest of Prince Winter, she felt a little shaken in her heart.

The pas de deux messed up my mood.

"Your Highness, let's take it easy. You are the Prince of Solstice, and the laws of Mondstadt cannot judge you, but can only expel you. But from now on, the forces of the Fools are not allowed to step into Mondstadt again!"

Yula said coldly.

The giant sword in Youla's hand was placed in front of Su Yu.

"He is indeed the most outstanding contemporary descendant of the Lawrence family. He broke into the dragon's den and the tiger's den single-handedly. While righteously exterminating relatives, he also seized evidence of the transaction between Prince Winter and the Lawrence family."

Su Yu applauded her.
