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

Paimon agrees.

"I am indeed intoxicated by the wine in Mondstadt, but I can't say I enjoy it very much. Traveler, do you know what I enjoy most?"

The traveler and Pamon looked up and waited.

This powerful Prince of Winter was completely different from the dignitaries they had seen before. He did not seem to be very interested in enjoying material life.

So, what does he enjoy most?

"Standing on the top of the mountain, you can look at the scorching sun that is about to rise on the sea level. Standing on the bank of the East China Sea, you can look at the sailboat returning from the stormy waves in the sea."

The traveler vaguely understood the image and asked: "Your Highness, you mean... hope?"

"Hope is what I enjoy most, and it is also the most luxurious thing in the world."

……

The next morning, in the place where the wind blows.

The Seven Heavenly Wind God statue exudes divine brilliance.

Captain Qin of the Knights of the West Wind stood alone under the huge sky tree, feeling as if the entire tree was blocking out the sky and the sun.

Whenever she encounters difficult choices or worries that are difficult to resolve, Qin will come here to confess her heart to Cangtianshu.

"Lord Barbatos entrusted me with a dream last night, saying that the 'Secret Agreement of Leeward' was forged by him in imitation of the Rock King Emperor's notes. This matter needs to be revealed to the people of Mondstadt. The Lawrence family is not a traitor."

"Their ancestors have paid the price, and their descendants should enjoy the same rights and fair treatment as the rest of us Mondstadt people. Otherwise, hatred will continue forever."

48 - Land of the Wind

After saying this, Qin lowered her head lonely.

She, who always showed her strength in front of everyone, secretly wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Lady Vanessa, the Prince of Solstice told me that Grand Commander Falga has been killed. From today on, I am the official leader of the Knights of the West Wind. Becoming a regular leader should be a happy thing, But Grand Commander Falga will never come back, alas."

For Falga, Qin is his descendant, the next generation successor he has trained for the position of grand leader.

For Qin, Falga was her first teacher, giving her the courage to move forward and teaching her to be unyielding in desperate situations.

Qin's growth has always been inseparable from the guidance of Chief Falga. Qin respects Falga as much as she loves Vanessa.

"Grand Commander Falga, you once wrote back to report your safety, but those letters were actually written by others. I can understand your good intentions. You don't want everyone to cry for you. You once I said that tears on a cruel battlefield will only increase troubles, so you hid it from everyone and hoped that we would move forward bravely."

"Grand Commander Falga, I will keep this secret until the expeditionary force returns in triumph."

After talking to each other, Qin wanted to cry.

However, the sound of footsteps behind her interrupted her melancholy mood, and her usual strong smile appeared on her face again.

Noelle, the maid of the Knights of the West Wind, followed.

"Captain Qin, I'm sorry to disturb your solitude. Captain Kaia said he was worried about your safety and sent me out to follow you. He said you would come to the Land of the Wind, so let me come here to take a look."

"Captain Kaia, are you feeling better now?"

"Well... when I saw him in the morning, he was still angry. He said that he couldn't figure out why he just escaped to Dawn Winery to find Mr. Diluc yesterday, but was immediately captured by the Lawrence family. Stay. Oh, he asked me about you and His Royal Highness this morning."

"Me and Prince Winter? There is nothing between me and him. If he is curious about the sword I used to assassinate Prince Winter two years ago, I will tell you slowly when I get back."

Noelle shook his head and said: "That's not what Captain Kaia asked about. He thought that you and Prince Winter spent the night in the room last night, and he was afraid that something bad would happen, so he asked me about the situation. . I told him that I was with you last night, and he left with peace of mind."

After talking about this situation, Noelle's face turned red.Things between adult men and women, for a shy girl like her, will always make the heart beat faster, even if it is just hearsay.

"Kia!"

Qin stamped her feet and shouted his name, her breasts rising and falling with anger.

After gathering his emotions, Qin Cai asked again: "Will Zhi Dong's delegation leave Mondstadt today?"

"When I was leaving the city, I happened to meet the lady with a hidden mirror who was beside Prince Winter. She told me that the next stop of their mission was the Kingdom of Nata."

"Before the Solstice Mission went out, they deliberately released news that Prince Solstice was at odds with the Queen and the eleven executive officers. We, the Knights of the West Wind, were misled by this information this time. We can easily tell you their itinerary, Then it’s almost certainly a lie to you.”

Noelle asked: "Captain Qin, where do you think they might visit next?"

"Liyue."

Qin replied without thinking.

"Liyue? I can't think of why they want to go there."

Qin did not answer Noelle's question directly because this was also her guess.

Prince Su Yu of Zhidong successfully obtained the God's Heart of Mondstadt and Inazuma. With overwhelming confidence, he will definitely seek the God's Heart of the Rock King, the most difficult to deal with among the Seven Kingdoms.

As one of the seven oldest gods, Rock King is not as easy to compromise as the God of Wind or God of Thunder. At least the method of wooing noble villains to subvert the Mondstadt regime will definitely not work in Liyue.

The people who are in charge of and manage Liyue's government affairs are the Liyue Seven Stars. Not only are they more powerful than the West Wind Knights and the Rice Wife's Sanfengxing, they are also second to none in the entire Teyvat.

A proud person like Su Yu would most likely challenge the Kingdom of Contract and seize the Heart of the Rock God from the Rock King.

As for what methods Su Yu would use, she really couldn't imagine. It was hard to say whether it would be an immediate success or a failure, but in any case, she was full of expectations.

"The Prince of Solstice is extremely resourceful. Next time I see him, I will probably say sorry to him."

"Ah...why, Captain Qin."

Qin raised her head and stared at the leafy Cangtian tree in front of her.

"Well, now I have to admit that we lost miserably this time. The Lawrence family and our West Wind Knights all became part of his plan to lure Master Fengshen to show up. From the beginning, he did not regard us as They are equally matched opponents.”

"However, this is a good thing. For hundreds of years, we, who have been accustomed to arrogance and luxury, were once immersed in arrogance and arrogant vanity. Someone needs to come out to beat and spur, and be prepared for danger in times of peace to ensure the long-term peace of Mondstadt. Prince Solstice, urge Mond has become better, more united and more mature."

Speaking of this, Qin smiled slightly and said: "And this Prince of Winter is so angry that he always remembers the wayward sword of a little girl like me, like a boy who was bullied by a girl and keeps holding a grudge. I Think about it, that’s because he doesn’t care about my status as captain, or the burden of being a prince, and treats me as an equal friend, so I am indeed the one who is wronged.”

"I hope to have the opportunity in the future to apologize to him in person. By the way, Noelle, your brave performance this time is obvious to all. I officially approve you to join the Knights of the West Wind."

Noelle burst into tears instantly, but as a member of Mondstadt's glorious knights, he couldn't show his fragile side casually, so he quickly wiped away his tears and performed a standard knightly salute.

"Knight Noel, it's time for us to go back and take over Mondstadt again."

"Yes, Captain!"

And at the same time.

Outside the gates of Mondstadt, the Solstice delegation left with the same warm atmosphere as when they arrived.

The common people of Mondstadt gathered nearby to watch——

When the Solstice delegation arrived, they did not see Prince Solstice. When they left, they only wanted to see the true face of Prince Solstice.

The story of Prince Solstice's struggle has been circulating in the Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat recently. As the fermentation intensifies, the legendary stories of his efforts to govern and reform the Solstice Kingdom are spread in the streets.

"People say that I am the supernova of Mondstadt's wine industry, so the Winter Prince is the supernova that has taken Teyvat by storm recently."

At the gate of the main city, the cat-eared girl Diona who came to see her off murmured to herself.

As Su Yu said the night before, she took a day off yesterday and heard from the landlady that there was some trouble in the city...

Not only Diona, there were many people who came to see her off today.

Almost all members of the West Wind Knights were also present.

Chapter 49 You Belong to the Light

On a hillside near the road outside the city, Keli waved to the forest.

"Leize, come here quickly, Prince Winter is leaving the city soon."

Lei Ze, who has been with wolves since childhood, has a natural fear of humans. Over the years, hunters in Qingquan Town have killed many members of the wolf pack.

If it were in the past, he would only move around the Wolf Territory and would not go so far away, because he wanted to protect the wolves from humans at all times; and also to avoid direct contact and communication with humans.

He sees himself as a wolf, not a man.

But since meeting Prince Zhidong that day, he has been thinking repeatedly about the word "human nature" that Prince Zhidong emphasized to him. If you don't understand human nature and don't try to think about problems with human thinking, your achievements in this life will be limited to this. .

He wants to understand the human world, understand human beings themselves, and understand the meaning and value of his own existence.

So when Keli came to inform him today that Prince Solstice was about to leave Mondstadt, he rushed over immediately.

On the way here, he also discovered that members of the Fools began to repair the temple of the Wolf of the North Wind.

Su Yu's promise to the old Wolf King began to be fulfilled. This man was a man of his word, not the cunning and cunning people he usually saw.

"That man, the great human being...Lupika."

Lei Ze said standing next to Keli.

"Yes, he is actually a good person! I now know that bouncing bombs cannot be used indiscriminately, and methods and strategies must be paid attention to. I used to hate fighting, thinking that fighting was just a simple matter of throwing bombs. Now, I find that learning the skills of fighting, It’s much more fun than fried fish.”

Keli hugged Duduke with a smile on her face.

At this time, Abedo came over.

"Brother Abedo!"

Abedo asked: "The Prince of Winter threatened you that day, why weren't you angry?"

"Those children who did something wrong would be spanked and spanked by their parents, and some would be punished by their parents. However, Keli has done so many naughty things, but no one has ever taught Keli a lesson like the prince. His Royal Highness reminds me of my mother and my father..."

Abedo sighed.

Keli, who was used to being pampered, felt even more envious of those children who were scolded by their parents when they came home and were naughty.

Even if there are countless people's love, it cannot replace the company of parents.

Prince Zhidong is as strict as a parent, but it is what Keli desires most in her heart.

"I will never be able to do the harsh things that the prince did to you and the harsh words that he said to you, alas. The Prince of Winter is indeed extraordinary. He can make you and Lei Ze grow up so quickly. This is unprecedented for anyone." Neither can be done.”

Abedo was filled with emotion.

Crows hovered on the roof of the church, and the silent and empty cemetery was solemn and deep.

The Fools’ Executive Officer [Ms.] Rosalin stood silently in front of Rustam’s tomb and prayed, then quietly stared at the inscription on the tombstone——

"If you no longer triumph, I will not cry for you. I will drink another drink for you just like today."

This epitaph was written by Alan Delin, the Grand Master of the Knights of the West Wind during the Calamity Period of Camria. It was originally a blessing he sent to Rustan when he went to war.

Next to the tombstone, a bouquet of bright iris flowers was placed.

"It's really rare to see the executioners of the Fools mourning in front of the tomb. People say you are cold-blooded executioners and heretics who truly kill without blinking an eye."

After saying that, Yura saluted Rustan's tombstone.

Rosalin sneered: "Are you spying on me?"

"Every move of the Fools is under my surveillance. This is the duty of the 'Spray Knight'. What's more, heroes are buried in this church cemetery, so it needs to be inspected more closely."

Rosalin was about to teach her a lesson when she suddenly realized that she was the only one from the Knights of the West Wind, not even an extra guard.

Obviously, Yura is not here to arrest anyone.

"It seems that the lesson His Royal Highness gave you was not profound enough."

Hearing the ridicule, Yora was not angry at all, but said: "I came to you to ask you to help me tell His Highness the Prince that I have a clear positioning of my identity, and I am still Mondstadt's 'Splash Knight'" , but my mentality is very different from before."

"In the past, I was eager to be recognized by the people and the Knights of the West Wind. But now, it is the Knights of the West Wind who need to be recognized. What I support in my heart is justice and fairness. In the future, the Knights of the West Wind will not be able to do this, or If you violate this principle, I will be the first to stand up and accuse, or at worst overthrow it. Just like His Royal Highness, rebel!"

Nowadays, in addition to fulfilling the daily tasks of a knight, Yula also requires herself to be the supervisor of the Knights of the West Wind. If the Knights of the West Wind make mistakes, she will correct them without hesitation.

"Very good, Miss Yola. It seems that we have both found the answer we each wanted. His Highness the Prince ordered me to reflect, and now I finally figured it out. The man I once loved spent his life protecting the home he loved, and I But he always wanted to destroy the thing he cherished most with his own hands..."

Finally, Rosalin looked at Rustam's tombstone tenderly.

"Miss Yora, I will help you tell the truth. But if you continue to bully our Fool members in Mondstadt, I will be rude to you."

"Hmph, as long as you don't break the rules, why should I embarrass you?"

Rosalin refuted: "We fools never violate the rules when we do things. Don't spit on others!"

"Am I slandering others? When you say this, it really makes people laugh out loud."

While the two women were bickering, they suddenly heard waves of frightened screams coming from the crowd in the distance.

When Youra looked up, she felt extremely nervous.

"No, it's the Wind Demon Dragon Tevalin! It has caused several wind disasters recently, causing many injuries."

Yora hurriedly left the cemetery and rushed into the streets to protect the people of Mondstadt.
