“Thank you, Sedna.” Furnessa gratefully accepted the novel, her eyes filled with thanks as she looked at Sedna.
“You’re welcome, Lady Funina.” Sedna quickly waved her hand. “It is my honor to serve the Water God. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”
After saying that, she turned around and skipped away from Funina's sight.
Watching her carefree and happy figure, Funina felt envious. Others only saw her glamorous appearance, but no one knew the heavy burden she carried.
Sometimes, she felt so tired that she could hardly breathe.
Funina shook her head, trying to shake off these thoughts. She knew she couldn't let herself get caught up in these emotions, or she wouldn't be able to complete her mission.
She sat down at her desk and began reading the novel *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*. She wanted to see what kind of character the readers wanted her to play.
The novel begins by describing Archbishop Arza's many admirable qualities: kindness, compassion, and love, including his adoption of the ugly orphan Skarazim.
When Funina saw this, a smile appeared on her face. As the Goddess of Justice, she was indeed very suitable to play such a righteous and honorable role.
However, to her surprise, with the appearance of the female protagonist, Dotore, the plot of the novel began to take a strange turn.
Archbishop Arza's greedy, despicable, vile, and tyrannical nature is gradually revealed.
He could not suppress his inner desires and had his adopted son, Skarazim, tie Dotole up in his secret chamber.
In the secret chamber, Archbishop Arza began to do all sorts of unspeakable things to Dotole.
When Funina saw this, her face turned as red and hot as a boiling kettle, steaming.
This, this, this... this is too perverted.
The thought of myself wearing a tight black leather outfit, holding a leather whip with soft bristles, and lashing the pure and alluring Dotolei was unbearable.
The scene was just too... she couldn't bear to think about it anymore.
Casting her as Arza? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Just then, there was another knock on the door. Like a startled rabbit, Funina suddenly jumped up from her seat, throwing the novel she was holding onto her bed.
The tuft of white hair on the top of her head also bounced up and down.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She told herself to stay calm and composed.
After taking a few deep breaths, her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and the blush on her face began to fade.
After confirming that she had calmed down, Funina got up and walked to the door. She gently grasped the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
It was the lovely Sedna who appeared at the door. She explained her purpose to Frynn: "Lady Frynn, Lord Vilette requests your presence in his office."
When Fu Ningna heard this, her first reaction was to examine herself and reflect on whether she had done anything wrong recently.
After thinking it over carefully for a while, she felt that she had been quite well-behaved lately and had not done anything out of line, so she confidently said to Sedna, "Okay, I will meet with Navelette immediately. According to my judgment, Navelette must have encountered some difficulties that require me, the divine being, to resolve."
After hearing this, Sedna looked at her with admiration, "Lady Furina, you are truly amazing. Lord Vilette is recognized as the most powerful person in Fontaine, and I never thought that even he would have to ask you for help."
“Hahaha, of course, who told you to be my god!” Funina laughed exaggeratedly, but then she quickly remembered something and whispered to Sedna, “Don’t tell anyone about this, Vilette is a very proud person.”
Sedna nodded quickly, "Lady Furina, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone about this."
After hearing her promise, Funina walked happily toward Navelette's office.
After completing her mission, Sedna returned to her workstation on the first floor of the Moman Palace. She sat down and began organizing the documents at hand, busying herself with her work.
After a while, a girl wearing a round red hat walked up to Sedna. She asked Sedna in a low voice, "Sister Sedna, has Lady Furina had anything noteworthy to report lately?"
As Charlotte spoke, she handed over a small cake she had prepared beforehand. Sedna looked at the tempting cake in front of her, a hint of hesitation on her face.
"Charlotte, I promised Lady Frinina I wouldn't tell anyone," Sedna quickly said, trying to deflect the question. Although she was trying to refuse, her eyes remained fixed on the cake, and she unconsciously swallowed.
Seeing this, Charlotte's face showed a pleading look. "Sister Sedna, please help me. I'm failing to meet my KPIs and I'm about to be fired."
Upon hearing this, Sedna's heart softened immediately. She looked at Charlotte's pitiful appearance, then at the cake in front of her, and finally couldn't help but give in.
"I heard Lady Furina say today that Lady Navelette would ask her for help when she encountered difficulties," Sedna said softly.
Charlotte's eyes widened, and she almost cried out in surprise, "Even Lady Villette encounters difficulties she can't handle?"
"Shh!" Sedna put her finger to her lips to signal for quiet, and whispered, "She also said that Lord Vilette is an extremely proud man and doesn't want anyone to know about this."
"Wow, this is big news!" Charlotte exclaimed excitedly. "Thank you so much, Sister Sedna. I have to go back and write my article now. Goodbye."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran quickly toward the newspaper office, thinking of a headline as she ran.
Shocking! Lady Furina recounts: Lady Vilette is actually this kind of person!
Shocking! A teenage girl reveals the truth: even the most powerful people in Fontainebleau have moments when they are willing and able but lack the means.
Chapter 160 The Hunchback of Notre Dame's Sumeru - Part 4
Standing in front of Navelette's office, Funina encouraged herself, repeatedly telling herself, "You are the water goddess, and he is your subordinate. In front of him, you must have the aura of a goddess."
After gathering her emotions, she pushed the door open with a bang.
She swayed into the office and said in an exaggerated tone, "My dear subordinate, Navelette, is there something you need my help with?"
However, Navigette, who was engrossed in his official duties, seemed oblivious to her arrival. Without even looking up, he coldly barked, "Quiet!"
Funina was startled, and all the emotions she had prepared vanished instantly. She immediately sat upright on the sofa, like a dignified lady, with her hands placed properly on her knees.
After a while, Navelette finally finished what he was doing. He turned to look at Funina, his expression serious, and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Funina, I have two things I need to talk to you about."
Upon hearing this, Funina's heart tightened. She said somewhat hesitantly, "Speak! This goddess hasn't made any mistakes lately, has she?" Although she tried to remain calm, a hint of nervousness still lingered in her voice.
Navelette said calmly, "You haven't done anything wrong lately."
Upon hearing this, Funina's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile, as if bathed in sunshine. Her confidence instantly returned. "So, Vilette, is there something you want to report to me?"
Navelette shook his head slightly in denial. He paused briefly, then continued, "First of all, I must warn you not to incite the novelists of Fontainebleau any further."
"Incite the Fontaine novelists? Incite them for what?" Funina asked, puzzled.
“You’ve read *The Hunchback of Notre-Dame*, haven’t you?” Navilette gave her a cold look. “I don’t want to hear anyone encouraging novelists to write novels like *The Court of Judgment of Fontainebleau*!”
Upon hearing this, Funina couldn't help but recall the novel she had encouraged the Fontaine novelist to write, "Night Shift at Mo Mang Palace: The Coerced Chief Inquisitor."
Although Navelette outwardly said she had forgiven him, his favorite cake was not served for the next week.
"Don't worry, I will absolutely not incite those novelists," Funina patted her chest, assuring Navelette.
“I hope you can do it.” Navelette sighed softly; he was genuinely worried about this unreliable goddess. But he also knew that although Funina could be a headache at times, she was kind at heart; perhaps she just needed some time and experience to grow and change.
Then, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Ms. Funina, the next thing I want to talk about is prophecy."
"Prophecy? What prophecy? Vilette, you're an inquisitor, how could you believe in such nonsense?" A look of panic flashed across Furna's face, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
Navelette slowly began to speak: "There has always been a prophecy in Fontaine that all Fontaines are born with sins, which cannot be erased no matter how the righteous kingdom of Fontaine judges them. Until one day, the sea level in Fontaine will begin to rise, and those burdened with sins will gradually be submerged by the sea. Eventually, everyone will dissolve into the water, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne. Only then will the sins of the Fontaines be washed away."
"This prophecy? I've heard about it before. It's so obviously fake. Who would believe it? Only a complete fool would. You wouldn't believe it, Vilette, would you? Hahahaha!" Funina pointed at Vilette with one finger while clutching her stomach with the other and laughing heartily.
“Ms. Furnessa, I naturally don’t believe in this prophecy, but some people do,” Navelette said calmly.
"Who is it? Which big idiot? Tell me, and I'll make you laugh at him!" Funina said with a smile as she moved closer to Vilette.
"That person is Frinina, whose demon god name is Fukaros. I recently opened some documents and found that you have been continuously funding adventure teams to find a way to prevent Fontaine from being submerged."
Navelette looked directly into Funina's eyes, her voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
Furnessa froze on the spot, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Villette. She had thought her secret operation could be kept hidden, but she hadn't expected Villette to discover it anyway.
However, she did not show any panic or fear. On the contrary, she remembered her mission and responsibility and immediately put on a superior attitude.
"So you found out about this. Well, I'll tell you the truth then. I'm the one who released this prophecy. Life is so boring every day, it's making everyone feel a bit threatened. As for sponsoring adventurers, it's just because my life is too boring and I want to hear some interesting stories."
Navelette was clearly not satisfied with this explanation. "Ms. Furnessa, I am the Supreme Judge of Fontaine. The entire nation of Fontaine rests on my shoulders. If the prophecy is true, I must prepare a way out for the people of Fontaine in advance."
A sudden urge stirred within Funina; she felt an overwhelming urge to confide in someone. She wanted to tell Villette her secret, but ultimately she held back.
She knew her mission and responsibility; she couldn't let anyone know the truth.
So she snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I am the Goddess of Justice of Fontaine, and Fontaine is not for you to bear!"
After saying that, she immediately turned and left, then hurried back to her room.
After closing the door, Funina felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
Even Navisle was being so mean to her; she felt really wronged.
Why should I have to take on all these responsibilities?
I'm so tired!
Can anyone help me?
Just as she was breaking down, her hand suddenly touched a book, the very book she had previously tossed onto the bed, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
Never mind, I'll read the novel first.
As the story unfolded, she gradually became immersed in the world of the novel. She forgot her own troubles and grievances, focusing only on the development of the story and the changes in the plot.
Chapter 161 New Changes in the Church
The early summer sun is always so bright. It shines through the broad leaves of the sacred tree, casting dappled light on the winding stone steps of the Papal Court, gilding each stone with a layer of gold.
A listless girl wearing a hood resembling a nightcap climbed upwards. She wore a black and white backless short dress with a blue ribbon tied around her waist. Her face was delicate, her figure graceful, and the white slime on her chest jiggled with her movements.
As soon as she stepped through the gates of the Church, she immediately sensed something was amiss.
The once bustling Order House is now rather deserted.
Is the college on holiday?
The thought flashed through her mind. She hurried toward her Minglun School classroom, wanting to find someone to ask about the situation.
Before long, she arrived at the classroom door. However, the scene before her surprised her greatly. The huge classroom was completely empty.
What's going on? She couldn't help but frown.
After writing a paper in seclusion, how come the students and teachers of my own school of thought can no longer see it?
Just then, she saw an acquaintance passing by and quickly went up to him.
"Senior Falushan, is our academy on holiday?" she asked anxiously.
Looking at Laila, whose eyes still had dark circles, Farusan knew that she must be engrossed in her studies and paying no attention to the changes in the outside world.
