[Luminous: I hope to see you soon, Miss Navia. I promise I won't let what happened in the last video happen again, believe me.]

Navia: Thank you, traveler.

In the video, the three people arrive at Peterhof.

Duke Leosley greeted them, "Welcome to Mero Petersburg."

"Excuse me, we're here again. I didn't expect the Duke to personally receive us. We're so honored, hehe."

[Linnie: Haha, Paimon is so funny, you can even make saying 'here we go again' sound so proud.]

Paimon: What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?

[Leosley: Mello Petersburg is Fontaine's prison, and the fact that you two used the word "again" makes it hard not to speculate.]

[Yanfei: You two are too cruel!]

[Ying: Maybe he's just here on business. Look how good we are with Villette, it's not surprising that he'd ask us to do something for him.]

The three explained the whole story to the Duke, and on their way to the office to wait for Domenico, they also met the members of the Mutual Aid Society.

Ying took the "Mutual Aid Association" brochure, which contained only three rules that had to be followed.

"Help each other and get through this difficult time together."

"Upholding justice to the best of our ability."

"Do not hate a fair trial."

They saw the mutual aid society's badge again, which was clearly from the Peace Medal.

I learned from members of the mutual aid society that the badge was designed by the first president. He was a very capable person; he never bullied the weak, but instead encouraged the weak and sinful to unite and help each other.

[Hu Tao: The Peace Medal, upholding justice, don't hate a fair trial. Don't tell me I'm the only one who thought of this.]

[Xing Qiu: Watlin]

【Evening Palace: Wartlin】

[Kaiya: Watling]

...

Everyone thought of that man.

Noelle: He's really amazing.

[Ying: He really... I'm going to cry my eyes out]

Wendy: Looks like I have to toast Mr. Watlin again.

on the screen.

Sure enough, only two people had the Peace Medal. Caroline's medal had melted in the fire, leaving only the one in Waltering's hand.

He was undoubtedly the first president of the mutual aid society, and even after going to prison, he continued to uphold his righteous path.

Hisewen said the prisoner had been brought in, and the group moved to the Duke's office.

Unable to withstand the pressure from the powerful figures present, the prisoner confessed immediately.

He was sentenced for smuggling and wanted to gather a crowd to deal with Navelette, but no one paid any attention to him, and the mutual aid society even stopped him.

Therefore, he could only vent his anger on Chiara by writing a threatening letter demanding that she leave the Shadow Court.

The incident ended there, and there were no further major incidents.

Leosley also shared his opinion, believing that Villette was simply overthinking things.

Leosley: "Time changes a lot of things, and everything is different now."

Navette: "What do you mean?"

Leosley: "More than four hundred years ago, both you and the Melusin you brought were outsiders to the human society of Fontaine. But today, if someone threatens the Melusin, people will not stand idly by; they will make different choices than before."

“Navilet, the Melusin are a race you personally brought to Fontaine. The people’s attitude toward them actually reflects society’s view of you. In the past, the people did not trust the Melusin, essentially because they were watching you, the Supreme Judge. For nearly five hundred years, no matter what farces unfolded in court, you made fair judgments.”

"The people now see you as a symbol of the law, which is why no one is cooperating with Domenico."

Navilette: "I don't deserve this respect. Human emotions are far more complex than mine. Frankly, I think I deserve your respect more."

[Higgwen: Mr. Navilet is right, humans are much more interesting and lovable than other races like us.]

[Zhongli: Four hundred years of just trials have earned the respect of the people of Fontainebleau and their trust in Melousin.]

[Nasita: Mr. Navilet is someone I should learn from]

[Lei Movie: Maintaining absolute impartiality for four hundred years is indeed not an easy task; the first challenge is dealing with wear and tear.]

Wendy: He's doing a great job, there's nothing to worry about.

[Furina (Fukaros): Well done, Navelette. It seems you've fully adapted to the position of Supreme Judge.]

In the video, as everyone is preparing to leave.

The Duke told them about the mutual aid society, whose founder was indeed Watling, who had never expressed any dissatisfaction with Navelette until his death.

"He knows you will deliver a fair trial, and by showing hatred, those attending the trial will feel your fairness more directly."

After the Duke finished speaking, the group left Melo Petersburg.

[Yomiya: As expected, everything is going according to Mr. Watlin's plan]

[Beidou: This brother is a real man]

Wendy: A third toast to him

Barbara: ...

Diluc: A toast to him

[Kaiya: Let's raise a glass to him]

[Diona: Seriously, only one drink allowed! No more, you drunkards!]

Everyone showed their respect for Watling in their own way.

[Leosley: I have good news for you all. I've warned Domenico before. He did have that idea, but now he's forgotten about it, hasn't he, Mr. Domenico?]

[Domenico: I'm sorry, I'll never do it again.]

[Higgins: That's amazing, the Duke is truly incredible!]

[Ying: This swift and decisive action... I really hope I only got into Mero Petersburg on official business.]

Paimon: The Duke, he must be a good person, right? (frightened)

[Navilette: Thank you, Leosley]

[Chiara: Although Chiara doesn't quite understand, thank you, Duke.]

Leosley: You're welcome.

Chapter 10: The Water Dragon Didn't Cry, But the Audience Did.

The three walked on the streets of Fontainebleau.

The sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain at any moment.

Navilette spoke first, "I rarely mention that trial. But deep down, I've always felt sorrow for what happened to Caroline and Watlin. Watlin's words in the courtroom often echo in my mind, making me feel that I must do something."

Paimon: "According to the Duke, he doesn't hold a grudge against you, isn't that good?"

“I basically understand Leosley’s point of view. His words left me with mixed feelings. I don’t know how to describe it—surprise, relief, fear, guilt… a mix of emotions. I’m finally starting to understand some things. I also want to hear your opinions about me, what kind of person I am in your eyes?”

Paimon: "I think the Duke is right. As the Supreme Judge, every trial you preside over affects Fontaine, isn't that right?"

Ying: "Are the trials one after another affecting you as well?"

[Navilette: The trial is also affecting me... I'm not good at expressing my emotions, and I can't fully understand myself, but after watching this video, I believe your judgment; there have indeed been some changes in me.]

[Zhongli: Through years of trials, the line between dragons and humans as outsiders has become blurred]

[Lei Movie: Some changes are not caused by the events themselves, but by time; this is what we call wear and tear.]

[Paimon: What is wear and tear?]

[Ying: Maybe we'll know when Paimon lives to be four hundred years old.]

Paimon: That's a long time. Will you stay with me forever?

[Ying: We're here with our brother.]

on the screen.

As expected, it started to rain, but the rain wasn't very heavy yet, and the pedestrians quickened their pace.

Rainy days are not something everyone likes.

It will soak your clothes and hair, and affect your travel plans.

People seem to prefer sunny days.

Paimon quickly urged the two to take shelter from the rain, "It's raining. We didn't bring an umbrella today. Let's walk a few steps forward while the rain isn't too heavy yet!"

Ying hurriedly chased after him. Paimon was always so reckless. Everyone was rushing to find shelter from the rain, hoping not to bump into anyone.

Navelette wasn't in a hurry; he was enjoying standing in the rain.

Paimon: Navelette, why aren't you running? You're going to get soaked!

[Luminous: Paimon is so stupid. Vilet is the Water Elemental Dragon King; he avoids rain when it touches him.]

Paimon: I see!

[Navigette;...]

[Leosley: I remember the time I held an umbrella for the Supreme Judge. Although he thanked me, he seemed to think I had ruined his plans.]

[Clolind: I've seen him too, standing alone in the rain]

Wendy: I ​​guess she's trying to understand the emotions contained in the rain, just like how the people of Mondstadt use the wind and dandelions to express their longing.

on the screen.

As Wendy said.

Navelette stood still, letting the raindrops fall on him.
