Side Story 2: The Water God's Wedding [Part 1]

Su Chen: Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

If Su Chen had to describe his feelings using a movie scene, it would be like this: He was having hotpot and singing with Old Zhong in Liyue when they were suddenly intercepted by Funinna!

So, what magic? It was clearly arranged beforehand to send him here.

But Furness's combination of punches really stunned him. And Villette, who would have thought that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray the revolution!

As I pondered this, a lively cheer erupted from the audience.

"ooooooh! I knew Lady Frinina wouldn't let us down. A trial wedding, we've never encountered anything like this before!"

"Don't tell me I've never encountered this before, even my grandfather has never encountered it!"

"Life imprisonment, imprisonment if married."

"Waaaaah~ Although it's funny, I'm so sad to think that Lady Funina has a lover."

In terms of sheer spectacle, this scene is undoubtedly the best of the year, enough to occupy half a section in the Steambird Newspaper, and it will be broadcast non-stop from the beginning to the end of the year.

But from another perspective, the fact that the Water Goddess is getting married is even more heartbreaking than the national goddess getting a husband. Besides offering their blessings, the people of Fontainebleau are also looking at Su Chen with envy.

"Damn it, I'm not envious at all!"

"This is what the Lemon-Not-Sour True Lord said."

"Rejoice, my people!" Furynna raised her head like a victorious rooster. "Sing for me! Cheer for me! Be proud of me! I am the Queen of the waters, the lands, the peoples, and the laws, and now I grant you the most sincere blessings for my wedding!"

“oooooooh!”

The theater erupted in cheers once again.

Su Chen raised his eyes, as if he could see a large number of 'ooh' comments flying past his eyes.

However, could you please allow me to say something?

"that..."

Su Chen coughed lightly and looked at Navelette: "Your Honor, are we no longer required to provide evidence or witnesses for prosecution?"

Navelette said, "Of course we need to."

"What about the evidence?"

Su Chen shrugged, a question mark appearing above his head.

“Miss Furnessa, Lord Ryder questions your accusations. Please provide further evidence.”

Upon hearing Villette's voice, the opera house fell silent.

Fontaine is a city of law and a country of justice. We must do everything according to the law, right?

Although Fontaine's laws are somewhat unreasonable when it comes to Lady Funina, they are not so barbaric that Lady Funina can simply snatch men off the street.

In other words, setting aside her personal wishes, she at least needs to provide convincing reasons regarding this 'case'.

"First!" Frynn was clearly prepared. She put her hands on her hips and spoke loudly, "Ryder, as my messenger, simultaneously serves as the Great Sage of Mount Sumeru and the Chief Inspector of Mondstadt. This is disloyalty!"

"Secondly! As far as I know, Ryder has forced others to do things against their will, which is unjust!"

"Third! Ryder is in love with me, yet he is having affairs with other women; this is infidelity!"

"Therefore, Ryder is guilty of disloyalty, injustice, and immorality!"

Su Chen: "???"

It does not make sense?

Isn't the first point reversed? I was clearly appointed chief inspector first!

When did I force anyone?

Just as he was about to issue a decree to the cardinal, the scales of justice suddenly tipped in favor of Funina.

"..."

Su Chen understood.

So, this is injustice?

Is this emotional court your private domain?

Navelette glanced at the stapler and said, "Clearly, what Miss Funina said is true."

"It's a ghost!" Su Chen's lips twitched. "Villette, if you're being held hostage by her, blink twice. Otherwise, are you, a Supreme Judge, going to join her in this nonsense?"

Navelette did not speak.

Upholding fairness has always been his guiding principle.

However, just as learning knowledge requires opportunities to be used.

Not to mention that Funina, as the water goddess, was his superior, the fact that she proposed going on a honeymoon for seventeen or eighteen years after getting married was a plan that Navelette found hard to refuse.

He'll be gone for seventeen or eighteen years! Wouldn't that mean he could finally live a peaceful life in Fontainebleau?

Without Funina causing a ruckus in the courtroom, he can solve cases three times faster!

So... Ryder, I'm sorry.

"That's not right." At this moment, a question arose from the audience. "If Lord Ryder is so terrible, why would that Lady Furina still marry him?"

"Yeah, yeah, something's not right, is it?"

"Knowing full well that the other party is incompetent, why insist on a trial?"

The audience members started discussing it.

"My people, have you ever heard of mutual support and unwavering loyalty?" Funina clasped her hands tightly to her chest, like a devout believer. Her gaze was filled with infatuation and sorrow, and within that sorrow lay an unwavering and resolute devotion.

"I have been through life and death with Ryder, and endured countless tribulations. This love is the truest and most sincere, so no matter what he becomes, I will follow him. Sing and celebrate my glory! I, the water god Fucarus, hereby declare that I will be with Ryder for eternity!"

Furnessa truly deserves to be called the most dedicated actress and the best actress. Her vivid and moving 'speech' completely stirred the emotions of the audience. Even Navilette on the judge's bench couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up - if he hadn't witnessed everything with his own eyes all this time.

Of course, back when Ryder was in Fontaine, he had already been shipping Ryder x Frynn. Now, he has only postponed this blessing for more than four hundred years. While satisfying his little desires, he also made up for the regrets of that year. Why not do such a thing?

"This court pronounces its verdict!" Navelette stood up. "The judgment is valid and shall be executed immediately!"

"Wait! I think this matter..." Su Chen was about to make a few excuses for himself, at least to try to change his life sentence to one with a wife, and then get a suspended sentence, a reduced sentence, and finally be released without charge, but his idea was interrupted before he could put it into action.

"Enough, Lord Ryder! Lady Fryna is already like this, what more do you want?"

"That's right, Lord Ryder, don't be ungrateful. To be able to marry a wife like Lady Funina is a blessing you've earned for eighty lifetimes!"

"If you dare to hurt Lady Funina, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

"Me too! Absolutely unforgivable!"

"Count me in!"

"I'll pay it back!"

Looking at the burly men in the audience, each one seemingly ready to fight him if Su Chen uttered a single "no," Su Chen could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

We've fallen on hard times, family!

I, the dignified Su Fanes Chen, have actually been overthrown by my inferiors!

No, if this gets back to Mount Sumeru, the Great Compassion Tree King will surely break all the branches of the world tree on his knees when he finds out!

If there were a template of natural justice, Su Chen would naturally be invincible, but unfortunately there isn't.

Even if we're going to have a wedding, let's do it secretly... you know, right?

"Oh no, he's trying to run away!"

Just as Su Chen was about to use Sword Saint's dash to escape, Paimon, sitting in the audience, suddenly shouted, "Don't let him get away!"

"Holy shit...Paimon!"

Su Chen leaped back with his sword energy, and with a few flips, he escaped to the main entrance of the opera house. Just as he was about to rush out, he suddenly felt a mysterious force descend upon him. The rules of judgment enveloped the surrounding space, freezing Su Chen in place.

Although the Heavenly Principle Template is no longer usable, the order of Teyvat still exists, and has even been strengthened, so the established rule cards can still be used.

However, it's no longer possible to create new cards.

At this moment, Funina gracefully landed and slapped a card onto Su Chen's forehead.

Snapped!

Rule Card – [Judgment]!

Everything seemed like history repeating itself.

The difference is that this time... it seems like they're serious.

...

In less than half a day, the news of Lady Funina's marriage to Ryder spread throughout Fontaine.

While the people of Fontaine were talking about Funina's marriage with great interest, they couldn't help but admire that Lady Funina was still the same as always. Who would have thought that a marriage would turn into a trial, with a life sentence and a wife serving a sentence? They had seen divorces before, but this was the first time they had seen a marriage.

As for envy and jealousy, it's just a joke at most. Everyone knows what's going on. Although Lady Funina is usually very friendly and cheerful with her people, she is, after all, a goddess. Gods can lower their status and interact with their people, but people cannot elevate themselves and overstep their bounds.

Besides, given what Funina said, who could bear not to offer their sincerest blessings?

That Ryder is a bit ungrateful; he actually thought about running away?

They were escorted directly to the top floor of the Mo Mang Palace!

Anyway, whether this matter succeeds or fails, it's already done. Now, everyone in Fontaine is a united front, working together to protect Lady Funina's happiness.

However, at this point, Lady Funina was a little troubled.

The verdict has been handed down, but the wedding still needs further planning. The funding has been approved, but what about the publicity? The guests? The wedding night... ugh, ugh, ugh, no more lewd talk!

"Hey Fukaros, you were so cunning just now."

On the way back to Fontaine, Funina complained.

"What's wrong?" Fukalos's voice echoed in his mind.

"You just mentioned 'the water goddess Fucarus,' but I've never seen you so proactive before. You swore to stay with Ryder for life, and now you're taking the initiative?"
