Chapter 947 The Sky Should Clear Up

The sky, which had been overcast for a long time, suddenly started to rain heavily, and the people of Fontainebleau who had not brought umbrellas scattered and left.

After a brief period of chaos, only the Traveler's party, Navelette, and Leosley remained standing in place.

“Carole and Votelin…” Leosley stroked his chin, activated his elemental vision, and saw a Melosin wearing a court of law uniform and a human youth wearing a special patrol uniform.

Caroline's figure shimmered with a pearly light. 'Long time no see, Lady Vilette!'

The familiar young man beside her did not have the arrogance and anger that Villette had always remembered.

"Lord Navelette," Watlin greeted Navelette calmly, even with a smile.

Navelette: "Carole, Watlin, what's wrong with you...?"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt so warm and had strength, so we came out together to see you."

Caroline smiled and said, "I'm so happy to see you have so many friends to travel with!"

The Melosens, who were once scorned as monsters, finally integrated into Fontaine, and Lady Navelette, who had stood alone in the world, was no longer lonely.

Very nice.

After continuous efforts and with the passage of time, everyone has become better off.

"Do you doubt my attitude?" Watlin turned his face away, looking somewhat awkward. "...In short, I have never resented you."

Navelette didn't understand, "But that trial..."

In his heart, he had always felt grief over Caroline's death and the conviction of Watlin.

During his trial, Watling appeared filled with anger and hatred, and he certainly had reason to hate him.

'You're so cowardly at facing people's hearts and the truth...' Before Watling could finish his insubordinate words, he was elbowed by Caroline.

"If you had talked to me after I went to jail, you wouldn't have carried this regret in your heart for so many years. I suggest you express yourself more; people have mouths to speak... Pfft!"

After being elbowed again by Caroline, Wottering clutched his stomach and bravely finished speaking.

'Then let me emphasize again. I, Watlin, have never held a grudge against you, Lord Villette.'

Caroline and Votellin's figures emitted a hazy glow, suggesting they were about to return.

Caroline smiled and waved behind Villette, 'Thank you for the gift, it's so heartwarming…'

“They went back…” Paimon said, feeling both touched and regretful.

They hadn't dared to speak or move, for fear of disturbing Villette's conversation with her old friends.

Su nodded.

She actually greatly admired the concept of Teyvat ley lines.

Even though the dead cannot be resurrected, the ley lines can preserve a part of the soul and memories of the departed, leaving behind a trace of comfort and warmth from those heart-wrenching pains and regrets.

Navelette was still pondering Watlin's words when she suddenly heard Leosley's voice.

Leosley: "Did you notice the badges that Caroline and Watlin were wearing?"

Navelette snapped out of her daze and explained, "Those were the peace medals I awarded them."

Those were the first two peace medals, which he designed and made himself.

Carole's was destroyed in the fire, and Watlin's... how come Watlin has two?

“It’s very simple,” Leosley snapped his fingers, “because the other one is the Mutual Aid Medal, which Watlin designed based on the Peace Medal.”

“Mutual Aid Society…” Kong thought for a moment about the name of the organization. “I remember now. When we first came to Mero Petersburg, this organization recruited us, saying that it would help newcomers.”

“When I first arrived in Melo Petersburg, I also received help from the Mutual Aid Society,” Leosley explained. “The Mutual Aid Society’s mission is to help each other while striving to uphold justice as much as possible.”

"And the first president of the mutual aid society was Mr. Watling."

Leosley knew about that man from the old archives in Melo Petersburg.

"When the laws of the time could not bring justice to Miss Carolé, Mr. Watling ultimately chose to take revenge in kind and personally killed the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Although he did this, he also paid the price for his actions and did not believe that what he did was right."

Sue: "What's wrong with that? The fairest rule in the world is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. That's true fairness!"

Kong and Paimon were utterly helpless, "Su..."

They all knew that Su had always been a practitioner of simple justice.

Although Sue is extremely ruthless towards young adults who offend her, she is much more patient with the elderly, children, and small animals.

The main theme is to eliminate the strong and pity the weak, and to offer triple rewards.

Navelette slowly said, "Because Watling knows that ignoring procedural rules in pursuit of immediate justice, even if justice is achieved in some individual cases, will open Pandora's box, making every innocent person a potential target for punishment or implicated."

"No law is perfect; we are always looking for a balance between procedural justice and substantive justice."

"If everyone uses their own standards to carry out 'reciprocal retaliation' privately, then the rules that have been painstakingly established will inevitably return to chaos."

"The collapse of order will only bring more terrifying consequences."

"Watlin's trial and punishment served as a warning to all who follow."

Watling's anger and hatred during the trial were nothing but a performance.

Even though he is a capable subordinate of the Supreme Judge, he will still be dealt with impartially after becoming a criminal, revealing his embarrassing side.

Even if he had made countless contributions, even if there were extenuating circumstances, even if thousands believed he was innocent, the law is still absolutely just.

Memories flooded back to Villette, and he finally realized that the young man from back then had never changed.

He often wondered when he could walk into a rain without any worries.

Now, the sky should clear.

"Phew, the sun's finally out." Leosley shook his head and casually ruffled his wet hair a couple of times.

"Ouch!" Sue, who was wiping the excess water off Paimon's clothes, was splashed by water droplets flying from Leosley's hair.

Sue, with her strong desire for revenge, immediately ran to Leosley's side and imitated him by shaking her head violently, determined to throw the water droplets back.

Leiosley watched with great interest as the teardrop-shaped gems of varying shades swayed on the girl's crown, shimmering with an alluring light.

"This crown is of really good quality; it didn't lose many gems even after being shaken like this. Hmm? It looks like there's a piece missing here?"

Su: ?!

This outfit was given to her by Funina not long ago!

Su immediately held onto her headdress and quickly called her friends to help her check the situation.

Paimon cupped the girl's face in his hands, examined her for a moment, then flew around her once before saying definitively, "Perfect! Leosley was just teasing you."

Seeing the figure turning away and chuckling, Su was so amused that she shouted angrily, "Leo! S! Lee!"

Leosley took off running.

Su Kuang chased after her relentlessly, while Pai Meng and Kong followed to persuade her not to be angry.

Seeing the group chasing and playing ahead, Violet shook his head and slowly followed with his long legs.

Golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, revealing a crystal-clear sky, as if washed by water.
