Rhine walked into the corridor leading to the Winter Palace. The light inside the palace was still dim and the tone was cold. It was not known whether it was due to the Queen's unique aesthetic taste.

Half a body length behind Rhine was Rosalin, who was wearing a red dress and a white cloak.

At this time, the Heart of God was being held in Rhine's hand. Although he had originally planned to hand the Heart of God over to Rosalind and let her report to the Queen, he would just listen on the side.

However, it is obvious that as the real executor of this plundering of God's Heart, Rhine could not escape the report of this operation so easily.

Rosalin was also unwilling to do this. After all, although she had set up many secret tricks in Mond, she had hardly used them. Instead, Rhine got the Heart of God single-handedly.

So not long after Rhine gave her the Heart of God, she returned it to her.

After turning another corner in the corridor, the two finally saw the tightly closed door of the main hall. Like the walls, it was decorated with gold and silver patterns. It was intricate and gorgeous, yet still looked desolate and cold.

At this time, the Ice Queen was sitting in the center of the main hall, with Piero standing on her left hand. The hall was empty and silent, so quiet that even this man and this god could hear the movements behind the door.

The two executive officers walked on the marble slabs, and the crisp clattering sounds of their thick-soled military boots and high heels reached the Queen's ears through the main hall door.

"The door isn't even open. Do you think the Queen has forgotten about us? How about we go back first?"

An inappropriate male voice came, obviously coming from Rhine.

"Be more restrained and don't be disrespectful!" Rosaline advised him with a cold face.

After all, he was going to meet the Queen, one of the seven rulers of the world, so he couldn't lose the proper etiquette.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Well, you said that the Queen sits on the throne every day, and it's so cold here, will She have a stomachache like humans?"

The conversation between the two was transmitted into the hall along with the sound of footsteps, causing Piero to slightly sideways glance at the Queen secretly.

It is indeed inappropriate to raise such a question in front of the Queen, but seeing that the Queen looks normal, she probably won't take such a matter to heart.

"Disrespectful!" Rosalin said softly with anger on her face.

At this time, the two had already walked to the door.

"I am concerned about the Queen. If something happens to her, it will be a loss for the Kingdom of Winter."

Rhine didn't care much. He spoke softly, placed his black-gloved fingers in front of the door, and pushed gently. The seemingly heavy door was easily pushed open.

All that came into view was the white figure sitting in the center, the cold and noble, inviolable God of Ice, the Ice Queen of the Kingdom of Winter.

And beside Him, the commander-in-chief "Pagliacci" Piero stood straight as a spear.

"Your Majesty, Mr. General Officer."

Rhine saluted the god and man in front of him with standard movements, and even the court etiquette officers of Zhidong could not find fault with it.

After entering the palace, Rosaline also bowed but stood still. Only Rhine continued to walk slowly forward, holding a black and red box in his hand.

"Under the glory of Her Majesty the Queen, we have successfully completed the mission, and your great plan has taken another step forward."

Rhine held the box in one hand and slowly opened it with the other hand. What came into view was a heart of God emitting green light.

On the throne, the cold figure nodded.

"Well done." Piero stretched out his hand and gently squeezed it. The Heart of God flew out of the box and fell into his hand.

"After arriving in Mondstadt, I pretended to be a traveler from winter, and used the Mondstadt dragon disaster as a starting point to infiltrate the Knights..."

Rhine briefly recounted the course of action, including but not limited to attacking the temple, destroying Rosaline's plan, sending Leonid to steal the Sky Harp, following the Knights to gain their trust, attacking the Wind Dragon, and negotiating with the God of Wind.

In the empty hall, there was only Rhine's voice and a faint echo. In front of the Queen, he said everything he could say.

Rosalin waited quietly by the side, listening to the secret experiences that she was unaware of.

Afterwards, Rosaline also reported her actions. Compared with Rhine's, her plan was more thorough and complicated. The only difference was that the Heart of God representing the God of Wind did not actually appear in the plan.

"You two did a great job."

After listening to Rosaline's report, the queen, who had been silent all the time, finally began to speak.

However, it always feels a little strange.

Rhine secretly glanced at the Ice Queen. Her whole body was glowing with a cold white light. His face could not be seen clearly, but he could barely tell that she had the figure of a queen. But that voice... why did it sound so young?

After greeting the Queen, the two of them slowly took their leave.

"Why do I feel like the Queen is a mascot?"

After leaving the Winter Palace, Rhine began to talk again.

"Can't you just shut up?" Rosalin suppressed her anger. She often felt like this whenever she was with Rhine.

Rhine obviously would not listen to Rosalin's advice: "Think about it, the Queen said very little and did not give any instructions. Even the Heart of God was taken over by Piero. Hey, I have a bold guess..."

"Then stop your bold ideas." Rosalin interrupted Rhine, her tone changing from anger to helplessness.

"The Queen is very busy and has many things to do. It is not easy for us to have an audience with her. How can she have time to chat with you?

Rewards and new appointments will be arranged by the general officer."

"Oh." Rhine stopped talking.

Rosalin's gaze drifted towards Rhine. This guy had a handsome but expressionless face and looked a little cold. His tall figure looked very majestic under the blessing of the executive officer's standard cloak. He looked quite cold when he didn't speak.

It's a pity that he has a mouth.

"Where are we going now?" Rhine asked again.

The two left the Winter Palace and were walking aimlessly in the snow-covered buildings.

At least that's what Rhine thinks.

"Should we do something? Or should we..."

Rhine suddenly took a big step forward, blocking Rosalin's path.

"What do you want to do again?"

Rosalin looked at Rhine strangely, and saw him bend down slightly and extend one hand.

"My beautiful lady, would you like to enjoy the snow scenery with me?"

Such normal behavior near the Winter Palace quickly attracted the attention of others.

Those who could walk around in such places were basically high-ranking officials of the Fatui, but when they saw that it was actually two executives interacting, they lowered their heads and hurried away.

"The snow has been like this since winter, there is nothing to see. If you can make it snow in the Xumi Desert, I would be happy to accept your invitation."

Rosalin did not refuse immediately. Instead, she gently placed her hand on Rhine's hand, then slowly stroked his shoulder, pushed him and turned him around so that his back was facing her.

"Now, get ready immediately, we are heading to Liyue."

Rosalin understood that simply expressing her dissatisfaction with Rhine would not change his style. It would be better to cooperate with him to a certain extent and get down to business as soon as possible.
