Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Be careful with your words, mortal! Unlike blindly arrogant people like you, we Dragonborn keep our promises and would never betray you!"

Scylla changed his previous gentle way of speaking and spoke loudly to Cassiodoro with some anger.

In his opinion, he was just following Remus's will and listening to his partner's arrangements. Why did he become a traitor?

Wasn't it Phoebus and Boethius who really betrayed them?

Cassiodoro also scoffed at Scylla's words. After all, he had witnessed Scylla's counterattack on the royal city with his own eyes, so there was no way he could be wrong.

"This set of rhetoric is even less worthy of mention than a mayfly in the water. Your betrayal is an indisputable fact. It was because of your betrayal that we lost the war!"

"If we hadn't lost the war, our country...the Supreme would not have--"

"You've been away for too long, Cassiodoro! The truth is not what you imagined. The counterattack on the royal city is not a betrayal, but an agreement between Remus and me!"

Before Cassiodoro could finish, Scylla loudly interrupted him as he continued to express his feelings and memories of Lemuria.

"Ah... But it's no wonder. That was a private agreement between Remus and I. It was a secret plan. How could those details reach your ears after I was imprisoned?"

"Plan? Agreement? What are you talking about?"

Cassiodoro looked at Scylla in front of him and asked with some difficulty understanding.

"Let me lead the dragon lizard army to attack the royal city. This is part of Remus's final secret plan."

"And all this is to save his country and his people. He is a man of great generosity..."

Having said this, Scylla sighed quietly, and his body, which had been shining with a beautiful halo, suddenly emitted a little golden light.

"Forget it. No matter how much I explain now... you won't believe me, because in your heart, I am indeed the murderer who destroyed Lemuria."

"But...if I am the murderer, then why did the Golden Bee appear in my hands?"

Looking at Scylla, who was emitting a faint golden halo in front of him, Cassiodore's thoughts were stuck in a quagmire and he could not move forward.

After a long pause, he murmured in disbelief:

"They only obey the call of the Movement... Why would the Supreme give the power of the Movement to savage dragons?"

"Because they...had an agreement."

Ying spoke softly, as if she had figured out the previous contradiction, and then told everyone what she had seen in those memory fragments.

"Well, what the little guy said is right. At that time, Remus told me that it was the problem with Phobos that led to the current result. Not only did they fail to control their fate, but they made themselves slaves to fate."

"Alas, I failed him by not reaching the golden palace in time. I then witnessed with my own eyes the waves engulfing the entire royal city, and my people were unable to escape..."

As Scylla spoke, he looked at the people in front of him, snorted coldly and said:

"Humph, speaking of betrayal, Boethius is the real traitor!"

"If it weren't for that lying demon and that deceitful rat who used sweet words to deceive us, how could I, as the descendant of an ancient dragon and the prince of the dragon race, be defeated so easily?!"

"That demon first lied that he was following Remus' orders and had ordered the legion to give up resistance. But when we arrived here, he suddenly attacked..."

"Cassiodoro, the traitor you identified is not me, but that demon Boethius! It was he who ruined Remus's final plan!"

"He probably already knew the purpose of Remus's final plan, which is why this happened!"

“…”

Hearing this, Cassiodoro took a deep breath, and then thought of the time when he first met Boethius.

"That guy...did such a wicked thing in order to fight for the control of Phobos..."

Cassiodoro took a deep breath, as if he was reorganizing his thoughts, and as if he was trying to make himself believe it all.

But Ying couldn't help but shook her head. She felt... this matter seemed not to be over yet, and the full picture of the matter had not yet been revealed to her.

"I don't think we need to jump to conclusions right now. It's normal to have doubts or something else. Once we see the 'demon', all the mystery will be cleared up."

Chang Ming whispered his judgment, and then set his eyes on the round door directly below Scylla.

"The question now is, how do we enter the royal city..."

"This is easy, just leave it to me!"

As if he had encountered a familiar area, Scylla smiled heartily, and the beautiful colors on his body began to flash at this moment. The dragon prince began to show his own power.

"It's just a broken stone door that's meant to be mysterious. Watch out, little ones!"

hum-

Along with a strange sound, the door directly below Scylla's body flashed a sea-blue halo, and the seal imposed on the Janus Gate also appeared at this moment.

"Hahaha, even though I no longer have the powerful body of a dragon, I can still break this kind of thing easily! Little ones, are you ready?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.

"Okay, follow me, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, extremely terrifying energy fluctuations began to gather on the long horn on Scylla's head, and then it easily broke the seal on the Janus Gate.

boom--

As the seal was broken, everyone followed Scylla and swam in quickly.

......

Under the dual escort of ocean currents and Scylla, they successfully arrived at the sea area where the "Golden Palace" was located.

Looking at the palace that was still emitting light after thousands of years, Paimon was a little surprised for a moment.

"Wow... Is this the former royal city of Lemuria? After all these years, it's still so... new? This is underwater!"

"And... the Golden Palace turned out to be a huge organ? That seems a bit strange..."

Paimon blinked, his dark eyes gleaming with curiosity.

"After all, the core of the Lemurian Dynasty is music, so it is normal to construct buildings in the shape of musical instruments."

"As for why it's so new... I think it's because Lemuria is recognized by the Faeries."

"A country that is recognized by the fairies is not a simple place from the beginning."

Chang Ming smiled softly, then looked at Scylla beside him and asked softly:

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to join us in settling accounts with Boethius? Or... do you have your own plans?"

Hearing Chang Ming's question, Scylla sighed slightly and said with some regret:

"Although I really want to go with you to find trouble with that demon, but... my strength is almost exhausted. Apart from protecting myself and helping you on your way, I don't have much strength left..."

"The dragonborn relies on a strong body, but my body has long disappeared in the passage of time, alas..."

"What's more, I have to protect the music from being taken away by that evil ghost. Otherwise... we will lose our last support."

Hearing this, Chang Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and then he took out the ball containing the Star-Eating Whale from his arms.

"In other words... as long as it allows you to have a strong body, it's fine, right?"
