Chapter 273 Imprisonment in Mello Petersburg
As Qiuhe collapsed, Si Naqi rushed forward with tears in her eyes, knelt on the ground, and shook Qiuhe's body repeatedly. "Brother! Brother! Wake up, brother!"
Seeing this, Funina, who was sitting to the side, finally came to her senses and hurriedly checked on Qiuhe's condition. At this moment, Sedna, several guards from the Court of Law, and Melusin from the Shadow Chaser also arrived.
Looking at the damaged office walls, but seeing that the surrounding buildings weren't too badly damaged, the guards and Melissa waited quietly for Vilette's judgment.
Although Qiuhe's madness was beyond his control, and Vilette understood this, the destruction of official and public buildings, coupled with his attempt to assassinate a god, still constituted a serious offense.
These crimes were undeniably violations of the law. Leaving aside the previous charges, the assassination of a deity alone was enough to land anyone in Mello Petersburg for a lifetime.
Just as Villette was about to order someone to take Qiuhe away first—after all, his vital signs were extremely weak, and he needed to be healed before discussing the subsequent trial—she decided to do so.
But just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and as Villette's tie swayed in the wind, a piece of paper fell out from inside it.
Seeing this, Navisette bent down and picked up the note with some confusion. After opening it and looking at the handwriting, Navisette's expression began to show a hint of surprise.
He looked up at Qiuhe lying on the ground, then at the note in his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke:
"For damaging buildings in Fontaine and attempting to assassinate a deity, Article 394 of the Fontaine Law clearly states that, with absolute evidence, violations of Article 394 do not require further trial. Guards, please take him to Mello Petersburg."
Upon hearing this, the guards all obeyed and were about to take Qiuhe away. "Hey, wait a minute! There must be some misunderstanding. Qiuhe wouldn't do such a thing. You can't arrest him now."
Fu Ningna stood protectively beside Qiuhe, shouting loudly to stop them from taking him away. Seeing this, the guards froze, looking troubled.
“Ms. Furna, Article 394 of the Fontaine Law clearly stipulates this. Moreover, the victim is yourself, a deity. Therefore, the evidence is sufficient, and no further explanation is needed. If you have any dissatisfaction, then according to Article 395, he must first be imprisoned in Mero Petersburg before any further explanation can be given.”
Funina stammered, unsure how to respond. She was the one who established the laws, and she naturally understood Articles 394 and 395. Regardless of any misunderstandings, once Article 394 was upheld, even if there was an injustice, Article 395 would apply.
Just as Funina was at a loss and several guards were about to take Qiuhe away, Sinaqi suddenly picked up Qiuhe's sword and pointed it at the approaching guards.
"Hey, you're not allowed to come any closer! Don't even think about hurting my brother!" The girl stood in front of Qiuhe, clearly indicating that anyone who took a step forward would die.
But then they remembered that the other person was just a little girl, and although she was holding a sword, she didn't pose any real danger. Just as the guards were about to step forward and restrain Sinaqi...
Sinaqi swung her sword at a guard, who instantly drew his own, thinking that a little girl wielding a sword wouldn't be able to cause any harm, and tried to block Sinaqi's attack.
But the moment the blades touched, the guard's one-handed sword snapped in two. Sinaqi's hand, still gripping the sword, didn't stop; just as the sword was about to strike the guard...
Suddenly, a large puddle of water materialized in the air, completely enveloping the sword in Sinaqi's hand. The sword was now as if welded shut, and no matter how hard Sinaqi tried, she couldn't move it an inch.
The guard whose sword had been broken was also startled and took two steps back. "Guards, please restrain her!" Seeing that Sina's sword had been disarmed...
Several guards quickly stepped forward and restrained her. "Hey, let go, let me go! You're not allowed to touch my brother!" Sinaqi's constant struggles shocked the guards.
Despite being just a little girl, they seemed to be losing control. The next second, Sinaqi clenched her fist and forcefully threw the guard who was grabbing her right hand to the ground.
The other guards were also almost completely unable to control Sinaqi. Everyone couldn't help but think that this was no longer a little girl; she was more like a maddened bull.
Just as Si Naqi struggled to lift her head and was about to break free, a few drops of water suddenly floated towards her. As the drops fell on her face, Si Naqi suddenly felt weak all over, her vision began to blur, and she looked at Qiu He with a sad and self-reproachful expression.
"elder brother."
Two tears slid down Sinaqi's cheeks. Finally, her vision went black, she stopped struggling, and her body went limp. "Notify those Fool's diplomats operating in Fontaine to bring this girl to them. As for the one lying on the ground, take him away."
After receiving their orders, the guards helped Qiuhe up. "Wait, even if we're going to take him to Mero Petersburg, Qiuhe is injured like this; we should treat him first," Funina called out from the side.
Upon hearing this, Navelette spoke up as well. "Ms. Furnessa, you don't need to worry about that. Guards, after you bring him to Mello Petersburg, please inform the head nurse to treat him."
At Villette's command, several guards led Qiuhe to Mello Petersburg. Meanwhile, far away at the headquarters of the Fools in Winter's End...
The doctor stood by the window, quietly gazing at the sky outside. Finally, he slowly raised his hand, holding a test tube containing an unidentified black liquid.
The doctor, who had been silent, suddenly muttered to himself, "Is that so? Then, send someone in." After saying this to himself...
The black liquid in the test tube in the doctor's hand suddenly faded, turning into a pale blue. Seeing this, the doctor remained silent for a few seconds, a strange and chilling smile gradually creeping onto his lips. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually set, and darkness fell.
"Brother, brother." Sinaqi mumbled incoherently in her sleep, lying on the bed. After her head rolled slightly twice, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up abruptly.
"Brother!" Sinaqi suddenly shouted. The people who were taking care of Sinaqi beside her saw that she was awake and quickly went over to comfort her.
"Senna, calm down, calm down, you're at home now. Calm down, take a deep breath. It's okay, it's okay." Kreeway whispered softly beside her.
After catching her breath a few times, Sinaqi realized she was sitting on the bed. The next second, as if suddenly remembering something, she grabbed Kree's hand beside her and, with a choked voice, quickly said...
"Sister Clementine, my brother... my brother, he... something happened to him!"
"What!?" Everyone stared in shock upon hearing that Qiuhe was in trouble. "Hey, Sinaqi, what happened? What's wrong with Leyi?"
After a flurry of questions from the group, Si Naqi recounted everything that had happened that afternoon. She learned that Qiuhe had destroyed a room's wall during a mad outburst, nearly assassinated the Water God, and was ultimately sentenced to imprisonment in Melo Petersburg. He was also injured. Initially, everyone was extremely panicked.
But upon hearing that Qiuhe had only been imprisoned in Mero-Petersburg, their restless hearts gradually calmed down. After all, Qiuhe had said in her previous life that in Mero-Petersburg, one could earn a comfortable life simply by working, and Qiuhe should be safe there.
But Clay thought that it was ultimately a prison, and Qiuhe would surely suffer terribly there, especially since he was injured. Thinking of this, Clay looked worried and on the verge of tears.
But compared to her, who was on the verge of tears from worry, Sinaqi was already sobbing uncontrollably. "Sinaqi, be good, don't be sad, we'll find a way to rescue Leyi."
Kree was also sad and wanted to cry, but being sad and upset was useless now. No matter how much she cried, she couldn't bring Qiuhe back. Besides, it was getting dark, so she could only wait until tomorrow to find a way to rescue Qiuhe.
No matter how much she was comforted, Sinaqi continued to sob and cry. "I...I...it's all my fault! Waaah...I'm so useless. My brother taught me so much, but I...I couldn't even protect him when he was in danger. It's all my fault, waaaah..."
As Senna continued to suffer, Kree, who had been heartbroken but trying to hold back her tears, was also moved by Senna's cries and couldn't help but shed tears herself.
The others also looked anxious. It was already difficult enough to soothe Sina by crying alone; if Kree also started crying, it would be impossible to know how long it would take to calm her down.
But unexpectedly, after shedding those two tears, Clay gritted her teeth and forcibly suppressed the emotions that were about to erupt.
She already knows her mother's true colors, and the future will only bring more separations and pain. If she still can't learn to be strong now, she will truly become a burden to everyone.
Finally, Kreewei hugged Sina tightly. She knew all too well that tears of pain and sorrow wouldn't stop easily, so all she could do now was offer Sina as much warmth as possible.
