The lady in Chapter 212 immediately did it too.

Speaking of which, recently that terrifying mushroom man, the dark version of Yora, and Sylvanas's re-employment—as a servant.

Recently, Arecino has been getting close to Furina a lot, making little Furina very uncomfortable.

Ever since the servant saw her performance last time, he's been observing Funina every day for some reason.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she had a crush on Funina, like some kind of fanatic fan.

Moreover, he was the kind of fan who used public funds to chase after celebrities, and he frequently came to meet with Funina in his capacity as a diplomat.

Furina was very distressed by this. "I'm really scared of you! Qiu told me you'll attack me in the future. Can you please stay away from me? But Vilette doesn't have time all the time!"

You attacked me even though Lin Qiu wasn't here. If you still attacked me even though Lin Qiu was here, then Lin Qiu's trip would have been pointless.

Unfortunately, I can't say these things to Arecino, and I can't show fear in front of her.

Getting back to the story, Kujo Takayuki's logic was unlike that of a normal person, and the traveler was too lazy to continue arguing with him.

Kujo Sara did the same, so she stopped talking to Kujo Takayuki and chose to go to the castle tower to correct Seito's misunderstanding.

[Kujo Takayuki: "Go if you want. No one can shake the Kujo family's position now, and the situation won't change because of you."]

"The general is currently in the castle tower, receiving the envoy from the winter solstice—the executor referred to as 'Lady.'"

The readers laughed. "Look at this guy! Before you even ask, he's already offering you information. He's a really nice guy."

No wonder you're working with the skirmishers; you two both seem to enjoy giving intelligence to the enemy.

It's one thing for Ying to be dull, and it's another for the two dolls she made to be dull; after all, they were made by her own hands, so it's understandable that she might have inherited some of that trait.

But you're a follower, and you don't have the surname Lei Dian, so why are you following suit?

Speaking of the Raiden family, all their emotional intelligence was given to Raiden Shin. After Shin died, the entire Raiden family suddenly lacked anyone with high emotional intelligence, with Raiden becoming the one with the highest emotional intelligence.

That being said, right after Kujo Takayuki finished telling the news, Kujo Sara rushed out.

The traveler was just a step too late; by the time he arrived at the castle tower, the 'Hatake Samurai' guarding it were already lying on the ground.

These people originally wanted to stop Kujo Sara, but Kujo Sara was in a hurry and they couldn't stop her at all. She fought her way in.

This made things convenient for travelers, allowing them to enter the castle tower without any obstacles.

When the traveler arrived before General Raiden, he found Kujo Sara lying on the ground, with the lady standing beside her.

Even though I was only a step late, I don't know why it feels like I missed an entire episode.

It seems that Kujo Sara was ultimately no match for the lady and was knocked unconscious.

In reality, Kujo Sara's expression was solemn; this woman was stronger than she had imagined.

It's only because Araki Ichito wasn't there that he definitely said something.

I guess he'll say something like he wants to recruit Kujo Sara as his underling so he can deal with the ladies next time he comes.

Kujo Sara would definitely ignore such words; Araki Ichito couldn't even beat himself, let alone the lady.

Kujo Sara continued reading and then saw the General's speech, which moved her deeply.

[General Thunder: "The mistakes of the people of Rice Fields are for me to punish. You are not qualified, 'Madam.'"]

That's right, it was this sentence that moved Kujo Sara to tears.

I trespassed into the castle tower, and the general actually protected me! He even wants to punish me personally! The general is so kind.

Barbara could understand her logical thinking; she had similar thoughts when the Sky Harp broke.

Even though it was Wendy who broke it, she still felt it was her fault, thinking the wind god was too gentle.

Kujo Sara was the same; even though Kage was clearly in the wrong first, she still felt that she was wrong.

This is the mindset of die-hard fans, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

However, Inatsumi still respected their Narukami, and was quite satisfied to see the Shogun's firm attitude.

In the story, the traveler sees the woman and calls out her 'name' with some anger.

The woman smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I know you can't forget me, you don't need to keep bringing up my name."

For most readers, the lady is indeed a familiar face. She appeared in Mondstadt and Liyue, always portraying an arrogant and sharp-tongued character.

Readers have already labeled her that way, so even though they can't hear the woman's tone, they've already imagined it in their minds and think she's sarcastic and unpleasant.

If Yae no Miko had said that, everyone might have been 'bewitched'.

For Ayaka Kamisato or Yomiya, it might enter a 'humid' state.

But if the woman were to speak, everyone would only be subjected to ridicule.

The traveler did the same; she chose to speak out and rebuke the lady's sins before General Thunder.

However, the lady didn't care about this at all, because in her heart there was only one mission: to complete the Queen's task.

[The woman said, "These insignificant figures, whose names would never even be remembered, have been able to participate in this revolution to reach 'eternity,' becoming stepping stones..."]

"Isn't this already an immense honor for their short lives?"

"General, what I said must be correct, right?"

[Thunder General: "......"]

The general remained silent, and Inazuma was filled with anxiety. Could it be that the general really thought so?

Are our short lives truly just insignificant figures, unremembered and mere stepping stones to Narukami, who pursues 'eternity'?

Are we... not being watched by the gods...?

The woman continued, "To barge into the castle tower and spout nonsense before the Emperor—isn't that just walking into a trap?"

The woman was right; she was the Winter Ambassador, while the traveler was a wanted criminal. They did indeed have different identities.

However, what the woman said was indeed unpleasant to hear; if it weren't for her status, she would have been killed long ago.

The identity mentioned here is not only that of a female diplomat, but also that of General Thunder.

General Thunder has autonomy, but in most cases he follows the pre-set procedures. For matters he has no say in, he listens to the inner workings.

Meanwhile, her inner shadow treasure remained in eternal meditation.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would have already killed the ladies and travelers; she wouldn't bother listening to their babbling.

Unfortunately, according to the pre-set program, General Thunder would not attack diplomatic envoys indiscriminately, so after listening to the lady's words, he remained silent and did not take action.

Character Voice Lines - General Thunder: About Lin Qiu

"...An eternal enemy! But I'll tentatively acknowledge his strength."

Chapter 213 Duel before the Emperor

As for Yingbao, judging from the fact that she was awakened from eternal meditation when she was pulled into the 'Pure Land of One Heart', she is probably still in meditation now.

Regardless of whether Shadow Treasure is awake or not, the Traveler has an idea given the current unequal status between the two.

"I challenge you to a duel before the Emperor!"

Lin Qiu drew an illustration for this, in which Ying holds a blunt sword and points it at the lady. The perspective of the picture is Ying's back. Due to the perspective, things appear larger when they are closer and smaller when they are farther away. Ying's blunt sword seems to be pressed against the lady's neck.

The words "I challenge you to a duel before the Emperor!" are written on one side of the image, and the font style is designed by Farusan, which perfectly matches the atmosphere of the image.

The readers were immediately fired up! Especially Inazuma, who saw the duel before the emperor as a solemn and sacred event, a duel in front of the shogun!

Inatsume was overjoyed. She'd disliked this woman for a long time. Did she even speak like a human being? Her mouth was so foul! Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she can be so great!

The Mondstadt people are satisfied. "Serves you right for attacking our Anemo! Traveler, go and slap her twice!"

The general was quite satisfied. Anyway, I wanted to kill both of you, and a duel in front of the emperor gave me a reason to do so.

General Thunder nodded: "Yes."

Everyone is satisfied, so who isn't?

First, we can rule out ladies who start reading right after the winter solstice; that would obviously be Kujo Sara.

She was very dissatisfied, dissatisfied that she had not challenged the lady to a duel before the emperor.

This isn't a question of whether we can win or not; it's a question of whether we absolutely have to fight!

The lady in the story was a proud person, so she naturally wouldn't refuse the traveler's challenge to a duel.

[Lady: "Hehehe...then let me condescend to dance with you, until the very end of our lives."]

"This exemplifies the power and elegance of an executive, as you wish."

Another illustration, this time for a lady, a close-up of her beauty, with the caption 'The Eighth Seat of the Fools - A Lady'.

The woman in the picture walks with elegance and has an arrogant posture. Her figure is so stunning that she could draw a knife, but unfortunately, she has a foul mouth.

Lin Qiu wrote about the battle between the lady and the traveler with great care.

However, Rosalyn really hoped that Lin Qiu wouldn't write it so seriously, because this would be tantamount to telling the whole world her moves and routines.

She's not a fighting genius like Tartaglia; her moves are relatively fixed.

What's even more outrageous is that Lin Qiu not only writes, he also draws. He even draws out the effects of some of the ladies' moves, as if he's afraid others won't know.

Not only her moves when using ice elements, but also all her moves when she transforms into the 'Flame Witch' are drawn.

The woman brandished her fiery whip, shouting hysterically, "No! Call me a witch!!"

Readers were puzzled: no one called her a witch, so why did she seem to react negatively to that title?

In the end, she seemed to murmur to herself, "I never needed redemption... I never did!"

Readers were even more confused: What redemption? They didn't understand!

The woman in the story was defeated by the traveler and transformed back into her normal form from the 'Flame Witch'.

The woman exclaimed in surprise, "Your strength..."

The woman could clearly sense that the traveler's strength had increased significantly compared to before.

Back in Mondstadt, she was just a little Karami who could be easily manipulated by me. How come she's so powerful now?

The woman in real life knew why, because she knew from reading the prophecy book that even if the Traveler hadn't recovered all his strength, he would still be stronger than her.

So Rosalyn wasn't surprised by her defeat; she knew she was no match for the traveler.

She was more interested in knowing her fate and how the traveler would deal with General Thunder.

The Traveler is stronger than himself, but considering that even when the Twins were at their peak, they couldn't defeat the Ruler of Heaven together, the Traveler wouldn't be that strong even if he regained all his strength.

If the Traveler in his prime was like this, how can the Traveler now defeat Thor?

Then Rosalyn saw an illustration of General Thunder drawing his sword, looking calmly at the lady, and walking slowly forward.

The lady ordered the general not to go any further, for she was the envoy of winter.

Unfortunately, the general never cared about the woman's status; in his eyes, she was nothing more than an insignificant figure.

In another illustration, General Thunder is behind the lady, and with a flourish of his sword, the lady's figure is engulfed in lightning.

Kujo Sara felt a surge of spiritual energy rush straight to the top of her head, which was incredibly exhilarating, and her thoughts became clear.

D'Artagnan frowned slightly. Although he always argued with women and disliked them, he couldn't bring himself to laugh when he saw his colleague die tragically.

However, the woman in real life didn't die, so I'll have to tease her next time we meet.

Wendy remained silent, and the Flame Witch was finally 'burnt to ashes'.

"So, this is my original fate?" Rosalyn actually laughed, showing no anger at the prospect of her own death.

“Qiu Cheng…” Rosalin fell silent, then regained her haughty attitude after a moment, “As expected, you still want to burn it down.”

However... since you're still useful to Her Majesty the Queen, I'll burn your books, but not you.

Rosalyn clapped her hands to brush away the ashes, then skillfully picked up another book from the side and continued reading.

General Thunder said to the Traveler, "You are my eternal enemy..."

The traveler gripped her longsword and watched General Thunder warily, but in truth, she was already quite exhausted after fighting the lady.
