Chapter 416 - 415: Ningguang, You’ve Done Too Much Wrong

"Um... Durandal, how much longer do I have to kneel before I can get up? So many people have already seen me like this. Isn’t this punishment enough?"

At the Angels Share, Venti was kneeling on the floor, looking at Durandal, who was sitting in front of her, expressionlessly drinking rice wine, with a fawning expression.

"You think this little punishment is enough? There’s a limit to joking around. How could you give alcohol to a minor?"

The main reason Fischl got drunk was Venti’s instigation. She exploited Fischl’s chuunibyou, deliberately saying things like, "Since you’re a princess, drinking alcohol should be easy for you," which made Fischl drink the alcohol.

Who would have thought that the inexperienced Fischl would gulp down the drink. Never having touched alcohol before, she quickly got drunk, leading to what just happened.

After Durandal clarified that Venti was the culprit behind all this, she immediately made her kneel on the ground to reflect, enduring the gazes of the surrounding pub-goers, making her socially mortified.

"Ah~ I just saw that even though she’s still a child, she tries to act mature. I just wanted her to experience something for adults. But I didn’t expect her to be so weak, getting drunk after just one glass."

After her initial rambling, Fischl had already collapsed on a nearby table, and her accompanying elemental creature, Oz, was watching over her.

Speaking of which, Fischl’s clothes are indeed quite daring. At least, most girls wouldn’t dress like that. The only similar outfit Durandal had seen was on Mona.

But Mona’s was due to a lack of Mora, which is why her clothes were simplified. Fischl’s, however, was purely to make herself look more mature.

"What she wants to wear is her freedom. As long as she can accept it and it doesn’t affect anyone else in Mondstadt City, she can do it. But for you to deliberately induce her to drink is just wrong. Aren’t you worried about being banned from the Angels Share in the future?"

Do you see Diluc not far away? Even if he knows you are the Anemo Archon, as a responsible adult, he cannot stand by and watch the Anemo Archon lead a child astray.

Besides, he’s not without ways to deal with Venti. If she dares to do something like this again, next time she might not even be able to get through the door.

"Ugh! I... I know, this time it’s my fault. Um... can I get up now, Durandal? I’ve really learned my lesson. Being watched like this is really embarrassing. Please forgive me, okay? Even if you want to punish me, let’s talk about it when we get back."

Venti looked at Durandal piteously. She knew very well that Durandal still doted on her, and this incident wasn’t too serious, just suspected of leading a child astray.

Durandal’s anger had mostly subsided. As long as she acted a little more spoiled, she believed Durandal would definitely forgive her.

"...Do you really know you were wrong?"

"Really, really, absolutely true. If I’m lying, then I swear I won’t go to your room tonight... Ugh!"

This person... can such things be said here? Didn’t you see so many people looking here? What if they heard?

Resisting the urge to hit her head, Durandal nodded: "Alright, then get up. Don’t do this kind of thing next time, understand?"

Durandal pulled Venti up from the ground, brushed the dust off her knees, and pointed to the dandelion wine on the table. That was what she had ordered for Venti. She didn’t drink that kind of wine, so it was for Venti.

Hehe~ Durandal really doted on her. Not only did she let her get up from the ground, but she also specially prepared fine wine for her.

Venti happily picked up the wine glass and started drinking, while Durandal sat opposite her, looking at her helplessly.

"I didn’t expect to meet you here, Miss Delezie."

At this moment, Ningguang walked over. The commotion Durandal and Venti had caused naturally attracted her and Beidou’s attention.

After seeing that the matter here was over, Ningguang came over to greet them, her gaze falling on Venti.

This young lady must be the person Durandal cares about. Don’t look at Durandal punishing Venti just now, but this is not something everyone can experience.

Facing someone she truly dislikes, Durandal’s tone would not be like that. Ningguang, who had once been disliked, knew what that feeling was like, so she understood that Durandal wasn’t truly angry.

So, the question arises, who exactly is this beautiful young lady? And how did she win Durandal’s heart?

"Hello, young lady. I am Ningguang from Liyue, currently the Tianquan Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue. Please guide me."

"Ah, I know you. The old man often told me about you, and Durandal also told me that there’s someone in Liyue she doesn’t really want to face. That person must be you, right?"

Ningguang was silent for a moment, her gaze turning to Durandal, her eyes seeming to ask if this statement was true.

To put it politely, she didn’t want to face her. To put it bluntly, she didn’t want to see her.

It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?

"And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!"
