Paranoia.


After the fires in the palace, he has become even more protective of the little ones, so he never leaves them alone with the servants. He doesn't think they can protect the children enough.

But Chen suddenly contacts him for a matter requiring his attention on Earth and he has to go to take a look. So, since Cyno is nowhere to be found, he takes the children from Zhongli's residence and… brings them to the throne all, while the King is working. He has never been good at following palace etiquette anyway.
But at least he knocks and waits for permission to come.in, in the case Zhongli was having a meeting.

When granted to go.in, he briefly explains that he has some trouble to solve in Seoul and just dumps the children there, before hurrying off.
A kinda awkward moment follows.

Caireen «Why would he do something for me… we were just like… colleagues…» It's clear she is disappointed in him and the other Fontanians, regardless what she says.
«I tried to explain him that it was something inappropriate to say, but he couldn't understand most of what I said…» They are literally the most opposite people who could ever interact.

WonPil. «Thanks…» He bows and approaches to take the cup, but his hands are still shaky and he ends up spilling a little. Then he takes a sip.
He nods. «Ye… he came with us for a while. He… was with us until that person threw the gas cans at us… it only worked on him, though, but… Miko and I pretended to pass out…»
In Cyno's report there was also the fact that SulBang was in the hospital, which ruled him out as a suspect for the palace fire, meaning there is also a medical report about the fact he was affected by the gas.

She is taking careful notes of everything WonPil says..The new developments finally bring some hopes that there are proofs of their innocence.

WonPil. He gives Zhongli a kinda shocked look, at his words. «You… want to help me…? But… I thought… didn't I break our contract…?»

MORAX "It's nonsense. You both were leading Fontaine and working together on it. I hope he is not offering you excuses.
When you are savage, a too well spoken language can be confusing...eh...what to do, I don't have successful experience dealing with such particular children."

Blade moves his gaze on WonPil, placing his hand on his shoulder.

Zhongli keeps listening to the story. "I see...so that's what happened. You really provided a lot of useful informations.
Well, you left the palace and didn't need me to provide for you anymore...plus, it still has to be proven you are really guilty of murder."

Caireen
Caireen She looks down. «I… actually haven't met him, since the trial… in theory, I just disappeared from the world. I don't know if he has even been looking for me at all…» How could Neuvillette want her, when she has Zhongli's smell on her!!
«I am not good at it, either… perhaps General Jing Yuan has a more comprehensible language that allows them to communicate.» He gives Hudie bow and target!!

WonPil. «Oh… so the contract is no more…» He can freely commit crimes again!!
«What… is going to happen, now? I must go to jail until the trial…? I also think I lost my new job…» He sighs.

MORAX He slightly nods. "I see...but in the end it was your decision, if you like it here, you can stay. This is also a land of Justice. And Honour." He always forgets to say Punishment.
Hudie only understands that language anyway, Jing Yuan is on the right path. "Who knows...he is sure a resourceful and smart man...
I have still clear the terms of the contract. Plus, I don't think you are to consider guilty." He would never forget a contract.
"No, but you cannot leave the city, understood? And your friends." He moves his gaze on Yingxing. "You should come to the trial to speak of what happened as well. Your point of view." He then looks at Furina. "We have to get to SulBang and find all the medical reports."

Caireen
Caireen And Evil!! «I… would definitely like to stay here, to be honest…» She gets anxiety just at the thought to set foot back in Fontaine. Besides, there is not really anyone she fancies meeting, after the way they dragged her to that trial.
Hudie is the only youth who has not managed to piss Jing Yuan off.

WonPil. «I am a little confused… is the contract still existing or not…?» One thing is for sure, he will never make a contract again. xD
«Ye… I'm not going to leave the city… I will stay in LianSul's place until it's over…» He looks down, not planning to even just go out for a walk.

«I will go to see this person right away. Now that we have these new pieces of evidence, it won't be as difficult to prove the truth!» It probably can just move to the trial day, at this point.
