The Noclan Family would never have dreamed that the forces seemingly unrelated to Palais Mermonia, and even diametrically opposed to it, had already allied with Palais Mermonia because of Yuto.
In the public eye of Fontaine, Meropide is not under the direct jurisdiction of Palais Mermonia, and this point has been very well concealed by Yuto, so it has not been exposed until now.
—Even if Wriothesley comes to Palais Mermonia, he has to find a reason for himself.
And naturally, standing opposite Palais Mermonia are the Fatui and the Northland Bank.
After Arlecchino, Columbina, and Yuto had these few dealings, all the Fatui responsible for gathering information within Fontaine had been withdrawn.
And the Northland Bank also reached a cooperation with Palais Mermonia because of Arlecchino.
In other words... as long as Arlecchino, the Fourth Seat, and Columbina, the Third Seat, do not fall, Snezhnaya's attitude towards Palais Mermonia will be completely friendly.
Heh...
Only inheriting old Noclan's intelligence and talent, but not his true aristocratic virtue, his original cleverness turned into cunning.
Without the support of virtue, talent becomes a rootless duckweed; no matter how talented one is, they will not gain more appreciation.
The Noclan Family's repeated setbacks and major disasters were all due to this reason.
Arrogant and rude, thinking they are smart, but in reality, they are nothing.
And for such people, since Yuto could deal with them once or twice, he can naturally handle them steadily a third time.
As for the fourth time...
The saying 'third time's the charm' also applies to Yuto.
If he doesn't completely nip these restless Woodworms in the bud this time, he'll write his name backward!
...
No matter how excellent a playwright, writing a first draft of a script takes at least one or two days.
Claude is undoubtedly an excellent playwright, and the kind who has very high standards for himself.
The time he took to write this script... probably more than one or two days.
Three days later.
Today, Traveler and Paimon walked through the streets of Fontaine as usual.
Now, their identities are completely different from four days ago.
Four days ago, they were legendary adventurers with no commissions to do, and today... they are legendary adventurers who have taken on a task from Palais Mermonia but still have no commissions to do.
Why are they still categorized as 'having no commissions to do' even after taking on a task from Palais Mermonia?
Ultimately... it's because these two ran around asking too aggressively in the past few days, so much so that they can see familiar faces walking down the street now.
Ha, every face is one they've seen before; even if they ask again, they won't get any new information.
Because of this, these two can only wander back and forth on the streets of Fontaine while looking for anxious-looking passersby to ensure their basic income.
Although they are currently working for Palais Mermonia, Yuto and Fontaine's labor law don't prohibit employees from taking part-time jobs~
People always have to eat, after all~
Of course, unlike the atmosphere a few days ago... almost every passerby on the streets of Fontaine was discussing the headline published by Steambird Newspaper a few days ago.
"Eh, what do you think... what does it mean for Lord Yuto and Lady Furina to share the stage?"
"Shh! Is that kind of relationship something you can gossip about? Be careful, those patrolling security guards might take you to Meropide!"
"But speaking of which, Lord Yuto's performance of 'Boethius' last time was truly exhilarating!"
"Yes... there's a wild side to it, demanding glory to bow before him. Tsk tsk tsk, wasn't that also Lord Yuto's earliest appearance?"
"Ah?"
"Oh right, have you two encountered any internal personnel discussing The Prophecy with you these past two days? I bet these two adults performing together is definitely for this!"
...
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding passersby, Traveler and Paimon exchanged a smile, neither of them making any comments.
After all... Yuto also said that he didn't want the outside world to know too much in advance, otherwise, there would be no sense of anticipation.
"Hehe~ It seems we're also considered internal personnel~"
Hearing this, Traveler shrugged slightly, saying nothing.
However, just as the two were about to continue searching for 'part-time' opportunities on the street... Katheryne called out to them.
"Traveler, please come here for a moment."
Hearing this, Traveler and Paimon instinctively exchanged glances, nodded gently to each other, and then came before Katheryne.
"Katheryne, is there something you suddenly called us for? Or... is there an exceptionally urgent bounty commission?"
Katheryne smiled and shook her head, then took a stack of manuscripts from a drawer beside her and handed them to the two in front of her, saying:
"The previous client said... please deliver this manuscript to Palais Mermonia, and after it's reviewed and approved, send it to this address."
Katheryne said this while selecting a location on Traveler's map, and then continued:
"If it doesn't pass the review, then please deliver this manuscript to his home and inform him of the content and plan that needs to be revised."
"Okay, we're off~"
Paimon nodded gently, then smiled at Traveler beside her and said:
"It seems Claude is really efficient~"
Traveler also nodded in approval.
She remembered asking Yun Jin about the creation time of 'Divine Damsel of Devastation' during the Lantern Rite.
At that time, Yun Jin said that even though her Father was already a renowned actor in Ritou when he created this play, it still took him at least a week to compose the lyrics.
And she herself, after fully experiencing Shen He's story, took many more days to revise the entire story that the play wanted to convey.
Although the difficulty of creating scripts for Fontaine Opera is slightly lower than that of Ritou traditional Fontaine Opera, the massive amount of text... just thinking about it makes one's heart tremble.
Based on this understanding, Traveler truly felt that it was already very impressive that Claude could completely write this script in three days.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly ran to Palais Mermonia with Paimon.
After all, whether it's reviewing or offering opinions, the Chief Justice, who has considerable research into Fontaine Opera, certainly has more say.
