At the Knights of Favonius headquarters—
Jean stared at the video, her vision going dark.
Is there no content moderation in this chat at all?!
She nearly fainted.
Deep down… she had already accepted the idea of eventually marrying Cao Zhong.
But this kind of thing before marriage—?!
And worst of all—
Klee saw it.
Her face flushed bright red.
Cao Zhong… look what you've done!
Meanwhile, the chat exploded—
[Cao Zhong]: Fake news! Fake news! This video must be edited!
[Kaeya]: Say no more. You're dead today.
[Venti]: Absolute scum.
[Cao Zhong]: Kids talk nonsense! Klee must be mistaken!
[Klee]: Hmph! Klee never lies! (bonk bonk bonk)
[Kaeya]: Everyone knows—kids don't lie.
[Jean]: @Kaeya …do you want to die?
[Kaeya]: I'm defending you! He did that to you and you don't scold him—but I say one thing and you want me dead?!
[Jean]: I didn't! Don't twist things!
[Barbara]: …You lied to me.
Inside the cathedral—
Barbara stared at the screen, heart shattered.
So this was love…
Cruel, deceptive love.
You said you didn't like him…
So it was all a lie?
[Amber]: Barbara… I understand you… (crying)
[Jean]: No! That's not it—don't believe this!
[Jean]: Barbara, you're my sister! Why would I do something like that?!
[Barbara]: Maybe you wouldn't… but what about him?
[Cao Zhong]: I'm innocent! You don't actually think I'd do that, right?
[Kaeya]: Oh, we do.
[Venti]: Absolutely.
[Cao Zhong]: You all really want me dead?!
[Kaeya]: Sooner the better.
[Venti]: Next life, try being a good person.
[Hu Tao]: Want to book a funeral service? Discount available~

Video Continues
Jean finally relaxed slightly.
Maybe this will pass…
On screen—
Klee had already calmed down and was happily blasting fish again.
Explosions echoed across Starfell Lake.
By the time she stopped—
The lake was full of floating fish.
Then suddenly—
Klee froze.
Oh no.
"Blasting fish feels great… but confinement feels worse…"
Cao Zhong leaned in and whispered:
"If Jean locks you up again, just do this…"
Scene Change — Knights of Favonius
Jean stood in front of Klee, serious.
"Klee, how many times have I told you—no blasting fish at Starfell Lake."
Klee puffed her cheeks.
"You lied! It says 'Deep Water—Danger!'"
Jean froze.
…She found out.
She coughed.
"That's not the point! You're still not allowed to blast fish."
"Now go to confinement."
"Hmph! Fine!"
Later — Confinement Room
Jean heard a soft singing voice.
She walked over.
Inside—
Klee stood by the window, looking outside, singing sadly:
"Sorrow, sorrow… turning my hair white…
Since I left my mommy, I live in this confinement room…
Tears keep falling…
Holding dry bread, no oil in the food…"
The song was so tragic—
It could make anyone tear up.
[Video Ends]
[Jean]: @Cao Zhong …You're quite the teacher.
[Cao Zhong]: …I swear I didn't know.
[Klee]: "Holding dry bread… no oil…" Hehe~
[Jean]: Klee… you learned fast.
[Klee]: Waaah~ Klee knows she was wrong! Jean, please don't be mad!
[Alice]: HAHAHAHA! My daughter is too funny! I'm dying of laughter!
Back in her office—
Jean looked at the chat with a dark expression.
A flirt, a drunk bard, a slacker knight… and a bomb-loving child.
"…Managing Mondstadt…"
"…is really not easy…"
