Poisson Village
"Dragon King?"
Navia blinked in confusion.
"Wait—are they talking about me?
Not Lord Neuvillette?"
She wasn't doubting the screen, but—
It clearly said Dragon King!
In Fontaine, there was only one such being:
The Supreme Judge, the Hydro Dragon King.
And she? She was a normal human—
Correction: a pure-blooded Melusine-descendant human, thank you very much!
Mileës thought for a moment.
"Perhaps it's like that Liyue Adeptus — Ganyu — who was called a Coconut Goat?"
"So maybe you also have some unusual origin!"
Silver crossed his arms, nodding seriously.
"The screen never makes mistakes.
So… Lady Navia must also be a Dragon King!"
Navia rubbed her temples.
The logic felt wrong… but not entirely…
Ganyu: horns + childhood chubbiness = Coconut Goat meme.
Navia: …what Dragon King traits did she have??
Unless the light screen was suggesting she was some kind of Geo Dragon King…?
Which would be even crazier.
She sighed.
"This 'Unserious Commentary' is really… too hard to understand…"
Palais Mermonia
"Dragon King?"
"Navia??"
Furina was shocked.
One Dragon King in Fontaine was messy enough.
Two!?
Had Fontaine been hiding a second dragon king this whole time!?
Neuvillette immediately clarified:
"Lady Furina, I feel no dragonkin aura from Miss Navia.
She is an ordinary Fontainian."
Furina frowned.
"Then why does the commentary mention 'Dragon King'?
It can't have confused your video with hers, right?"
Neuvillette hesitated.
"…I thought the same."
After all—
Dragon Kings were extremely rare.
In Fontaine, he was the only one.
He cleared his throat.
"…However, the commentary has never been wrong before.
The angle is simply… bizarre."
A pause.
"Perhaps… I am also involved again.
Like how the Traveler keeps appearing in other people's videos."
Furina's eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh-ho!?
A crossover episode again!?
Just like 'Otter Neuvillette'!
Delicious drama!"
Neuvillette suddenly felt… very uneasy.
A cold omen ran up his spine.
"No.
This is Miss Navia's commentary.
It won't involve me."
He comforted himself…
But deep down—
he knew something terrible was coming.

Dvalin:
Another Dragon King? A new dragon sibling??
Lumine:
Navia has a Geo Vision!
Makes sense — she's the Geo Dragon King! 😈
Navia:
Partner… please lower your expectations… (sweating emoji)
Xiao:
Rex Lapis… would not approve. (sweating emoji)
Zhongli:
If she were a Geo Dragon King, the serious commentary would mention it.
Neuvillette:
Correct!
Paimon:
Then what does this mean?? (confused emoji)
Cloud Retainer:
Much like Ganyu's Coconut Goat…
Ah, that child was so plump as a youngster!
Ganyu:
C-Cloud Retainer!!!
She just wanted to eat popcorn,
not become popcorn!!
Furina:
Stop guessing~
I bet it has something to do with Neuvillette! 😆
Clorinde:
Like our previous… incident?
Wriothesley:
If so, that explains EVERYTHING.
Navia:
Huh?? Actually makes sense…
Lumine:
And the tone of the line?
"What Dragon King are you??"
Oh this is gonna be good 😏
Everyone:
🍉🍉🍉
Neuvillette:
…
Arthur's Livestream
Seeing chat explode with popcorn emojis, Arthur chuckled.
Time to drop the bomb.
"No need for explanations.
Let's go straight to the video."
Click.
Title appeared on screen:
[Fontaine Warlord! Dragon King? What Dragon King!?]
The video began.
Video Scene — Fontaine Opera House
Neuvillette was in court, holding trial as usual.
Citizens sat below, listening in silence.
Suddenly—
Lumine stood up and bowed deeply to Navia.
"Lady Navia, please… pray for rain!"
🎺 Cue dramatic warlord theme
Navia, now wearing sunglasses, rose from her seat—
pushing Lumine aside with a single shove.
The entire courtroom froze.
She strutted forward with arms folded, radiating gangster energy.
Stopping before the Chief Justice, she looked up—
A disdainful smile curled on her lips.
"Dragon King?"
"What Dragon King??"
"What exactly do you control?"
"Hm??"
The music intensified.
Navia pointed aggressively at Neuvillette.
"Dragon Kings ensure good harvests!"
"Peaceful lands!"
"Rain when the people need it!"
"You— little cutie—"
"Three months! No rain!!"
"Crops dying!!"
"People crying!!!"
"And you sit up there—coat on backwards—
PRETENDING TO BE A SHEEP!?"
"What Dragon King!?"
"You're a Deaf King!"
She slammed her fist.
"If it doesn't rain in three days—"
"I'll take big artillery and blast your cute little—
you know what— straight out of that chair!!!"
"DON'T BELIEVE ME?"
"JUST WAIT."
Three days later
Sky: perfectly sunny.
Navia: losing patience.
She raised her fist.
"Dragon King!!!
I!!!
AM!!!
ANGRY!!!"
💥 GIANT GOLDEN CANNONS APPEARED BEHIND HER
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Explosions rocked the Opera House.
A huge black mushroom cloud towered over Fontaine.
Narrator:
That day, Fontaine experienced a catastrophic rainstorm.
Sea levels rose.
All Fontainians dissolved.
Sins washed clean.
Video — END.
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
What… did they just witness??
Then the reactions erupted.
[Normal Chat Group]
Xevious:
HOLY–– that was NAVIA!??
Munio:
Did I dream this??
Lady Navia bombed the Chief Justice???
Yorio:
INSANELY COOL!!
Explosive justice!!
Albert:
TRUE Wild Rose of Fontaine!
I'm a Navia fan now!!!
Sister Victoria:
May Lady Navia blast you next.
Albert:
????
Sedna:
Poor Neuvillette…
Lawrence:
First bullied by subordinates.
Now… bombed.
Tityrus:
So THIS is how the Prophecy Crisis is solved!
(enlightened emoji)
Dinazette:
Navia's reputation... may Fontaine protect her.
Poisson Village
The villagers were frozen.
Jaw dropped.
Eyes wide.
This was their Navia!?
A noble young lady…
who calls people "cute little shts"
and shells the Dragon King over the weather!?
The contrast was insane.
Yet—
Her motive remained the same:
Protect the people.
Even if the method was…
highly illegal.
Mileës and Silver whispered:
"…This… is Lady Navia?"
"…Or some… extremely wild version of her?"
Navia herself:
"W–What on earth was THAT…??"
Miss Soybean finally broke.
She thought the nickname was already humiliating…
She was wrong.
This was the real killshot.
"Not Dragon King.
Not Geo Dragon King.
It means I bombard the Dragon King!?!"
Her soul left her body.
Mileës cleared his throat.
"It's um… just unserious commentary.
Slight exaggeration.
Normal. Completely normal."
Navia:
This is "slightly" to you????
Silver added:
"But it fits your personality!
If long drought harmed the people…
You would take action."
Navia slowly realized…
He wasn't wrong.
She always stood with the people.
Even if she had to confront authority.
She exhaled—finally calmer.
Then her face froze again.
"But those… those vulgar lines!!!
I would never talk like that!!!"
Mileës and Silver exchanged looks—
and burst into suppressed laughter.
Navia:
My elegant image… destroyed…
She squatted down, defeated.
Even the Wild Rose of Fontaine had been broken.
Palais Mermonia
The atmosphere was… strange.
Neuvillette sat perfectly still.
But his hands were trembling.
Beside him—
Furina was absolutely losing it.
"Hahahahaha!!
Bombarded over rainfall!?
I CAN'T—"
Neuvillette's jaw tightened.
It was happening again.
First turned into a sea otter.
Then bullied by subordinates.
Now bombed by Navia.
Because…
he didn't make it rain??
"Can the Hydro Dragon King not catch a break…?!"
His soul cried silently.
