Chapter 84
As the night lanterns slowly rose into the sky, laughter and cheers filled the air. The festival was in full swing, and joy spread like wildfire among the people. The celebration only grew more lively as the night deepened, reaching its peak as the clock struck midnight.
Zhongli raised his glass, his golden eyes reflecting the warm glow of the lanterns.
"Everyone, Happy Lantern Festival!"
Glasses clinked as a chorus of voices echoed his words.
"Happy Lantern Festival!"
The next morning.
Furina lay sound asleep on the soft bed, the warmth of the sunlight creeping through the window. Outside her room, two Lancelot Knights stood guard, their expressions unwavering as they kept watch.
The golden rays illuminated the room, and Furina stirred. The brightness coaxed a small frown from her before she finally opened her eyes, still drowsy from the night before.
She sat up, stretching with a satisfied sigh, then turned to look at the vast blue sea outside the window.
"That was the best sleep ever~"
She made her way to the window, where the cool morning breeze caressed her face. Closing her eyes, she breathed in deeply, savoring the crisp sea air.
