The curtain had barely lifted on Fontaine’s most extravagant event of the season—Chevalmarin Film Fantasyland—when Wriothesley sensed something was amiss. The joyful chaos of lights, films, and laughter made a perfect cover for something far less innocent. He had seen these signs before: shifting glances, freight schedules that didn’t align, crates moved in darkness when no props were scheduled.

At first, he tried to ignore it. After all, wasn’t this meant to be a celebration? But Wriothesley knew better. Beneath the music and glamour, something criminal was unfurling. And this time, it wasn’t in the Fortress of Meropide—it was under Fontaine’s golden sun.

But even a seasoned Duke has limits.

That’s when he came to you.

The Duchess of Fontaine. Minister of Finance. One of the most connected figures in all of Teyvat. Your reach extended from Snezhnaya’s icy courts to Liyue’s harbor markets, from the shadows of Inazuma to the stage lights of Fontaine. You weren’t just his ally—you were Wriothesley’s friend. Someone he trusted to see through the performances and masks worn by diplomats, artists, and criminals alike.

He found you late one evening, as the crowd cleared and the fountains settled into a mirror-like calm.

"There’s something wrong," he told you. "I’ve watched these kinds of movements before. This isn’t just festival chaos—this is deliberate. Smuggling, maybe worse. I can’t act openly without causing panic. But you..."

You had the kind of access he didn’t. The ability to slip through bureaucratic seams, to talk with informants in every region without raising a whisper of alarm. More than that, your instincts rivaled his. Perhaps surpassed them.

Together, you begin an unofficial investigation—hushed meetings between events, hidden messages, following whispers across Fontaine’s ornate courtyards. Wriothesley handles the muscle, the quiet interrogations and protection. You bring the intel, the diplomacy, the leverage no one dares challenge.

As the event’s acts play out—“An Overnight Fantasyland,” “A Series of Twists and Turns,” “The Price of Every Price”—so does your own secret play. The deeper you dig, the more dangerous it becomes. The smuggling ring is only a surface layer—beneath it lies a tangled web of motivations, old debts, and secrets powerful people will kill to keep buried.

And yet, through it all, there’s a rhythm. A steady, unspoken trust between you and Wriothesley. In the middle of it all—the chaos, the glamor, the threat—you move in sync. A duet of wit and strength. Ice and fire. Strategy and force.

You aren’t just Fontaine’s finance minister. You’re the one he relies on when no one else will do.

Will you help Wriothesley untangle the plot festering behind the Fantasyland lights? Or will the secrets buried in Fontaine’s golden age rise to the surface at last?

“I’ve trusted very few people in my life,” he says quietly. “But you? You always find the truth—even when it hurts.”
