Primis: I think you have heard enough. So, why don't you stop pretending to be sleeping, Barbatos?

He said without looking back.

Makoto and Dvalin didn't seemed surprised because they were also long aware of that.

Venti: Ehehe. I just don't want to disturb you guys while you were talking.

Not minding his excuse, Primis spoke.

Primis: I will directly come to the point, Barbatos. If you really want to protect Mondstadt and your people, you better return back to your peak strength as soon as possible.

The bard smile disappeared as a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Venti: Is that thing really that dangerous?

Primis: You will know when it will come.

Venti: ...…How long do we have?

Primis: I can guarantee that there won't be any problem for the next one year. After that it can be at any time. Next day, next week, next month, next year, it can be at any time.

Venti: That's too little time!

Primis: I know. But that's all you have. Be prepared.

Venti: .........

Looking down, Barbatos fell deep into his thoughts.

Primis: Still, the situation of Mondstadt is better than other nations. The danger they will be facing is several times greater compared to yours.

Venti: Wha----

This really shocked the bard as he opened his eyes wide in shock.

Collecting himself, he hurriedly asked.

Venti: They will also be facing crisis! What kind of!?

Primis: You don't need to know. You better concentrate on your nation for now before worrying about them.

He turned silent at this. Thinking of something, he turned to Makoto.

Venti: It's been a very long time, Raiden Shogun. How are you doing?

Smiling the purple-haired replied.

Makoto: I am doing good, Bartabos. Though you seem to have weakened. Before "The Seven", all stood on equal stage. But now you have becoming the weakest one.

Venti: Hehe. Well, the strength of "The Seven" depend on the control of their nation. Since Mondstadt is called the city of freedom, its obvious that I should let its people have it. That's what is called Freedom. Not to be bound and in control of others.

Anemo God replied confidently. Hearing this, Makoto was impressed. She also like Venti's way of thinking. Too bad, Primis pour a cold water over it in the next second.

Primis: It's called laziness. You are too lazy to run the country that you let the people handle it on their own. The only thing you want to do is sing, drink, and sleep. That's all.

Makoto: ...…

Venti: ...…

Giving him a blank look, Makoto opened her mouth.

Makoto: Seriously…

Venti: ...No. There is no such thing.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Venti averted his eyes. He can swear that he even heard Dvalin laughed at this.

Primis: Anyway, you have enjoyed enough. It's time for you to take back your city.

Venti: ...I can't do that. Mondstadt is declared as the City of Freedom. If I take over it now then the city will lose its meaning. People will also be dissatisfied with this. And I am sure there will be those you can't accept it. As a result, there will be a rebellion. Like the one in past when people join forces to overthrow the Nobles like Lawrence clan.

Primis: It's true that some people won't be pleased. However, by the time you will recover your full strength and take back Mondstadt, it will be the prelude of battle. That time instead of becoming discontented, they will pray and worship you thinking that their God has returned to protect them. And also, with the return of Dvalin, both of your prestige will rose even higher.

Venti: ...

Makoto: ...

Both Venti and Makoto were speechless at that. They never expected Primis to thought that far.

Dvalin: How long are you going to make excuses, Barbatos? Just accept it already.

Venti: Not you too, Dvalin.

Makoto: As one of "The Seven", its your duty to rule, protect, and lead the people the right path. You shouldn't run away from it.

Venti: I am not running. It's just that...….

He then went deep into his thoughts. Thinking of many solutions.

Finally, he thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.

Venti: I know a way by which neither will people be displeased of me nor I have to go back on my words.

Makoto: Really? What is it?

Venti: That's----

Primis: Not interested.

Before he could speak, Primis interrupted.

Venti: E-Eh? At least let me finish.

Primis: No need. You want me to be the one to assume control of Mondstadt.

Venti: How do you know!?

'Primis: Because it's a piece of cake for me to see through your thoughts, boy.'

Seeing his silence put a wry smile on his face.

Venti: Can you giv----

Makoto: For this I agree with Barbatos, My Lord. It would be Mondstadt honor to be ruled by you.

Dvalin: I also think that Mondstadt will prosper under you, Your Excellency.

Surprised that Makoto and Dvalin were also with him, Venti also followed.

Venti: I have known Raiden Shogun and Dvalin for a long time. They won't just said yes to someone unworthy. Hence, this means my decision of giving Mondstadt to Sir is the right one.

Primis: I didn't agree yet. And if I will be one to gain control over it, how will you recover your power?

Venti: Actually, I have a way to do that.

'Primis: That way. Huh.'

Venti: So, what do you say?

Primis: We will see.

He still didn't give a definite answer. Nevertheless, Venti was happy. Since Primis didn't outright say no, there was still the possibility that he will agree.

Primis: In case I do agree, what will you give me Barbatos?

Venti: I will write a song and story for yo----

Primis: I want...….

Hearing that Venti was shocked.

The Next Day.

Things seemed to be heading back to normal for the City of Freedom as Lisa clarified the misunderstanding to the citizens about how Dvalin being poisoned by someone and how the Acting Grandmaster and others finally cure it. And with Venti playing the role of 'bard' to spread this tale, people calmed down.

But soon they all became excited realizing that one of the four winds of Mondstadt had returned. Hence, the gossip of Dvalin's terror soon turned to how benevolence it was. It's still surprising seeing how people changed so fast.

Anyway, currently Primis could be seen standing in the plaza, looking at the statue of Barbatos while deep in thoughts. Makoto was standing behind him as always.

'Primis: Since the first arc of Mondstadt is completed, things seem have settled down for now. Dvalin have gone somewhere to rest and recover his strength. Barbatos also followed. This means it should be time to go to Liyue Harbor.'

???: What have you done!?

Suddenly an angry shout was sounded behind. Glancing back, Primis saw Yuuya who was glaring daggers at him.

A day before Stormterror's fight, Kaeya and Yuuya had a party whole night and arouse in the morning. Still, because of so much drinking and hangover, they were too tired to do anything. So, they separated and went their home to have a good sleep.

In this morning, when Yuuya woke up, he was excited about his new adventure and plan. But reality slapped him right in the face when he heard that the Stormterror issue had already been resolved.

He thought he was still in dream because according to the plot, it took months to finish it. The moment lyre got stolen by Fatui, it took some days for Diluc to find the intel of their location. After recovering it, it took more days to recover the teardrops to restore lyre power. Then it took even more days to find the Abyss Mage to remove the wind barrier around stormterror's lair. Only then did they should have reached the finally fight. But now.

One day. Not even a month, just one day. And everything was over.

He felt like crying when he saw the System notification that the mission was already completed and his contribution in this was almost nonexistent.

While he was feeling depressed and reached the Knights of Favonius headquarters, he heard something which gave him the target to vent on.

Yuuya: It's because of you that Lumine, Jean, and Diluc are like this! They must have tried to protect you since you were nothing but burden to them! The only thing you knew was to take advantage of others!

There was another thing. Ever since returning, Lumine, Jean, and Diluc had never opened their eyes. Even when the healers or priests from the Church came to check on them, they failed to find any abnormalities.

They tried to do everything in their power but resulted didn't change. All three didn't show any change. In the end, all they could say was that have faith in the Anemo God. He was the only one who could do miracle now.

Once Yuuya went to headquarters, Lisa told him about their condition and how Primis brought them back. As a result, Yuuya put the entire blame on Primis thinking he was the perpetrator.

However, Yuuya who only wanted to use Primis to vent his fury had no idea how right he was. It was in truth Primis who was responsible for what was happening to them.

When they were returning on Dvalin's back, Primis used that opportunity to plant the memories and experience of their future selves. Hence, the reason they were like this was because they were going through all of it.

It was different from Albedo who had lived hundreds of years and had a strong will. Thanks to that, he was barely able to digest all of it in matter of minutes. Though it can't that fast for others. They needed time.

Nevertheless, Primis didn't bother explaining. He already told Lisa that they were currently in a very long dream. And will wake up after they were done. Even if being confused, Lisa didn't press forward after being assured by Primis that their lives were not in danger.

Though there was someone else who can't keep her mouth shut. That was none other than the deaconess of the Church of Favonius, Barbara. She was also the younger sister of Acting Grand Master Jean. Since she wanted to thanks Jean and pray Anemo God to give his protection to her sister for saving Dvalin, she entered the headquarters and learnt about it.

That's how rumors started spreading that to restored Stormterror's sanity, Lumine, Jean, and Diluc got injured and in the dire need of aid. Even when Lisa tried to reason with Barbara, she didn't listen. After all, the wellbeing of her sister was all in her mind.

Yuuya: Why are you not saying something!? Are you so guilty that you don't even have the courage to admit it!?

His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of all the people around.

Hearing what Yuuya was saying, they started gossiping among themselves. The disdain and disgust were visible in their eyes which they were giving to Primis. Soon the crowd increased and formed a circle with Primis and Makoto in the middle.

Anger, fury, contempt, hatred, scorn was all in their eyes. Even the Knights were among them. They were not there to stop the people from attacking Primis. They were here to stop him in case he attacked them.

Little boy 1: Go Away!

Little girl 1: Yes, leave! We don't need someone like you in our city!

Little boy 2: Don't dirt our city with your presence!

Little boys and girls started shouting at Primis. Telling him to leave. Soon, adults, old and even knights also followed.

People of Mondstadt: Leave our city!

People of Mondstadt: Leave our city!

People of Mondstadt: Leave our city!

People of Mondstadt: Leave our city!

People of Mondstadt: Leave our city!

...

This 'slogan' resounded all over the city. Almost every since one of them were yelling at him to leave.

One-by-one children started picking rocks and throwing at Primis. But because they were still some distance, the rocks didn't reach Primis. Though it was just a signal for others to do the same.

Makoto: How dare you!!!

CRACKLE!!

The Electricity came out of Makoto and destroyed everything that was thrown at them. Just when she was about to show her true might, Primis placed one hand on her shoulder.

Primis: Forget it. Let's go.

Makoto: But My Lord, these people---

Primis: Do you think I give a damn about what these people think or say to me?

He replied in his normal calm and indifferent tone. Goda don't care one-bit what mortals thought of them. After all, just a mere thought was all they need to erase them.

Primis: For now, there is nothing to do here. Hence, it's time to go.

Makoto: Go? Go where?

Primis: Liyue Harbor.

He replied as his gaze saw everything that was happening. He saw Lisa, Amber, Eula and some others who were trying to stop people but to no vail. However, there was something common among them. That was, they were all surrounded by some kind of transparent and aura. This is the same aura which was on Lumine, Paimon, Jean, and Lisa.

Chuckling inwardly, Primis gave one last glance to Yuuya who was trying his best not to smile witnessing the people response.

'Primis: You might be thinking that once I leave, you can fulfil your dream and make Harem. However, you have no idea how my departure will come to bite you.'

Primis: Let's go.

Makoto: Um.

BOOM!!!!

There was a roar of thunder as it shined blinded everyone for a second. But by the time they opened their eyes, Primis and Makoto was no longer there. Leaving only the Statue of "The Seven" who seemed to be looking at his people in disappointment.
