* MONA'S POV *

It was really quite fortunate that the Knights of Favonius offered me such kindness as to pay for not only my transportation to Fontaine, but also my own personal lodging for the entirety of this trip, they even arranged for my return trip in advance too! Of course, the circumstances that brought about this charity is not the most ideal... to have the Fatui sneak into a city as large as Mondstadt and to so brazenly kidnap a protected individual in broad daylight? And supposedly backed by a Fatui's Harbinger at that?

It was because of these extreme circumstances that I could fully understand why Y/N had been almost entirely silent for the majority of the morning, giving nothing more but a simple greeting to me and a farewell to the Acting Grand Master who saw us off. With Captain Eula and Outrider Amber being the ones who spoke with all those that had been arranged to transport us to Fontaine. Although I would have expected for us to simply take a ship from Dornman Port to one of Fontaine's ports, but perhaps it was too short notice for such a thing? Or perhaps the Knights of Favonius do not have the funds to so easily spend on such an excursion for just a party of us four? Rather, instead, we ended up taking a carriage that brought us to Wangshu Inn, and from there we were provided a small boat that would then take us through the rivers of Chenyu Vale, passing up through that quiet old fishing port, Yilong Port I believe it to be called?

Eventually, though, we made it to one of Fontaine's harbours, for us that ended up being Lumidouce Harbour. Once there we were dropped off by the Liyue boatsman at the harbour's port and we made our way up the lift that brought us to Fontaine's oddly higher-levelled waters. From there it was my turn to lead, and I led the two Knights of Favonius, with one of them still remaining quite mute, towards the main settlement of the Hydro Nation: that being the Court of Fontaine. However we only managed to make it to the outside of the Opera Epiclese before...


Garde #1: "You there! Halt!"

Mona: "Huh? Wait, you couldn't possibly mean... us? Right?"

Garde #2: "You lot look to be quite well-armed and adorned with foreign armours. State your business here at once!"

Amber: "Huh? Oh, well I guess we do stand out a little bit here, don't we!"

Eula: "Ahem! We have urgent business here in Fontaine, as endorsed by the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt. She has issued us with informative documentation to present to the relevant parties here in Fontaine that will explain our purpose here."

???: "And who, might I enquire, do you consider to be the relevant parties exactly?"

Garde #1: "Huh? Oh! It's the Surveillance Patrol Captain!"

???: "Hey, that's the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol Captain to be precise."

???: "And, with such a role here in Fontaine, I would believe myself to be capable of receiving these documents you mentioned, no?"
