A Winter Night's Lazzo
in a silent and cold snowdarkness storm, a red flame was seen trying to penetrate the cold, flying slowly to survive and not be swallowed up in the cold storm.

Ost : Elogia cinerosa
A song… a song could be heard from a girl who leaned her head against a chest, a chest that contained nothing but empty.
A voice that sounds majestic... but at the same time feels sad and full of lies...brings a chill in the harmony

"The sages think themselves to be all-knowing"
On the black and white board, you can see the different chess pieces. The knight moves and then defeats the black pawn.
"But we alone are wise to the virtue in those acts of folly"
"In this war, not even a single pawn may be spared..."
"Because on this chessboard, "checkmate" is not where the game ends..."
the red flame in the form of a butterfly landed right on the black pawn.

Pulcinella: We are gathered here today to remember our dear comrade
Pulcinella: In honor of her sacrifice, all work should halt for half a day as the nation mourns her passing
Pantalone: Hehe, merely half a day...
Pantalone: People say the Northland Bank's true currencies are blood and tears...
Pantalone: But Mayor, even speaking as a banker, that sounds a little unconscionable
Arlecchino: Rosalyne died in a foreign land...
Arlecchino: But you heartless businessmen and dignitaries
Arlecchino: Always with a convenient excuse to remain in the comfort of your homeland...
Arlecchino: You couldn't hope to understand
Arlecchino: So why don't you keep your mouths shut!
Arlecchino: We don't want to make the children cry...
Tartaglia: Hey, c'mon now, even I don't think this is the right time or place for a fight
Sandrone: Utterly risible!
Capitano: Though her methods tarnished her honor, Lohefalter's sacrifice is a great pity
Capitano: Her loss shall not hinder our progress. But Dottore...
Capitano: What of Scaramouche and the Gnosis from Inazuma?
Dottore: Conventional wisdom holds that Divine Knowledge cannot be rationally comprehended
Dottore: After conquering the Divine Gaze, he will make his next move
Pierro: It's time to end tonight's foolish theatrics. Right now, you have no captive audience
Pierro: Let every worthy sacrifice be carved in ice, and with this nation endure for all time
Pierro: In the name of Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa, we will seize authority from the gods...
Pierro: Absolute peace... Such is the gift from the Tsaritsa, such is Her Majesty's benevolence
Pierro: Now you rest in this coffin, encased in layer upon layer of ice
A butterfly with a red flame flew down slowly over the (empty) casket... then a determination of fire of hatred for the world flared up only to disappear...
Pierro: But, Rosalyne, I promise you... Your final resting place will be the entirety of the "Old World"...
the peak cold temperature froze everything...Zapolyarny Palace was swallowed up in ice...
a woman who was not only beautiful but carried a majestic aura walked up to the throne and then sat gazing at all the harbingers present on a cold night...
Pierro : Glory to the majesty tsaritsa
"Glory to the majesty tsaritsa!"
Tsaritsa : ...

Unknown... A mysterious figure with a black cloak fully covered is seen standing in front of a chessboard.
the unknown held a piece, or rather a gnosis (morax)…turned to the window light to get a better look at the gnosis held in his hand. Then unknown put the gnosis back on the chessboard in its original place.
Looking straight behind... one could see the harbingers gathered before the tsaritsa in their respectful bow.
Right under the hood of the unknown cloak, no face or expression could be seen… because there was only darkness. Then a mysterious figure walked towards the harbingers, though his steps made a sound no one heard him... even though his figure was gloriously illuminated by the moonlight no one looked in his direction... as if an unknown existence was completely ignored, like a ghost.
even though the harbingers or fatui are known all over teyvat because of how dangerous they are, Unknown walks around not caring until the end, he is standing right in the middle of the hall facing the harbingers.
observing were the right words for what the mysterious figure was doing right now.
Unknown : ....
unknown looked at the tsaritsa, realizing His figure was visible to the archon.
The tsaritsa sitting on the throne stared at the mysterious black figure, and the two of them stared at each other. then unknown turned away from the hall...
headed not for the exit but towards the dark blue portal that suddenly appeared in front of a mysterious figure. His figure that was swallowed up by the portal then disappeared along with the portal that appeared.
they only stared at each other for a short time, but it was as if time had frozen for the tsaritsa.
Pierro : Tsaritsa sama...Is there any problem ?
Tsaritsa said in a cold tone : Nothing.
Nothing... yes she really doesn't know anything about that mysterious figure
Tsaritsa could feel a bit of wetness right on the back of her neck, even though the temperature was very cold... she was sweating, she was the archon who symbolized the element of ice and the fear of those who opposed her...
now sweating right down her neck...
