Chapter 287: Journalists are good at climbing the ladder
Professional journalists are all good at taking snapshots, and Charlotte is particularly good at it.
So this time, her snapshot perfectly showed Funina's dress and temperament at that moment!
The only thing that made Charlotte a little dissatisfied was that the surrounding environment did not match the clothes on Fernina.
In Charlotte's opinion, wearing such clothes, Lady Finina should be placed among the mountains and waters of Liyue, so that she would be a perfect match!
At this point, the article is somewhat off topic, which is a pity.
As soon as she finished taking the photo, Finina entered the passage over there and climbed up the stairs leading to the upper level. Charlotte could no longer take the photo.
She put down the camera with some regret, but Charlotte wasn't particularly regretful.
Because she is already satisfied.
Take an eye-catching photo like this today, and it will be on the front page of Steambird News tomorrow!
After many days, Lady Funina appeared in Momang Palace for the first time.
When she appeared, she was wearing Liyue clothes. Isn’t this news topical and eye-catching enough?
That's enough!
Charlotte turned around with satisfaction. She wanted to leave the Momang Palace and come up with a great news headline on the way back to the Steambird Newspaper Office.
However, just as she turned around and had not yet moved forward, a lady blocked her way and stood in front of her.
Slightly startled, Charlotte looked up and found that in front of her was... Fontaine's strongest duel agent, Clorinde.
When Charlotte found out that it was this lady who was usually serious and seemed difficult to communicate with, she suddenly froze!
Facing Clorinde, Charlotte shuddered involuntarily and wanted to reach out to greet her:
"Hello, Ms. Clorinde. Why are you here?"
Clorinde stared at Charlotte silently.
She folded her arms and said nothing for a moment.
Why is she here?
Of course, she usually stays on standby at Momang Palace. Today, she suddenly received news from Lord Villette. She heard that Lady Funina had returned, so she hurried over.
As a result, when she just arrived, she found that someone was taking a secret photo of Lady Funina, and the person who took the photo was the most professional and outstanding reporter in Fontaine.
Thinking of this, Clorinde reached out and put her hand on Charlotte's shoulder:
"Miss Charlotte.
The legal provisions of Fontainebleau clearly stipulate that it is not allowed to take secret photos of gods without their knowledge.
You have just violated this rule. Please delete the photo you took.
In addition, regarding Lady Finina, you also need to ask for Lady Finina's forgiveness and receive the due punishment from Lady Villette.
I won't send you to Melro Petersburg, but you still can't miss out on the punishment you deserve."
After hearing this, Charlotte's expression changed immediately.
In their line of work as journalists, the bottom line often has to be flexible.
Therefore, it is common for journalists to violate some Fontaine legal provisions and receive punishments that are neither light nor severe.
She never expected that Charlotte would suffer the same consequence today!
Then Charlotte immediately clasped her hands together and begged Clorinde with all her might, practically prostrating herself before her:
"Ms. Clorinde, please show some mercy!
"What I just did... couldn't be considered a candid photo! At most, it was a candid photo! I can't say this is violating Fontaine law, right?"
Clorinde shook her head slightly:
"Taking something without permission is called stealing.
By the same token, taking photos without the subject's consent is undoubtedly a form of candid photography, and this is indisputable."
Charlotte's expression suddenly became much more miserable.
There was really no other way, she could only use her clever little brain to find a solution to the problem.
Although she also expected that the punishment this time would not be particularly severe, it would of course be best to avoid punishment.
After all, it was Charlotte who quickly thought of a way out.
She still clasped her hands together, maintaining a begging gesture, and begged Clorinde very sincerely:
"Ms. Clorinde, is it true that as long as I obtain the consent of the person being photographed, or obtain the forgiveness of the person being photographed, I will not be punished?"
After thinking for a while, Clorinde said expressionlessly:
"That's how it should be."
Charlotte patted her chest thankfully:
“That’s good, that’s good!
Next, I won’t go anywhere, nor will I go back to the Steambird Newspaper Office. I will just wait here for Lady Funina to appear again!
I must ask for Lady Funina's forgiveness, I must obtain Lady Funina's consent, I must keep this photo, I must keep it on tomorrow's front page!"
Looking at Charlotte's determined eyes, Clorinde couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
She couldn't stop him, so she could only nod slightly:
"Well, you're lucky today.
As far as I know, Lady Finina just went upstairs to change her clothes and should be down soon.
You wait here for a while, she should be here soon."
Charlotte was delighted:
"Thank you!"
In this way, the two of them stayed in the hall on the first floor of Mo Mang Palace, waiting quietly.
After a while, Funina, who had changed back into her daily Fontaine clothes, came down from upstairs and returned to the hall.
Seeing Fernina appear again, Charlotte ran over excitedly, followed closely by Clorinde.
And as soon as Charlotte went up, she said hurriedly:
"Lady Finina, I just accidentally took a picture of you!
Could I please keep this photo? Could I please publish it on the front page of our Steam Bird newspaper tomorrow?
Also, if it’s convenient for you, could you please accept an exclusive interview with me?!"
Clorinde, who came with her, couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand when she heard Charlotte's words.
Sure enough, taking advantage of others is also one of the professional qualities of these journalists.
He clearly just came here to ask for permission, but he also wanted to interview me. This is really...
Clorinde thought that with Lady Finina's temper, she would most likely not refuse.
Seeing that it was Charlotte who suddenly ran over, Funina was a little surprised:
"Oh? It's Charlotte.
What? Did you just take a picture of me?
I remember that this shouldn't be allowed? Were you caught by Clorinde?"
Charlotte nodded vigorously, still looking at Fernina pitifully.
As expected, Funina couldn't refuse someone's pleading and acting like a spoiled child. She smiled and said:
“Well, it’s not a big deal.
As the God of Water, I forgive your disrespectful behavior just now.
As for the snapshot you just took, I also grant you permission to keep it and publish it in the Steambird Newspaper."
Charlotte jumped for joy:
"Excellent! Long live Lady Finina!"
Then, she immediately calmed down again and carefully sought Funina's opinion:
"So...interview?"
