In fact, she is completely stunned when Childe is found guilty by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, which went in direct opposition to Neuvillette’s verdict. Later on, Furina starts experiencing an intense amount of anxiety due to the impending prophecy in, which states that the sea will devour all Fontainians, and she will remain alone on her throne, weeping.

As seen in the events that take place in Chapter IV: Act V of the Archon Quests, Furina is not the actual Hydro Archon in, but a separate entity from Focalors altogether. Furina is a human vessel held in the seat of the Hydro Archon in order to trick the Heavenly Principles and does not possess any aspect of divinity. She was merely an actress.
