Chapter 87: Eula

Don't look at Kaeya as usually being sloppy, slacking off to drink from time to time.

When he really encountered serious business, he was still very reliable.

The Knights of Favonius immediately took control of every key point, and some of them chased in the direction of the fleeing Fatui.

But this was just for show; more people were guarding Schubert, who held the map of Mondstadt’s defenses.

Because even if they caught the Fatui, Mondstadt could not take the opportunity to demand too many conditions.

There were traitors in their own high-level ranks; although it had been much better in the last two years, it was not a stubborn disease that could be completely solved in a short time.

"This time we will definitely get a lot of rewards!"

Seeing that the situation was quickly brought under control, Paimon was very happy.

There would definitely be plenty of Mora; otherwise, wouldn't all their hard work and risking their lives to come here be in vain?

Thinking of the happy parts, Paimon couldn't help but drool.

The good things at the Good Hunter restaurant—she would order one of everything when the time came!

Lumine was not as optimistic as her. After handing over to Kaeya, she returned to the City of Mondstadt alone, preparing to explore the lost Statue of the Seven with Dainsleif.

Learning from Luo Li that she could find her brother’s tracks this time, the girl gathered her strength and made many preparations for it.

Afterward, she returned to Mondstadt and told Acting Grand Master Jean about the incident. The result was beyond Lumine’s expectations: the Knights of Favonius very generously gave her a large amount of Mora.

And they granted her the status of "Honorary Knight" of the Knights of Favonius.

This honor was rare in a hundred years; if she hadn't successfully helped deal with the dragon disaster and then shattered the Fatui’s conspiracy to collude with the Lawrence clan, she really wouldn't have been able to obtain such a title.

…………

On the other side!

Eula, who had been kept in the dark about this incident, was completely unaware of the ins and outs; she already had relatively little contact with her family.

Plus, living in Luo Li’s manor during this time, she had even less desire to go back.

Located in the courtyard of the manor, an elegant girl was dancing gracefully at this moment.

"Like this, the steps must be fast, but not too hurried. The turning figure must be graceful, without the slightest pause or tilt."

While bending and straightening her chest, Eula, taking elegant dance steps, taught the dance to Noelle, who was staring intently at her side.

"An excellent maid must know a thing or two about all aspects. As it happens, the traditions of the Lawrence family are not all dross; at least the 'Dance of Sacrifice' is pure and noble."

"Every time I dance it, it makes my state of mind peaceful. I haven't put it down for so many years; every dance step is carved into my body."

Closing her eyes, Eula didn't even need to look at her own movements; she was very confident in her dance posture and steps.

Her feeling was not wrong; at least the gaze Noelle cast was full of envy.

"So amazing! Can I also become like Miss Eula?"

"As long as you are willing to work hard, there will be no problem."

Like a noble white swan holding her head high, Eula turned in circles following the guidance of the wind, until the last finishing move was done, and Noelle, who had been watching in a daze, couldn't help but applaud.

Smiling slightly, Eula exhaled lightly, strode to the maid’s side, and pulled her hand to the center of the courtyard.

"Alright, let's start trying. First, just remember the dance steps and movements."

Holding Noelle, she taught her slowly, one movement at a time.

Staying in the manor these days, Eula and the maid had a pretty good relationship; not only would they have swordsmanship sparring, but in private, they would also have dance exchanges like this.

Of course, Noelle returned the favor and would also teach the other party techniques regarding cooking.

Watching the two girls move with graceful and pleasing actions, Luo Li, who was far outside the courtyard, nodded slightly.

He only needed to wait for news from Lumine’s side, and he wouldn't have to watch Eula like this.

"What a cute little girl."

Turning his head and finding that Raiden Makoto was also examining the two girls with an appreciative gaze, Luo Li teased: "So many girls in the house, aren't you jealous?"

"Whose? The little girls who revolve around you all day?"

"Otherwise?"

Raiden Makoto did not rush to deny or admit it, but turned her head to stare at him with smiling eyes.

For her experience, the current situation could not stir up ripples in her heart at all.

Back then, she had even been indifferent when they bathed together and she witnessed Kitsune Saigu and Luo Li leaning against each other so intimately, let alone this small situation now.

Even if Luo Li had intimate relationships with the little girls, Raiden Makoto would not mind.

Stretching the lifeline, compared to the long time after the Archons, the girls were just passersby in life, sooner or later to dissipate into the dust of memory.

It was not that she was heartless, but that time would take everything away.

Luo Li also understood this point, so he never hid topics related to desire in front of Makoto.

Gently leaning her head against his shoulder, memories welled up in Raiden Makoto’s eyes.

"Jealousy is not the word; it’s just that looking at them, I inexplicably remember the time when Saigu and Chiyo danced."

Wrapping his arms around the Raiden Shogun’s waist with a little force, Luo Li whispered in her ear: "How about finding an opportunity to return to Inazuma and secretly see them?"

Raiden Makoto was quite moved, but after hesitating again and again, she refused.

"I'm not ready yet."

"Why, afraid of being scolded by your sister for actually joining in to snatch a man?"

Facing Luo Li’s teasing, Raiden Makoto bit his lip in feigned anger. 430

"Alright, alright, my fault, I won't say it."

Only the indistinct plea for mercy made Makoto loosen her pearly teeth, and she gave a light huff to show her majesty.

"I'll let you be smug now. Even if you kneel and beg for mercy tonight, I will take revenge fiercely."

Luo Li pretended to be resentful and made vengeful remarks, drawing an eye-roll from Makoto.

This guy said so on his lips, but in reality, there was not an inch of her that didn't have his brand.

"I'll say this first: although I don't care what you do outside, at least be well-behaved in front of me."

Understood.

Luo Li understood Raiden Makoto’s subtext in seconds: don't go too far in front of her.

Actually, there was no need to remind him; he had his own sense of proportion.

In the end, getting mixed up with the current girls was more about the excitement of seeing characters from his impressions at the beginning, and it couldn't be called love at all.

It was just that as the contact time lengthened, that casual teasing was exchanged for different kinds of admiration or reverence.

Over time, Luo Li could be considered to have slowly accepted these immature and green hazy longings.

After the couple reached a consensus, the dance teaching in the courtyard came to an end at about the same time.

When the two girls returned to the hall, they didn't notice anything, and everything returned to normal.
