Chapter 204

~6 min read 1,124 words

"The emotions of the Elf race seem very pure; if they fall in love, they simply fall in love."

"Plus, with Young Lady Alice's personality, she cares even less about worldly opinions."

Aaaah!

Jean's heart felt a bit shattered.

She originally thought her most formidable rival was Eula.

She never expected a dangerous figure like Alice to suddenly intervene in the middle.

But Lisa's words do make sense.

Alice's personality is eccentric, and she acts as if she fears nothing in heaven or earth.

Sense?

If the Jean of the previous life was still worried about family issues, Alice has no so-called master-disciple bond to restrain her.

Moreover, besides the close friends of the Monu Society, the only person who knows she is Master Su Bai's disciple is the Grand Master of Mondstadt's peak, Grand Master Varka.

A figure of such stature would not casually reveal the relationship between the two.

"Sigh..."

Jean wrinkled her nose: "I feel so pitiful."

"You're not pitiful, you're stupid," Lisa said helplessly, shrugging her shoulders: "In the previous life, I was always helping you, but your own head never turned in that direction."

"As expected, the you of the previous life and the Su Bai of the previous life are truly one family."

"Emotionally dull."

【More than a year after the Irock incident.】

【After that incident "593", the Knights of Favonius were thoroughly shaken.】

【False honor is never what a knight should pursue.】

【Honor?】

【That is merely something obtained incidentally through daily efforts.】

【Pursuing honor is not the spirit a knight should have.】

【The Stormwind Knights continue to do what they ought to do, just as before.】

【The difference is that under Su Bai's leadership, many knights of the Knights of Favonius occasionally come to the Stormwind Knights to absorb experience.】

【Somewhere in Mondstadt.】

【This time, the Monu Society chose to hold their meeting at Starfell Cliff in Mondstadt.】

【It was just this Monu Society meeting.】

【Everyone's gaze was surprisingly fixed on Alice's slightly protruding belly.】

Venti: "Huh?"

Barbara: "Oh my god, Alice is pregnant?"

Alice: "Huh? Wait... how could it be me?"

Rhinedottir: "Your reaction is not right; you should say, 'Ah, how could it really be me?'"

Furina: "Oh my goodness, it really is Master?"

Albedo: "So the child of Mr. Su Bai from the previous life is..."

Klee: "Mom definitely gave birth to me, huh? Then who is my father..."

Lumine: "Klee, from now on you must change your address to me; you can no longer call me Honorary Knight Big Sister."

Klee: "Then what should I call you?"

Lumine: "Call me Honorary Knight Mom..."

Yae Miko: "Lumine, you really know how to bluff children; at most, you can call me Honorary Knight Auntie."

Alice: "Help, what on earth is going on?"

【"This..."】

【The group of close friends in the Monu Society stared at each other with wide eyes, looking at one another in silence.】

【Then, they exclaimed: "Alice, what exactly is the situation?"】

【"When did you get pregnant?"】

【"Hehehe, this..." Alice touched her face shyly.】

【"Wait, who is the father of the child?"】

【Rhinedottir was completely stunned.】

【During the last gathering, she hadn't heard Alice mention her emotional problems.】

【She only heard that her disciple would sacrifice her life for a member of the opposite sex, so she rushed back to Mondstadt.】

【Meeting again this time, she is actually pregnant?】

【"Ah... well..."】

【Alice's face turned red, and she smiled: "The father of the child is Su Bai Lawrence."】

【Huh?】

【Hearing the name Su Bai Lawrence.】

【The other witches immediately slammed the table and stood up.】

【"Alice, you actually ate your own disciple?"】

【"This... this..."】

【"I've heard of that disciple of hers; she is a prominent figure in Mondstadt," Barbara said, taking a light sip of tea.】

【"The first time she went to Mondstadt, she was driven away by people's exclusion; after not seeing her for over ten years, the second time she returned to Mondstadt, Grand Master Varka appointed her as the commander of an independent regiment."】

"Most of the heaviest missions in Mondstadt are completed by them."

"Shortly after the coming-of-age ceremony, they led the Knights of Favonius to slaughter the dragon Ursa, which frequently attacked Mondstadt."

"Incidentally, they beheaded the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."

"Don't talk about my husband like he's some drifter. What do you mean he was ostracized and ran away? We haven't seen each other in over ten years?" Alice immediately interrupted Barbeloth's conversation.

"I took care of him for five years; the remaining nearly seven years were overseen by Varka."

"He returned to Mondstadt at seventeen and became the Grand Master."

"That's not the point. The point is you two... this..." The crowd began to murmur among themselves.

"Is this appropriate?" Rhinedottir asked, unable to keep her mouth shut.

"Barbeloth immediately retorted, 'What is appropriate or not? My belly is already big; is there still room for appropriateness?'"

"But it is true. How did you two..."

Hearing this, Alice fell into reminiscence.

Then, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"This matter is actually Varka's fault."

"Back then, when Su Bai was arrested for killing Eros, I went to Varka to demand his release, only to be severely scolded by him."

"It was only then that I suddenly realized my so-called Master had done almost nothing for him except bully him."

"Yet Su Bai foolishly kept praising my kindness."

Alice recounted to the crowd the details of her time with Su Bai.

When Su Bai was seeking shelter from the rain, she blew up the shelter he had found.

When Su Bai wanted her to teach him skills, she tricked him into going to Dragonspine, nearly freezing him to death.

When Su Bai obtained his Vision, aside from teaching him how to use Pyro to create bombs, she ignored everything else.

Actually, it was later discovered that with Su Bai's talent, he could have learned it himself even without her teaching.

Wearing the title of Master, she did nothing, and during the five years she spent with Su Bai,

she encouraged him to start drinking alcohol from a young age.

At night, with nothing else to do, she used him as a pillow, pinching his face while she slept.

Later, seeing Su Bai blame himself for his companion's death, and combining it with Varka's earlier words, Alice felt guilty and heartbroken for her disciple.

When she finally began to take her so-called disciple seriously, she discovered that Su Bai seemed to be shining with light.

Especially when he spoke with Eula or other women, Alice always felt as though something she cherished was being snatched away.

"So..."

Upon hearing this, all the women wore expressions of sudden realization.

No need to think too much.
