Returning to the story of the Spindrift Knight Chapter, Eula decided to show herself and demonstrate 'noble etiquette' to the Traveler.
Finding a passerby, Eula decided to use him as an example.
"Ahem, busy person, why not pause for a moment? Do you know that the noble Lawrence Family has personally arrived here with important news to impart?"
"Please kneel respectfully, um... and then what was it? Oh, right, accept the glory bestowed by the nobility with the utmost sincerity."
Norman: "What is he suddenly saying, out of nowhere?"
Eula wanted to continue the conversation, but Norman didn't; he absolutely didn't want any association with the Lawrence people.
Facing Norman, who showed extreme disgust, Paimon was a little confused.
"Just because of the Lawrence name, it can't be that bad..."
Eula: "It's fine, it's fine. I expected this situation. Let's go, we'll try someone else."
Finding the second person, Eula once again used her 'clumsy' noble etiquette.
"Ahem, weary person..."
The Mondstadter said nothing, frowning as he looked at Eula.
Seeing that the other person wasn't speaking, Eula was at a loss, recalling how noble etiquette dictated one should respond in such a situation.
It seemed to say that one shouldn't keep their gaze on the other person for too long, as that highlights one's status. Oh no, it seems I've been looking for a long time...
Because she never cared about these noble etiquettes, Eula seemed very 'clumsy' at this moment.
Leno: "Stop bothering me! Do I need to say something even worse?"
Sure enough, it was the same again; he also didn't want too much interaction with the Lawrence people.
Then, the third person.
"Diligent person..."
Eula's words were cut short by Randall; he knew Eula was about to say those awkward things again, and he couldn't even be bothered to listen.
All three had the same answer.
The Mondstadters who saw this passage originally thought they would feel pleased, but for some reason, they seemed to have adopted Eula's perspective.
This is the problem with the story's medium, as a novel has a main perspective.
The main perspective of this exchange was Eula, so they unconsciously put themselves in Eula's shoes.
They even thought: Eula didn't do it on purpose, she doesn't like those awkward etiquettes either, she just wants to help the Traveler investigate her uncle.
But such thoughts didn't last long and were quickly replaced by feelings of disgust: How could I feel bad for someone from Lawrence?
Then, they saw Eula's subsequent words.
"There's no other way. Those who make mistakes will all suffer this fate. It's only natural to be punished for mistakes, right? But what if one makes a grave mistake that cannot be repaid?"
"The city and the wind have memories. Debts that must be repaid will be passed down, generation after generation, and now they rest on my shoulders."
Eula never thought she was innocent, so she never hated the Mondstadters who disliked her.
As a descendant of Sinners, she did not feel that her elders' sins were unrelated to her.
The premise that sin does not extend to descendants should be that benefits do not extend to descendants. She had to admit that Lawrence was where she was raised, so these were things she rightfully had to bear.
She only wanted to change the Mondstadters' perception of Lawrence through her own efforts, and to sever the deep-seated hatred through hard work.
But this was clearly not something she could do alone, unless she could represent the entire Lawrence.
Venti took a sip of wine; he was the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, but he would not decide for Mondstadt who to forgive for their sins.
Whether to forgive Lawrence was decided by the Mondstadters, not by Barbatos.
Whether Lawrence could sever this animosity depended on Lawrence themselves.
As long as they stopped thinking about stepping on others, apologized for past mistakes, and got along well with people, the sin would naturally disappear over time.
It's just a pity that Lawrence still hasn't realized their mistakes; only Eula has realized them.
At this time, the Mondstadters had not changed their view of Lawrence, but some people had changed their view of Eula.
They disliked Lawrence, but no longer disliked Eula Lawrence.
Returning to the story, Eula took the Traveler to 'Good Hunter,' planning to treat the Traveler to a meal and prepare a gift for her uncle.
There, they also met Amber, and everyone ate together. Sara even gave them an extra side dish.
It was a rare warm moment for Eula.
After eating, Eula thoughtfully hid the Mora under the plate, because if they settled the bill openly, Sara definitely wouldn't count the complimentary side dish.
This further boosted the Mondstadters' goodwill. Even something given for free had to be paid for. Is this really Lawrence!?
"It would be wonderful if Eula could be accepted by the citizens because of this story."
Jean genuinely felt happy for Eula.
"Yes, and we should thank this young author as well," Lisa chuckled.
In the story, the Traveler used the 'etiquette' learned from Eula and a dish of 'Pickled Meat' to gain the trust of Schubert Lawrence.
Then, Schubert took the Traveler to meet the Fatui.
The Mondstadters were enraged; this Lawrence really did have connections with the Fatui!
Schubert: "Hmph, mere barbarians from afar. They have strength, but lack refinement, yet as trading partners, they are quite profitable."
The Fatui were furious. Who was he calling a barbarian? Who was he saying had strength but lacked refinement?
"Signora, it seems your performance in Mondstadt wasn't very good, leaving such a terrible impression," Tartaglia said, looking at Rosalyne.
"Shut your mouth! Simple-minded fool!" Rosalyne glared, "Tomorrow is the Rite of Descension, you should be thinking about how to break your stalemate!"
The other Harbingers looked at the two bickering Harbingers, each as silent as a cicada.
In the story, the Traveler followed Schubert and easily infiltrated the Fatui's secret base.
It turned out that what Schubert was trading with the Fatui was Mondstadt's city defense map—this was treason!
"How ridiculous," Rosalyne scoffed.
In the book, Paimon took off his mask and said heroically:
"Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt City! And his best companion, Paimon! We will shatter your evil plan!"
Ying covered her face: "You don't have to go so overboard..."
A perfectly good heroic entrance, and you just had to turn it into a humiliating display.
The Traveler quickly dealt with the obstructing Fatui and wanted to capture the escaping Schubert.
But when she caught up, she found that Eula had already captured Schubert.
Schubert to Eula: "You are a member of the Lawrence Family, you should help the family regain its glory!"
"Kill all the Knights of Favonius here and come with me!"
"You are not a Knights of Favonius, you are the last descendant of our family!"
"You are a noble with the blood of the Lawrence Family! You should follow the family's will!"
Eula was confused. From before until now, when have I ever followed the family's will?
Moreover, "If anyone should be angry, it should be me!"
"Have you considered how much trouble you've caused so many people? Have you considered how many people I'll have to make enemies with to quell this matter?"
"I haven't experienced the era of 'glory' you speak of, nor do I understand the family's fervent pursuit of it."
"But I am capable of judging right from wrong, and I deeply understand the meaning of freedom for the people of Mondstadt."
"Therefore, the Lawrence Family will not, and should not, become what you envision!"
Some Mondstadters who had changed their view of Eula further affirmed Eula after seeing this passage.
This girl, she is not just a Lawrence; she is the Spindrift Knight of the Knights of Favonius, Eula Lawrence.
