Eula went upstairs guided by the accompanying official. Other envoys from the Inazuma Delegation they encountered on the way, upon seeing Eula, respectfully bowed to her, which made Eula feel a bit overwhelmed.
After all, in Mondstadt, apart from those few who truly understood her, other Mondstadt citizens looked at her with hostility and prejudice.
But she hadn't expected to come to the Inazuma Delegation's residence and find these foreigners treating her with such courtesy; despite having such a powerful Regent, he showed no airs at all.
When the Lady led the Snezhnaya Delegation to Mondstadt, they acted as if they were looking down their noses at everyone; the entire Snezhnaya Delegation, from top to bottom, was incredibly arrogant. This situation didn't change even after the Lady left Mondstadt, with the remaining Snezhnaya envoys.
At the same time, Eula's confusion grew stronger. Treating her with courtesy was understandable, but what was with the strange, envious looks in their eyes?
Amidst Eula's bewilderment, she arrived at the most luxurious suite on the third floor of the Goth Grand Hotel, which was the Regent's private room.
The accompanying official turned to Eula and said, "Lady Eula, this is our Regent's room. Please make yourself at home from now on; I won't disturb you any further."
Eula asked in confusion, "Ah? Am I supposed to knock and go in myself? Shouldn't you introduce me first?"
The official smiled and said, "You jest. With your status, how could I have the qualifications to introduce you to the Regent? However, I must say one more thing: the Regent's wife is also staying in this room now. I wish you success in gaining the Regent's wife's approval."
After the official finished speaking, he quietly turned and retreated, leaving only a bewildered Eula.
What strange things was he saying? Why did I need to get the Regent's wife's approval? Approval for what? Was he speaking in riddles just now? Hmph! He didn't make things clear. I'll remember this grudge.
Eula turned and looked around the third floor of the Goth Grand Hotel. There wasn't even a single guard on the entire floor. From her professional perspective, Eula judged the Inazuma Delegation's security work to be utterly unqualified, leaving such a huge hidden danger.
But as soon as she thought of Miyashiro's terrifying strength last night, Eula instantly understood. This Regent, why would he need others to protect him? He was clearly protecting the entire Inazuma Delegation himself.
Eula stopped at the door of the room, hesitated for a moment, and finally, after taking a deep breath, mustered the courage to knock on the door.
Knock knock knock... Then Eula heard an angry roar from inside the room: "Who is it? Didn't I say not to disturb me this morning!"
Hearing the impatient voice, Eula said somewhat timidly, "It's me, Eula Lawrence, seeking an audience with the Regent."
As soon as Eula finished speaking, she heard a crashing sound from inside the room, as if someone had been kicked against a wall and let out a muffled groan, followed by a rustling sound.
Last night, after Miyashiro dealt with the third The Dragon Ursa, he returned to the Goth Grand Hotel. But he hadn't expected that as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw most of the Inazuma Delegation looking at him with strange, ambiguous, and self-preserving gazes.
Then, Miyashiro saw three people, led by Shenhe, with Kuki Shinobu and Ei as assistants, looking at him with ill-intent. Especially Shenhe, whose calm eyes were filled with a demand for an explanation.
At this point, Miyashiro understood everything. It must have been that suggestive remark Eula made earlier that led to the current situation.
Finally, after Miyashiro's persuasive words and actively 'paying his dues' to Shenhe in the latter half of the night, he managed to get Shenhe to temporarily move past the issue.
But as a result, Eula actually came to find him first thing the next morning. Now, it was truly BBQ-ed!
After Eula waited outside the door for about three to five minutes, the room door finally opened. Miyashiro, dressed in loose pajamas, appeared before Eula's eyes. However, Miyashiro's face at this moment was not good; it was so gloomy that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.
The first thing Miyashiro did when he saw Eula was to quickly say in a voice only he and Eula could hear, "You've come at a really bad time. Be careful what you say later."
Eula: "Hmm?"
Miyashiro then returned to his normal volume and said nonchalantly, "You're here? Please come in! I originally thought Acting Grand Master Jean would be the first to come and talk to me. I didn't expect it to be you, a mere Captain of the Reconnaissance Company, who took the first step. What a miscalculation."
Miyashiro turned around and sat directly on the sofa in the room, crossing his legs and casually pouring himself a pot of tea, completely treating it like his own home.
As for Eula, upon entering the room, she immediately felt an unusual gaze scrutinizing her. She saw Shenhe, wearing a similar style of pajamas, emerge from the bedroom. Eula, with her keen sense of smell, detected a strong scent of Miyashiro on Shenhe.
Although Eula, having grown up, was still an innocent maiden, as a member of the Lawrence Family, given their extravagant and corrupt ways, she might not have eaten pork, but she had certainly seen pigs run.
Eula suddenly realized that the angry roar Miyashiro made earlier, and the rustling sounds from the room, meant she might have interrupted Miyashiro's private time.
Thinking of this, Eula's delicate, fair face instantly became as tender and rosy as an Apple.
However, Eula's shy demeanor at this moment gave Shenhe a different perspective, as if a concubine kept by her man outside was meeting the main wife.
As the saying goes, one who has thunder in their chest but a calm face can be the main wife. Shenhe's current bearing increasingly resembled that of a Regent's wife.
Perhaps it was a quality unique to fellow Vision holders of the Cryo element, coupled with Shenhe already knowing Eula's situation in Mondstadt. Shenhe vaguely saw her own shadow in Eula, which made Shenhe's first impression of Eula not bad at all.
Thinking of this, Shenhe recalled her previous views on the matter and couldn't help but shoot a glare at Miyashiro.
However, Miyashiro didn't notice this at the moment; he was still fiddling with the tea set in his hands.
Miyashiro asked without raising his head, "Speak. Why are you here so early? The crisis in Mondstadt has passed, hasn't it? The remaining cleanup work surely won't be the responsibility of the Inazuma Delegation again."
Eula: "Mr. Miyashiro, that third The Dragon Ursa..."
Miyashiro: "Just three immortal-level dragons. They've been dealt with. I originally wanted to kill them directly, but then I thought, you Mondstadt has Stormterror Dvalin, Liyue has Azhdaha, Sumeru has Apep, but Inazuma doesn't have a single dragon, only a mischievous fox. So I might as well catch a dragon and bring it back to make a show of it."
