As Mondstadt's little angel, Amber, after finishing her work, immediately wanted to cuddle with Eula... No, she should comfort Eula.
Last night's rebellion, though led by the Fatui, had the Lawrence Family, Eula's family, as the true masterminds. Eula's situation in Mondstadt was already not great, and now with this incident, her current predicament was unimaginable.
Furthermore, all members of the Lawrence Family have been apprehended and are about to face trial and judgment by the Knights of Favonius. For treason and causing such heavy losses to Mondstadt, an execution is unavoidable.
Although the Lawrence Family committed heinous crimes, to Eula, they were still her kin and compatriots, family with the same blood flowing through their veins. At this moment, she must be feeling very low and desperately needed comfort from her best friend.
However, when Amber skipped cheerfully to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, the first thing she noticed was her colleagues all pressed against the wall, as if eavesdropping on something.
And in the distance, some colleagues were frantically discussing something, their eyes gleaming with gossip, eagerly waiting for the eavesdropping colleagues to report the latest bombshell news.
Amber asked, confused, "What are you…?"
Before Amber could finish, the colleagues eavesdropping by the wall collectively made a shushing gesture, signaling her to be quiet and not make a sound. Then, a knight named Wood, who was acquainted with Amber, quickly pulled Amber to where they were gathered in the distance.
Amber: "What are you all doing?"
Wood: "Breaking news! Just now, Eula went to the Goth Grand Hotel, and when she came out, she was with the Inazuma Regent. And their relationship seems very close, they were talking and laughing. The Regent accompanied Eula to the Knights of Favonius headquarters and found a quiet room to have a secret discussion."
Amber frowned and said, "Is that all? There's nothing to make a fuss about, is there? Besides, eavesdropping on ladies' conversations goes against the Knights' code of conduct. I'll go stop them."
Wood: "Oh, oh, oh, Amber, you are still too young. Have you forgotten what Eula said in the sky last night? Eula must have something going on with the Regent, otherwise, his actions cannot be explained.
You know, even if Acting Grand Master Jean wanted the Regent to help, she would have to pay a huge price. But Eula, with just a single sentence, could get him to lend a hand. Their relationship is definitely not normal.
Moreover, Eula went to the Goth Grand Hotel early this morning, and when she came out, the Regent personally saw her off. Alas, it seems Eula has latched onto the Inazuma Regent. Perhaps she could become one of the Regent's wives. It seems the Lawrence Family's bloodline is not destined to be cut off after all."
When Amber heard this, her first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible. Eula, as the legitimate daughter of a noble family, with outstanding temperament and a good figure, such a proud person, how could she agree to be someone else's concubine?
But she did indeed hear what Eula said last night. At the time, she felt Eula's behavior was a bit strange, but due to the subsequent attack by the dragon and Mr. Miyashiro's display of divine power, she temporarily overlooked the matter.
This matter indeed made no sense. However, when did Eula get involved with Mr. Miyashiro?
Her second reaction was anger at her colleagues in the Knights of Favonius. It was understandable that they were prejudiced because of Eula's identity in the past, but now that Eula was involved with an important figure from Inazuma, they all started to show concern and even act sarcastically.
Amber: "You shouldn't talk nonsense, Eula isn't that kind of person!"
Everyone just smiled faintly at Amber's pale explanation. It was useless to talk more if they couldn't see eye to eye. Since Amber was unwilling to believe it, there was no point in saying anything more to her.
Just as Amber was about to stop them from continuing their discussion, Miles, one of the knights eavesdropping in the corner, ran frantically towards them all.
Miles: "Guess what I just heard! The Inazuma Regent was persuading Eula to go to Inazuma, and the most crucial thing is, Eula seemed to be considering it! It seems Eula becoming the Regent's wife is already a foregone conclusion!"
Wood: "Wow—see, I told you I was right, didn't I?"
Amber still looked incredulous and said, "How is that possible! How could Eula leave Mondstadt? This is her home."
Miles: "Home? All members of the Lawrence Family have been arrested and will soon face trial. It is said that the Knights of Favonius were prepared in advance because Eula, as an insider in the family, leaked information. After the Lawrence Family is tried, where will her home be in Mondstadt?
Tsk tsk tsk, how cold-hearted must one be to betray their entire family? Do you still dare to work with such a person? I certainly don't dare. I'm afraid I might be sold out by her at any time. If she treats her blood relatives like that, it's not surprising what she might do to colleagues with no blood ties."
Amber: "Shut up! You are not allowed to insult Eula. Between her family and Mondstadt, she chose the latter. Do you know how much determination it took for her to make that decision?
If she had chosen the former, if it weren't for Eula's prior warning and stepping forward, Mondstadt City might have been occupied by the Lawrence Family last night. If the Lawrence Family had regained control of Mondstadt, Eula's situation would definitely be much better than it is now. She could have gained a high status, and no one would dare to look down on her anymore.
Given such vastly different conditions, Eula still resolutely chose the latter. What right do you have to mock Eula!"
Miles, Wood, and the others exchanged glances, unable to refute her for a moment. However, as Amber's seniors, being rendered speechless by a young girl like her felt a bit embarrassing.
Miles crossed his arms and said with disdain, "Hmph! I heard all of this with my own ears, Amber. Aren't you and Eula unusually close? If you don't believe it, you can just ask Eula directly, and everything will be clear, won't it? Why are you arguing with me here?"
Amber: "Hmph! I'll go then!"
With that, Amber strode confidently towards the room where they were talking. The remaining knights still eavesdropping in the corner saw Amber approaching with such momentum and couldn't help but stop their eavesdropping.
Just as Amber was about to knock, the previously closed door suddenly opened from the inside. As Shenhe opened the door, she saw Amber, whom she had met several times before, standing outside. She paused for a moment, then glanced at the many knights gathered outside, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.
Shenhe turned her head and said in front of the many knights, "Eula, I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion. Inazuma, for you, might be a new beginning."
