Miyashiro's simple, straightforward confession left Acting Grand Master Jean and Eula utterly bewildered.
Jean's face was full of confusion. This... this isn't right? This is completely different from the plot developments in the romance novels I secretly read. How can it be so direct? Are all the romance novels I read fake?
Indeed, Jean had been fond of romance novels since childhood. Even after being awarded the legendary title of Dandelion Knight and becoming the Acting Grand Master, this habit remained unchanged.
It wasn't because she felt her maiden years were wasted in training and duties, nor was it because of a rift in her parents' marriage.
Jean simply yearned for the mutual affection depicted in those romance novels, yearning for emotions as delicate and fragile as spider silk.
But now, what Miyashiro displayed was not spider silk at all; it was clearly steel wire!
If Miyashiro's actions were written into a romance novel, it would probably be finished on a single page, without all the twists and turns and dramatic ups and downs.
Meanwhile, Eula, sitting nearby, instantly became like an ant on a hot pan after hearing Miyashiro's reply. She fidgeted with her delicate body, and a vibrant blush had already spread across her exquisite face, making her look incredibly alluring and tempting one to take a bite out of her cheek.
Jean looked at Eula's reaction and made a judgment in her heart.
Jean said solemnly, "Regent, I must remind you that your wife is currently in Mondstadt. Your actions seem to be somewhat unfair to your wife."
Miyashiro said indifferently, "Acting Grand Master Jean, actually, my situation is very similar to Eula's. She is desperately trying to clear the Lawrence Family's name and restore its former glory.
I have a similar goal. As the only legitimate bloodline of the Uchiha Clan currently, my goal is to revitalize the Uchiha Clan, and the primary objective for revitalizing the clan is to have a flourishing population. Otherwise, how can we talk about revitalization?
Shenhe, as my legal wife, naturally understands this principle. Therefore, she is very open-minded about this matter, and I will never let her efforts be in vain. My descendants with Shenhe will be the undisputed main lineage."
Upon hearing Miyashiro's answer, Eula suddenly remembered why Shenhe, as the Regent's wife, had subtly probed her opinion of Miyashiro. So she was sizing up her future sisters!
After hearing these words, Acting Grand Master Jean's attitude towards romance novels seemed to have changed slightly. She had always believed that love between humans should be like in romance novels, but Miyashiro's performance was simply an eyesore for Jean, making her experience the gap between reality and ideals.
In fact, looking across The Seven Nations of Teyvat, no country explicitly stipulates monogamy. For Jean and Eula, two noblewomen from prestigious families, it is very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Such things are already commonplace among their own family members.
Not to mention an Inazuma Regent like Miyashiro, who is powerful, influential, and young and handsome. If he were willing, the line of women who want to be his could probably stretch from the Mondstadt City Gate to the Mondstadt Cathedral.
The fact that Miyashiro only has Shenhe as his woman so far, on the contrary, indirectly shows that he is a person who keeps himself clean and values quality over quantity in relationships.
In Eula's eyes, this became a hidden bonus point.
However, Jean also suddenly remembered something: Barbatos once said that Miyashiro has an inheritable bloodline power flowing within him. Is this what he meant?
If so, then Eula is the best candidate to try it out.
No! If that's the case, then Eula absolutely cannot leave the Knights of Favonius. Otherwise, even if Miyashiro and Eula have descendants later, it would have nothing to do with Mondstadt City.
A way must be found to use Eula as a link to bring Inazuma and Mondstadt closer.
Jean looked at Eula at this moment and asked, "Eula, what is your attitude towards the Regent?"
Eula fidgeted, blushing, and said, "Actually... the Regent and I... felt a connection from the first time we met..."
Jean: "The first time you met? Was it on the Mondstadt Bridge?"
Eula: "No, it was... it was on Dragonspine..."
Jean looked confused by Eula's answer, but Miyashiro, prompted by Eula, recalled the breathtaking scenery he had witnessed that day, and it resurfaced in his mind, making his heart beat a little faster.
It seems... I'll have a chance to see Eula dance again!
Upon hearing Eula's reply, Acting Grand Master Jean pondered the resignation letter in her hand repeatedly. Finally, to Miyashiro and Eula's surprise, she tore the resignation letter into pieces on the spot.
Miyashiro's face immediately darkened when he saw Acting Grand Master Jean's action, and he asked, "Acting Grand Master Jean, what do you mean by this?"
Jean felt the air in her office seemingly stagnate, giving her a suffocating illusion. But Jean was indeed the Acting Grand Master, someone who could be swayed by kindness but not by force. Faced with Miyashiro's relentless pressure, Jean did not back down.
Jean: "I'm sorry, Eula, for someone as excellent as you, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, I truly don't want to see you leave. I don't want to see a repeat of what happened with Diluc back then.
However, I should also consider your feelings. For you to remain in Mondstadt City now would be nothing short of torture. Therefore, I want to offer you a new position - Diplomatic Ambassador of Mondstadt to Inazuma!"
No sooner had Acting Grand Master Jean finished speaking than Eula looked at Miyashiro with a shocked expression. Miyashiro had actually guessed it correctly. Could this man really predict Acting Grand Master Jean's moves?
Although Miyashiro had mentioned this to her before, Eula hadn't taken it seriously at all. After all, promoting a Captain of the Reconnaissance Company three ranks overnight to become a Diplomatic Ambassador, even for Acting Grand Master Jean, was not an easy task.
After all, Mondstadt's political system dictated that Acting Grand Master Jean couldn't rule by fiat like Miyashiro. To get others to agree to Eula's new position, she would have to expend corresponding political resources.
Miyashiro, who was standing by, couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.
Miyashiro: "As expected of Acting Grand Master Jean, truly full of courage."
Acting Grand Master Jean was somewhat surprised by Miyashiro and Eula's unexpected reaction. She suddenly felt as if she had fallen into someone else's trap, which made her very displeased. However, this plan was the best three-birds-with-one-stone solution she could think of after careful consideration.
It would allow Eula to temporarily leave Mondstadt City, maintain her connection with Mondstadt, and most importantly, the problem that had troubled her for a long time could also be resolved at this opportunity.
