"Charles, quickly take Mr. Kaeya to rest!"
Diluc frowned and ordered Charles, the bartender beside him, in a deep voice.
"Yes! Master Diluc!"
Charles quickly stepped forward, supporting Kaeya, who was acting foolishly, and headed towards the private rooms on the second floor. "This guest, allow me to introduce myself, I am the owner of this tavern, Diluc..."
After watching Kaeya and the other person go upstairs, Diluc nodded and introduced himself to Feng Yi.
"Hello, Master Diluc, my name is Feng Yi, I am a traveler. I'm new to Mondstadt and hope you'll take care of me in the future..."
Feng Yi said politely, looking at the cold, tall man in black with red hair before him.
Although they might become companions in the future, it didn't hinder their current pleasantries.
"Since you are a guest brought by Kaeya, all your future consumption at the tavern will be discounted by 20%. I have other urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"
Diluc was worried about Kaeya's condition and didn't chat with Feng Yi for long before excusing himself.
Although he was also interested in this guest brought by Kaeya, it paled in comparison to Kaeya's importance.
With the matter settled, Feng Yi also prepared to leave.
After today's drinking contest, he believed Kaeya would definitely not pester him for drinks anymore!
After all, that half-barrel of dandelion wine would be enough to overload Kaeya's liver for a long time!
As soon as Feng Yi left the tavern, Diluc quickly turned and headed towards the private room on the second floor.
"Master Diluc!"
Bartender Charles respectfully greeted Diluc as he entered.
"Charles, you go down and entertain the guests. I'll take care of Kaeya!"
Diluc looked at Kaeya, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and instructed Charles.
"Yes! Master Diluc!"
Charles placed the hot towel in his hand by the water basin and then closed the door and left.
At this moment, only Diluc and Kaeya were left in the room.
"Kaeya, when Mondstadt and Khaenri'ah stood against each other, you could only choose one side. I hope your final choice won't disappoint me..."
Diluc gazed at Kaeya on the bed, his fists, hanging by his sides, clenching and unclenching.
If that day truly came, and Kaeya genuinely chose to stand against Mondstadt, he... he would personally slay this "brother"!
"Dil... Diluc, don't investigate anymore. You're no match for them... I don't want to see... even you..."
Kaeya, in his deep sleep, seemed to be having a nightmare, sweating profusely on his forehead and muttering in his sleep.
Seeing this, Diluc quickly dipped water from the basin and used the wrung-out towel to wipe Kaeya's sweat.
He had heard Kaeya's incoherent muttering just now, but his father's death could not be in vain!
Diluc's eyes turned incredibly cold, only showing faint traces of gentleness when he looked at Kaeya.
This had the scent of philosophy...
As for Feng Yi, after leaving "Angel's Share," he headed towards the Knights of Favonius.
Passing by the marketplace, he spotted a familiar figure.
"Boss, how much for these fruits?"
Eula asked the stall owner, looking at the bananas on display.
"No selling, no selling! Get away, you Lawrence family person! Don't disturb my business!"
The fruit stall owner waved his hand in disgust, as if shooing away an annoying fly from the fruits.
This eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, he didn't know what means she used to become a captain of the Knights of Favonius.
But it didn't stop him from disliking her.
Although Acting Grand Master Jean had said that Miss Eula was different from other nobles, for commoners like him, the inherent flaws of nobles were hard to forget.
It was like there might be treasure in a trash can, but he found it dirty and didn't want to rummage through it.
Choosing to ignore was the most hassle-free option.
As a fruit stall owner, choosing not to sell was the simplest solution.
"I'll remember this humiliation!"
Eula had mentally prepared herself for the boss's unceremonious refusal.
Although Eula said this aloud, she didn't really care in her heart. She merely felt that there was still a long way to go to erase the prejudice of Mondstadt's citizens against her!
Reluctantly, Eula tore her gaze away from the bananas and walked towards another fruit stall.
As expected, Eula was once again driven away.
'As expected, people like Feng Yi and Amber, who disregard their noble status, are truly rare!'
Eula sighed slightly in her heart and walked towards the outskirts of the city.
Arriving by the lake, Eula sat quietly on a stone bench, gazing at the sparkling lake surface, her inner gloom gradually dissipating.
Only here could Eula truly relax.
The monsters outside the city had been appearing with unusual frequency recently. Eula had wanted to eat some sweet fruits before setting out tomorrow, but reality left her somewhat helpless...
"The prejudice of Mondstadt's citizens towards nobles is like three feet of ice, not formed in a single day. Of course, melting this prejudice is not an easy task... However, I will take you and prove myself to the citizens of Mondstadt with the heads of monsters!"
Eula patted the greatsword beside her on the stone bench and smiled slightly, giving herself a pep talk.
"The scenery today is so beautiful!"
Eula stretched her arms and softly murmured, looking at the picturesque landscape.
Feng Yi: Indeed, the scenery is truly beautiful!
Feng Yi's gaze fell upon Eula's captivating waist, and he gasped, "Ah Wei is dead!"
That slender waist, so easy to hold...
That light and breathable battle dress perfectly accentuated her curves...
And that alluring peach-like behind...
Who could resist this?!
Ah Wei's death was not in vain!
"Who?!"
Sensing a prying gaze upon her, Eula quickly spun around, sword drawn, pointing towards the source of the gaze.
"Eula, it's me, don't shoot... ah no, don't attack!"
Eula had been stretching her body's curves a moment ago, and the next moment she suddenly drew her sword. Feng Yi almost didn't react in time.
"Feng Yi? Why are you here?"
Seeing that the person approaching was not an enemy, Eula lowered her weapon and looked at Feng Yi with confusion.
"I had nothing to do today, so I went out for a walk. Destiny seemed to tell me that a destined person was waiting for me in this direction, and I think I know who this destined person is!"
Feng Yi would never tell Eula that he saw her being heartlessly rejected by all the fruit stall owners, felt pity for her, and therefore came with a basket full of bananas to comfort her!
Feng Yi, with his hearing far superior to that of ordinary people, accidentally overheard Eula's words of encouragement as he arrived. He was deeply moved by the girl's resilient spirit.
"When I came out of the city, I happened to catch a fruit stall promotion. The prices were so attractive that I accidentally bought too many. I definitely can't eat so many bananas by myself. It would be such a waste if they spoiled. Eula, please help me out, okay?"
In truth, these bananas weren't even enough to fill a gap in his teeth, but to preserve Eula's dignity, Feng Yi had to say this.
