Chapter 675 Eula: Amber, I'm tired
Seeing that Shao Yun told her not to care about him, Youla quickly shifted her attention to Amber in front of her.
Facing Amber, Eula suddenly felt a little nervous. After all, she left Mond in a hurry, and she didn't know what to say to Amber.
After hesitating for a moment, Eula broke the silence first. She gently pulled out the hand held by Amber and said with a little embarrassment: "Amber, I'll make you some tea."
However, Amber did not intend to let Eula get away so easily.
She quickly grabbed Eula's wrist and blocked her way.
In order to prevent Eula from continuing to avoid her, Amber decided to speak directly to the point about what was on her mind.
"Eula, you know that Captain Qin didn't approve your resignation application at all." Amber said, "So, you can still return to the Knights."
When Eula heard the words "return to the Knights Temperance", her breathing suddenly became rapid.
Every detail of her time in the Knights Templar flashed through her mind, making her feel even more complicated.
But she quickly came to her senses and quickly changed the subject: "Amber, how many days do you plan to stay in Fontaine?"
Amber was obviously disappointed with Eula's reaction. She said weakly, "Don't answer irrelevant questions! You can still go back to the Knights! Everyone in the Knights will help you find a solution!"
However, Eula acted as if she didn't hear it. She turned her head away deliberately and continued to hide her true thoughts.
"If Amber wants to stay in Fontaine for a while, you can stay at my house!"
Amber was so anxious that her voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"Eula Lawrence!"
Eula also became angry for a moment, and suddenly pulled her hand back, shouting: "Enough, Amber! Don't mention this last name again!"
When Shao Yun saw this, he knew that the situation was not good.
He stood up, grabbed the two's arms, and pulled them out of the vortex of quarrel.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Shao Yun said, "Ying is right. It's absolutely right for me to do this. Come here, sit on the sofa, and talk calmly!"
Although Amber and Eula were somewhat reluctant, they were still half-heartedly pulled to the sofa under Shao Yun's tough attitude.
Eula sat down on the sofa, took a deep breath, and then slowly said to Amber: "Amber... I really don't want to go back to Mondstadt and make any unnecessary efforts for things that have already been concluded."
Amber, who was sitting next to her, was still unwilling to give up even though Eula had said it was absolute.
"Eula, you...really aren't going back?" Amber unconsciously held Eula's hand, hoping to persuade her.
Eula shook her head expressionlessly and replied in a cold tone, "I'm not going back."
Amber's hands tightened slightly, and she said unwillingly: "You are so cruel, watching the Lawrence family..."
"Becoming a complete stigma in Mondstadt? Captain Jean hasn't given up yet, so why did you give up? This is not the same person you used to be? If Grand Captain Falga knew... he would definitely help you when he comes back!"
The main thing is that although the citizens of Mond are disgusted with Eula, the last descendant of Lawrence, the Knights Templar have been trying to find a way to solve the mess left by her relatives.
Although there is no effect now, if Eula leaves, there will be no way to fulfill Eula's wish.
Eula pulled her hand out of Amber's hand again and said painfully.
"Amber, I've changed. I've become a different person, Amber. I don't want to waste my time and energy on a family that has already walked into the grave. I have to think about myself. I'm tired!"
The words "I'm tired" made Amber completely give up persuading her.
She could tell that Eula's heart was dead, so it was useless for her to say anything.
Besides, what Eula said was right, everything was settled that night.
Although she had anticipated this on the way here, she still found it hard to accept the result.
"Yura..."
Eula began to express to Amber the thoughts that she had kept in her heart for a long time.
"Although I joined the Knights to restore my family's reputation... but since I gave up on restoring my family's reputation, I feel like I'm living a happy life. I finally have the opportunity to go out and walk around."
"You know, Amber, after leaving Mondstadt, I found peace. I was in Liyue, and I watched the Liyue drama. The little girl named Yunjin performed very well."
"In Xumi, I watched a dance performance at the Zubair Theater. The girl named Nilu danced beautifully."
"Can you imagine being in the desert of Xumi? The endless yellow sand is so spectacular."
"In Fontaine, after I became a police officer, I was loved by many people. People respected me very much, unlike when I was in Mondstadt, where the citizens of Mondstadt rolled their eyes and talked behind my back about why the descendant of a sinner like me was not killed by Shao Yun!"
After listening to Eula's story, Amber lowered her head and asked a question.
"Eula, is this all you wanted? I thought you were still the same... the same 'Eula'."
Eula let out a long sigh, looked at Amber firmly, and said, "Amber, I tried, but I lost. No one cares about the good of the Lawrence family. They will only remember the old nobles with wolfish ambitions."
"Now in Fontaine, I feel the freedom! I am very happy. I can walk on the street without worrying about other people's eyes after get off work."
"When I have a day off, I can go to the Oprykle Opera House to watch a play, or I can go on a picnic in the wild. Most importantly, no one knows about my past! I can have a new start and live the life of a normal girl!"
Amber knew that she couldn't persuade Eula to come back, so she could only offer her blessings.
"Okay, Eula, I respect your choice. Remember to write to me next time!"
Seeing that Amber was finally convinced by her, Eula breathed a sigh of relief.
"Amber, thank you for understanding me..."
……
At this moment, Shao Yun noticed the silence between the two women and interrupted, "Have you finished talking?"
Eula and Amber answered almost at the same time: "We're done talking."
Seeing that the two girls had ended their conversation, Shao Yun kindly said to Youla, "Well, I have something I want to remind you, Youla."
When Youla heard Shao Yun say that he had something important to tell her, her heart tightened and she asked nervously, "What is it?"
Shao Yun briefly recalled what happened this morning and remembered what he had learned from Navia about the whereabouts of the "anonymous donor".
"Navia has already found out about the money you donated to her. Why did you leave the name 'Lawrence'?"
When Youla heard the news from Shao Yun, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.
"What? It's over. If I had known I wouldn't leave my name no matter what I said. I'll just stay anonymous and live in loneliness..."
Shao Yun repeated it again, and said calmly: "After the Baisong Dam is built, Navia should send people to Mondstadt to learn about the kind Mondstadt nobleman called 'Lawrence', and this person is you."
"It's just that Navia hasn't suspected you yet."
Hearing this, Eula's face instantly became nervous.
"We must not let her go to Mondstadt! I don't want anyone to know my past! Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to flee to Nata!"
Seeing that Eula was so panicked and had no idea what to do, Shao Yun kindly suggested: "However, there is good news now, that is, Navia currently does not know that your last name is 'Lawrence'."
"So, instead of just sitting there and waiting for her to figure out your true identity, why don't we take the initiative? Maybe we can still take control."
Eula was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed the last straw and asked anxiously, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly!"
Shao Yun smiled slightly and replied: "Four words, take the initiative to attack."
Youla repeated Shao Yun's words in confusion, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Take the initiative? What does this mean?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun patiently analyzed the current situation for Eula: "You see, Navia is currently busy with the renovation of Baisong Town and Baisong Dam. She is already too busy to take care of other things, let alone go to Mondstadt to investigate you."
"Now, before she takes any action, you need to reveal your identity. This way, you will have the initiative."
After listening to Shao Yun's analysis, Youla still had doubts in her heart.
"I kind of understand what you mean, but how should I admit this? I mean, I don't want to become too conspicuous and attract unnecessary attention..."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun confidently assured Youla, "Don't worry, I have a way to help you deal with this matter. The key is to ensure that Navia does not send anyone to Mondstadt."
Then, Shao Yun began to briefly explain his plan.
"My plan is this: I will use some means to find out that it was you who donated the money to the Thorn Rose Society, and then I will reveal this news to Navia. In this way, Navia will definitely come to you on her own initiative."
"When Navia finds you, you need to act very shocked and firmly deny it. Afterwards, Navia will definitely mention me as evidence to support her statement."
"After learning that it was me who told Navia, you should act very angry. Eventually, you need to admit it half-heartedly."
"If Navia further asks you why you donated such a large sum of money to yourself, you only need to simply answer that this is just a way of thanking me for helping me in the past."
"As for the rest, you don't have to tell me. Just let me handle it when the time comes!"
After listening to Shao Yun's detailed explanation of his plan, although Youla was still a little confused, fortunately this plan would prevent Navia from sending anyone to Mond.
"Okay, I understand... Although this plan sounds a bit risky, I'm willing to try it."
After seeing Youla's reaction, Shao Yun added some details.
"Of course, for the part of the work you are responsible for, you can adapt to the actual situation and don't have to do it exactly as I say."
After listening to Shao Yun's advice, Youla said to him sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Shao Yun."
Then, Eula clapped her hands and suggested, "By the way, Amber, you probably haven't eaten since you came to Fontaine. I'll go to the kitchen and make something delicious for you to try!"
Looking at Eula busy in the kitchen, Amber now has the opportunity to talk to Shao Yun alone.
She turned to look at Shao Yun, her mood was a bit complicated, and she said softly: "Shao Yun, I don't know how to evaluate how the situation has developed to this point... But, I sincerely thank you for taking care of and helping Eula..."
After hearing what Amber said, Shao Yun shook his head gently. He stood up from the sofa and replied calmly, "Don't thank me... If there is nothing else, I will leave first..."
"Before the construction of Baisong Town is completed, I need to come up with a reasonable story to stop Navia from sending people to Mondstadt to investigate Eula's life experience."
