No one had ever imagined seeing a noble join the Knights of Favonius.
Not only were the people of Mondstadt stunned, but even the knights were somewhat taken aback.
Acting Grand Master Jean, however, merely smiled. "You're welcome to seek vengeance whenever you like."
"I have another request," Eula said.
"What is it?"
"I'd like a month's Mora in advance."
Jean paused at that, then frowned slightly.
It wasn't that she couldn't give Eula a month's Mora in advance. She had every right to do so.
The problem was that Eula was currently the target of public hostility, and admitting her to the Knights of Favonius was already a delicate matter.
If she gave Eula a month's Mora in advance before she had even joined, it would likely invite plenty of gossip.
After all, public opinion was a frightening thing. What if word spread that "the Knights of Favonius have close ties with the nobles and intend to help them regain their supremacy"?
All of Mondstadt could find itself in trouble.
There were still plenty of enemies beyond their borders. They already faced external threats.
If internal strife arose as well, things could become rather troublesome...
As Acting Grand Master, she had to consider the bigger picture. She trusted Eula, but she couldn't please everyone.
"Why?" she asked tentatively.
"My teacher is ill. I need to buy medicine."
Eula wasn't usually so straightforward, but she was clever.
She understood that this request might be difficult to accept, but beating around the bush would only put Jean in a difficult position.
So she simply explained the situation.
"I see. Let's talk inside, then."
Knowing it was for medical treatment put Jean at ease. Medicine was something the Knights of Favonius could certainly provide.
Eula then entered the Knights of Favonius headquarters
