Genshin Impact: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable-Chapter 473: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [] [100 PS]

It had been over a year since she last saw him.

Occasionally, she had inquired with Mondstadt's Fatui envoys about his whereabouts, only to learn that he had gone to Fontaine to continue serving Her Majesty the Tsaritsa. Fontaine was far, far from Mondstadt, requiring months of travel by land for ordinary people.

However, knowing Luo Qing had established a residence in Mondstadt, she believed their paths would cross again someday.

She hadn't expected that their reunion would come so suddenly, in the wilderness no less.

"Well, well, long time no see, Miss Eula..." Luo Qing greeted her with a faint smile. "What a coincidence. Are you heading back to Mondstadt, too?"

"..."

Caught off guard by the unexpected meeting, Eula gripped her white iron greatsword tightly, unsure how to respond.

Memories from long ago flooded back. She vividly recalled that night when she had gone alone to Luo Qing's mansion, determined to retrieve her beloved sword.

But he had told her she'd need to wear a maid outfit and call him "Master" to get it back.

As a noble and a Knight of Favonius, there was no way she could accept such humiliation.

In her fury, she had abandoned her sword and stormed off.

The white iron greatsword she now wielded was sufficient for most battles, but it didn't compare to the Song of Broken Pines, which had once been like an extension of her own arm.

Over the past half-year, every time she used her current sword, her longing for her lost blade only deepened.

And now, here he was again—the man who had taken her sword.

"Luo Qing..."

After a long pause, Eula finally spoke. "Are you heading to Mondstadt as well?"

"Yes." Luo Qing nodded. Noticing that Eula seemed less haughty than before, he was a bit surprised.

Taking out the invitation letter from the Knights of Favonius, he added with a grin, "Look, this is an official invitation from your Acting Grand Master Jean."

"..."

Eula glanced at the letter in his hand and confirmed that it was indeed an invitation for the recent citizens' meeting Jean had organized to address the monster outbreaks. She couldn't find any reason to object.

After all, Luo Qing had purchased a large estate in Mondstadt, contributing more to the local GDP than the entire annual income of the Knights of Favonius.

Strangely enough, ever since Luo Qing's mansion was built, the number of monsters near Falcon Coast had plummeted. Even during the recent surge in monster activity, the area around his property remained unaffected.

In some ways, his household was practically a model of good citizenship.

"Well then..."

Finishing the last bite of his grilled fish, Luo Qing dusted off his hands and stood up.

"Since we're heading the same way, how about we travel together, Miss Eula? It'd be safer for a mere commoner like me."

"..."

Eula fell silent again.

If you're a 'mere commoner,' then what does that make the rest of us?

"Or... is Miss Eula unwilling?" Luo Qing asked with a faint hum, feigning disappointment. "I have a Mondstadt property deed, you know. I'm technically one of its citizens."

"..."

"Captain, we really shouldn't..." One of Eula's squad members tried to interject, clearly uneasy about letting Luo Qing join them.

But before he could finish, Eula nodded slightly. "Fine. You may accompany us."

"Oh?" Luo Qing raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. What's with this sudden change in her attitude? Where's the usual arrogance?

"Let's go. We need to reach Mondstadt before nightfall. It's not safe with all the monsters around."

Without waiting for his response, Eula turned and led her team forward.

Luo Qing stood there for a moment, watching her retreating figure. He couldn't figure out why she was acting so differently.

Unable to find an answer, he shrugged and followed behind the group.

The addition of a Fatui Harbinger to the group made the squad uneasy. The soldiers stayed tense throughout the journey, constantly on guard as if Luo Qing might attack them at any moment.

Eula, however, remained calm. She knew that as long as no one provoked him, Luo Qing wouldn't start trouble.

The journey was mostly quiet.

By the time they reached Mondstadt's gates, night had fallen. The streets and alleys of the city glowed with warm, yellow lantern light.

The squad, relieved to be home, bid Eula farewell and dispersed to their own homes. Luo Qing, too, planned to visit the Adventurers' Guild and ask Katheryne to arrange a room for him to rest.

But just as he was about to leave, Eula, who had been lingering nearby and stealing glances at him, suddenly spoke up.

"Luo Qing, do you have a moment?"

"Oh?" Luo Qing turned to her with a slight smile, having noticed her furtive looks along the way. "Miss Eula, do you need something from me?"

"Yes..." Eula nodded awkwardly, as though summoning all her courage.

"Alright then." Luo Qing shrugged, still smiling. "If Miss Eula has something to discuss, how could I refuse?"

Angel's Share – Second Floor

Inside a private room on the second floor, Luo Qing and Eula sat across from each other.

Luo Qing swirled the drink in his hand and teased, "So, what is it that Miss Eula wanted to talk about?"

"..."

Eula hesitated for a moment before standing up and bowing deeply to him.

"Luo Qing, I owe you an apology."

"Huh?" Luo Qing blinked, momentarily taken aback.

"I'm sorry, Luo Qing. I shouldn't have drawn my sword against you when you were injured, just because you're a Fatui Harbinger. Please forgive me..."

Over the past year, she had discussed her first encounter with Luo Qing with Jean, Lisa, and even Kaeya. They all agreed that she had been in the wrong for attacking him based solely on his affiliation.

After much self-reflection, Eula had come to the same conclusion. It was her mistake that had led to him taking her sword.

So, she resolved to apologize the next time they met, no matter how difficult it was for her pride as a noble and a Knight of Favonius.

For someone as proud as Eula, this was an act of extraordinary humility.

But she did it.

Huh. You really stuck it out all the way to the end.

Didn't think you had the patience. Guess I was wrong.
