Time passed quickly, and it had already been several days since they arrived in Mondstadt.
During these few days, Yu Xie and Ei hadn't had much to do.
Rosalyne had done a great job hiding, and although Yu Xie tried to find out information about her, he found nothing.
It wasn't surprising—only by being this meticulous in hiding could she avoid the gaze of the Fatui.
Although he hadn't found Rosalyne, Yu Xie was somewhat relieved.
Additionally, the feeling that "Rosalyne would eventually come to him on her own" grew stronger, though he wasn't sure when exactly she would appear.
One day, Yu Xie and Ei had planned to go for a walk in the outskirts, but just before they left, they received an invitation.
A Knights of Favonius arrived at their residence and knocked on the door.
Yu Xie went to open it and saw the knight. He was slightly confused.
"Is there something you need?" he asked.
"Good day, Mr. Yu Xie. Captain Jean has sent me to invite you to the Knights of Favonius," the knight replied.
So, Yu Xie and Ei made their way to the Knights of Favonius.
Outside the office door, Yu Xie hesitated for a moment.
He thought to himself that he had met Eula before, and probably had some connection with the other Knights as well. He might even know Jean and Lisa, perhaps even more than just being acquaintances.
Although there had been many reunions like this before, he still found it difficult to get used to it.
After all, for them, it was a reunion, but for him, it was the first time meeting them.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Yu Xie glanced at Ei beside him, then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in," a clear and pleasant female voice came from behind the door.
Yu Xie pushed open the door and walked in with Ei.
The office's decor was not extravagant; it was a simple, ordinary style with some noteworthy details, but most of the furnishings were no different from an average office.
A desk, a sofa, bookshelves... The acting Grand Master didn't seem to like anything too complicated; these were enough for work.
"Yu Xie..." The beautiful woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail stood up from behind the desk.
Jean Gunnhildr, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, became a Dandelion Knight at a young age. With her exceptional abilities, she gained the recognition of Grand Master Varka and the entire Knights of Favonius. After Grand Master Varka went on an expedition, she took over his duties as acting Grand Master.
In addition, standing in front of the bookshelf was an elegant lady wearing a blue witch's hat. Her gaze toward Yu Xie was rather complicated.
This elegant lady, named Lisa, is a close friend of Jean. She is a talented scholar who returned from studying at the Sumeru Academia. Gifted and exceptional, she now serves as the librarian of the Knights of Favonius. Although many people in the Knights think this is somewhat beneath her talents, she herself doesn't share that opinion.
"When Eula told me you were back, I couldn't believe it at first..." Lisa observed Yu Xie, her eyes filled with disbelief. "It seems there are still many things in this world that we can't fully understand..."
"Yu Xie, what exactly... is going on?" Jean couldn't help but ask as well.
"To be honest, I'm not really sure either. It's like a dream—when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything from it," Yu Xie said, after thinking for a moment.
"A dream, huh..." Lisa seemed intrigued, slowly walking up to Yu Xie. "If you don't mind, maybe we could find some time to talk about it in more detail. I'd like to study it, if that's okay?"
"Ahem... Lisa..." Jean coughed twice, clearly reminding Lisa to mind her manners.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away," Lisa smiled and stepped back from Yu Xie, returning to the bookshelf.
"If you want to figure out what's going on, Yu Xie, it would be a good idea to consult with Lisa. Although she can be a bit off sometimes, you can trust her, and you can trust us," Jean said, somewhat seriously.
"Mm, thank you," Yu Xie smiled and nodded.
"Ah, by the way, I don't believe I've met this young lady..." Jean then noticed Ei, who had come with Yu Xie, and quickly added.
"Just call me Ei," Ei smiled slightly.
"Miss Ei..." Jean looked at Ei and suddenly hesitated for a moment. "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, Miss Ei."
These words made Ei's heart skip a beat. She could only smile and say, "It must be that you made a mistake, Captain Jean. Or maybe you saw someone who looks very much like me."
"Someone as beautiful as Miss Ei certainly can't be just an ordinary face," Lisa spoke up at this moment. "Honestly, I also feel like I've seen Miss Ei somewhere."
Seeing this, Yu Xie could more or less guess what was going on.
As the Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, and with Lisa being so close to Jean, it was natural that they would have had the chance to meet leaders from other countries.
Even if she hadn't had direct contact with the person, it wouldn't be surprising if she had come across some reference materials or pictures.
Ei didn't want to expose her identity, so this topic couldn't continue.
"Uh… Captain Jean, where did Eula go today?" Yu Xie quickly changed the subject.
"Eula went out on a mission with the scout team today. She'll be back in the evening," Jean replied. "Ever since you left, Eula was really upset for a long time. I tried many ways to help her cheer up, but none of them worked well. Then, one day, she came to me and said she wanted to join the Knights of Favonius."
"Her abilities are outstanding, and she quickly passed the assessments to become a Knight of Favonius. Although Eula's joining the Knights caused quite a stir, I don't regret it. Eula deserves it."
"Since she became a Knight, it seems like she's started to move on from the past, but I can tell that she hasn't truly let go. Thankfully, now that you're back..."
Jean's words left Yu Xie momentarily silent.
He had already shouldered the waiting of many people, the passing of many people's time. In those forgotten pasts, there was him, there were them. He couldn't deny it, nor did he want to.
Now, all he could do was try his best to make things right, to repay each of those "debts."
