Mondsadt:
Eula Lawrence, as the Captain of Captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company and as a scion of disgraced Lawrence Clan is an enigma to the people of Mondstadt and to Knights themselves. She is equal parts tainted blood and superior swordsmanship. Some say she was assigned as recon captain mainly to keep her away from Knights Headquarters. And that is more or less the truth. Despite being one of the two best swordsman in Mondstadt, her contributions were often overlooked, her failures were magnified. Her work life became better and impartial following the purge and when Grandmaster Varka recognized her swordsmanship as on of the best and declared that she was Dandelion knight's equal on battlefield. Even so she was named captain of recon unit so that she is rarely present in City,for people's hatred runs deep and old wounds often reopen when she approaches the citizens. She is also actually glad that she can be far from Mondstadt and yet protect it from its enemies.
Today's that rare occasion as she reported to HQ for her monthly assessment. In the leisure that followed, she longed for Mondstadt's Dandelion Wine. She quickly made way for Angel's Share, the most renowned tavern of Mondstadt and best wine in all of Teyvat. She ignored the glares and disgust sent towards her from most of the citizens while muttering her verbal tic, 'Vengeance Will be Mine' to herself. Dandelion wine is not the only thing that attracts her to the tavern, a certain stoic and uncaring gentleman plays a major role too. Diluc Ragnvindar, Ex-captain of Knights of Favonius, and owner of Dawn winery, the biggest winery in all Mondstadt. He occasionally works as bartender occasionally in his tavern. To her good fortune, he is on duty today. She thanked Barbatos and then stopped herself remembering the bard Venti who he came to know is Barbatos himself. He is probably passed out on a street or stealing some wine from someone. She met him while traveling with her friend, The traveler. She was shocked as any out to be, when she found that her archon is a broke and drunkard bard. For some reason this seems like what a god freedom ought to do.He seems to be watching over Mondsadt in his own way. The traveler though is on of the few people she could call a friend. He is smart too despite looking like a kid. It seems he is far older than herself if his story is to be believed.It seems the bard and travler teamed up with Jean to solve the Dvalin's problem. He also became a Honorary Knight Of Favonious.She had reached the tavern lost in her thoughts before she remembered that she promised to hang out with Amber. Amber is one of the few friends she had made overtime. She is a bunny in a human form, always full of energy and hopping around or gliding. Well she'll make up to her on a later time. A good meal from the Good hunter's will do the part. She dismissed her thoughts and focused on the man before her. Diluc, he was touted as the prodigy, the likes of which Mondstast hasn't seen for many years. He was the youngest ever Cavalry Captain and Vision bearer. She did not know why but he resigned his post after the death of his father. She heard rumors though, allegedly the corrupt officials before the purge had caused him to lose his faith in the knights. That was the last any had ever heard of him for the next four years. He came back and continued his wine empire soon after. He brought with him new drinks especially for people who don't drink alcohol due to age or some other reason. Apple Cider became as famous as the Dandelion Wine often times surpassing latter's sales.
Due to his accomplishments and his wealth, he is the most eligible bachelor in all of Mondstadt. She admired him during her time as knight when he was cavalry captain. After his return though she developed a crush on him. A few times a proposal for his hand was sent on her behalf from her family. It was rejected most probably due to the conditions and the tone of proposal than due to her or her family name. She liked him because he treated her as he treated any of her station. There was no disgust or disdain in his eyes. Appreciation though she found, one of the few that look at her as such. Her family has all but disowned her due to her involvement in Knights of Favonius. She quickly ordered for a few servings of Dandelion wine. When she is drunk enough, he leaned on to listen for any information from her drunken ramblings. She let out a laugh internally, she had since known his secret identity of Dark knight hero. Funnily enough he is disgusted when someone mentions that not due to disdain for the hero himself but to the name. It was four months ago probably she thought, as she remembered that day, she had been scouting out a camp of hilichurls when he made his move. She watched from the foliage, as he lay waste to the camp in one of the most destructive slaughter she ever saw. The claymore enhanced by the pyro elemental power cut through hilichurls and finished the matrichurl in few swings. His Eagle though, dealt the critical blow. His style is lacking on defense, she noted. The claymore and the pyro vision gave him away as there are none other than him that matches the combo in Mondstadt. She felt like she found a compatriot as he too did not seek recognition for his supposed good deeds. Though it's by choice he does so, while she had control of her choice.
She called on him for eavesdropping on her conversations and she ordered an Apple cider to sober up. He looked mildly surprised, for the stoic face returned soon though there was a twitch at the corner of his mouth. She let out an amused laugh as she bid him to follow her to the second floor where the conversations are a bit more secure from wandering ears. He made himself comfortable while waiting for her to take a seat. " Who else knows?" he asked.
"I told no one."She replied. "Though it is easy to guess.The pyro and claymore combo gave it up." He looked annoyed for a moment as he was disappointed. " If I have to guess Traveler knows."He made no reaction for that. There was a dull silence for sometime until She broke her silence. " There are some missing ruin guards in some places.They are non-functional but their disappearance is suspicious." He nodded and hesitated for a moment but then said" Fatui was spotted with Schubert,your uncle." Eula glared at his implication."You have some nerve defaming my uncle right in front of me . You will pay for this!" "I did not implicate anything outright Spindrift Knight. Sources that I trust gave me the information, all it needs is verification.We can follow him I heard he scheduled a trip to Wolvendom to meet with certain 'friends'. Eula stood up from her seat glaring at him while uttering" If he is proven innocent then I shall have my vengeance!" Diluc chuckled" Sure. Is my number on the 1000's or 10,000's?. Perhaps our traveler may find his twin before you act upon it" Eula's anger deflated and a blush crept upon her cheeks." no one called upon her bluff before. People are generally scared after that or took the threat for what it was. Diluc found it kind of cute watching her cool self lose personality like that. Should his brother witness this, Eula will never set foot in the city again. His brother's mention drew his thoughts away from that." We need to go back lest people get suspicious."He said walking away from there. Eula followed while mentally upping his number to the 100's.
