A few people's thoughts on a certain someone

The strongest lady in Mondstadt was left speechless by a certain someone. She just stared at the door thinking about the things just happened almost instantly.

The interaction between them wasn't or cannot be described as intimate but Jean is different from any other girl.

She loves romance novels. It's one of her favorite hobby but also the thing that she hid from everyone except for a certain witch. As that witch in person is the only one who could provide Jean with those research materials she wants.

It's not surprising for someone like Jean to be sensitive to such romantic stuff. She also has dreams of her own but due to her responsibility, she did not have time for those things.

Most of the citizen of Mondstadt sees her as a capable woman and no man could able to stand next to her.

However, the people close Jean said otherwise. Jean wasn't oblivious to the people close to her gossiped every now and then.

In the past she met a certain someone with red hair. If she was the strongest lady, then this person should be the strongest man within their peers.

And so rumors about her and him keeps circulating within her circle of friends. If not Jean's restraints, she would have open up her heart but her responsibility kept her from so.

Even so, the thought of getting close to that man was still within her mind. Until now she is still thinking about him. If not for a certain someone that appeared that disturbed her, she was sure she would be with that red haired man.

Because, Jean is not normal... She is an avid reader. An otaku for short. Just thinking about two men trying to win her over made her feel embarrassed.

Feeling her beating heart as she was in daze again. The image of those two peculiar men appeared in her mind. Slowly embracing her left and right. Her heart beats uncontrollably, her blood rushes to her head.

Just as she was about to get into the exciting part. A knock on the door snapped her out of her daze.

"Master Jean?"

"....A-Ah! Yes, What is it!" Jean quickly composed herself but her voice stuttered but she was fast enough to turn back to normal.

But the blush on her cheeks couldn't recede fast enough. With her swift hands she grab a bunch of papers to hide her face. At that moment, the door opened and Jean's subordinate came in.

Jean pretended to be busy while cursing in her mind.

...

Outside of Knight of Favonious Headquarters.

A pink long tail waggles left and right. A feline iris staring at the gate of the building. As if trying to search for its prey. If it weren't for her cute stature she would be labeled as suspicious person.

The passerby looked at her chuckled as they pass by. This little cutie is well known in Mondstadt, only a few people did not know her.

Earlier, Diona followed Ronan in Good Hunter with some friends, celebrating the fending off of Dvalin the Stormterror. But she was eyeing on a certain someone, of course it's Ronan who could it be.

With his strength, her dream would be fulfilled. He was strong! She thought.

'If I could make him become a my partner. The first step will be completed.' Diona thought and giggled after.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get close to him earlier as the party was very rowdy and Ronan was surrounded by people he is close with making Diona unable to get close to him.

This time she followed him in hopes to get close to him and make him her partner to achieve her dream. What dream it is, is not unknown or mystery as the whole Mondstadt knew about it.

Diona is well known for her dislike of alcohol. How ironic she works in a bar. However, it's her plan to work as a bartender in hopes of making people avert alcohol, unfortunately for her she was blessed by fairy.

All the drinks she created turned out to be delicious no matter what ingredients she put on. Diona doesn't know that fact as everyone knew about her hatred of alcohol. So the people who drinks her drinks did not tell how delicious her drinks were.

After all, it Diona found out about it. They wouldn't be able to drink such delicious wine or alcohol.

Her tail straightened up and her ears perked up. Her feline eyes stared at the person walking out the building. Her mouth formed a sweet smile.

'Here he is... But how should I approach him?... Hmm oh! I know!'

...

Unknown basement.

Eleanor tied in chains, there isn't any bruise on her body. After Ronan shamed her, he put on her dress on her again. He may have been cruel to her but he ain't cold-hearted bastard.

But, Eleanor did not mind it. Her mind is preoccupied with things. She did not hate Ronan, No, she could not hate him. It's as if something is forcibly making her not hate him.

She couldn't even think of getting her revenge. In the end her mind was dull. Ronan's face resurfaced in her mind.

Instead of feeling disgust, a incredibly sweet feeling surge within her. Eleanor was scared about her set of mind, she could not stop it. She could only let it flow in her mind.

'I'm going crazy...' She muttered under her breath as her eyes is slowly turning duller.

The effect of that potion is very potent, that's why it's forbidden and those who is caught using it will be severely punished. Even with such absolute Law, People still find ways to circulate such thing.

Even in this world, Malice still existed. After all, if there is light there is always darkness.

...

Yggip's Villa

Yggip the Piggy destroyed everything in his house. The servants helplessly watch as their youngmaster vented on his anger on those expensive things.

They couldn't help but curse under their breath. This spoiled brat is always causing ruckus.

"Aaaah!!! That bAstard!!! I'll kill ya!!! Eeeeeiiikk!"

Loud shrieking noise sounded from this obnoxious pig. The servants is watching him with dull eyes, not caring about him at all.

They knew that no matter how much this piggy curse, he cannot get his revenge. After all, for this past centuries after the fall down of their aristocracy, they have become a tool for the Mondstadt to make money.

Every move of them is eyed upon by the hidden council of Mondstadt. These servants are is not serving Yggip but taking an eye on him. Only a few servants belong to the Imunlaukr clan serving Yggip.

...

Unknown Place...

A youth standing upon a dark pedestal overseeing the chaos before him. With calm and composed expression, it's as if the chaos is normal occurrence.

"Someone defeated Stormterror." A shadown appeared behind a youth.

"..." The Youth was silent.

"The next phase will be started. Soon we will achieve our dream..." The shadow continued without caring if the Youth answered his previous words.

"Finally..." The Youth spoke but his voice container sadness, pain, hatred and vengeance.
