[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

When the wind elf came back, Cecilia was already getting a little sleepy from waiting.

Hearing the sound of the window being pushed open, she yawned, rubbed her eyes and called out, "Thank you for your hard work. Did they say anything?"

The wind elf first circled around her happily for a few times, and then took out a piece of paper from somewhere that the boy had prepared in advance considering that Cecilia couldn't understand him.

Cecilia walked to the table, sat down, and unfolded the note.

The above content is very simple. It is the method that the few people had discussed in the cave before to help Cecilia escape.

Although Cecilia asked the wind elves to tell them that she was safe for the time being, no one could be truly at ease as long as she was in Vanilarare's hands.

Although the plan of escaping from the album cannot continue, the response to the album has almost reached saturation, so there is no need to sacrifice Cecilia for this.

Cecilia felt warm at heart when she read the boy's note in which he declared that they would never give up any of their companions.

The Lawrence family has a deep-rooted class concept. Even before the kidnapping, when Cecilia could enter and leave the Lawrence mansion freely, once Master Lawrence found out that she had contact with civilians, he would stop her sternly and would ask Madame Desailins to punish her in other ways afterwards.

But the nobles of the same age were almost all boys, and few of them who followed Buck were willing to interact with her.

So, Cecilia never had a friend, and the boys were her first.

Family trial... She suddenly wanted to pray that this was real and not an illusion.

As if sensing Cecilia's emotions, the wind elf crawled into her arms and rubbed her cheek.

"Of course, you are also my good friend." Cecilia nodded his head with a smile.

The wind elf tilted his head and looked at her, not understanding why she suddenly said this, but the fact that Cecilia personally acknowledged that she was a good friend was enough to make him happy.

The days that followed were peaceful. Just as Vanila Rui had said, she had no intention of mistreating Cecilia in life. Three meals a day were delivered on time, which made Cecilia feel a little guilty for letting the wind elf fly out every night to observe the defense situation of Lawrence's family.

According to the boy's arrangement, after finding out the loopholes in Lawrence's defense, Gunhild and Leggenfind will be responsible for attracting the attention of Vanilara and her men, while the boy will sneak over to help her open the door and take her away.

Thinking of this, Cecilia raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Vanilare who was sitting opposite her and having dinner.

The plan was set for tonight, but before the teenagers took action, she needed to cooperate with the wind elf to get the key to this room from Vanilara.

He just said that he was "using it", but in fact, Vanilari had finished eating long ago and was looking down at the documents he had just brought with him, as if he was waiting for her to finish eating so that he could clean up together.

——She was very strict in keeping Cecilia under her watch. She would not even ask the maid to do something like this, but would do it herself instead.

Cecilia always felt that this situation was not very reasonable, but now she obviously did not have much time to think about it, so she could only deal with the key issue first.

She nervously swallowed the last mouthful of oatmeal, preparing to say something to divert Vanilarai's attention so that the wind elf could take action. But before she could think of what to say, Vanilarai spoke first: "You seem to have been looking at me all day long?"

When she said this, the woman did not look up, still staring at the document in her hand, as if she was just asking casually, but Cecilia's vigilance instantly reached its peak.

The hand hidden under the table made a gesture, and the wind elf that was originally ready to attack suddenly stopped its action and quietly lurked again.

After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, Vanila looked up at her and said, "Why don't you speak?" Cecilia's expression was stiff, and she lied, "I was just thinking, how long are you going to keep me locked up?"

Vanilara smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I will keep you here until you are willing to give an answer."

Cecilia knew that this was just an excuse to fool herself. After all, except for today, she had never asked for her answer. However, she just asked casually and didn't want to continue to worry about Vanilara's true thoughts, so she nodded casually.

But Fanilari seemed very dissatisfied with her attitude.

The woman stood up from the table and walked around to her.

Cecilia tightened her grip, but could only watch as Vanilare pressed her down on the chair - the high-ranking mistress always had an unexpectedly sweet tone when threatening people, but her actions were completely the opposite, brutal.

She said: "Although I seldom urge you, my dear Cecilia, you must understand that my patience is not unlimited. You must make that choice as soon as possible, only in this way-"

Only then could she decide Cecilia's final destination.

She didn't say the rest of the sentence.

Vanila Rui looked at Cecilia with satisfaction as she lowered her eyes because of her words. He thought that she probably had a sense of crisis and let go of her hand: "Okay, it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest."

"Hope it'll be a quiet night tonight too, Cecilia."

After leaving these words, Vanilara left with the plate.

As soon as she left, Cecilia jumped up from her chair, lifted the tablecloth and asked nervously, "How is it, did you get the key?"

That's right, the reason why she looked like that just now was not because of the sense of crisis that Vanilara thought, but she was simply worried about whether the wind elf could steal the key from the mistress. When Vanilara pressed her on the chair without any hesitation, she was sure that Vanilara would focus all his attention on her next, and this was the best time for the wind elf to take action.

Sure enough, until he left, Vanilari still didn't notice that one of the keys from his waist was missing.

The wind elf came out from under the table holding the key, his hair swaying with joy. However, he also knew that there was no time to lose, as the young man and the others were still waiting for their news outside Lawrence's mansion, so he had to get the key quickly.

Cecilia watched his figure disappear beside the bed, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards. The wind elf successfully returned before nightfall, bringing back information from the young man.

"Gunhild and Leigenfind are ready. They will light an empty warehouse in the mansion three quarters after nightfall to attract Vanilara's attention. You will wait for me in the room then."

During these days, Cecilia noticed how much Vanilari valued his family, and specifically asked the young men to choose a place where no one would be hurt as a trigger, so as to prevent Vanilari from refusing to give up because of the injuries to his tribesmen.

But no matter what, I hope this back-up plan won’t be used…

Cecilia held the wind elf and waited quietly by the window, waiting for the moment when the suddenly ignited flames dyed the sunset red.
