Moreover, if it was those people who made the decision... then it can only be said that Yura is really not far from leaving the Knights.
Jiang Ning is now waiting. If the result is that Qin is persuaded by Lisa and Kaiya to come to her senses and treat these parasites as decisively as she would an enemy, then congratulations, Yura is saved.
However, if you hesitate and those parasites seize the initiative, congratulations, Liyue has gained a squad leader of guerrilla knights.
"Ugh, all this stuff..." Jiang Ning said impatiently. "Yura, you're my friend. If Mondstadt really can't accept you anymore, come to Liyue with me."
Yura felt a little better: "Hmph, don't worry, I think this is just a small matter. It will be fine once the storm passes. But thank you anyway."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "A vengeful knight would actually thank you?"
"..."
Yura opened her mouth, but the day's work left her too tired to complain, though she did feel much more relaxed.
Jiang Ning didn't continue trying to persuade Yura to come to Liyue, as that would seem too deliberate.
To put it simply, consider this a seed; whether it sprouts or not depends on Qin's decision.
…………
“I disagree with stripping Yura Lawrence of her title as the Wave Knight. Moreover, I had no idea about what you said before about Yura being removed from her position as captain of the Guerrilla Knight Squad and being forced to take a leave of absence. What gives you the right to leak this information?”
In Qin's office, Qin looked furious as she stared at the elderly knights and nobles before her.
These people are the family representatives who don't want Yura to stay in the Knights.
“This isn’t something you can decide alone, Jean. For the sake of Mondstadt’s stability and freedom, Yola must leave the Knights.”
One of the older men said.
"Yes, who knows if Yura is a spy sent by the Fools and the Lawrence family? Maybe she even made this city defense map."
Qin Du laughed in exasperation: "I had Kaeya leak the city defense map to set up a trap. Besides, Yura has been in Liyue all this time, not Mondstadt. What you're saying is complete nonsense."
"So, what explanation do you have for saying that before Yura Lawrence joined the Knights, the Lawrence family, though detestable, were relatively well-behaved, but after she joined, those who wanted to restore their glory and regain their power began to stir again?"
"Furthermore, these are witness testimonies we collected from residents outside Mondstadt."
"Yura Lawrence is usually very fierce and makes enemies easily. Many people even think that Yura Lawrence's behavior is too barbaric and damages the property of Mondstadt residents."
One witness testimonies after another were placed in front of Qin, but Qin still glared angrily at the people in front of her.
"These are just Yura's protective colors. Yura's position in Mondstadt is already awkward enough, so she can only pretend to be fierce, otherwise she will be bullied. As for what you said about making enemies, that's just Yura's catchphrase. When have you ever seen Yura actually take revenge?"
"Furthermore, when facing monsters, Yura steps forward, often fighting alone. She has to deal with monsters and ensure people's safety at the same time. How can she have the energy to ensure the integrity of property?"
“In my opinion, what you’re saying…” Qin took a deep breath, her eyes sharp, “is all prejudice!”
“Jin Gurenhildr, watch your attitude and stance.”
On the other side, the "parasites" were also unwilling to give an inch. They had finally managed to get Yura off the field, and perhaps then they could replace her with their own young "prodigy".
"Back then, Volga strongly advocated for Yura Lawrence, which we opposed in the first place. Now it seems that we should have opposed it. During Yura Lawrence's time as a knight, there were far more negative reviews and dissatisfaction than positive ones. So, even if it's a matter of the minority obeying the majority, she should be allowed to go back."
"Moreover, you are only the acting commander, not the chief commander. We have the right to impeach you. When Chief Volga left, he did not say that it was your personal fiefdom. We are here today not to discuss things with you, but to inform you."
"Yura Lawrence must leave the Knights."
After saying that, they left Qin's office like triumphant roosters.
Qin braced herself on the table with both hands, panting heavily, her high chest heaving up and down with each breath.
"Jin, I've already told you, these guys are just a bunch of infighting... Why didn't they come out when the Fatui were around?"
Lisa and Kaya came out from the inner room, scoffing at the words of those people.
"Furthermore, they say the Grand Master didn't give you the final say, so why didn't you object when the Grand Master made the announcement? Now that the Grand Master isn't in Mondstadt, they're acting all high and mighty..."
Kaiya followed suit and said the same thing.
"If you ask me, Qin, you should issue a statement in your capacity as acting leader to support Yura. Otherwise, Yura will really be able to get away with this."
Lisa looked serious, her usual lazy and playful demeanor gone.
"However, the Knights of Favonius need to discuss and agree upon their decisions..."
Qin was still somewhat bound by dogma; otherwise, in the original story, she wouldn't have secretly helped the traveler steal the Sky Harp in her own name, instead of lending it out in the name of the Knights.
It can only be said that the Knights Order is not ruled by Qin, Lisa, and Kaeya's faction.
"No, when those people announced the mandatory leave and a series of measures for Yura, did they consult you?"
"You're still thinking about negotiating? If you back down this time, you might be forced to give up your position as commander next time."
Lisa exaggerated the story.
But this was only to wake Qin up; as for forcing her to abdicate... that was impossible.
Leaving aside the most established and powerful noble family in Mondstadt, there is the Gunnhildr family behind Jean.
Even without a family, Grand Master Volga is still alive. As long as Jean doesn't repeat the oppression and restoration of the Lawrence family, the position of acting Grand Master won't fall to anyone else.
"I...I know, but..."
Qin felt her head getting heavier and heavier, and the documents in front of her became blurry. Finally, everything went black, and she collapsed.
"Qin!"
Lisa and Kaia's expressions changed drastically. Lisa quickly came to Qin's side, supported her, and looked at the unhealthy blush on Qin's face, then touched her burning forehead.
Lisa understood instantly.
I thought it was because of those people, but it turns out it was just a fever.
Damn.
133. The Power of a Drunkard
"Is the ensemble leader taking a break due to illness?"
When Jiang Ning heard the news, he was first taken aback, and then asked with great concern, "Are you alright?"
Kaiya looked somewhat troubled: "It's nothing serious, I just overworked myself and caught a cold, so I collapsed. I just need to rest..."
“However, if Qin doesn’t step in… Yura’s situation will become somewhat dangerous.”
Jiang Ning said.
Kaiya was also troubled: "Who says otherwise?"
For now, he's just holding on with a harp. He's the captain of the cavalry squad, which sounds impressive, but he doesn't have much real power. Lisa, on the other hand, is an advisor to the Knights of Favonius. Although they usually consult Lisa on important matters.
However, in this power struggle, Lisa's opinion became irrelevant to them.
Now that Qin has fallen, they realize that although they still have the advantage in terms of combat strength, they also realize that Qin has the upper hand in politics.
"No one could have predicted this. It just serves as a reminder that even if we don't intend to get involved in power struggles, we can't be powerless just because one person falls..."
Lisa sighed, no longer in the mood to tease Jiang Ning.
"Everyone says that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, but in the end, we were also caught up in the situation and blinded by our own eyes."
It can only be said that Kaeya focused too much on monitoring and dealing with the Abyss and the Fatui, while Lisa, due to her own special circumstances, lived too comfortably and therefore became less vigilant than before.
"What about Yura?" Amber was very frustrated.
Yura, on the other hand, looked terrible, her face slightly pale: "N-nothing, I'm used to it anyway..."
Even so, this incident was still a big blow to Yura.
After working so hard for so long, my reputation among some people has gradually improved. Now, suddenly, this incident happened, my family is gone, and I've been labeled as a suspected spy for the Fools. When I tried to prove myself, I found that I had been suspended from my job.
With one of his biggest backers on an expedition and the other ill, he had no one left to speak for him politically.
This feeling of isolation and helplessness made Yura feel suffocated.
"Kaiya, go and find Abedo. I'll also try to make some alchemical potions and try to bring Qin's condition down within the next couple of days..."
Lisa squinted. She knew how terrible it was when Qin's accumulated symptoms suddenly erupted all at once. Basically, she had been running a fever and feeling delirious for the entire night and day today.
Barbara was also at a loss. The doctors all said that this illness was caused by overwork and that she could only rest and recover.
So, despite holding a grudge verbally, Yura still cared deeply about her friends and didn't let Amber and the others bother Jean anymore.
Lisa felt that this couldn't go on, so she thought that at least Qin should wake up first, even if it was just for a day, and issue an order regarding Yura's Knights Order. At least Yura's position in the Knights Order should be saved. As for the captain's position, they could talk about that after she fully recovered.
We can only settle for the next best thing.
Lisa's idea was simple: if Qin was sober, even if she had to be forced to sign the order, she would make her sign it. She could talk about the big principles later; she just needed to tell Qin whether she wanted Yura to be fired.
Right now, we're racing against time on our end.
To be honest, my own alchemy skills are still a bit weak, and I don't know if they will work immediately. But Abedo is different, which is why I sent Kaiya to find Abedo.
That's the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, and with him around, perhaps we can have some say in the higher-ups of the Knights, even if it's just a little.
Kaiya nodded: "I'll go right away."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he hurriedly left.
"Well, I..."
Yura's voice was a little hoarse, and Lisa slightly raised her hand:
"Don't worry, Yura, we will give you fair treatment."
Lisa then revealed a dangerous smile. Did they really think she was an easy target?
If you push her too far, send Klee to her mother, then send Iris to Falga. Once Falga's orders arrive, start a massive purge on your side...
The former Rose Witch of the Order of the Church was no pushover.
…………
Although Lisa and the others had a good idea, they were still a step too late. Kaeya and Abedo arrived in Mondstadt at night.
Then, with the help of Lisa and Abedo, Qin woke up in the early morning, and the document was drafted in the morning, but before it could be sent out, the higher-ups of the Knights had already sent the documents over.
Basically, because Yura Lawrence is suspected of being a spy for the Fools and attempting to help the Lawrence family restore their power, she is stripped of her title as Wave Knight, removed from her position as captain of the guerrilla squad, and expelled from the Knights of Favonius.
It can be said that it achieved the goal in one step.
I reckon the next step will be to get Yola out of Mondstadt.
Like the rest of the Lawrence family who wanted to live a good life, they were driven out and marginalized.
