Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

All Mondstadt residents would try to avoid contact with her after seeing her. If it weren't for the scout knight named Amber who had intervened not long ago, she probably wouldn't have been able to move an inch in Mondstadt.

Unlike the others, the enthusiastic scout knight treated her the same as everyone else.

Especially after hearing about her story, instead of ostracizing her like others, they extended a helping hand to her with warm smiles.

"I believe that others just have some misunderstandings about you. As long as you explain things clearly to them, they will definitely be able to understand you just like I do."

A cheerful girl named Amber greeted her with this smile.

That kind of enthusiasm that allows her to get along with anyone is like a flame.

This stirred up waves in her conflicted heart, which had been sealed by ice, making it difficult for her to find peace for quite some time. But if she had to name that feeling specifically...

All she could say was that being with that girl made her very happy.

When she was with Amber, she was always able to put aside and forget her identity as a descendant of the Lawrence family, not as a descendant of the Lawrence family, but simply as a good friend of the girl named Amber.

This caused a significant change in her mindset from the very beginning, and this change naturally did not escape the notice of Pantalone, Yura's nominal adoptive father.

After discovering the changes in Yura, on the night Yura returned to the Fools' embassy in Mondstadt, Pantalone pointed out the changes in Yura during this period.

Looking at the girl with short, ice-blue hair dressed in the uniform of the Fools, Pantalone, sitting in the mansion's office, asked Yura this question.

“I heard that you recently met a scout knight named Amber. That girl seems to have a big influence on you, causing such a significant change in you.”

"Dad, about that, actually I..."

Yura felt a surge of nervousness at Pantalone's sudden question.

She wasn't worried that she might lose her friendship with the girl named Amber because of this, but rather that Pantalone might think that Amber's existence would affect her judgment in carrying out the mission, and thus take action against the girl.

If a girl named Amber were to suffer misfortune because of her, then that would be absolutely unacceptable to her.

Regarding this matter, Pantalone simply picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and interrupted Yura, who was about to offer some explanation, with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything to that girl."

"I just want to remind you not to forget what my real purpose was in bringing you to Mondstadt. As for anything else you want to do, I won't stop you from doing anything."

Pantalone's answer relieved Yura, who had been extremely nervous.

She thought that it was because she and Amber were too close that Pantalone saw Amber's presence as an obstacle to her decision-making in carrying out her mission, so she planned to do something to Amber.

This made her even consider severing ties with Amber so that her father would let Amber go when she heard this.

"Of course, the reason I specifically called you here to talk is not to discuss your recent interpersonal relationships. You should already know that I have arranged things for you regarding the Knights."

"If all goes well, it should be completely resolved in the next few days. So what I really want to talk to you about is something else. You should have already seen the diplomatic rhetoric of the Fools."

"The mess left by the old Mondstadt nobles is still too much trouble for the Fatui to handle, so we need a more suitable target. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Pantalone's words caused a slight change in Yura's expression.

She certainly couldn't be unaware of what Pantalone was referring to, which was precisely why Pantalone had chosen her as the intermediary between the Winter Mission and the Knights of Mondstadt.

Just as that diplomatic statement said, no matter how unscrupulous the Fools may be.

Ultimately, it's not appropriate for them to openly and directly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, they need a force that allows them to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries, and this force should ideally be domestic and have a certain degree of influence.

Her status as a descendant of Lawrence undoubtedly made her an ideal target for exploitation.

Using Lawrence's identity would indeed provide sufficient legitimacy.

This prompted her to remain silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and replying.

“I understand what you mean, Dad.”

"I will take care of that later."

Pantalone nodded in satisfaction after seeing Yura's reaction.

Just when Yura thought that this was all Pantarone wanted to say to her, Pantarone suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Pantalone's words startled Yura, who wondered what he wanted to say when he called her back.

However, since the other party called her over, they must have something they wanted to say to her.

Just as she was thinking this, Pantalone showed her his empty teacup, which made Yura's face show a big question mark.

She couldn't understand what her cheap father was trying to convey by showing her the empty teacup.

When Pantalone saw that Yura was standing there, not understanding what he meant, he sighed softly, stood up from his seat, and walked over to her.

Just as she was wondering what Pantarone was up to, Pantarone reached out and tapped Yura on the head with two fingers, making her cry out in pain.

This made her reach out her small, delicate hands to hug her head, looking at Pantalone with a slightly bewildered expression.

Then Pantalone said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't you understand? Dad's tea's gone, hurry up and make him a pot. How can Dad work without tea? You don't want Dad to be unable to work, right? Then hurry up and go!"

After a moment of bewilderment, Yura belatedly realized what was happening.

He then appeared flustered and confused, and then expressed and responded.

"Oh? Oh! Okay! I'll go right away!"
