Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

After Yura arrived and took her seat, Arecino, as the host, extended her greetings.

"This is our first meeting, isn't it? The daughter of the Lawrence family, the old nobles of Mondstadt."

"I want to know what your purpose is in summoning me here."

Yura wasn't particularly surprised that Arecino knew her identity.

After all, for Arecino, who was an executive officer just like her adoptive father, it wasn't difficult to find out about her, especially for the "servant" Arecino.

Perhaps what happened to her was something that some of the Fatui officers and others couldn't do, but for the Enforcers, it wasn't a secret. Anyone with a little interest could find out everything.

Yura, unmoved by Arecino's polite words, went straight to the point and asked her question: what was Arecino's true purpose in inviting her?

Seeing Yura's direct and straightforward approach, Arecino, as the host, simply smiled and then presented her with the most comprehensive document she had ever collected about Yura.

After picking up the documents that Arecino had thrown out, Yura's expression changed slightly upon seeing their contents. She bit her lip slightly and then looked at Arecino and asked.

"What are you trying to tell me by showing me these?"

Although Yura felt a slight ripple of emotion upon seeing the documents submitted by Arecino, she quickly calmed down.

Even so, nothing could calm Yura down.

Because the document that Arecino produced was none other than a detailed account of everything Pantalone had done to Lawrence and how she had used her schemes to bring Mondstadt, her homeland, to its current state.

She wasn't unaware that Pantalone was the culprit who had led her to this fate, but while she harbored hatred for Pantalone, she also felt gratitude towards him for freeing her from Lawrence's prison.

This caused her to harbor conflicting emotions towards Pantalone that she herself could not articulate.

Although she quickly suppressed her emotions after her expression changed, this fleeting expression still did not escape Arecino's notice.

Arecino smiled slightly, watching Yura try her best to hide her emotions, and then spoke.

"As far as I know, Pantalone promised you that he would serve him and gave you the power to take revenge on him someday. These are the conditions Pantalone offered you, am I right?"

“Even if Pantalone makes promises to you and provides you with help, there is no denying that Pantalone is indeed the object of your revenge. So, don’t you want revenge?”

"No matter what Pantalone says, as long as you are under Pantalone's control, you will always be under Pantalone's control."

Faced with Arecino's words, Yura fell silent. After a long while, she asked the question that had been on her mind.

Why are you telling me all this?

"I just feel that you are very similar to me in the past, so I decided to help you out."

Arecino smiled slightly as she looked at Yura's silent expression.

"As you can see, we have a common enemy, don't we? How about we make a deal? If you're willing to help me deal with Pantalone, then I'll help you take revenge on Pantalone. How about it?"

Upon hearing Arecino's promise, Yura's heart wavered slightly for a moment in the face of Arecino's proposed deal.

But after calming down and thinking it over, she ultimately chose to reject the idea.

She admitted that when Arecino presented her terms, she did have a moment where she wanted to agree immediately.

However, she ultimately did not choose to accept the deal proposed by Arecino. While she certainly harbored a deep-seated grudge against Pantalone, the fact remained that Pantalone had helped her.

For Yura, betrayal was more unacceptable than revenge itself.

Because she lost everything because of Lawrence's betrayal, even if Pantalone was the one who caused it all, if it's about revenge, she should resolve it herself, not through someone else.

Such revenge would not bring her pleasure, but rather make her feel nauseous.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but... I refuse!"

"I will never accept revenge obtained through the hands of others. If I want revenge, I will only do it in my own way and carry out my own revenge myself."

"If that's all you wanted to say, then there's nothing more to say between us."

Yura stood up from her seat and then planned to leave.

Seeing that Yura had expressed her thoughts through her actions, Arecino understood what Yura was thinking. However, she didn't say anything more, just shook her head as she watched Yura's back, and then called out to Yura.

"As your senior, I still want to give you a little advice... Sometimes the people or things you believe in will only betray your own expectations, and the final result may not be as satisfactory as you imagined."

"The darkness hidden beneath that guy's mask is unimaginable to outsiders. If you leave Pantalone now, you still have a chance."

"If you choose to continue following that man, then I hope you won't regret your decision later."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, Yura paused slightly and pursed her lips.

Yura took a deep breath, then turned back to look at Arecino's figure and replied.

"Of course I understand what I am doing, and I will take my own revenge on him in my own way."

After answering Arecino's question, Yura walked out the door without looking back.

Watching Yura's departing figure, Arecino wasn't particularly disappointed by the outcome; it was something she had expected.

Moreover, this was not a complete failure for her. In a sense, she had achieved her goal and learned what she wanted to know.

She knew that although what she had done seemed like a failure, she had actually planted a seed in Yura's heart.

When the seed sprouts, she will eventually become someone like herself.

Watching the departing figure, Arecino leaned back in her chair, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She picked up a cup of freshly brewed black tea from the table and sipped it gently.

"Heh... Won't you regret it? I'm really looking forward to it."
