Three minutes later, in the lounge on the second floor of the Alchemy Division, Noelle placed the two cups of tea she had prepared on the table in front of Lady Keqing and Sugar.

Sandu sat on the sofa with her head down, her legs bent inwards, and her hands on her thighs, looking like she had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

Keqing was also a little embarrassed at this time. After being ignored twice, she wanted to pat Sucrose's hair to remind her, but... she didn't expect that it was actually an ear.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it..."

The one who apologized was not Keqing, but Sucrose.

She stood up from the sofa and bowed sincerely to Keqing to apologize.

Even Keqing herself didn't expect this.

"I should be the one to apologize. I just wanted to call you back. I didn't mean to scare you." Keqing stood up and said.

Sucrose looked up in surprise: "Ah, are you the lady Keqing that Noelle mentioned?"

"Huh? Sugar, do you remember what I told you?" This surprised Noelle who was standing by. She thought Sugar didn't listen at that time.

"I remember." Sandang nodded, then turned her head and touched the back of her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I, I wanted to finish my research and wait for you, but I accidentally forgot the time. I'm really sorry."

Noelle: "Research? Not doing research in a lab?"

"Yes, I'm doing the 'Thirteenth Comparison of Habit Differences between Calico Cats and Humans' research." Sugar nodded.

Speaking of this, Keqing can no longer remain silent.

"Well, so you hid in the bushes and spied on the cat?" She said sternly, "Even though he was a cat, even though I'm not from Mondstadt, I know that this kind of thing is not allowed."

"Peeping? Ah..."

"No, no!"

Sandang waved her hands: "I didn't peek, I just followed her for a bit..."

(How is this different from peeping?)

Keqing was speechless.

At this time, Noelle blinked and suddenly remembered something.

"I remember now. Sugar once told me that she wanted to see how cats with special bloodlines differed from herself."

"Could it be the cat?"

Sugar Chicken nodded like pecking at rice: "It's the cat."

"If it's that cat, it makes sense." Noelle nodded.

Sugar was ecstatic, her eyes shining.

"Right, right? Noelle will definitely understand! That cat!"

Keqing tilted her head, feeling like an outsider.

There is another chapter tonight

Chapter 39: Noelle is dizzy

Afterwards, Noelle also helped Sucrose explain her "peek" behavior to Keqing.

Although Sucrose is indeed doing research, Keqing still doesn’t quite understand the connection between doing research and tracking cats.

But then, Sugar suddenly pushed his glasses, ran to her and said: Can I smell your body?

Keqing understood that the worrying character of this alchemist was not "shy" or "voyeuristic", but: curiosity.

After leaving one of their handkerchiefs for Sugar, Keqing and Noelle left the alchemy branch building.

"Lady Keqing, don't worry about Sucrose's abilities. I heard from Lady Lisa and Captain Jean that she is her teacher's most proud student." On the way back, Noel said to Keqing.

The maid thought Keqing was worried that Sucrose was a shady alchemist.

But Keqing certainly doesn't doubt her abilities. Someone with such curiosity will definitely achieve great things in her field.

She was worried about the cat that was being stalked by Sugar.

Although this kid worked very hard and was well prepared, what if he was caught?

That would definitely make him look like a pervert or a stalker.

Keqing will be leaving in a day or two, and during this period, Sucrose cannot go to jail in the Knights of Favonius.

"Noelle, you said before that the cat that Sucrose was researching belonged to Ms. Margaret?" Keqing asked.

"Yes."

"Is it the talking cat from Margaret's house?"

"Ah."

(Are there really talking cats?)

Keqing still doesn't quite believe it. She has seen a talking Qilin before, but that was a half-immortal. She has never seen a talking cat in Liyue.

But now is not the time to think about this issue.

"Then let's go find Ms. Margaret and talk to her." Keqing said after thinking for a while.

"Looking for Ms. Margaret?"

Keqing nodded: "Okay, let them know and apologize."

After thinking for a while, Noelle understood what Lady Keqing meant.

It is true that what Sando did was a bit informal, but she is not comfortable talking to people directly because of her personality, so she resorted to tracking to do her research.

Lady Keqing has only known Sucrose for less than a day, but she is so thoughtful.

I can only say that he is worthy of being the person that Captain Qin likes, and he can really do everything properly.

As Noelle's admiration for Lady Keqing increased, Keqing crossed two streets and arrived in front of the fountain square.

Then when we passed by the gift shop, we saw Ms. Margaret, who was shopping inside.

After knocking on the door and entering, Margaret looked very happy to see the two of them.

"Hey, Noelle and Lady Keqing, shouldn't Lady Keqing be spending the night together? Why did she come to see me?"

Keqing then told her about Sucrose following her cat, and emphasized her apology for Sucrose's behavior.

However, Margaret did not seem angry. Instead, she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment after listening.

"I thought so. The cat has been so angry these past two days. According to the guests, the drinks he mixed all tasted intoxicating. They wanted to slap themselves in the face."

(Cats? Bartending?)

There is another question mark above Keqing’s head.

“Ah, is it that serious?” Noelle looked worried.

Margaret sneered and said, "Don't worry, Noelle. Maomao just thought that some drunkard was following her and wanted to steal her recipe. He gritted his teeth and said something like 'Don't let me catch you, I'm sure you won't be as drunk as you'."

"I was worried that it was some rude guest, but now that you told me it was Sucrose, I feel relieved. Although I don't think I have seen the child, since Lady Keqing has guaranteed it, the child must be a good one."

Keqing didn't expect that she had such a big face, but in fact, after she rescued Jean safely, the people of Mondstadt had a better impression of her.

"It's just that..." Margaret was a little puzzled. "If that alchemist named Sugar wants to study the habits of cats, why doesn't she just come over and ask her in person?"

Well... Keqing and Noelle didn't know how to explain Sucrose's personality, so they just laughed it off and changed the subject.

Then Keqing politely declined Margaret's invitation to drink and buy her a gift, thanked her for her understanding, and returned to the hotel.

"That Ms. Margaret is really idle." After returning to the room, Keqing couldn't help but complain.

Noelle nodded: "Ms. Margaret's family is rich, and the pub she opened seems to be doing better and better business now, so she goes shopping every day."

There are quite a few people like this in Mondstadt and Liyue as well, but not to such an exaggerated extent.

All we can say is that what kind of God you have, what kind of people you will have.

But there are exceptions, such as Noelle and Jean are very direct examples.

The personalities of these two people are more like those of Liyue people.

"Lady Keqing, will you go find the remaining teammates tomorrow?" Noel asked after folding Keqing's coat.

Keqing shook her head: "I will prepare some things tomorrow, and then we can set off in the evening."

“So soon?” Noelle was surprised, then thought for a moment and said, “Then Lady Keqing is going there alone with Sucrose? Wouldn’t that be… too dangerous?”

"It's not just Sucrose. I found two teammates." Keqing said while writing documents.

"Two?" Noelle asked curiously, "Who is the other one?"

Is it Amber? But isn't she out there with Master Diluk, settling the villagers outside Mondstadt?

Moreover, she had been following Lady Keqing the whole day, and she had not seen Lady Keqing go to look for other members of the Knights of Favonius.

“As for the other one, of course it’s right in front of me,” Keqing said.

"In front of Lady Keqing..."

“Eh? That’s…” Noelle’s face was filled with shock, and his heart suddenly started beating wildly.

"I...I? You're talking about me?!"

"It's you, Noelle, don't you want to go with me?" Keqing tilted her head and smiled.

“No, no!” Noelle shook her head quickly, looking unbelievable. “It’s just, it’s too sudden. Lady Keqing is going to such an important position and such a dangerous place…”

"Don't worry, there won't be any danger with me here."

After Keqing finished speaking, she handed the written paper to Noelle: "This is my application form. Take it and have Sugar sign it. You also sign one. Then show it to Jean and have her stamp it. That's it."

……

……

Happiness came too suddenly, and Noelle was still dizzy until she came out of Sugar's house and walked towards the Knights.

She didn't expect that Lady Keqing would choose her to go with her to investigate the seal.

You know, although she is also a member of the Knights Templar, she is not even a formal knight.

Noelle believed that there were many people in the Knights who were better than her.

And in terms of intelligence, Noelle doesn't think she's half as smart as Sucrose.

She is just an ordinary maid who has a small wish to be a knight.

When Lady Keqing said that she chose me, I was even more excited than when Captain Jean praised me.

This was undoubtedly a powerful recognition for Noelle.

Lady Keqing did not regard her as a servant to serve her, but as a partner she could choose.

(Could it be that, just like when Captain Jean agreed to let me join the Knights as a maid, Lady Keqing also saw some shining point in herself?)

But what is her shining point?

Captain Qin didn't answer at that time, and even now Noelle herself is still not sure.

(No... Could it be that they are both hallucinating?)

Noelle thought this while still feeling a little dizzy.

Chapter 40 40. Beautiful Clothes

At this time, she had arrived at the door of the Knights.
