Although she appeared calm on the surface, Keqing actually didn't know how to start the conversation.
If Gong Qu were here, he would probably complain: It’s my first time as the main wife, how can I convince the mistress who deeply loves my husband to withdraw from the competition? Waiting online, urgent!
"Um... Miss Keqing?"
"I'm here!"
Noelle was startled by Keqing's sudden loud voice.
Keqing blushed and said, "Sorry, I'm a little nervous... Oh, let's start from the beginning. Aqu just said it was our first meeting, right? Do you want to know why?"
Noelle felt her heart skip a beat.
Her instincts told her that she didn't have to know the truth, but she wanted to know everything about the Knight of Honor.
"Well, Miss Keqing, please go ahead! I'm ready!"
The maid suddenly became serious.
Keqing relaxed instead: "No need to be so nervous. By the way, your voice sounds very familiar to me. It reminds me of another honorary knight of yours, Ying."
Keqing made a rare joke.
This earned him a shy look from the maid, and for a moment he was in a good position.
Afterwards, Keqing told a rather long story.
"Aqu's real name is Gongqu. He is 25 years old, but he has already experienced two lives..."
An hour passed.
Keqing organized the information she knew and told it without embellishment.
Visible.
The maid is no longer as shy as she was at the beginning.
She unconsciously opened her mouth slightly and her pupils dilated.
This is a sign of extreme surprise.
After saying this, Keqing took out a bottle of soda water from her backpack and moistened her throat, waiting for Noelle to digest this huge amount of information.
For a long time.
Noelle came back to her senses, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes: "Ms. Keqing, is everything you said true? The events that the Honor Knight went through with us were all fake. They were fairy tales compiled by a company called Mihoyo?"
"It's Miha... Never mind, just Mihuyou. Yes, that's what he told me."
"Are you telling me this so that I can forget these false stories and start a new life of my own?"
Keqing shook her head: "It would be best if you can let it go. This will be a good thing for both you and him, but I will not interfere with the final choice. It is up to you to decide."
Noelle wiped her tears and raised her head, her emerald eyes filled with determination.
"Miss Keqing, do you want to hear my story?"
"Eh? Well...it's not impossible. Go ahead."
Noelle sat on a chair in the locker room, closed her eyes and began to recall.
"I am a child who grew up in the Knights, and I am also a flower that was nurtured and grown by the Knights."
As the maid told the story.
A picture gradually formed in Keqing's mind.
The little girl grew up under the care of the kind knights, was influenced by the spirit of chivalry, and thus set the ambition to help others become knights.
She tried to climb up.
Doing things that he is not used to, from knowing nothing to mastering various skills, only Noelle and Feng know the sweat behind it.
Until one day, Noelle's strong will was recognized by God, and she obtained the Eye of God.
However, it was also from that moment on.
Noelle felt the awe and alienation in the knights' eyes.
Did I do something wrong?
She had thought so.
But in the end, Noelle concluded that she wasn't doing well enough!
You also need to work harder to help others and practice chivalrous virtues in order to become an outstanding knight.
Day by day.
The sapling named Noel grew stronger and stronger, and looked more and more like a perfect knight, but he was getting further and further away from becoming the Knight of Favonius.
It wasn't until the dragon plague broke out and two travelers from other places visited Mondstadt that she met the most important person in her life.
He said: "Becoming a perfect knight can certainly make you satisfied, but it also raises the standards of the secular profession of 'knight'. No one can meet these requirements except you, so they will do everything they can to prevent you from becoming a 'knight'. Of course, there are also people who see through this and help you join the group."
"The way to join the group is to become imperfect. You need to have flaws and shortcomings to become a 'qualified' Knight of Favonius."

"It seems like he can say some crooked truths all the time."
After listening to Noelle's story, Keqing felt even more sympathetic towards this hard-working but unrecognized girl.
“Have you found your imperfect path now?”
Noelle shook her head. “I think I found it.”
"What is should?"
Noelle thought for a moment and replied, "In the past few months since I lost the news of the Honor Knight, I messed up a lot of things I did to help others because I was worried about his safety. People gradually treated me as an ordinary person instead of the all-powerful maid 'Noelle'."
"...You've really worked hard."
Noelle gave her a shy smile in return.
"He is not a perfect destination. You are still young and have more options."
"Ms. Keqing shouldn't be that old either. Didn't she also choose to be an honorary knight? And it seems that Senior Lisa has made the same choice as me."
Keqing smiled bitterly: "You are so sensitive in this area. Shouldn't you be the type who is a little slow in emotions?"
Noelle said seriously, "I don't know if this counts as love, but my heart starts beating fast when I think of the Honor Knight. But when he looks at me, I'm no longer nervous, and instead feel relieved. It seems that as long as he's by my side, I can do anything."
This child is in too deep!
Keqing is just a young girl who got married not long ago. How could she know how to guide a love-sick girl?
The only thing we can do is to end the topic and let the person involved solve it on his own.
"Ah, I don't know why, but seeing you is like seeing my past self. They have been waiting outside for a long time. Let's go out."
Noelle led Keqing in.
When they went out, their roles were reversed and their mindsets also changed.
"Oh? Aqing and Noelle came out?"
Gong Qu, who was leaning on the wooden stake, stood up.
"Why, it looks like Aqing has told you everything?"
Seeing Keqing's silence, Gong Qu immediately guessed that she was defeated by Noel's stubbornness.
There is no way, Teyvat is a subjective world.
These people who possess the eyes of God all have some "mental illness" to a greater or lesser extent. After all, those who have no pursuits cannot gain the attention of God.
"Honorary Knight, I have a request, can you please grant it to me?"
"Oh? Noelle's request? That's really rare. Just tell me. As long as it doesn't violate my personal principles, I'll agree to it."
Seeing that Gong Qu agreed without her saying anything, Keqing shook her ponytails with a bit of jealousy.
Lisa covered her mouth and smiled like an auntie.
Noelle took a deep breath and placed her right hand on her left chest.
"Apprentice Knight Noelle, I swear to you that I will be your exclusive maid knight from now on and will always be by your side. With this contract, I will remain committed to you for the rest of my life!"
puff!
Gong Qu almost choked to death on his saliva.
He looked at Keqing in astonishment.
Are you trying to persuade others or to add catalysts?
At least they could chat normally before entering, but now they are swearing allegiance right out of the gate? Should there be a cane like Qin's that Noelle breaks to make it more appropriate?
Keqing glared at him fiercely.
What can I do? This is my first time doing such evil things. What if I am not experienced?
The couple’s internal voice chat ended.
Lisa, who was just watching the show, lost her smile and complained in her heart: If the situation continues like this, the Knights of Favonius might as well be made a subordinate organization of Gong Qu.
Wait, dear, you have seen the Wind God before, but how did he find the Wind God directly? Could it be that the Wind God has been paying attention to him? Speaking of which, is our Mondstadt Wind God a man or a woman? Could it be that...
Lisa was frightened by her own thoughts and quickly deleted the relevant records and stopped talking nonsense about God.
......
Perhaps Gong Qu took too long to think.
Noelle went from being full of confidence at the beginning to now starting to have wild thoughts, wondering if he was hated.
Contract, Knights, Noelle...
Gong Qu's brain was working rapidly, and he finally nodded heavily before the highlight in Noel's eyes disappeared.
"Noelle, I... accept your allegiance."
Noelle turned from worry to joy: That’s great, I’m not hated!
"but!"
There was a turn in Gong Qu's voice.
Noelle nervously watched him walk towards her, stroking his warm hand on her head.
“But everyone in the Knights has taken care of Noel for so long, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Noel to just leave like that, right? So I ask Noel to continue his training in the Knights for a few more years, or until Grand Master Falga and the others return.”
"Otherwise, what if I kidnapped Noelle, one of their most important figures, when the Knights of Favonius were short of people, and Jean came to me crying?"
“Noelle doesn’t want to see the strong Captain Jean crying, right?”
Noel couldn't refuse Gong Qu's request.
At the same time, through physical contact with the original grass elemental power, Gong Qu discovered the truth about the girl's feelings.
She didn't have any romantic interest in herself.
It is a kind of longing, a longing for an ideal person.
This longing gave her the illusion that she liked Gong Qu, and made her want to get closer to him like a moth to a flame.
In fact, Noelle, who has an altruistic personality, finds it difficult to develop a need for love that is based on herself. It is more of a part of her realizing her self-worth.
That feeling is not love, it is peace of mind.
So far, this is the fourth form of level 4 favorability that Gong Qu has discovered.
The first type is the relationship between men and women like Keqing, Lisa, and Qin, which is the embodiment of love that lasts until death.
The second type is the friendship with friends of the same sex or of equal status like Venti. To use an allusion to describe it, it is a friendship of life and death. It is estimated that Zhongli in the future will most likely be of this type.
The third is the affection between him and Keli. Although he doesn't know how this girl developed such affection for him, even outsiders can see the affection between them clearly.
The fourth kind is what I discovered from Noelle - yearning, or faith.
In her heart, Gong Qu was more like a spiritual pillar. If she had to make a comparison, he was more like the gatekeeper's faith and worship for herself.
Watching the warm interaction between the two.
The jealousy between Keqing and Lisa gradually disappeared.
