"Jing Chen-gege, this is the breakfast I prepared for you and Columbia."
"Ah?! Noelle, you've gone to so much trouble again."
Noelle waved her hands quickly.
"No, no trouble at all. Jing Chen-gege and Sister Columbia can eat breakfast made by Noelle. I'm already very happy."
Jing Chen smiled faintly. He didn't want to keep thanking Noelle, because this girl was too polite.
Even if he praised her, she would instantly say several thank yous.
"Then wait for me a moment, I'll go get Columbia."
Noelle nodded, her face full of tenderness.
Jing Chen came to Columbia and gently stroked her beautiful hair.
"Aya, wake up. Get up and eat breakfast."
Columbia slowly turned around, still closing her eyes and speaking hazily.
"Achen, you eat first. I'm still very sleepy."
"My dear Aya, the children are waiting too, so get up.
And Noelle personally prepared our breakfast."
Columbia slowly got up, her hair was fluffy. Jing Chen quickly took out a comb and carefully brushed it for her.
Columbia yawned again, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Jing Chen, do you have any old acquaintances or unfinished business in Mondstadt? Finish up quickly so we can head back."
Jing Chen began to reminisce as he brushed Columbia's hair.
Varka had long since left Mondstadt, and that guy Venti was off drinking under the guise of "The Rich."
Noelle was already a knight.
Amber, Lisa, Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, and Barbara should all be doing fine now.
But that blue-haired girl with a grudge, was she doing alright now?!
Several years ago, he had been her swordsmanship teacher for a while.
(Note: Jing Chen can use both two-handed and one-handed swords.)
Her childhood was like a bird in a cage, living within the icy Lawrence manor.
While her peers chased and played in the boundless dandelion fields, frolicked during the Windblume Festival, and played hide-and-seek in Springvale,
she could only study swordsmanship and the tedious aristocratic etiquette alone.
The days of teaching her swordsmanship gradually faded. When the time came to part ways,
little Eula uncharacteristically burst into tears, clutching at her sleeve, not wanting him to leave.
"Master Jing Chen, are you going to leave me too?! Please, stay and teach me a little longer."
Jing Chen shook his head slightly, and bent down to wipe away little Eula's tears with a handkerchief.
"Eula, all gatherings must eventually end, and I've taught you everything I can.
You'll have to walk the path ahead on your own."
"But, but Master Jing Chen, I…"
"Alright, Eula, I have one last thing to tell you."
"Master, please speak."
"No matter when, no matter where, you must always ensure you can live, and live for yourself.
Not for the Lawrence clan."
"Mm. Master, when will you come back to find me?"
"This… should be quick. I'll come back to find you when I have time."
"Master Jing Chen!! I'll remember this promise!!"
"Goodbye."
As Jing Chen turned and walked away, little Eula chased after him, until he stepped into the white, snow-covered plains.
Only then did she turn and leave.
Times have changed. Perhaps she has grown up now, but Eula's bloodline from the Lawrence family…
Might still cause her to be ostracized in this land.
I'm still a little worried about her. After all, she's my only disciple in a meaningful sense. I also want to see how her swordsmanship is now.
"Aya, I want to see that girl one last time, the one who holds grudges."
"Oh? The girl who holds grudges?! Interesting, I want to see her too. It's Eula, right?
I heard rumors that she looks a lot like Arlecchino."
"She does resemble her a bit."
After Jing Chen finished helping Columbia with her makeup and dressing, he pulled her out of the room, and Noelle quickly stepped forward.
"Good morning, Sister Columbia."
"Good morning, Noelle."
"Sister Columbia, this is the breakfast I prepared for you."
...
After breakfast, Noelle asked softly.
"Sister Columbia, Brother Jing Chen, how long will you be staying in Mondstadt this time?"
"Noelle, we're just passing through Mondstadt. We'll be leaving in a few days to return to Snezhnaya."
Noelle lowered her head, a hint of disappointment on her face, but it quickly vanished.
She raised her head, a happy smile blooming on her face.
"Then let Noelle be your guide these few days, Brother Jing Chen, Sister Columbia, and let's have a good look around Mondstadt."
Jing Chen shook his head slightly again.
"Noelle, I want to see Eula one last time."
"Eula? The Spindrift Knight, Eula?"
"Yes."
Noelle thought for a moment, recalling the Spindrift Knight, Eula.
In her memory, Eula was the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, always talking about holding grudges.
But in reality, she was a very kind and gentle girl, a bit tsundere.
She would carefully bandage stray cats and dogs injured on the roadside.
She was also a close friend of Amber, though Noelle rarely saw her.
The few times he'd spoken with her were always when Amber was around.
"Brother Jing Chen, over the years, there have always been people in Mondstadt who ostracize and ridicule Eula."
Jing Chen frowned. Some Mondstadters really were...
"Sigh, some Mondstadters are just beyond help."
"Brother Jing Chen, how did you get to know Eula?!"
"I was her swordsmanship teacher for a while. I know a bit about her childhood, but I couldn't do much."
"Then Brother Jing Chen, could you introduce me to her as a friend?!"
Hearing Noelle's sincere words, Jing Chen thought for a moment.
Not everyone is like Amber. If Noelle became friends with Eula...
While it would be a good thing for Eula, it might not be for Noelle.
At that time, perhaps some people in Mondstadt would spread rumors that were unfavorable to Noelle.
Amber didn't care about these things at all, but that girl Noelle wouldn't be like that.
She might be hurt by the rumors.
To protect Noelle, it's better not to introduce her to Eula.
"This... Noelle, how should I put it, you are now a knight, and Eula is also the Spindrift Knight.
The contract of friendship between knights doesn't need a third party's introduction."
Noelle hurriedly took out paper and a pen, recording what had been said.
Jing Chen gave an awkward laugh, thinking Noelle was taking this too seriously.
Columbia leaned over in front of Noelle.
"Sister Noelle, may I take a look at what's written in this notebook?"
Noelle handed the notebook to Columbia.
[Noelle's Knightly Code]
After Columbia had flipped through it, she realized that Noelle really wanted to become a qualified knight.
No matter what she did, she was very serious, whether it was daily chores or eliminating monsters.
Meticulousness and all-out effort were already Noelle's norm.
