Chapter 336 Eula's Insincere Words
Chapter 336 Eula's Insincere Words
While Rosaline was washing dishes and cleaning up, the others gathered around the campfire, warming themselves by the fire and chatting casually.
As they chatted that day, they couldn't help but talk about one of Gu Chen's purposes for coming to Mondstadt this time.
"Honorary Grand Commander...
To be honest, I didn't expect Mond to actually grant me this kind of position.
Although there is the prefix of "honor", he is still the captain after all.
If you really want to count, isn't Captain Qin's status lower than mine?"
Following Gu Chen's slightly self-deprecating words, Youla crossed her arms and nodded seriously:
"Qin is only the acting leader, and you will soon become the honorary leader.
One is the group leader and the other is the senior group leader. It is obvious at a glance who is higher!
Humph, now there's finally someone who can cure the daughter of the Gunhild family!"
It took Paimon a second to realize that the daughter of the Gunhild family that Eula was talking about was Jean.
Looking at the slightly happy Eula, Paimon couldn't help but raise his head in question:
"Eula, what are you so happy about?
Could it be that... you and Captain Qin have a bad relationship?"
"Me and Jean?"
When mentioning this, Eula pretended to be arrogant:
“My relationship with her was certainly not good.
She is the daughter of the Gunhild family, and I am the daughter of the Lawrence family.
There has always been some feud between our two families, so of course the relationship between us won’t be good!
Jean is also one of my enemies. I will take revenge on her sooner or later! Just like I will take revenge on the entire Knights!"
Paimeng shook his head with a frown on his face.
"You keep talking about revenge, but I don't think you've taken any concrete action.
I understand. This is typical of you saying things you don't mean.
He clearly has a very good relationship with Captain Jean and is clearly very comfortable in the Knights Templar, but he is too embarrassed to admit it and even pretends to be petty and vengeful.
"Ah...Eula, you are such a tsundere!"
"What tsundere!?"
Eula was angry and reached out to grab Paimon.
Paimeng was prepared. Stardust flew across his body and he quickly hid behind Gu Chen.
When she hid behind Gu Chen, she stuck her head out and made a naughty face at Youla.
Eula became even angrier. When had she ever been bullied by such a little guy?
Therefore, she looked at Gu Chen with dissatisfaction.
The look was very clear.
You are Paimon's partner and guardian. She has offended me, and you are responsible!
Looking at the angry Eula, Gu Chen suddenly said:
"Oh, Paimon offended you, so just remember this grudge.
Be sure to write this down in your little notebook, don’t forget.”
Eula was stunned.
I...my catchphrase...was actually interrupted by this guy!
But... damn it!
Eula was so angry that her face turned red. She didn't even want to say her usual catchphrase:
"You actually... you actually disrespect me like this! This grudge...
I'm so angry! I never thought that a dignified Holy Light Knight, who is about to become the Honorary Grand Master, would be such a person! I have finally seen through him!"
Gu Chen smiled, his face full of interest:
"What do you mean by such a person? What's wrong with me?
Besides, what Paimon said is not wrong. It’s just that you, Eula, are not being sincere.
Obviously, you have a very good relationship with Jean, and the fact that you were able to become a titled knight and the captain of a guerrilla squad was largely due to Jean's recommendation.
I believe you are grateful to her in your heart, but you have to act so hostile, it looks tiring."
With her hands on her hips, Eula's aura was a little weak:
"gratitude?
I won't be grateful to her!
Uh... well, at most it's just thanks, I still have some gratitude towards her!
Not enough, but this doesn't stop me from taking revenge on Qin sooner or later. After all, I am a sinner who is obsessed with revenge."
Hearing Eula's insincere words again, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter again.
Everyone understands Eula's character and what kind of person she is, so no one takes Eula's so-called revenge seriously.
However, when Gu Chen heard Youla call herself a sinner, he felt a little touched and uncomfortable.
Taking the hot tea Rosaline brewed for him, Gu Chen took a sip calmly, then looked at Youla and spoke gently and warmly:
"Eula.
I'm about to become the honorary grand commander, and I can barely be considered your superior. I have some right to ask about some matters.
You…just called yourself a sinner.
I've also heard about your situation in Mondstadt.
You...your family has such character.
Eula, don't you have any plans or ideas? Don't you want to improve your situation? "
Hearing Gu Chen's serious tone, Eula no longer had the playful look she had before.
Holding the hot tea in her hand, she looked at the dancing bonfire in front of her, her expression calm.
However, in this silence, there was a hint of sadness that she herself was not aware of.
Suddenly, Eula laughed at herself:
“Thank you for your kindness.
As for my situation...I don't think it can get any better.
The image of the Lawrence family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Mond, but most of the Lawrence family members refuse to change their ways and continue to tarnish people's impression of them.
Even if I wanted to improve, I was powerless.”
As she said this, Eula felt a deep sense of exhaustion in her heart.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen said:
“It is said that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one’s nature.
I know something about your family's situation, and I never thought that a family could be so rotten from beginning to end from ancient times to the present, so I have no intention of saving your entire family.
Eula, I value you as a person.
What I would like to suggest is not your family's situation, but your personal situation.
Don’t you have similar thoughts?”
"My personal situation..."
After thinking about it, the smile on Eula's face was a little far-fetched:
"forget it.
As long as people have that impression of the Lawrence family, my situation will not improve.
Because I am the daughter of the Lawrence family. I cannot be separated from my family, and... I don't want to be separated!
No matter what, they are the family that gave birth to me and raised me."
When Eula said these last words, her tone was very serious and she was obviously in a very bad mood.
Looking at Eula like this, Gu Chen fell into thought.
How to say this?
It's very difficult to do.
Eula is undoubtedly a good person, and her reputation and situation in Mondstadt should not be like this.
The reason her reputation and situation had become what they were, besides the fact that most Mondstadt citizens had always viewed her with tinted glasses, was also very important...
The Lawrence family is really not that good!
Gu Chen's evaluation just now that it was rotten from the beginning to the end and has been rotten since ancient times is not really an exaggeration.
The entire Lawrence family has basically nothing to show for it, and has basically become a burden to Eula.
If Eula had the determination to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice and completely cut off ties with her family, her situation and circumstances would definitely be greatly improved!
