Lawrence

They were once the most honored nobles in Mondstadt, praised and respected by everyone. Their ancestors once fought beside the wind god Barbatos, and resisted the lonely king who once bound Mondstadt in a high tower.

Glory should always be with them.

However, with the passage of time, the nobles who were once willing to work hard for Mond have bred endless termites. They personally threw the glory of their ancestors to the ground, stepped on the polluted glory with their bright and beautiful boots, and became the rulers of Mond in the era when the God of Wind did not appear.

During the period later known as the Age of Aristocracy, the crimes committed by the Lawrence family and its vassal nobles were too numerous to list. They oppressed the people of Mond day and night and vented their desires and evil thoughts without restraint.

Finally, after a contract in which Mondstadt nobles sold their land to Liyue ignited the anger of the people, foreigners from other countries, with the help of others, successfully overthrew the nobles of Mondstadt and established today's official Mondstadt organization - the Knights of Favonius.

Most of the Lawrence family were exiled to Mondstadt by the Knights, and were never allowed to return home. However, a small number of them still stayed in Mondstadt to continue the reputation of the Lawrence family...

That's how it should be.

In the process of resisting the nobles, many Lawrence members sacrificed their own relatives for the sake of justice, contributed to the establishment of the Knights Templar, and made great contributions.

All the Lawrence people who were able to stay were related to it and had the idea of ​​atonement for Mond.

Unfortunately, under the influence of time, the Lawrence family seemed to change their minds too easily. After only a few generations, they went from being the descendants of the heroes who founded the Knights Templar to the remnants of the old Mondstadt.

Remnants, remnants... What kind of remnants are those who don’t want to replicate the previous dynasty!

The Lawrence family also has such ambitions. They want to return to their former aristocratic era. They want to regain the right to decide the life and death of others. They want to climb back to the top of Mond, step by step!

Ambition drove the Lawrence family to act, and good luck seemed to be favoring them. After hundreds of years, they finally found a sponsor who was very much in line with the Lawrence family's wishes.

Ichiro Matsuseida squatted in the dense grass, looking at the little girl in the dim alley, with a slight smile on his lips, squeezing the wrinkles on his face.

"good……"

He whispered:

"The Shogun will definitely be very satisfied with this child, and the Three Magistrates will also be very satisfied. The reforms of the shogunate by the Gonpa-sama in recent years have gone too far, and many positions that should have been hereditary have been given up. Due to the Shogun, no one dares to raise any opinions..."

"They are really looking forward to a noble being able to motivate the chief priest. Even if this noble is not Inazuma's."

"But they should be more satisfied this way. The Lawrence family will not affect Inazuma's interests. They will give them some resources, but..."

Turning his head and looking at Schubert Lawrence who was picking grass leaves from his collar with a look of disgust, Matsuseida Ichiro chuckled: "Are you sure your niece won't betray the aristocracy? Just like the shrine magistrate, the Kamisato family is now vassal of the White Fox for two generations."

"Even if the hereditary positions of the shrine magistrates are taken away, what will happen? The Kamisato family, which should have continued to decline, has risen because of the White Star Fox Fairy. They will never rebel because of this, even if it means betraying the aristocracy."

A sneaky laugh suddenly rang out in the dark bushes. Matsuseida Ichiro's eyes seemed to flash with a wolf-like green light. He laughed and said, "But we are different. We did not benefit from Baichen Fox, but we lost our real interests because of his ideas. So we have to resist."

"We can't use tough measures. The general's eyes are always on Quan Gongsi. In this case, we have to use some soft measures. The general will not be angry because of sugar-coating."

"Hiding here is simply unworthy of the nobility."

The strange laughter made his body tremble involuntarily. Schubert, who already had a problem with the hiding place, said dissatisfiedly: "Your suspicion of the Lawrence family is even more contemptuous of the nobles' cultivation."

"Eula is not only my brother's child, but also the daughter of the Lawrence clan leader. She knows how to contribute to the family, and she will work hard for the Lawrence family to rise again."

"So confident..." Matsuseida Ichiro whispered, "Don't tell me you told her the plan?! Did you forget what I told you before? Baichen Fox is best at capturing the waves of emotions."

"Until the child is able to gain trust and control his emotions, we must not tell him anything about the plan."

"Of course I didn't tell you, but you have to know that everyone in the Lawrence family knows how to contribute to the family, even a baby of two or three years old."

"...I hope you can maintain your confidence, but what you should be more concerned about now is that the person you choose can become friends with Quan Gongsi as you wish."

"No one can refuse to be friends with an elegant noble, especially when this noble is from the Lawrence family. As long as the information you provided is correct and the stupid fox you mentioned likes making friends as you said, it's all good."

When did I ever say that Lord Quan Gongsi is a stupid fox?

Don't splatter your blood on me, you idiot!

Schubert's words were like thunder exploding in his ears, and Matsuseida Ichiro seemed to be able to sense several sinister eyes looking at Schubert.

Most likely, they are the members of the final group who have been following behind Lord Gon Gongsi, waiting for orders.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twitched self-deprecatingly, and Matsuseida Ichiro smiled gently: "If you want to defeat an enemy, understanding him is undoubtedly the most correct first step. We have completed the first step, and now we are about to complete the second step with you."

"But I have to say again that Quan Gongsi's way of making friends is a little beyond common sense, so don't make a fuss next time."

"Humph~ The cultivation required by the Lawrence family is stricter than those of ordinary nobles."

"hope so."

After another fairly friendly conversation, the dense grass fell silent, with only the call of the wind and the rustling of the grass leaves. Schubert stared intently at his niece, who held the key to the prosperity of the Lawrence family.

After waiting for a while, the target they were planning this time fell from the sky.

"A... child?"

Carrying two sacks on his shoulders, the samurai Sakurasai looked down at the little girl who was probably frightened and had no time to pay attention to the outside world. He looked around and called out to her in a low voice.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Is there anyone missing a child?"

Seeing that there was no response to his passionate calls, the attendant Yingzhai gently squatted down and patted the little girl's hair, whispering to comfort her:

"It doesn't matter. Whether you run away from home or are abandoned, there will always be someone who cares about you."

"Well……"

"Do you like pink or yellow?"

"No~"

"Pink isn't a good choice. It doesn't match your hair color. I remember you brought some sacks of other colors with you when you came out this time."

Pulling out a blue sack from his treasure-bag-like tail, the god of valor Sakurasai smiled brightly: "Come to think of it, this sack was once used by A-nin to trap me. I didn't expect it would come in handy again now."

"Be good~ don't struggle, we will be good friends from now on. Everyone knows that I, a fox, treat my friends best. Being my friend is an honor that countless people want..."

After neatly putting the little girl in front of him in a sack, the attendant Yingzhai laughed softly and said, "Of course, there are many people who think this is not an honor. I hope that when you sober up, you will not be the latter."

Carrying three sacks on his shoulders, the samurai Yingsai seemed to ignore them as he nimbly jumped onto the wall, climbed onto the roof, and ran along the route he had planned.

Ichiro Matsuseida watched the white fox leave.

“It was the best move.”

"This way of making friends is not noble at all! He is indeed a stupid fox from the countryside. How dare he treat the Lawrence family like this."

Schubert managed to keep his composure.

I thought it was some unceremonial way of making friends, but I didn't expect it to be a direct kidnapping.

It’s not so much about making friends…

"At least your niece didn't befriend him in a trap."
