I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

"Ah."

"what?"

Qianyan Bing looked up blankly, but Lord Yuheng didn't move at all, and his back was still the one that he dared not look directly at.

"Is there anything else?" Keqing asked, taking a sip of tea.

This maid named Noelle has really good skills.

"Something else?"

Qianyanbing was confused, as the development of the situation was a little beyond his expectations.

Why wasn't Master Yuheng angry? Instead, he looked calm?

This, this is wrong!

Oh, right! I remember now!

Qianyanbing suddenly remembered something, that is, Lord Yuheng caught a cold after being caught in a thunderstorm.

Now it seems that it was Lord Yuheng's unconsciousness after catching a cold that saved his life.

"Other things, uh, several people in the team are in good health, and except for a few pieces of porcelain that are damaged, most of the cargo are intact." Qianyanbing said while thanking his good luck.

"How's the paperwork?" Keqing asked.

After thinking for a moment, Qianyan Bing immediately replied, "Don't worry, sir. The documents and silk were wrapped together in the waterproof cloth and are both intact."

"Well done." Keqing nodded slightly.

well done?

He lost the engagement, but Lord Yuheng actually praised him for doing a good job?

"Remember to close the door when you go out."

This means that he should step down.

"Uh...Okay, okay."

In a daze, Qianyanbing got up and walked to the door.

"Um... Sir, you should also rest early."

After writing two lines at the desk, Keqing put down her pen and looked out the window at the brightly lit Mondstadt Street.

She had expected the engagement to be lost.

Otherwise, would the Knights of Favonius have worked together to stage such a big drama just to show off their acting skills?

But just like what Keqing said to Lisa before, this incident will not affect the new treaty.

It is also impossible for them to use their engagement as a bargaining chip to force Liyue to make concessions.

When Captain Qin returns, Keqing will tell him everything.

There was no need to exaggerate anything. With Qin's character, there was no need to doubt it after she told her about it.

Punishing these mischievous subordinates by returning the marriage certificate and apologizing, all in one go without any sophistry.

Honesty and humility are just two of the many virtues of the knight. Not to mention that Jean had known about her breaking off the engagement, and it wasn't even Keqing who first brought it up.

So, just let them keep it for a while.

“These Mond people…” Keqing shook her head.

Mingming Qin is a very normal person, but these subordinates are so unreliable.

"Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door, and Noelle appeared in front of Keqing holding a stack of papers.

After staggering a little to the side of the table and placing the pile of papers on the floor, Noelle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, luckily there's no wind."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lady Keqing and found that Lady Keqing looked a little surprised for some reason.

"Lady Keqing...are you feeling unwell?"

……

……

The next day, the orange morning light shone into the room through the glass window.

A black and white kitten jumped to the window and looked through the glass at a purple-haired girl in the room.

Suddenly, the curious kitten's eyes were filled with curiosity. It stretched out its front paws and scratched the window, as if it wanted to pull the girl's hair.

"Meow~meow~"

A few cat calls and a burst of shrill noise made Keqing open her eyes. She propped herself up and looked out the window with squinting eyes.

Why is there a cat?

Just when Keqing was still in the daze after just waking up.

There was a knock on the door.

"Is Lady Keqing awake? Then I'll come in."

Noelle walked into the room and saw Lady Keqing staring blankly at the cat on the window with her hair messy.

Noelle was also surprised because her temperament was completely different from last night.

"I went to bed a little late last night, sorry." Keqing said, rubbing her forehead to wake herself up.

Shaking his head, Noelle placed the tray in his hand on the table. “Your Excellency must have traveled a long way, and the Knights have all been so tired… I feel ashamed and sorry for not entertaining you properly.”

Under the gaze of Chenxi, the cat, and the maid, Keqing pulled her braids behind her shoulders, put on her coat, then sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out her smooth white left leg, and put on her socks.

Noel, who was standing by, saw Keqing and turned his head away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Because now Lady Keqing is wearing only a pair of shorts on her lower body, but thinking of Lady Lisa's instructions to serve Lady Keqing well.

Noelle also took the initiative to come to Keqing's side, picked up the hair accessories on the bedside table and said, "Come down and help the master comb his hair."

"Uh, okay."

Keqing was ready to refuse, but when she thought about the maid's dedicated attitude last night, she felt a little reluctant.

She combed her hair back and tied it into two braids, but suddenly Noelle felt confused.

Because she found that something was missing from Lady Keqing's head, and recalled how Lady Keqing looked yesterday.

Noelle looked flustered.

"what!"

"what happened?"

"Master Keqing, your ears are gone!"

"..."

Three minutes later.

After Keqing tied her hair, she put down the wooden comb, walked to the window, opened it, and reached out to drive away the kitten that had been watching the show.

When I turned around, I saw Noelle with his head down, his hands on his abdomen, standing in the corner motionless as if he was being punished.

Ugh.

"It's nothing, don't take it to heart." Keqing said comfortingly.

Noelle raised her head slightly and asked softly, "Are you not angry?"

"Do you think I look like a wind slime? I'm full of anger." Keqing was speechless.

This joke also made Noelle feel relieved.

While Keqing was eating the breakfast she brought, Noelle kept looking at Keqing's hair.

Noticing the maid's gaze, Keqing felt that she needed to explain.

"Those are not cat ears, they are pigtails."

“Zong, Zongjiao?” It was the first time Noelle heard this word.

"It's a traditional hairstyle of Liyue. My mother always tied it like this for me when I was a child, so I still use it now."

It turns out that Lady Keqing is also a pragmatist, which is quite similar to Captain Jean.

"Did you do all this yourself?"

Noelle nodded. "Maybe it's not to the adults' taste."

Of course, this is not the case at all. No matter where you are from, you will find delicious food delicious.

"Meow~"

At this time, another cat's meow was heard outside the window.

And this time there is not just one black and white cat, there is also an orange cat and a black cat.

"Is it popular to keep cats in Mondstadt recently?" Keqing asked a little puzzled.

"It's probably because of the pub next door." Noel said.

"Tavern?"

"Well, it's a themed tavern called Cat's Tail. The proprietress has many cats, including a very special cat. If Lady Keqing is interested, I can take you to have a look."

Noelle looked apologetic and said, "But because of my age, I may have to wait outside."

Keqing shook her head. She was not a wine lover and had no interest in any special cats.

No matter how special you are, can you still speak?

"I have to go out later." Keqing said after wiping the corner of her mouth with a white napkin.

"Okay." Noelle nodded, then asked curiously, "Sir, can you tell me where you are going?"

"The ruins of the wind dragon."

Section 9 9. Danger

"My lord, I am very sorry. The Wind Dragon Ruins are now in a restricted area. Without your permission... I cannot let you have the horse."

At a stable near the gate of Mondstadt, a Knight of Favonius who was in charge of the stable said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Keqing, who came out of the hotel and walked all the way to the city gate, just found out that the Wind Dragon Ruins were under control.

"Even I can't do it?" Keqing asked again, emphasizing the word "I".

The Knight of West Wind was in a more difficult situation: "I know you are Lord Yuheng, but even if I give you a horse, you will be stopped when you reach the ruins."

Even after revealing her identity, she couldn't borrow a horse. Unexpectedly, Keqing's first setback in Mondstadt would be here.

"This is an order from Captain Jean herself." Seeing that Keqing had not given up, the Knight of Favonius explained again, "Until she has finished investigating the cause of the monsters' unusual movements, no unrelated personnel are allowed to approach the ruins."

Obviously, this order was to protect the people of Mond, and it was indeed Jyn's style of doing things.

"I understand." Keqing nodded.

The Knight of Favonius also felt relieved, but Keqing's words the next second left him at a loss for words.

"Then I just need to go and get the permission, right?" Keqing looked at the knight.

"This……"

After leaving the city gate, Keqing walked towards the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

Just like what the Knight of Favonius said just now, no unauthorized persons are allowed to enter the Wind Dragon Ruins.

So a reason is needed to get permission, and that reason is: drafting a new treaty requires Keqing to personally investigate the Wind Dragon Ruins.

"Lady Keqing, are you worried about Captain Qin?" the maid who had been following behind Keqing asked softly.

They were going to such a dangerous place the second day after arriving in Mondstadt. When Keqing told them the destination, Noel wanted to dissuade them.

But Keqing's attitude was very firm and she had no choice.
