Chapter 68 Settling in Mondstadt

[Time flies. Half a month has passed since you were kidnapped by Jean. At this time, the two of you have already arrived in the suburbs of Mondstadt. It is estimated that you will arrive in Mondstadt in the next two days.]

[Although Rosaria and Baoer tried their best to catch up, they were still far behind Jean. There was nothing they could do. They were not familiar with Mondstadt, and Jean had the Wings of Wind, so it was easy for her to leave Rosaria and Baoer behind.]

["We are very close to Mondstadt. Have a good rest tonight and try to get there tomorrow." Jean handed you some roasted wild boar meat, and you ate it in small bites.]

[After half a month, you already know that you definitely can't escape from Jean's hands, so you have become much more obedient.]

[During this half-month journey, whenever you tried to escape, Jean would "use her hands and words" to make you feel weak all over, and then forcibly take you away. As the number of times increased, Jean has become more and more bold recently...]

[After a quick dinner, you lay down in the tent to rest, while Jean patrolled around and set up early warning traps before returning to the tent to rest.]

[Jean lies down beside you and holds you in her arms. At first, this action was simply because she didn't want you to run away, but now…]

[Smelling the faint body fragrance coming from you, Jean felt that her mood seemed to be more peaceful than ever before.]

I feel like... I can't leave it anymore.

[Jean picked up the ends of your purple hair and put them to her nose to smell it.]

["Tomorrow's journey will be long, so you should get a good rest tonight."]

["Um..."]

[You are now feeling conflicted about Jean. On the one hand, you still remember the bad things she did to you when you were a child. On the other hand, you feel very comfortable with her meticulous care for you in the past half month... and after half a month of physical intimacy, you have some unclear feelings for Jean.]

[With such conflicting feelings, you soon fell asleep in Jean's arms.]

[Nothing happened that night. The next day you woke up early and after a day of traveling, you finally entered Mondstadt, the city you had been away from for six years.]

[Even after six years, there has been no significant change in Mondstadt. The familiar scene reminds you of the dead old thief, and you subconsciously hold Jean's hand.]

[Jean was stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she also held your hand in return.]

[Jean originally wanted to take you back to Gunhildr's house, but when passing by the Goethe Hotel, she unexpectedly discovered that the Fatui executive "Doctor" was also there, so Jean brought you to the Doctor.]

["Doctor, I think this is what you are looking for." Jean handed the three jewels to the doctor.]

["That's right, Captain Jean, this is indeed the item I'm looking for. As expected of the eldest daughter of the Gunhildr family, you are much more efficient than the average Knight of Favonius. Also, this is…" The doctor is a man with light blue curly hair and a strange black and white mask on his face. After praising Jean, he looked at you with a puzzled look.]

["This is the girl I saved on my way back." Jean wordlessly protected you behind her.]

["Haha, so that's how it is. Vice Captain Jean should have just returned to Mondstadt, so I won't bother you anymore. Vice Captain Jean should go back and rest early."]

["Well, let's leave now." Jean held your hand and left the Goethe Hotel. However, what neither you nor Jean noticed was that the doctor was staring at your back with a strange light flashing in his eyes...]

["Counselor Anastasia, please send someone to deliver this delusion to Crepus Ragnvindr at the Dawn Winery." The doctor returned to the Goethe Hotel and handed the Delusion to Anastasia.]

["Eh? But the deal we made with Crepus wasn't for this inferior Delusion, right?"]

["Don't worry about that. Just do as I say." Hearing this, the doctor frowned and looked at Anastasia with some dissatisfaction.]

["Yes!" Anastasia had no idea that she had walked through the gates of hell, but with her excellent manners, she responded immediately, then took the Delusion from the doctor and left.]

["Hmph, what do you know?" After Anastasia left, the doctor muttered to himself, "The superior Delusion should be used by excellent carriers. Now that a better carrier has appeared, Crepus is no longer useful."]

[You have no idea that you have been targeted by the doctor. You are looking at Frederica, who is crying in her arms and you don't know what to do.]
