Chapter 10
[Amber's Chapter]
[Anders died. Jean learned the cause of Anders' death from the Knights of Favonius. To protect Amber's reputation, she ordered all the Knights present that day to keep silent.]
[Jean publicly announced that Anders had died protecting Mondstadt. She also removed Amber from the stigma of being a traitor's widow.]
Jean, you're a good person! Thank you!
[On the day of Anders' funeral, only Jean from the Knights of Favonius attended. The scene was very somber.]
[Amber looked at Anders' tombstone and spoke calmly, "Before Anders left, he told me that I was his hope and salvation. What he didn't know was that he was also my salvation.]
[When my grandfather left without a word, it hit me hard. At that time, I didn't like Mondstadt at all. Everyone mocked me. Even though my grandfather had worked so hard as a Scout Knight to protect everyone, why couldn't they see that?]
[I was actually planning to leave Mondstadt and live in another city.]
[But then, on my way out, I met Anders."]
[At this point, Amber's lips curled into a gentle smile. "He made me rediscover my love for life. I wanted to become a Knight of Favonius because I wanted to protect the people I love. But now, he's gone."]
["Being a Knight of Favonius means nothing to me anymore. I don't need this identity. As of today, I'm officially resigning from the Knights of Favonius."]
["If you quit the Knights, how will you make a living?"]
[Amber gently touched her belly. "I don't believe that someone as kind as Anders would bring Hilichurls to attack Mondstadt. I want to clear his name."]
[Seeing Jean's worried expression, Amber smiled. "Don't worry. I'll live well, carrying his love with me."]
[Amber's Chapter ends.]
After reading this, Kael felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Amber was truly a good girl.
Even without any evidence, she was willing to believe in him unconditionally.
He hoped the child in her womb would bring her some comfort.
[Little Hilichurl's Chapter]
[Somewhere in the wilderness outside Mondstadt, a Hilichurl camp had recently taken in two very strange Hilichurls.]
[One was an older female Hilichurl, and the other was a young male Hilichurl.]
[They were incredibly strong, so the camp quickly accepted them.]
[But strangely, these two Hilichurls never attacked humans.]
[Whenever a merchant caravan passed by, the other Hilichurls would rush out to loot and kill.]
[But these two would just stay put, unmoved.]
[Sometimes, they would even secretly release the humans captured in the camp.]
[After this happened a few times, the other Hilichurls no longer welcomed them. They banded together and drove the two odd Hilichurls away.]
[Now, they wander, searching for another camp that will take them in…]
Kael sighed.
Ah, the foster mother Hilichurl and the little Hilichurl must have been reminded of him whenever they saw humans.
Hilichurls and humans are naturally opposed, so their kindness toward humans wasn't a good thing.
Their current lives were bought with his own life.
He hoped they could live a little longer.
[The rating for this life simulation has been calculated.]
[Cause of death: Stabbed to death by Diluc.]
[Evaluation: You and Amber are the Romeo and Juliet of Teyvat. Your love moved the people of Mondstadt. Achievements unlocked: Bridge Between Hilichurls and Humans, Posthumous Child, One Night of Passion, Traitor of Mondstadt, etc…]
[Overall Rating: S-tier]
[Reward 1: You can choose one of the following talents to permanently bind to yourself: 'Respected,' 'Kind-hearted,' or 'Born with Great Strength.']
All three talents were useful, but leadership and charisma weren't as important to him right now.
Without a doubt, he chose…
"I'll take 'Born with Great Strength.'"
[Reward has been distributed. Host has obtained 'Born with Great Strength.' The possessor will gain Herculean strength. Lifting a mountain will be no problem for you.]
After the reward was distributed, Kael's muscles suddenly bulged. His once somewhat skinny frame became incredibly muscular.
His appearance now matched exactly how he looked in the first life simulation.
