"Is that Acting Grand Master Jean?"
The church plaza wasn't far.
Soon, Kai led Lumine and Paimon to the location.
Looking at the graceful figure not far away.
Little Paimon floated in mid-air, her voice sounding a bit puzzled.
"But… who is that person next to her?"
At this moment, directly opposite Jean.
A woman in a black and purple uniform appeared to be engaging in a friendly conversation with her.
She wore an unknown mask, concealing her true face.
"But her figure is indeed very good."
Kai propped his chin, muttering to himself with an appreciative gaze.
Noticing Lumine and Paimon instinctively stepping back in unison beside him.
He quickly added another sentence.
"Ah, I meant my wife."
"As for that woman, she should be a Snezhnayan diplomat, right?"
"A Snezhnayan diplomat… are they those guys called the Fatui?"
Hearing the name, little Paimon stroked her chin, thinking.
She suddenly recalled this identity.
"That's right, it's them."
Kai nodded in response, gazing at the distance.
The conversation didn't seem to be going very well.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Eh… although I know about the Fatui."
"But all I've heard about them outside are bad reputations."
Seeing Lumine, who clearly didn't understand much.
Paimon scratched her head, helping to explain from the side.
"The Fatui are one of Snezhnaya's diplomatic organizations."
"It is said that they only obey the orders of the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya… also known as the Cryo Archon, and their conduct on the continent is known for being strong and overbearing."
"But why would a Fatui diplomat come to Mondstadt?"
"Because Mondstadt is also an allied nation of Snezhnaya, and as for the purpose of their visit this time… it's probably because of Stormterror."
Kai replied calmly.
Looking at Jean, whose expression was gradually turning angry, he suddenly spoke.
"Anyway, you can as Jean about the specifics later; I'll go over first."
"Eh… Master Kai?"
After speaking, he ignored Paimon beside him.
Kai walked directly towards the other party.
Meanwhile, the conversation between Acting Grand Master Jean and the Fatui.
Had evidently reached the brink of collapse.
"You mean the Fatui want to eliminate one of Mondstadt's Four Winds?"
Staring at the woman named Anastasia before her.
Acting Grand Master Jean appeared extremely indignant, feeling as if she had been insulted in some way.
"To speak such madness in front of a Knights of Favonius? I hope your nation's diplomat can adopt a more professional attitude, or does this represent the intentions of your Fatui?"
"Oh… hahahaha, more or less."
Anastasia covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
She felt no pressure whatsoever in the face of Acting Grand Master Jean's anger.
"Perhaps it's true that he was once one of the Four Winds, but now he's just a mad beast."
"Mondstadt's dragon disaster can be controlled. If the Knights of Favonius truly can't handle it, then quickly hand over the city defenses to us."
"A mere dragon disaster, we, the Fatui…"
"Excuse me, I apologize for interrupting everyone."
Just as Anastasia revealed a cold smile and began to exert pressure.
Not far away, a slightly questioning voice suddenly rang out.
This immediately made her instinctively look over in the direction of the sound.
And then… what met her eyes was Kai's leisurely approaching figure.
She seemed not to have expected to see Kai here.
Jean, who was completely defenseless under the relentless pressure from the Fatui diplomat, couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
"Who is this?"
The Diplomat's gaze was somewhat solemn.
For some reason, she felt that this seemingly ordinary young man...
was a little off.
"Just an ordinary Citizen of Mondstadt."
"I heard someone wanted to deal with our Four Winds, so I took the liberty of interrupting your conversation... So, Acting Grand Master Jean, is this the Fatui diplomat?"
Although Kai's sudden appearance did surprise Jean.
Seeing her weak side in diplomatic matters by her husband even made her blush a little.
However, at a time like this, as a wife who had lived together for many years...
Jean almost instinctively cooperated.
"Yes, this is the Fatui's Diplomat."
"Diplomat."
"This is..."
"An ordinary Citizen of Mondstadt."
Master Kai completed the rest of the sentence with a faint smile.
Before engaging in diplomatic activities, the Fatui naturally conducted intelligence gathering.
But unfortunately, because the diplomat who was originally dispatched to Mondstadt accidentally encountered a mysterious person and was beaten late at night...
Using the pretext of protecting the envoy's safety...
the then Grand Master Varka personally led a team to raid the Fatui strongholds within Mondstadt.
He even led more than half of the elite Knights of Favonius.
And respectfully escorted all Fatui members out of the country.
It can be said that, perhaps through certain channels...
the Fatui might have already grasped the fact that Jean was married.
As for who the spouse was, with their current intelligence gathering capabilities...
it would indeed be difficult to obtain that information.
"An ordinary citizen?"
Staring at the seemingly young figure before her...
Diplomat obviously didn't associate Master Kai with that aspect.
She sneered and said, "This is a diplomatic-level conversation. Ordinary citizens are not qualified to speak with me."
"No, I think there is a qualification."
Master Kai responded unhurriedly.
"Mondstadt is different from Snezhnaya. Everyone here has the right to decide the future of Mondstadt."
"Since that's the case, diplomatic conversations of this level are naturally also qualified to participate in and express opinions."
"As for you, Diplomat..."
Master Kai subconsciously stood in front of Jean.
Looking at the woman before him, he quietly spoke.
"I wonder if those words you just said..."
"Represent you personally, or... the Fatui?"
"What?"
Anastasia was stunned, seemingly not expecting to hear that question.
"If the opinion to deal with the Four Winds is an official diplomatic declaration made by Diplomat on behalf of Snezhnaya..."
"Then Acting Grand Master Jean will naturally record this matter carefully and report it to all the Knights of Favonius and the Church, for formal discussion in an official capacity."
"As for the outcome, we will convey it to your country's diplomatic mission in the name of all of Mondstadt later."
"I... No, this..."
Anastasia opened her mouth.
Looking at the young man before her, she suddenly felt her thoughts stall.
"Of course, if Diplomat said those words in a personal capacity, then Acting Grand Master Jean would not need to record the contents of this meeting."
"After all, judging by the scene, this seems to be merely a simple private meeting."
"That's right, it's just a private meeting."
The Snezhnaya Fatui have always been strong in diplomacy.
But the problem was that a mere Diplomat clearly did not have the authority to represent the Fatui's diplomatic opinions.
Hearing Master Kai say this, Anastasia almost subconsciously nodded.
Her head was feeling a bit dizzy.
"Personal capacity."
Master Kai said coldly, taking a step forward.
Feeling the sudden, explosive surge of powerful aura...
Anastasia involuntarily retreated, her lips turning a little pale.
"The Four Winds are the symbol of our Mondstadt."
"If what you just said, Anastasia, as a Snezhnaya diplomat, was a personal declaration, then can I interpret it as your personal provocation against all of Mondstadt?"
"If that's the case, according to our Mondstadt law... you might need to go to the Knights of Favonius and have a good chat with the inspection Knights there."
"Or..."
Master Kai stopped.
Looking at her with an icy expression, he slowly spoke.
"Apologize for your offense against the Four Winds!"
