The cruel decision made Yura unable to react for a moment.

She froze on the spot, her brain seemed to be stuck and she couldn't turn around.

After a while, a look of surprise climbed up the corners of her gorgeous mouth, overflowing through her eyes as pure as agate.

"ha?"

Seeing this, Qin's face also looked a little at a loss.

But she also had a reason for doing this.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. After you handle this matter, the Knights can revoke the territorial punishment imposed on the Lawrence family thousands of years ago and restore the Lawrence family's right to operate their territory independently."

The knight leader spoke his thoughts to Yula in front of him.

"For the outside world, we can announce that it was you who caught Schubert committing treason, so that punishment and reward go hand in hand. What do you think?"

Perhaps this incident was too impactful, and even Yora, who was always quick to respond, was a little unable to accept it. It took a while after Qin finished speaking before she recovered.

"What is this and what? My uncle made a mistake. I have no objection to the Knights handling it according to the law. If the leader wants me to be the executioner, I will consider it, but why will the Lawrence family be given extra compensation?"

?”

If the first two can be said to be business affairs, then the last decision obviously contained Qin's selfishness.

This was also the most difficult thing for Youla to accept. She could still convince herself that she was doing things impartially, but if her personal interests were mixed in, wouldn't it mean that she was using her uncle's life in exchange for reward? It would be better not to do it at all.

It was natural for Qin to understand such a violent reaction from Youla, as she knew very well what kind of person Youla was.

But for this matter, she had both public and private reasons for doing this.

"Yura, please don't get excited yet."

Seeing Youla's fierce reaction, Qin quickly stood up and comforted the female knight in front of her with both hands.

After a while, after her mood stabilized, she slowly spoke.

"Now Mondstadt has been attacked by a demonic wave that has not been seen in hundreds of years, causing heavy casualties. If we don't appease the people quickly, the city will fall into a period of chaos again. The employment of people and the atmosphere of life will be affected in a short time.

It's taking a huge toll on people's lives."

"So we now need a distraction to let people vent their emotions and divert their energy to other events. In this way, the residents in the city can return to their previous life order in the shortest possible time."

At this point, even if Qin didn't continue to point out her plan, Eura understood her intention.

"You are using the Lawrence family to divert attention."

After figuring out the key points, Yora suddenly felt powerless.

She bit her lip and just stood there blankly.

In response, Qin could only stand in front of the window and remain silent.

Indeed, in the entire incident, the Abyss Cult was definitely the main culprit, but as enemies, they could not be on the punished side from the beginning, and the only betrayer with real evidence was Schubert.

As for the fools who left first, I can only say that they were like slippery loaches, leaving no chance for investigation.

For public purposes, public execution of Schubert can enhance the cohesion of Mondstadt citizens, calm down the emotions of the victim's family, reduce the burden on the Knights, and even on the premise that Yura goes to carry out the execution, it can further increase the discussion and completely drain the energy of the residents.

Lead elsewhere.

Privately, having Yura as the executioner can completely separate her from the family, at least allow the citizens to further strengthen the personal impression of this female knight, and help her family tide over the difficulties by lifting the punishment from thousands of years ago.

But no matter how you say it, letting Youra cut off her uncle's head with her own hands is an act of unfilial piety from any point of view.

But if she rejects the Knights' decision, it would be disloyal.

She always has to make a choice between being unfaithful and unfilial.

A trace of embarrassment crept onto her cheeks. Making a decision was definitely not an easy task.

"Yora, you can think of this as a request from me, the leader of the knights, Jean Gunnhild."

In order to make Yula feel at ease, Qin decided to use her private identity to take on this responsibility.

"Oh well."

After dozens of inner disputes, Yora finally accepted Qin's proposal.

This is for the family, for Mondstadt, and for the Knights.

But only not for herself.

Looking at the back of the female knight who walked out of the knight's gate, Qin sighed deeply.

Sometimes she really doesn't want to think about things this way, but as the leader of the Knights of Mondstadt, sometimes she can't help it.

——————

"The prisoner Schubert Lawrence provided intelligence to the enemy during the demonic attack a few days ago, causing heavy casualties in the city. After review by the Knights, the prisoner Schubert committed the crime of collaboration with the enemy and treason, and should be punished by beheading.

The punishment is hereby announced to the citizens of Mondstadt."

The next day, a dense crowd gathered around the square of the Fengshen Statue.

Those people in Mondstadt who had lost relatives and friends here stared at him fiercely as if they wanted to devour Schubert who was kneeling on the ground.

But now that the Knights have pronounced their verdict, they don't mind letting the Knights help them vent their anger.

But when the executioner stepped onto the stage, the crowd suddenly became commotion.

"Hey, look, that's not..."

The people below were all surprised when they saw Eura holding a big sword and walking up to Schubert who was kneeling on the ground.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to be you. What kind of wind did they blow to make you come over and take action?"

At this time, Schubert didn't mind having a good chat with his disobedient niece.

It's just that Yora was unwilling to tell him about her inner struggles, and only told him about the Knights' verdict against the family. She knew that the man in front of her was the one who was most willing to hear this answer.

"The Knights have decided to revoke the punishment imposed on the Lawrence family's territory thousands of years ago."

But the decision coming from the mouth of the female knight surprised Schubert.

"I didn't expect those idiots from the Knights to make such a decision. It's really... surprising."

Schubert lowered his head, making it unclear what his expression was.

However, the Knight of the West Wind, who was exercising supervisory authority on the side, did not have the leisure to bother with the prisoner's thoughts.

His friend also followed the demonic tide and died in this square. If the head of the knights had not personally ordered Yula to execute the death penalty, he would definitely have applied to execute it himself, and then violently used the long sword in his hand.

The sword cuts off the opponent's head to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"The time has come for execution!"

In fact, with the trembling sound, the emotions of the onlookers gradually became more excited.

They want to see the culprit brought to justice and their enemies die in front of them, so that they can comfort their dead relatives.

The female knight with short aqua hair stood beside the prisoner, raising her sword high, and the eye of god beside her flashed with blue light.

"farewell."

Goodbye uncle, and my cowardice.

The big sword rolled down the ice dust and was swung down hard. In an instant, Schubert's body was in another place.

The flowing blood was condensed into blood-colored frost by the cold force, and was frozen in his body.

"good!!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience gave thunderous cheers, and everyone clapped their hands in applause.

It was as if he had executed the prisoner with his own hands, it was extremely satisfying.

But not far from the lively crowd, a man wearing an eyepatch stared coldly at everything in front of him.

The criminal has been brought to justice, but will the reputation of the Lawrence family change? Will Yora break away from people's prejudices?

Maybe not.

But this may blow the breeze of change.

It’s just that no one knows where this breeze will lead Mondstadt. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still, the fastest update speed on the Internet.
