Knights of Favonius Headquarters… Master Kai easily walked to the office.
He knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he walked straight in.
At this moment, in the entire office, only Jean was alone.
Her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something very difficult to solve.
She was clearly a bit out of sorts.
Discovering that she hadn't even noticed his appearance, Master Kai sighed helplessly, slowly walked behind her, and then reached out to gently massage his wife's shoulders.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Kai?"
The hand that suddenly appeared on her shoulder startled Jean.
She almost instinctively looked back, and when she saw Master Kai in front of her, she finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
"Why didn't you say anything? You scared me."
"I didn't expect you not to notice me coming in either."
"You even responded when I knocked on the door just now."
Master Kai showed a rather helpless smile.
He gently tapped Jean's head, signaling her to turn her head back.
Then he slowly began to gently knead her shoulders.
The incredibly gentle pressure gave Jean a uniquely distinct experience.
Feeling the extremely safe aura emanating from Master Kai's body, Jean briefly glanced outside the door and couldn't help but speak.
"Hmm…"
"Perhaps it's because I'm too familiar with Kai, so instinctively I didn't detect any sense of danger."
As the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Jean was naturally very perceptive when it came to her surroundings.
Generally speaking, if a Knight of Favonius came in to report news, even if she was deep in thought, she would be able to keenly detect and notice his movements.
This wasn't a result of training.
If one had to describe it, it was more like an instinct belonging to a Vision wielder.
They possessed an instinctive level of keen perception of their surroundings.
But the problem was… if the person was someone very familiar, then this instinct clearly wouldn't be of any use at all.
After all, for Jean, Master Kai was probably the least threatening person in this world, or rather, someone who couldn't possibly threaten her existence.
With 100% trust and reassurance, in the face of such thoughts, even if the other person appeared silently in front of her, Jean probably wouldn't feel anything while in a state of deep thought.
"I'm your husband~."
"It's only natural for me to make you feel this sense of security."
He gently pinched Jean's nose.
Jean laughed and casually asked,
"When I returned to Mondstadt just now, I heard from Swan and the others."
"The Goth Grand Hotel was attacked, and the Fatui also suffered heavy casualties?"
"Yes, I'm having a headache over this."
The news of the Goth Grand Hotel being attacked had spread completely by witnesses in the early morning.
Even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't.
"What's there to have a headache about?"
"The Fatui being attacked, isn't that a gratifying thing?"
Master Kai understood everything.
But at this moment, he needed to play the role of a passerby.
Therefore, even if he knew all this, he still had to put on a show.
Otherwise, once any flaw was discovered, he would be in trouble.
Although Jean would definitely be reluctant to throw him in prison, taking such a big risk to attack the Fatui without even a word, plus his previous actions while disguised, which often involved living on the edge, at least… from Jean's perspective, it should be like this.
Therefore, once his disguise was exposed, it wouldn't just be a matter of a few arguments.
She would probably be angry for several days.
No matter how much he coaxed her, she definitely wouldn't be appeased, right?
He might even have to endure a good scolding and lecture.
After all, if it were Jean who dared to do such a dangerous thing without saying anything and Master Kai found out, she would probably face a similar outcome.
"Although I also think so."
"But the location where they had the accident was, after all, in Mondstadt."
Facing her most trusted husband, Jean had no need to hide her disgust for the Fatui.
"Once Snezhnaya uses this as an excuse,"
"To hold Mondstadt accountable, or even directly launch a war,"
"Then we would truly be in danger."
As the Dandelion Knight, Jean was naturally very clear about how weak Mondstadt's current defenses were.
If Mondstadt were at its peak, it might still be able to barely withstand an attack from Snezhnaya.
But with its current state,
Forget about a large-scale war.
Even if Snezhnaya sent a few more Harbingers over,
Mondstadt's high-level combat forces might not be able to hold them off.
As the Acting Grand Master responsible for the entire city's safety, the burden on Jean's shoulders was immense.
"I see."
Pretending to have just realized, Kai nodded slightly, a look of considerable surprise on his face.
"As expected of my wife, your considerations are truly thorough."
"Or perhaps this is the unique perspective the Grand Master has when observing things?"
"Hmph, that's right… There's a lot I can see. So, if Kai ever dares to secretly check out other girls by the roadside, I'll be the first to notice."
Although she knew Kai was only saying nice things to comfort her,
Jean's mood suddenly became very good after being praised by her husband.
She raised her head, looking quite smug.
"So, you'd notice even that."
"But unfortunately, I'm not the kind of man who secretly checks out other girls."
Kai said with a serious face,
As if discussing a profound philosophical topic.
"Hmm, so you openly (and shamelessly) look?"
A hint of mischief flashed in Jean's eyes,
Directly exposing her husband's inner thoughts.
"Ah, this…"
Kai feigned extreme panic.
For a moment, his tone was filled with shock.
"You knew even this?"
"Damn it, the Acting Grand Master is indeed omniscient!"
"Hmph, so you really do that… You're asking for it."
Jean gave a dissatisfied snort.
She turned her head and gently poked Kai's side.
"Ah, I'm dead!"
Kai collapsed on cue.
Seeing his wife's previously troubled expression,
Finally relax at this moment, a slight smile curving her lips.
His body, which had fallen halfway, instantly froze in mid-air.
Kai slowly stood back up, blinking.
He reached out a finger and poked his wife's cheek, smiling.
"Hehe~"
"So, do you feel better now?"
