-

It was a light rainy day in the Ragnvindr manor/Dawn Winery. The ten year old gray haired Demi-Servant stood alone with closed eyes and her outstreched hands were welcomed of the rain openly which she peacefully enjoyed this moment that the raindrops poured her down gently.

Her dress were streched because of the rain but she didn't mind it at all, since it will dry once Elaine wanted to head inside. Her hands trailed down on her chest and she opened her arzure blue eyes that still looking up to the dark cloudy sky then she turned her head to the person who was frozen next to her which she smiled without any meanings behind it.

"Kaeya. How long are standing besides me?" Elaine questioned oblivious that her adoptive brother who just lightly fluttered his eye a bit which reminds her of a lonely star.

"Ah, sorry." Kaeya covered his face and handed her a white umbrella which Elaine gladly took it. She opened up and stepped closer to Kaeya who just didn't know what to do but ask.

"Why are you standing alone without covering yourself? Father and Diluc would scold you for that if you get caught a cold after this."

Elaine just hummed herself and stared the rain instead of looking into Kaeya's eye then she silently sighed.

"Say, Kaeya? What will you gonna to do when you are older?" The Demi-Servant asked which the blue haired boy was surprised over this question but he didn't hesitate to answer her.

"I'm doing what Diluc is going to do, becoming a knight of Favonius. And you?"

Kaeya didn't know why his adoptive sister acting like this way instead of being cheerful and seeing her like this makes his heart clenched in his chest as she looking like she was made of glass, but he knows she isn't.

"I want to be a adventurer." Elaine told him which he was surprised of her answer because Kaeya didn't expected.

"Why do you want to be adventurer? Did you know that this job is alot more harder than the knights of Favonius since the carrier has a unstable income and need a lot of skills to survive from the outside world, also Father will dissaprove this." Said Kaeya and wanted to stop her leaving them behind because he didn't her to be hurt even it was a foolish thought of him and he don't want to lose her.

"I know." She said then Elaine looking him serious in the eye. Her royal blue eyes were filled now in resolve which Kaeya was thinking back, how much his adopive sister changed so much in three years ago, "But my heart has been set in stone that I want to learn more from my own eyes of this world."

Elaine was aware what she will dealing in the future, since Galahad suggested her that it would be for the best that she should journey this world on her own two feets like he did when he was delivered the holy grail to god and didn't want her to be sheltered since her heart was harden from what she had seen, also they don't be belong this world.

Galahad who keep her alive as he still resides her soul and her status of a Demi-Servant, who knows what the planet's will would do to them. The grail knight wanted her atleast gain some experience of this world before some kind of a counter guardian decided to act.

"...There's a competition at the capital in a week."

The Demi-Servant blinked at him in surprised as Kaeya looking at her in serious.

The twelfth years old boy continued, "Show us all what you got to win and I will accept your decisions of yours." He raised his hand at her as Elaine's expression changed into determination and she accepting the challenge from Kaeya.

"It's a Deal then."

They starred at each other for a long time then suddenly Diluc yelled at them.

"Oi~! How long did you two are gonna stay here like this? You guys have to hurry up to get inside or Adelinde would scold you for an hour!"

Kaeya and Elaine widen their eyes as they recalled last time that the Head Maid scolded them like no tomorrow which they got quickly running to their home since they don't want to standing like a statue and listen Adelinde's lecture.

As they are now at the entrance and they looked at the hallway then sighed that the demonic Maid was not here.

Diluc who just first dried Elaine with a towel and scolded them at the same time, "What are you guys thinking? Be glad that the rain wasn't awfull and Adelinde was just heading back to her room, for Anemo Archon's sake!"

The gray haired girl looked at his other adoptive brother in guilt while Kaeya looking in other directions who just pouted.

"I'm sorry, big brother. I just like this sort of rain that washed away my worries and its very pleasant." Elaine lowered her head which the red haired boy cubbed both hands on her cheeks and looked at her with a soft expression.

"Please, promise me that you won't do it again. I don't want you to be sick because of the bad weather here." She nodded at him which Diluc was satisfied then he turned around to Kaeya who just whistle himself that made the red haired boy got annoyed and threw him a towel on his face.

"You can take of yourself Kaeya." Diluc stretched his tongue out as Kaeya put his towel on his head and grinned at him.

"Hey, hey. No need to be so angry like that, Diluc." He teased the red haired boy which Elaine just giggled at them and the boys glanced at her with a smile then they silently agree that they should bickering at each other later.

Diluc smiled brightly over his adorable little sister as he put his hands on her shoulder. "Elaine? You should head over to your room and changed your dress before we going to eat dinner." He told her which the Demi-Servant nodded and headed to upstairs to her bedroom while Diluc and Kaeya eyed at each other silently.

"So... What did you guys actually do at the middle of the rain." Diluc raised his eyebrow at him which Kaeya shrugged his shoulder a little.

"Nothing special. We just talking what we are going to do when we are grow ups." He told him and he also raised his eyebrow at the red haired boy, "Why are you asking? Are you perhaps jealous that I starred at her as she was pretty to be soaked in rain?"

Diluc's face turned into pink and stuttered, "Wha- I'm not jealous you idiot!"

Kaeya just sighed and shake his head. "Oh dear, it looks like you aren't aware of your own feelings for her." He looked at Diluc with a smug face, "Well... looks like I have less opponents which looks very good to me."

The red haired boy glared at him and boxed his shoulder.

"She is our sister!"

Kaeya rubbed his shoulder and looked at him bored as he counter him. "And? What's wrong with that? We aren't related in blood with each other so its fine for us."

Diluc paused himself to think even he wanted to hit his stupid brother one more time then he huffed as head to the dining room which Kaeya tagged along with him with a smug face that red eyes warned at him to shut his mouth up.

-

Meanwhile at Elaine's bedroom.

The gray haired girl glanced various clothes on her own bed as she can't decided to choose which one she wanted to wear.

"Why is your bed so messy with your clothes, Elly? Just pick one and done with it, that man who raised you picked those pretty clothes fit to so well that Gawain couldn't help but cooed you like his own siblings, wait this sounds weird." Galahad ruffled his hair in confusion and Elaine decided to pick a nice simple white sundress with a royal blue ribbon band on her waist which she quickly changed her clothes then looking at the mirror to make sure she was cleaned up.

As she was done, Elaine bring her clothes back to her closet then the Demi-Servant head over to her desk to make sure that her special books that contained her magecraft lessons for self-study were locked up.

Three years ago from that horrified place and living here with her loving adoptive family which she was thankful for their kindness that they supported her in care as she had this nightmare and she still has it even though Galahad show his memories which it didn't work for her because it was branded on her soul.

"You shouldn't look back, Elly. All you need is to look forward for the future." Galahad reassured his vessel who cracked her wooden chair with her bare hand who was anxious of her bad memories and Elaine breathed as calmed down for a bit which her heart resonate with her.

"Sir Galahad? Was it fine to leave here in the future?" The gray haired child asked Galahad, "To be honest I don't to leave this place."

The grail knight said nothing as he closed his eyes for a bit then he spoke. "It's fine to think of this and even you are going to be a adventurer, you can always come back here as you pleased and don't think so much of this since you are still young." Elaine nodded and she decided to give it a shot to become a adventurer even it was going to be hard for her, she didn't want to regret this.

She sighed in relief as a heavy burden were lifted on her heart and Elaine headed back downstairs where her family still waiting for her.

"Thank you Galahad."

The Demi-Servant felt that Galahad smiled at her with a rare smile which she pouted as she can't see it from the outer world.

"Nothing to thank for, Elly."

Elaine quirked up a smile on her face as she was called by this nickname because it was very awkward for Galahad that she has the same name as his mother, the former grail Maiden, but that doesn't bothered her anyways.

-

"What is this?"

Elaine starred at her 'meal' in disbelief while her Father and adoptive brother poked their sticky honey roast in hostile.

Crepus glanced nervously to Adelinde who very proud on her own work.

"What's wrong masters? This is just the usual one but improved so you can all eat it all safe now!"

Diluc and Kaeya looking at each other then shaked their heads that they aren't going to eat 'that'.

"Can you use your pyro magic to make this roast at least... eatable?" The blue haired boy whispered to his brother who just sadly shook his head in disappointment.

"Nope. I don't know how to fully control it yet because it takes alot of concentration and I don't want to burn our house accidently."

They both sighed in despair and they sadly didn't know how to cook.

"We should take a cooking lesson If this happening again in the future." Suggested Kaeya and Diluc nodded in agree.

"Ditto."

"Listen, Adelinde..." Crepus put his right hand on his forehead and sighed, "Who let you cook? I ordered the chefs that they shouldn't let you cook at their kitchen and who is in the kitchen?"

The head maid tittled her head. "Oh? Nobody was there in the Kitchen for some unknown reason, so I decided to take this on my own hands."

The older man just sweated as he remembered HE was the one who let the staff free from their work today since they all have this same strange sickness that they had to go to the church to their check-ups while Crepus was mumbled what he is going to do since he and the boys couldn't cook from theirselves, Elaine decided to took the glance of her suspicious sticky honey roast nervously.

'Is it safe to eat since I am a Demi-Servant?'

She nibbled first the carrots a bit which she was relieved that the vegetable were at least okay.

'I don't think you shouldn't because you are still a human.' Galahad disagreed and he also felt with her as he didn't forgot Gawains cooking which wasn't bad as Adelinde though the sun knight made quantity instead of quality which was boring, but humans need to eat to survive and thankfully he can cook a decent meal as he journeyed for his holy task.

'Can I take over your body?' The holy knight asked which Elaine raised an eyebrow.

'Sir Galahad? Don't you think this raise suspicious on me that I led you my body? Last time, my eyes were the same color as yours.'

Galahad blinked his eyes in realization. 'Oh. I forgot this importent detail, my apologieze. Then you can head over to the kitchen and cook while I instructedyou to make a simple meal then.'

"Adelinde." Crepus called her with a sigh while Elaine quickly left the dinner table unnoticed as she head to the kitchen, "You'r actually banned from the kitchen for the sake of our life of this reason that you cook questionable foods that no one should eat it."

The head maid widen her eyes in shock and nodded in defeat that, "Understood."

Meanwhile at the kitchen.

The Demi-Servant warped her black apron and glanced at the remaining ingredients on the Kitchen Island while Galahad hummed himself.

'First of all, Mince the wild boar meat with two butcher knife and use structure analysis to make this all even then seasoned it well with grounded black pepper and salt.'

She placed one kilogram of meat to the cutting board and minced it with high speed until it got turned into grounded meat then she seasoned with pepper and salt.

'Then mince the onions and then thoroughly panfry the vegetable on low heat.' The difficulty was control the heat since they using a stone stove which was actually dangerous for the children and Elaine cried a little as she minced the white onions into little pieces.

"Why do I have to cry when I mince the onions?" She sniffed her nose and whipped her tears which Galahad sweatdropped on her mind.

'Due chemical reaction? Also sharp knife could prevent this.'

Elaine deadpanned herself as she remembered the textbooks that Zeltrech given to her.

"Right... Moving on then, what's next?"

As the Demi-Servant proceed the next task Diluc and Kaeya watched dumbstrucked that the gray haired girl make food for them and talking herself with her imaginary friend or so they believed since Elaine sometimes talking with someone which they can't not see him or hear him.

Her brothers gluped their salvia as they smelled of onions and hoped that Elaine's cooking would be better than Adelinde's cooking.

"Wait..." Diluc realized something, "How come that she can cook?" He asked himself which Kaeya also had no clue where Elaine learned how to cook.

"Beats me, but whatever she was going to make would be so good and my stomach calling me right now!" His star shaped pupil eyes were gleamed about the food she cooked while Crepus obversed his daughter in unreadable expression and stroked his short beard a little.

"Hmmm."

One hour later. Each plates for each person were filled with meat patties in dark glaze sauce on top and few vegetable on the sides aswell which Diluc and Kaeya yelled.

"Thanks for the food!" They took the piece of meat into their mouth and their eyes their widen, "Delicious!"

Elaine watched them gently as they wolved down their meal while Adelinde sobbed herself that she also have the liberty to eat with them on their table aswell.

"My lady... The food your made is really exquisite than my Sticky Honey Roast *sniff* and I don't know what too say!" The head maid whipped her tears and sniffed which the gray haired girl smiled nervously.

"I believe that you can improve yourselve, afterall cooking is trial and error."

'Don't encourage her!!' The males thought with a sweat on their forehead as Adelinde took Elaine's words in her heart.

"Hmmm." Crepus hummed himself in delight as he tasted a little bit, "Such a nice and warm taste. You really done that well kiddo."

He placed his rough hand on her head as started to pet her which Elaine lightly blushed and pouted.

"Papa! Please stop pet my hair!"

Crepus chuckled lightly and paused as he catched a glimpse that her eyes turned slightly sandy gold and it quickly disappeared which he narrowed his eyes a little.

"Father! Pet my head too! I worked so hard from the training for the competition!" Declared Diluc with a full-mouth which the red haired man chuckled himself and he did as his son told him cutely then Kaeya was next aswell.

"Hai. Hai. Make sure to give your all of this competition since the knights of Favonius oversee children like yourself that may have the potential to enter their organisation, though the percent is very slim." Told Crepus kindly to Diluc and Kaeya who also participate aswell while Elaine watched them in the distance then placed her knife and fork to her plate as she was prepared to tell her loving adoptive father what she had on her mind.

"Father." Elaine called him which Crepus looked at her and he could swear that he saw a older version of his daughter who wears a black armor on her.

'What on Celestia am I seeing?' Her adoptive father thought and this isn't the first time for him since his son, Diluc resembles like a falcon covered in flames, 'Am I getting slowly senile?' He silently questioned himself while he waited an answer from his cute daughter what she had on her mind as her eyes bored into him in determination without any regrets in her.

"Can I participate at this competition awell?"

Everyone was silent as she spoked this sentence which Elaine eyed at them then she continued while Diluc didn't know what to say and Kaeya already knows her future goal.

"I know this came out of blue but... the Knights of Favonius are not the only one to oversee us, the Adventure's Guild also were looking for new recruits and I want to be a adventurer because I want to see the world."

The Demi-Servant bowed her head and silently pleaded on her mind that Crepus accepted her request while he obversed her at the moment then he sighed.

"Is this what you want then I won't stop your goal." Crepus knew that the time has come to her to forging her own path, since she was an outlander without memories before the incidents that Elaine told him about and she had always nightmares about it that his sons sleep with her on her bed which was very comforting to her, "But make sure to grow strong enough to have a long lived life... This is a plea for me."

Elaine was stunned that Galahad nudged her which woked her up. "Yes! I will do my best!" She said with a small smile while Diluc looked at her.

-

As they finished their dinner, Elaine decided to head to her room to study magecraft or . She is a avid hardworking girl that she studying healing first because its also common to magus children to learn that from early age, Reinforcements/Projection, her elements which was oddly Wind, Light and Void while her origin remains unknown for her.

'Originaly, I want to study Astromancy but since we have a bad weather here, then I should study math and physic.' The Demi-Servant thought with a sigh as she headed to her room also there was another reason why she was outside, because she was training to reach her limit since her power wouldn't fully awaken if she didn't do it.

Then suddenly a small hand grabed her arm from behind which she turned around to see that her brother, Diluc looked at her in concern from what she has decided to do in the future.

"...Are you really okay with that, what you want to be adventurer?" He asked which Elaine nodded in confident.

"Yes...I made my mind up." The Demi-Servant said to her adoptive brother which the red haired boy suddenly hugged her which she gladly accepted it. "You know... I was really glad that I lived with you guys. However-" Elaine gazed over his blazing red eyes that told her anything, "This is what I swear for myself that I want to the whole world. No matter how hard it is, I want to fill the hole inside of my heart."

Diluc raised an eyebrow, "A hole?" He questioned which his sister remained silent and smiled while Kaeya hidden himself as he eavesdropping them.

"Well this difficult to explain... but I know every human has it."

"...Is that so?" The red haired boy hummed then he decided to give her some space, "That's it for me then and make sure to train hard for the competition because I will not go easy on you!"

Diluc let her go and headed to his room that Elaine waved a little.

"I will also not going easy on you, Diluc and you aswell Kaeya."

The blue haired boy flinched in surprised that his sister knows that he eavesdropping.

'How did she know that I was here?'

[To be Continued]


Capítulo 4: Coincidence Part I

If someone ask me what constellation Elaine has then I am going to tell you guys for sate your curiousity here.

Her Constellation is [Scutum Gemini]

Yeah... I know its very uncreative for me, but come on! Creating a constellation with a meaning behind is hard, just looking at Mihoyo Company how they are doing made me respect them!

Also its not just Elaine's Constellation. Galahad is also with her, hence the part Gemini even though they aren't twins per see and the constellation sort resembles of a yin-yang with the cross shield on the middle.

Food for thoughts... Every Constellation in Genshin Impact has each respective elements such as Fire, Ice, Water ect.

However her/their constellation is very much unique because it has more stars than anyone else and has no elements like the Traveler from the beginning, also its big as the original Gemini Constellation from our solar system.

Well that's it for now and let's begin her childhood then romance later at the timeline were the traveler woke up from their slumber.

Also Grammar suggestion is always welcomed!

----

From the first glance of Mondstadt, the city was more lively than Camelot from Galahad's memory. Elaine wasn't that awed even it was a beautiful city as she liked the castle of Camelot more which Galahad was flustered by this fact.

'It's sure is strange that I prefered Camelot even though I wasn't been there and Mondstadt doesn't feel 'safe' to me or so my instinct told me.'

The Demi-Servant thought with a dreamy look on her face while her adoptive family were more farther from her since she prefered to walk with her shield which she was going to use it for this competition, thankfully they didn't add in their rule book because as long their respective weapons were dull and no visions are allowed.

'I guess, Everyone will be surprised that you are going to using that shield.' Smiled Galahad amused which Elaine just hummed a tune as she walked her way to the register place for registered herself for the competition, then suddenly someone bumped her from behind but she remained to stand still thanks to her still.

The Demi-Servant glanced at the person briefly who bumped her and it was a girl with blue hair and sharp purple-yellow eyes who was also quietly starred at her then Elaine looked away from her as she didn't know what to do since only Adelinde was the only woman who she can talk to.

'Whooaah... this is kinda awkward.'

Elaine blushed herself with that thought as she quickly minded her own business as she went to the person who just starred at her weirdly as if he saw a ghost.

"Excuse me? Is this the place that I can register for the competition?" She awkwardly asked this person who was apparently wore a adventurer uniform that she wanted to aim for.

Beginners were first adventurers to-hire and veterans adventurers are freely to roam in whole Teyvat just for prevent to raise death rates, that job isn't easier for visionless and it was confirmed that vision users have little more easier. However from both Elaine's and Galahad's perspective, humans are still humans that they could still get killed in either way.

"Mmm...Alright then. Please fill this formula for me, so I can give to the higher ups." The man gave her the documents and a Pen which she quickly said thanks then it was the another girl turn.

As she look over the paper and filled her name and her age except her real birthday because she can't confirmed exactly when she was born, no thanks for the Fuyuki Fire because its also importent that she only added the date of her arrival slash anniversary of that hellish day which its sucks for her, while Galahad glanced oddly about this man who kept staring at her.

'That man keep staring at you, Elaine. What are we going to do?'

Which Elaine glanced over the pony tailed styled pink haired man with green eyes then she hummed quietly.

'Nothing. I'm already finished the register document anyways, so we can head to the colosseum.'

With that she head over to the man who never left his eyes on her and placed the application form to the table.

"I'm finished with the paper and can I ask where this colosseum would be, Mister?"

The man snapped out from his daze then chuckled nervously as he took the paper, "Ahaha... Please excuse me. Well, the colosseum is in that way and you can't missed because its very huge. Also there is still time for you since you are the last." As he pointed the direction, the Demi-Servant can see it which she bowed him.

"Thank you very much, mister!"

"Ah. It's nothing to thank for-" He looked up at the fill and slightly raised his eyebrow as he quickly eyed at her birthday strangely then the man just smiled at her, "Miss Ragnvindr."

The blue haired girl before her wided her eyes at Elaine which she didn't actually care about the stare and gave him a bright smile.

"Just call me Elaine, Mister!" Told the Demi-Servant at him who paused little while the other girl just huffed and headed to the direction that the man pointed at.

"Say... Is this alright for you If I ask you some question?" The man asked her which Elaine was thoughtful about that then she look up to the time and nodded.

"Sure, I don't really mind because I still have time, but can you tell me atleast your name, Mister?"

Ah.

That man realized he didn't told his name as he put his hand at his neck.

'Way to go with the first impression.' He thought.

"Sorry, let me introduced myself then. I'm just a simple doctor, Romani Archaman. Or you can call me Dr. Roman if it easier to pronounce for you." Introduced Romani which Elaine felt a sudden deja vu that they met once before even though she met him for the first time especially Galahad since that bugged him for awhile as he took a glance on that fluffy long haired man.

"Is that so? Then Dr. Roman, you can call Elaine since my family name is also very difficult to pronounce." Told the demi-servant with a smile, "So... What kind of question do you want me to answer?" She asked straightforward which Romani startled a bit as he saw the glint on her eyes and coughed.

"Then let me this get straight being a physician comes first. Do you have any symptoms such as circulatory problems, headaches, difficulty by breathing, fainting time to time, nosebleeding or your heart is beating too fast than usual?" He asked in serious manner which Elaine took a step away of this sudden question with widen eyes that Romani noticed her anxiety, "You don't have to answer this if you are not comfortable with this." The pink haired man reassured her.

'Elly... We should trust that man for a second even though his intention to you is unknown.' Said Galahad in her mind which Elaine nervously looked up to Romani and answered.

"...A little bit all of it actually, since I arrived here in Mondstadt but then I got little bit better as the time passed by."

The physician put his fingers on his chin and hummed thoughtful, "I see... Alright let's move on to the next question. Not anything rude but... You aren't blood related to the Ragnvindr like that other foreign child aren't you? I'm curious where you are came from before you got adopted to that wellknown clan and don't worry, I am actually also a foreigner like you so I won't judge you."

"Sorry. I can't give you this information." She told him bluntly. Romani remained silent for awhile and sighed.

"Alright... That's fine. Then for the last question. " Romani paused a bit and looked at her with an unreadable expression then he shaked his head, "No... I think we saved that for later."

Elaine looked at him questionable which Romani chuckled and patted her head.

"Why don't go to the stadium? I bet your family is still waiting for you arrival." He said with a outgoing manner which she took his offer and waved at him as the demi-servant headed to the coloseum.

As she dissapeared among the crowds, Romani let down his hand and sighed while behind him a shadow person with a devious mind which the pink haired man was obivious who it was.

"Alice. If you want to scare me, then that day will never ever to come." Romani said and he turned aroung to see the elemental being just playfully pouted at him.

"Oh. That's really too bad~. I did really think I get you like this today Ro-ma-ni ❤!" Alice flirted with him which he stared at her in deadpanned and wondered why he befriend this insane woman.

Oh, right. She was the one who found him somewhere at the middle of nowhere and thank god that her husband is literary a nice man with spinless guts who just happen to marry that crazy woman.

"Well, aren't you the one who shoved me in this job that was supposed to be yours?" The pink haired human asked dryly at her which her red eyes wandered out of his eye contact, "First of all. I should actually be in the infirmary if the children supposed to be hurt themselves and not on that job."

Alice clapped her hands together and sticked her tongue out.

"Hehe~ I didn't really have a choice for that because I have a serious discussion about my husband and you don't have to be so upset." Then the Elemental Being eyed at him sharply, "Also what are you planning of that adorable child? I never seen you to be so serious before except for critical condition from our members and the citizen of Mondstadt."

Romani looked away from her and sighed. "I don't know actually what to do when I first saw that child. She looked exactly like someone I know before I arrived here in Teyvat." His eyes were filled with melancholy and clenched his fist.

The elf was silent and comforted him as she patted gently his shoulder.

"But one thing for sure, Elaine has certainly same condition like someone I know. She is a Demi-Servant." Romani said without a need of clairvoyance because she carried the same shield that Mash also carried which means the gray haired girl fused with Galahad, the holy knight of the round table of the arthurian legends .

"What are you going to do Romani?" Alice asked in curiousity and wondered if he was planning to support that girl.

Romani glanced at her and said, "It's better when you see from your own eyes in the future and you will see what I am going to do."

The Elemental being was dumbstrucked then she bursted herself into a laughter.

"Bwahahaha! You really are a amusing man who hides in cowardly act and actually strike when you actually needed to!" Which Romani ignored her and decided to walk to the same direction were Elaine walked.

'What mark will you leave behind in that world?' Romani wondered, 'And also how are being alive being as a Demi-Servant who doesn't have a Master?' Then he widen his eyes in realization.

"Can it be..."

-

Diluc puffed his cheeks in impatient and Kaeya was really worried about their adoptive sister got lost, because its her first time that she went off alone by herself and the common monster known as Hilichurls out there were increased since 500 years of that cataclysm while Crepus was also very worried if something happen to his precious daughter but he certainly believed that Elaine will arrived just in time as he hoped.

The woman next to him with her child who is the same age as his children also participate looked at him in deadpanned, "For a easygoing man like you Crepus for letting a child fend-off by herself then later regret this because you finally realized that you should at least keep an eye from your daughter." She said and huffed which the red haired old man glared at her in annoyance.

"You're one to talk, Frederica. I firmly believed that Elaine will coming in any moment here before the ceremony begins." Crepus provoked her a little that Frederica eyed at him and was ready to slash her sword at this defendless man while the children watched the spectacle in sweatdropped.

"Father? What are doing?" A soft voice rang out which both adults and children moved their heads as they saw a gray haired girl with azure eyes that stared at them in curiousity, then she eyed the Gunnhildr Clan in hostile which make Frederica and her Daughter uncomfortable under her intense gaze that shown grudge over them which they didn't why.

Meanwhile. Crepus turned his stoic face into blissfulness as he hugged his daughter tightly while Diluc and Kaeya eyed their sister in sympathy which Elaine waved at them that she is going to be fine since her endurance was finally raised C from her parameters. It's a highest accomplishment for a modern child like her and she can endure everything from here path but not everything because she fully knows her own limit that the Demi-Servant wanted to surpass it.

Then suddenly her adoptive father lifted her tiny body while her cross-shaped shield laid on the ground and spinned her around as punishment because it makes her and Galahad sick.

"Elaine! Do you have any thoughts on how much I worried that you decided to travel alone to Mondstadt? Even though I agree that first because I put my trust on you that you make it on time without injuries or something else what would happen to you!" Crepus scolded her which Elaine looked away at him which his gaze soften then his eyes fixated of that cross-shaped shield that his daughter carried thoughtfully and recalled himself that his little girl has alot of secret that she didn't wanted to tell anyone even him just like Kaeya who also has a difficult past that Crepus didn't ask as he respected their personal space.

"I'm so sorry that I went off on my own, but it was kind-off a trial for myself how capable I am on the wilderness and I'm also terribly sorry that I am late. I was held off by someone who want something about me." Said the Demi-Servant with puppy eyes which Crepus eyes soften while Frederica's daughter was prepared for the ceremony, so was Elaine's brothers then the adult man put Elaine down and patted her head.

"As long you understand that, you don't have to shoulder a heavy burden on you own since you're still a child. Elaine, I'm always there for you as your father even that who dwell inside you." He said as also referred the heroic spirit within his daughter and wasn't surprised that her eyes changed into sand gold as Galahad took her body for moment.

"So you knew." The holy grail knight spoked bluntly which Crepus nodded while his eyes are closed.

"Of course. I obversed every step you and her have made ever since I found Elaine middle of the road unconscious due that fire incident that she told me and I made two to two together that you guys came from the outside of this world." He told them which Galahad clicked his tongue a little.

"What are going to do with us since you discovered my existence?" Galahad asked in hostile. No matter how much his vessel/sister loved that man as her father, he wanted to test him as a decent human being unlike his biological father, Lancelot. Which Galahad refuses to call him due the fact that he slept with a married woman even it was love, this was a disgrace for the most loyal knight of the round table and the married woman was king Arthur's wife for God's sake, he also don't want their origin leaking out to the evil of this world.

"Nothing much, but I must thanking you that you protecting my daughter's life and I wanted just meet you even though you are with us for a long time." Crepus waved his hand a little as he showed that he didn't attend to harm his daughter for Archon's sake.

Galahad stared at him deeply as if he can see his ugly self and looked thoughtful as he communicated with Elaine.

'Let's give him our trust, Galahad. Father has done so much about us and you can sense that he wouldn't harm or betray us.' Said Elaine which the grail knight sighed in defeat because it was really true what she said.

"What's done is done. I hope you wouldn't mind that I don't want to integrate that much, Fa- Mr.Crepus I mean."

Elaine's cheeks turned to pink which Crepus chuckled. "No need to be so formal around me. Before you're going, can you tell me about your name?" Asked the older red haired man and they are silently thankfull that the crowds were focused on the first match.

"My name is Galahad." The holy knight of the round table only told his name because his accomplishments and his status as a heroic spirit means nothing in that world.

"Galahad..." Crepus repeated that person's name and smiled, "It sounds like a strong name and I like that ring to it.

Galahad remained silent and let Elaine control her body as they switched back again.

Her royal blue eyes gleamed in relived and hugged at him, "Thank you so much Papa." Then Elaine let him go and her adoptive father gave her a thin smile.

"Now that's settled. You should go were Diluc and Kaeya are waiting to their opponents and make sure to give all your best, Elaine." He said which the Demi-Servant nodded and hold her shield as she went down while Crepus waved at her warmly.

As she vanished to the crowd, he let out a sigh and looked up to the sky.

"I wonder what kind of fate coming up for her."

"That's up for her to decide which path she is going to take even it would slowly crumble away." Said the pink haired man next to him which Crepus got startled and he got a comical as the red haired man starred nervously which the man besides him laughed.

"Sorry, sorry. I must apologize that I startled you and I didn't mean it though," Apologiezed the green eyed man and raised his hand at him. "My name is Romani Archaman. You can also call me Roman if you like Mister Crepus Ragvindr."

Crepus eyed at this strange man a little without showing his emotion as he took Romani's hand and shake him firmly. "You can call me Crepus aswell, Roman. What kind of business do you want from me? Money" Asked the red haired man in suspicious since that mysterious man must overheard his conversation with his cute daughter which he regret it because suspicious people like the Fatui may have overheard them, if Romani was so sneaky enough to hid himself however from his suddenly surprise that strange man just smiled sympathetic and shake his head.

"No. What you are thinking isn't my true intention. I would like to talk with you in privat because this place isn't very ideal to start a conversation as you can see. I know that I am very suspicious to you which I cannot blame it because we didn't know each other that long." Then the pink haired man turned serious, "Is you choice if you want to listen what I am going to say because it has to do with your daughter which I met her recently at the registration station. Her life is at stake!"

Crepus was completely silent as he was thinking what Romani just said to him. To be honest, he was aware that Elaine's life got shorten when she was arrived here in Teyvat and the red haired old man was the only one who knew that she was an outlander from the first sight, then suddenly Crepus looked at him in realization. Perhaps he should trust this man because he got this theory that Romani Archaman may came from her world as he said that he knew Elaine's condition with just looking at her and Crepus remembers now the rumors about this man as it said that he came from a far place, away from Teyvat as the gossips from the apprentice maids from his manor.

They said that a strange man with foreign white clothes came to Mondstadt as he was carring a unconscious adventurer with an infant on its arm from 4 years ago which roughly the same time as Crepus found Elaine and is now a physician who opens a small clinic with a help of a certain chaotic witch.

The single father left out a sigh then looked to Romani with fire on his eyes.

"Very well. Then let's make an appoinment."

Crepus said as he loved his children very much that he wanted them to live a life that they dreamed to make it reality even it was foolish of this cruel world, Crepus is always a foolish father for them.

Aaand Cut!

Man! This took me two week to finish this chapter because it was very difficult to write for me since I was very busy in importent things.

You guys were very taken aback as I wrote Romani Archaman here on this chapter and yeah he is alive in that world since he erased himself from the throne of heroes which he got stranded in teyvat for unknown circumstances... I better let this asides because very complicated as it is.

What else?

I got nothing. My head is pretty much blank and... I better go to sleep right now.

See you on the next Chapter! Leave a comment If you wanted too.
