Kaeya’s POV

“ I am truly sorry about what is going to happen tonight “ Jean apologised as the knights gathered at the monument for a quick briefing before their Liyue counterparts arrive

“ It’s no problem , afterall we even managed to drag our favourite vigilante along~” i chuckled at the approaching figure of Mondstadt’s infamous fighter , my dear brother

“I’m here , are you knights that incompetent you needed a vigilante to help with your pointless endeavours ? ” The masked knight sighed with a hint of annoyance as he folded his arms angrily

Oh Diluc just come and enjoy beating up some new opponents , for you are not the only one that wants you off that suspect list

“ Of course not Mr Darknight , we just thought adding extra work for our librarian would be rather uncivil and uncalled for “ I chuckled gesturing to Lisa who was studying the properties of Lightbringer , trying to be able to identify it if she sees it on the battlefield

“ We need her to stay in the backlines , incase the current wielder of Lightbringer decides to show up. Therefore we need to make sure she is safe to identify the sword “ Jean instructed

Diluc POV

“ I’m sorry ‘we’ ? “ I scoffed at the acting grand master

“ Captain Kaeya would be assisting you as well as myself if deemed suitable “

How humiliating , not only i have to help these twats to save my cover but i have to work with her and my brother ?

I rather just let them suspect me for being the Red Phantom

3rd POV

“ What makes you think the wielder of Lightbringer would show up anyway “ Kaeya asked curiously

“ We are not sure , however need to be prepared for if he or she presents themselves we would have quite the opponent to take on “ Jean answered , causing Diluc to quietly laugh at how the knights were so optimistic about potentially fighting the current holder of Lightbringer

Let alone identify it in the dark

Yujing would absolutely tear them apart , their decades of training are no match to centuries of experience

“ is there something to tour amusement Mr Darknight hero “ Amber scolded slightly resting her hands on her hips as she eyed the knight with a tinge of annoyance

“ I Don’t suppose you brought along the tone deaf bard “ He snickered darkly , internally hoping they did

He wanted to watch the look of embarrassment on Venti’s face when he watches his best knights get ripped to shreds by the very servant of his ‘block-head’ friend Morax

“ Civilians are not invited to watch this “ The outrider said , clearly unhappy with the attitude of the vigilante

“ Hmph “

Keqing’s POV

“ Mr Zhongli with all due respect , grand master jean might even be fighting  ! Are you sure you do not need assistance ? I’m sure Yujing wouldn’t want you fighting her alone “ I suggested slightly worried for my partner’s boyfriend

Yujing is probably going to have my head when she finds out I let this happen

“ Mr Zhongli would be fine ! Besides I’m sure he would be able to do some serious favonious knights butt kicking ! “ Childe cheered smacking his taller friend’s back

“ You know i do not condone such violence-“

“ Hey ! Don’t say that , besides Teucer would be happy to hear about you beating the knights up when he arrives in Liyue tomorrow morning ! “

“Awww Teucer is coming tomorrow ? Ms Ningguang you HAVE to let me off duty ! I promised him i would bring him shopping “ I begged my tutor and superior Ms Ningguang

“ Alright alright , but only because you promised Teucer and your pinkie would fall off if you didn’t stick by it “ She huffed shaking her head at me

“Well that’s settled i think we should grab our seats and popcorn for it’s about to go down !” Xinyan cheered

Civilians were initially not invited , however xinyan heard about this and insisted she tagged along so we would be sure she wouldn’t tell everyone

“ You knights were so desperate for a sword no one knows exists you invited your infamous vigilante Mr Darknight here to participate “ Ms Ningguang mocked as we madeshe walked over to Acting Grandmaster Jean , squeezing a laugh from the cloaked fighter

“ I know right “ He chuckled while Mr Kaeya smacked him on the back

3RD POV

“ We do not underestimate our way opponents and suggest you do the same “ The blond folded her arms in triumph , staring down the tianquan

“ We do not underestimate , if anything we overestimate our opponents “ Xingqiu chimed from the back of the Liyue party. His nose still deeply buried in his literature book

“ Xingqiu your going to get us killed “ Chongyun scolded , bonking the dark blue haired boy on the head

“ How delightful “ Kaeya replied dripping with sarcasm

“great.” The pyro wielder huffed in annoyance , his crimson eyes scanning the surrounding area of the ancient monument

Landing on the furthermost boulder where he presumed his dance partner for the night stayed hidden

-Camera pans further out , showing the area beyond the electro hypostasis monument The Darknight hero was looking at , revealing The Red Phantom- ( trying smth new hehe )
