-Two To Tango-

"voices to the hated.." (8)

Despite being loved by Amber, Eula was never satisfied. She couldn't sleep like a normal person. She would get nightmares and headaches while she was trying to sleep. Eula would stay awake for hours at a time. People would gossip about her, and Eula would know. But the citizens of Monstadt never felt any empathy for Eula. They feared and suspected that she would come back as a person seeking revenge to avenge her clan for their downfall. Eula wasn't that type of person. People would make Eula hunt for her own food, no matter how tasty or burnt it was, she would eat it. Amber knew that the people weren't being so nice, but she knew that no matter how hard she tried to help Eula, she would reply with the same four words: "I'm used to it."

Eula was sleeping. Naked. With her lover. Also naked. For the first time in her life. She never expected Amber to be so rough with her. Eula was hearing many voices in her head. Both good and bad to horribly annoying. 

(???): "This woman doesn't deserve to be a knight. She's doing it for the revenge!"

(???): "Her parents are just as bad! Eager for revenge, nothing else!"

(???): "Born into the old aristocracy, then carrying the blood of sinners into Monstadt? What a loser. She will be the cause of this nation's downfall."

(???): "Her 'vengeance' is nothing special. That Lawrence is nothing but a good-for-nothing piece of shit."

(Noelle): "Eula acts like a clan noble on the outside. But on the inside, she is a kind-hearted woman that cares for others."

(Amber): "The darkest periods of Monstadt's history involved the Lawrence Clan, but even after the downfall of the Lawrence Clan, people still think that Eula was a sinner. She does have that blood running through her veins, but she is such a sweet person, with a unique sense of humor that I really like about her. How can I get people to see her the way I do?"

(Jean): "People see her differently. They judge her differently. Just because of the Lawrence Clan and the 'blood of the sinners' she has inside. Eula is an amazing knight, but she does seem very stubborn and barely steps foot into the city. I've heard from Amber. Her dancing is elegant. Although I do think that her taste in wine and beer is very different from most Monstadtions... Cold every time.."

(???): "Barely being in Monstadt. She must be planning some bomb or something outside of the city.."

Eula was sweating, probably from past memories and quotes that people have said when she wasn't watching. She heard them really well. Almost nobody respected her the way she was. If her parents came back to do harm to Monstadt, Eula would risk her life to help the citizens of the city, even though they have done nothing good towards her. She was a caring person, though that side of her soul never showed itself to everyone. Amber, Noelle, and Jean respected her in a way that made Eula feel better, but not satisfied. 

Eula longed for someone special to kiss her forehead, then press them together like someone from her past once did.. although she couldn't remember who... 

"Eula! Eula! Wake up..!"

"Ugh... huh?" Eula woke up to see Amber using a towel to wipe Eula's forehead.
