"Running around like that—completely unbecoming of a noble!"
A mustached middle-aged man frowned deeply as he watched Eula rushing about.
He was Eula's uncle, Schubert,
and although the Lawrence Clan had long since fallen from grace,
he still clung to his old noble pride.
He upheld all the traditional noble etiquette—
And demanded every family member do the same.
So seeing Eula hurrying around like this irritated him.
"She never should've joined the Knights of Favonius."
Schubert regretted it even now.
From his perspective, the downfall of the Lawrence Clan was tied to the Knights.
They were overthrown a thousand years ago by Vennessa,
and ever since then, the Knights had suppressed their influence.
In his eyes, they were enemies.
So Eula joining them was nothing short of betrayal.
Too bad the Grand Master had supported her back then,
and Schubert and the others hadn't been able to stop it.
"Hmph? What's she doing now?"
Schubert's frown deepened as he noticed Eula acting unusually solemn in the courtyard.
He didn't particularly like this younger relative of his,
but he knew she was usually diligent in her sword training.
What was she doing now?
What were those... cards?
Then, something happened that left him utterly speechless.
At the cry of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon!",
a blazing light exploded outward—
"ROAR!!"
A thunderous dragon's cry shook the skies,
and a majestic silver-white dragon soared into the air, circling high above the estate.
"Wha... what the—is that a dragon?!"
Schubert was so stunned, he couldn't even form coherent thoughts.
Never in his wildest imagination had he thought he'd witness a real dragon...
Right in the Lawrence courtyard!
Especially since it looked like it had been summoned by Eula herself!
As for whether it was real or fake—Schubert didn't doubt it for a second.
That overwhelming presence, that crushing pressure...
How could something like that possibly be fake?
"But why would Eula have a dragon? Did she come across one by chance?
But in Mondstadt, aside from the Stormterror Dragon, I've never heard of any others!"
A torrent of questions surged through Schubert's mind.
Just as he was about to step forward and ask, the scene before him changed once more.
And this time, he was completely stunned.
Because up in the sky—two more identical Blue-Eyes White Dragons had appeared!
Three Blue-Eyes White Dragons now hovered high above, their combined presence making the pressure in the air spike dramatically.
Unable to withstand the overwhelming force, Schubert collapsed to the ground, trembling.
"T-This…"
"Three dragons?!"
Shockwaves rippled through his mind.
It was already rare to see even one.
But now there were three!
While they might not be quite as powerful as Stormterror…
They weren't that far off either.
"When did Eula gain the power to control such mighty dragons?"
That same doubt crept back into Schubert's heart.
Then suddenly, a bold theory flashed through his mind.
"Could she have gotten them from the Knights of Favonius?"
In the blink of an eye, Schubert's imagination conjured up a grand scene:
Eula, bearing the humiliation of her lineage, joined the Knights of Favonius in secret, all for the sake of one day restoring the honor of the Lawrence Clan.
There, she stumbled upon a hidden truth about dragons.
Then, by earning the trust of her comrades,
She finally obtained the power of not one, not two, but three dragons!
And now that the time was ripe, she no longer needed to hide!
Considering Stormterror was once one of the Four Winds, it wasn't entirely impossible for the Knights of Favonius to hold the secret to dragons.
The more Schubert thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
He looked at Eula, his eyes now filled with admiration.
Reviving the glory of House Lawrence is our sacred duty!
A noble born of the Lawrence bloodline could never be a traitor!
He must have misjudged her.
At that moment, Eula also noticed Schubert's presence.
Seeing the admiration in his gaze, a look of confusion crossed her face.
If she knew what her uncle was thinking right now, she'd probably be completely speechless.
It's just a trading card. You're seriously overthinking this.
Shaking her head, Eula turned her attention back to the sky.
Right now, her focus was entirely on the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field.
"This Fusion Card should do the trick, right?"
Recalling the scenes from the manga, Eula took a deep breath.
"Come forth—Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Since there was no one else around, Eula allowed herself a rare moment of theatrical flair.
As she inserted the Fusion card into the duel disk—
Crackle—Snap!
Cracks suddenly began to appear all over the bodies of the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in the sky.
It was as if a terrifying force was about to erupt from within them.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion that shook the heavens, the entire sky turned gold.
From the brilliant light, a massive, fearsome shadow emerged.
Moments later, as the light faded—
The three Blue-Eyes White Dragons had vanished without a trace.
In their place—
A colossal silver-white dragon with three dragon heads now floated high in the sky.
Two enormous silver-white wings slowly spread open, as if ready to blot out the sun.
"ROOOAARRR!!"
A majestic and earth-shaking dragon's roar echoed across the land.
