Eula uncle - Schubert Lawrence interaction with Traveller - Genshin Impact

In *Genshin Impact*, Schubert Lawrence, Eula's uncle, interacts with the Traveler during Eula's Story Quest, "Aphros Delos Chapter: Act I - The Spindrift Shall Never Return to the Sea." This quest explores Eula's complex relationship with her family, the Lawrence Clan, and her role as a Knight of Favonius, with Schubert serving as a key figure in the narrative. Below is a summary of Schubert's interactions with the Traveler based on the events of the quest.

The Traveler first encounters Schubert near Mondstadt’s northern city walls after being tasked by Acting Grand Master Jean to investigate reports of his suspicious behavior. Schubert, a haughty and arrogant noble of the Lawrence Clan, initially dismisses the Traveler and Paimon, showing disdain for their lack of aristocratic etiquette. His condescending attitude reflects his belief that Mondstadt has fallen into ruin without the clan’s rule, and he refuses to engage meaningfully without proper decorum.

To approach Schubert effectively, the Traveler seeks out Eula, Schubert’s niece, who agrees to teach them the customs of the Lawrence Clan. After training in aristocratic speech and bearing—first in Mondstadt’s plaza and later in Dragonspine—the Traveler returns to Schubert in Springvale, armed with a refined manner of speech and a gift of his favorite dish, "Gebratenes Fleisch mit Sauerkraut," prepared by Sara of Good Hunter. Impressed by their newfound etiquette, Schubert warms to the Traveler, seeing them as a potential ally. He invites them to meet his “friends,” leading them to a Fatui hideout in a domain called "Behind Enemy Lines."

Inside the domain, Schubert reveals his true intentions: he has been collaborating with the Fatui, providing them with a diagram of Mondstadt’s northern defenses and the Knights’ patrol routes. His plan is to destabilize the Knights of Favonius, allowing the Lawrence Clan to reclaim power in Mondstadt. The Traveler, maintaining their cover, follows Schubert deeper into the hideout, engaging in tense conversations with him and the Fatui operatives. Schubert’s arrogance blinds him to the Traveler’s true allegiance, and he openly discusses his scheme, unaware that they are gathering evidence against him.

The situation escalates when the Traveler removes their disguise and confronts Schubert, identifying themselves as the Honorary Knight. A brief skirmish ensues, with the Traveler defeating the Fatui guards. Schubert attempts to flee, but before the Traveler can pursue him further, Eula intervenes, having tracked them to the hideout. She apprehends Schubert with the help of two Knights of Favonius, bringing his plot to an abrupt end.

In the final confrontation, Schubert berates Eula for betraying the Lawrence Clan, demanding she join him and attack the Knights to restore the family’s glory. The Traveler witnesses Eula’s firm rejection of her uncle’s ideals, as she criticizes his actions for endangering Mondstadt and asserts her duty as a Knight of Favonius. Schubert, furious and defiant, is taken away by the Knights, while the Traveler and Eula discuss the recovered diagram, confirming the extent of his betrayal.

Throughout these interactions, Schubert’s exchanges with the Traveler highlight his pride, naivety, and desperation to revive the Lawrence Clan’s past dominance. The Traveler’s role is pivotal, as their infiltration exposes his scheme, allowing Eula to decisively thwart her uncle’s plans and reaffirm her loyalty to Mondstadt over her family’s legacy.
