Dangerous loyalty『Tartaglia x MR』

Tʀᴜᴇ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀ

"I figured, it was the only way for her to know of that charm. You mustn't allow her to gain a political following of any sort, if you do, we're all in danger. I sense no good intentions from her."M/n signs heavily, he couldn't believe he was tied to Lumine through his father.
So the second book would have revealed this part of their life but since I died before it came out of course I wouldn't know this but thanks to Yae I do. The first book was mainly about how she took down Snezhnaya...
M/n had no plans to combat this but he'd be damned if anything were to happen now that so much has changed.
"What should I do."

"Your best bet is to keep her away from any position of power, especially if it allows her to have control over a group. I suggest you look for a woman named Alois, she is from Mondstadt and will be perfect. Make sure to keep your enemy close. May you brave the storm that woman will bring."

"Thank you, uh do you want the charm back?"Yae shakes her head at M/n's question and remarked that the charm is where it belongs; at his side. Yae soon vanishes from sight, leaving M/n with his thoughts for a moment. Turing in his heels he made a straight march to Verose and drag's him off to another secluded area.
"What was that for?! I was getting ready to have a beautiful one night stand-"

"I'm related to Lumine."

"I don't know who told you that would be funny..."

"I'm not joking! Yae confirmed it a few minutes ago, Lumine is twenty years younger than me and my cousin through my father! Look at this!"M/n nearly shoves the picture into Verose face and just as shocked as M/n was, Verose went into denial.
"What if she's lying!?"

"Yae Miko isn't known to lie! She does things for a reason, just like how she allowed us to meet face to face with Ei on the battlefield. She wouldn't lie about this, she even told me that Lumine is dangerous...We need another plan...At this point, I'll have to kill her."

"Or become the Tsar. That should keep her away from the rest of our lives."It didn't sound like a bad idea but M/n knew it would be a struggle to take the throne immediately, that too required a vast amount of planning but it was his best choice right now.
"So how do we overthrow an already unloved queen?"

"Public opinion is needed, you must make a vast amount of public appearances, fix problems of your citizens, and course deal with all political issues. In doing this, it'll slowly push her out of the way."

"Treason has never tasted so good but this is to ensure our survival and to protect all of Teyvat."Verose wrote everything that was needed down in his book and advises M/n to make an immediate appearance when returning to Snezhnaya.
Ugh! I just wanted to survive, I didn't sign up to take over a nation but what choice do I have now?
"I can't believe it...This story is much deeper than we thought and not to mention, there was supposed to be a second book but we both died before It came out, which means there has to be another one of us."

"One of us?"

"Yeah, another person who isn't from here. I'm thinking it's Alois Baldwin, she was another character that died but Yae mentioned her to me. Alois or whoever is the only one who could know what happens in the second book but for now let's focus on one thing at a time...I plan to visit Liyue first based on Core lapis and heating stones."The males sigh but it was good to have this information, Verose soon hurries back to the beauty he was talking too and M/n travels around Sangonomiya shrine for a bit to get as much fresh air as possible.

As he takes in the view all around his foot slips on something: causing him to stumble forward and nearly fall.
"The hell did I just slip on?"He kneels to search the grass and his fingers poke something, now using his index and thumb to pick it up, he holds it above so that the moon could shine on it.
"A pearl? I wonder if there are more!"M/n drops the pearl into the sleeve of his battle clothes and began to dig.
"Your majesty?"The voice that called out to M/n was Kunikuzushi and Tartaglia just stood confused as to why the prince was kneeling in the dirt.
"I FOUND MORE!"

"Huh?!"

"Lookie!"With sparkling eyes, M/n shows off the midsized pearls in his hand; he had found more than ten in this spot he dug in.
"Sango pearls? I thought they were extremely hard to find?"

"Hard? Ha, I just found... seventeen...Hehehe I have a lovely idea for these~"The Harbinger's watch as M/n chuckles mysteriously while looking for more and succeeding in finding four.
"I have a strange feeling about what he has planned for those pearls.."

"Once again I agree with you and yet I'm anticipating it already."
