Care (Shenhe X Male Reader)

Chapter 8: Wrong Path?

A/N: Yeah yeah it's daily and I forgot to update yesterday BLAME WATTPAD

Narrator POV

Y/N woke up, in a cold room, his chest hurting him, as he opened his eyes, slowly

He was chained to the wall, not able to move except his head, as he took a deep breath

He was back at Snezhnaya, after his defeat against the Tsaritsa

Y/N: So I lost.......... It wouldn't have happened, if that damn Adepti didn't shot me......!

He clenched his fist, as the chains started to move

???: I wouldn't do that if I were you

Y/N looked up, and see Tartaglia smirking at him, as he opened the cell

Y/N: What do you want?

Tartaglia: I am here to convince you to join us, of course. If you do, you will be free and alive

Y/N: If I refuse?

Tartaglia: Your execution is set already, but the Tsaritsa can cancel it if you join us. You either choose to live as one of us, or die like a failure

Y/N: So either I die with dishonour, or live like a scumbag, huh?

Tartaglia: You can put it that way, if you want

He started to move closer to Y/N, as the latter's eyes sharpened

Tartaglia kneeled in front of him, and smirked

Tartaglia: The destruction of Liyue is programmed already, soon, all the peo-

Y/N suddendly broke free from his right chain, as he grabbed Tartaglia's throat

Y/N: You really thought those chains would keep me in check? You really are looking down on me......!

Before he could do any further, ice spear stabbed him in the shoulders, arms and hands, stopping any action

???: Tartaglia, leave, I will handle it

He coughed a little, before getting up, and walk away

Tartaglia: Yes, my Tsaritsa

She stood in front of him, as he glared at her furiously

Y/N: No matter what you say, I will not join you, ever

She didn't say anything, before she sat at his side, not saying a word

Y/N didn't say anything, before calming down, and rest a little

The Tsaritsa closed her eyes for a few seconds, as she remembered something

Flashback

She stood in front of the burning village caused by bandits

She started to walk in the middle of the village, hearing cry and plead of people still inside the house

???: Take this!

She raised her hand to her right, blocking a hit from someone, before pushing them back, and look to their direction

When the person got up, she realised it was just a child, who was crying, but looking at her with hatred

This child, was none other than Y/N
