CONTRACTUAL WIFE. | ##kamisatoayato

[27]

Standing in near the window staring at the bright moonlight, the breeze of the cold wind came in your bare skin, as you recalled the memories of the past.

Pain.

Humiliation.

“Was the moonlight beautiful there as well?” Mumbling as you raise your left hand higher, the ring ayato gave you shined in the dim room, staring at it for a good minute you clenched your fist. Maybe you and Ayato weren't meant to be together after all the relationship of you two started out of contract, out of pity for you.

You refused to believe it.

But your heart is slowly breaking a part in these lone three years.

You stared at child sleeping peacefully on the bedroom, Face the same as ayato— you were devastated whenever you look at your son, he reminded you of his own father the one that you love, the one that you cherished, you pitied your own son for the fact that you ran away from Inazuma.

You could've given him a complete family. But you didn't— but if you stayed there when the crisis started you also don't think he would survive, even breathing there was a pressure he could've died there if you stayed.

“I don’t know, Would your father push you away when he sees you? Or will he protect you?” You caressed his pink cheek. You smiled as you scooted closer to his small frame embracing him. “I will protect you with my life.” Kissing the child's forehead she drifted to sleep.

“What do you mean we're going to Inazuma?” Keqing asked the business woman who is now smoking in her pipe, Her scarlet red eyes followed the electro user. “For Irodori Festival, yes.” Ningguang said. “The traveler will come here personally in a few days to fetch us, I was invited by someone named Kamisato Ayaka.” Just as Ningguang's sentence stop you and Ganyu walked inside her office to deliver the paper works for today, “Ah speaking of Irodori Festival we must leave at once, A little vacation wouldn't really hurt you see.” Ningguang said.

“You're taking a vacation?” Your mouth purse in a thin line as you gaze on the scarlet red eyed woman, “Yes although, it's only for three days. But keqing could go with you there for assistance.” It was ironic, Ningguang and Keqing did not have the word “Vacation” on their dictionary. “Well that seems well.”

“Oh and Ganyu, could you prepare to come and greet her in three days ? She will come her to personally fetch us.” Ningguang said, Ganyu seemed to know who she was talking about and nodded still feeling a little drowsy as she headed towards the exit.

“Ah yes, Y/N you will be my secretary in Inazuma. Ganyu cannot come as she is, as you know a half adeptus, which is she cannot come to some nations because she has a contract with the geo archon in protecting liyue. Would you like to take the task? I can ask Bei to come with us.” You shook your head, you were fine with it. “Shouldn't you be worrying about your family's stall?” Keqing asked you let out a laugh.

“I'm sure father will understand, and besides we can't open a stall without Ningguang's help.” Keqing just sighed, the thought of vacation made her shiver she wasn't use to the word and barely even heard of it, All she knew was work, work, work on the daily basis.

You smiled at the Yuheng seeing her reaction It was cute she was clearly sulking, You got out of the office and decided to descend on the ground to go to the crux, unfortunately Yuki was out with Kiyoko you believed they were going for a stroll in the harbour.

You are going to go home in Inazuma.

It would be a great news thus paying a visit to  Kazuha and Beidou was what you did, “Yo, what are you doing here?” Beidou asked.

“Nothing much, I'm just here to say I'm going back home to Inazuma for the Irodori Festival.” You look at kazuha who was blowing a tune on his leaf, “I was going to go home too. Mind if i join you?” You shook your head, “I'm sure Yuki would love you going.”

Kazuha knew who your husband already. He also knew about your situation. You and Kazuha went on a quieter place, “What's your plan about Yuki?”

“Are you going to introduce him as a Kamisato?” He asked you. Which made you wonder, “I don't know, Yuki said he didn't care about his father, But if someone sees him in Inazuma they will probably assume who is his father at first glance.”

“Indeed, he resembles Lord Kamisato in every aspect just by staring at him you can already guess who his father is.” you nodded, “Well then are you excited to go back to our homeland?” You had a grin plastered in your face. “Am i?” In truth, you were after all you had been waiting to come back to get back to those who humiliated you, but you didn't know how to face him when the time comes. “Fate will bring you back once again.” You closed your eyes as you heard Kazuha blowing a tune a melodic one at that.

You and Kazuha were in the crux still watching the sea, Beidou was chatting with the crux, You and Kazuha were drinking sake together. “Kazuha, do you want to go home to Inazuma too?” You asked looking at the waves in the sea the starry night's reflection on the water was beautiful in sight. “Yes.”

“The starry night and how beautiful they look in the water's reflection.”

You glance at the Intertwined Fate that the traveler had given you. You decided to use it, once and for all.

You threw the stone high above it made a beautiful color as gold as you stated your wish. “Please, make everything turn into my favor in this time.”

Back In Inazuma, Ayato had just came back from his work feeling empty as usual, "Come out." Ayato said, a ninja appeared. "My lord, I saw Lady Nobunaga meet with Lady Y/N's mother today."

"She may be the one who told Lady Nobunaga about Lady's identity." Ayato chuckled darkly. No matter what he can never understand your mother, he wanted to strangle her to death but he thought that you wouldn't probably want that.

How Ironic, that the current you wanted to do it directly to her.

"Brother, The preparations for the Irodori Festival had been prepared, but this time we have an unexpected guests from Liyue."

"Who is it?"

"Other than the famous novelist Zhenyu, two members of the Liyue Qixing would come to the festival to actually enjoy the festival." Indeed it's an important guest, just like the Tri-Commission the Liyue Qixing is the one governing Liyue. "We shall personally welcome them the day of there arrival here in Inazuma." Ayaka nodded.

"Brother.. are you okay?" Ayato looked away.

"Three years, Am i okay?" His voice lingered with bitterness, It was very not you to just disappear without a notice. "I know she's alive." He just kept searching for you in these three years, but there was no news of you other had even thought that you were dead.

“Sayu had already collected some evidences in the Matsuoka Residence, Gambling debts and doing illegal things, We can hand it out in the tenryou commission tomorrow.” Ayaka nodded, It was just the first thing on a payback list, “Wouldn't that make the current head, Haruto in trouble?” Ayaka asked.

“But he has to face the consequences of his family's actions, He is the current head after all.”

“Besides the shogun is the one who said that they must be punished for illegal conducts, and  debts.” Ayato said ruffling ayaka's hair.

“A good show will start tomorrow as we infiltrate the Matsuoka Mansion.”
