Fatui's Little Prince

Kidnapping

"Your heat. I can feel it by your pheromones. I thought you want to mate," Capitano said. Ajax checked on the calendar and sighed, then took his suppressant without water.

"It's earlier than usual, maybe because Alex is not here," he said as he removed the knife and drove, letting Capitano dressed up. He snorted.

"Is he capable to ease your heat?"

"Maybe because his dad's genetic," Ajax replied while smirking. Capitano didn't say anything and done to dress up. Suddenly his phone rang. Ajax put it on speaker mode.

"Hello?"

"Tartaglia! Where are you?"

"Easy, Pulcinella. I'm still at Sumeru, on the way to Snezhnaya. Did something happen?"

"Alex is gone! And the worst thing is...based on the guards, Pantalone took him to Inazuma."

Ajax's heart stopped and accidentally hit the brake. His face turned pale.

"Why no one stopped him?!"

"The guards couldn't stop him and..
Uhh.."

"What?!"

"Morax is in Inazuma," he said carefully. He slapped his forehead and slammed the dashboard.

"Get him now! I'll pick him up!" he yelled and hung up, then turned to Capitano.

"You said you want to go to Inazuma for urgent matter? Is it about Morax?" he asked.

"No, I have no business with that man," he replied. Ajax hit the gas pedal deeper to reach the high speed to the airport.

30 minutes before the chaos

Alex looked at the phone, confused and sad. He gave it back Pulcinella.

"Mama is busy," he said. Pulcinella patted his head and smiled.

"We will call him again, okay? How about we have lunch? You look hungry," he offered. Alex nodded and followed him to the dining room.

"Oh, is that my little asset?" someone said. They turned their head and saw Pantalone with his business smile standing with a guard behind him.

"Asset?"

"No need to hear it, Alex. You know it's not a good thing calling him asset, Pantalone," he said. He laughed and patted Alex's head.

"I'm sorry, Pulcinella. It's just...seeing him as a part of Fatui is a bit...odd. Not because he's too young, but because he's..."

"Hush, don't say anymore. Alex needs to eat now," he stopped him. Pantalone nodded and smile. A guard came and bowed to Pulcinella.

"Sir, Her Majesty wants to meet you," she said.

"Now? Oh my, I can't leave Alex..."

"I'll take care of him," Pantalone said. Pulcinella raised his brow.

"You? Taking care of him? Why suddenly?" he asked. Pantalone laughed.

"Hey, it's common sense to take care the hungry kid, right? Alex, want to eat with me?"

"Yes!" Alex said. He held his hand, but Pulcinella felt uneasy.

"Maybe we should go together, Alex. I'm afraid..."

"Your Majesty is waiting, Pulcinella. Don't make her waiting longer," Pantalone said. Pulcinella thought a while, then nodded.

"Alright, take care of him," he gave up. After Pulcinella left, Pantalone carried him and smiled.

"Alex, what do you want to eat?"

"Hmm, can we eat sandwich?" he asked. Pantalone chuckled.

"Sure. Hey, boy, have you eat sushi?" he asked while walking to the parking area.

"Sushi? What is it?" Alex asked.

"It's a food made from rice, wrapped with seaweed and filled with various ingredients such as fish, eggs, cucumber and many more. Wanna try it?" he asked.

"Un! Can we try it?" he asked. Pantalone nodded and opened the car door.

"Of course, we can. But we gonna go to the best place to try it," he said while placed Alex on the chair and drove to the airport.

The private jet of Exuvia landed safely in Inazuma Airport. Venti hurriedly got down and looked around.

"Woah, Inazuma looks amazing as always. Ah, guess Raiden prepared her guards to pick us up," Venti said when he saw Kujou Sara walking with her subordinates.

"We are waiting for you, Lord Morax and Lord Barbatos. Welcome to Inazuma. Please, let me take you to the palace," she greeted and bowed a little.

"You can take him, I prefer to stay at hotel," Zhongli replied. Sara hesitated for a while, but she gave up when Zhongli emitted his dangerous pheromones.

"Understood, Sir. I'll tell my Queen about your reason. Lord Barbatos, please follow me," she said.

"Call me Venti," he said. They left Zhongli alone on the airport, while the amber man looked around to find a place for smoking. His face worn out and his hair messy.

"It's tiring," he sighed while puffing the smoke. "I should finish the party and go home."

He looked around to enjoy people bustling in the airport, sometimes his gaze stuck to the small families with happiness on their faces. His face gloom.

"There you are, my Lord. I was searching for you," Ganyu came and bowed. "Shall we go to the hotel, my Lord?"

"... alright, let's go," he said as he put off the cigarette and walked outside. He didn't know Alex and Pantalone just arrived not long after he gone. Alex looked around.

"It's warm here," he said happily. Pantalone nodded. He took off his coat and let him go.

"Okay, let's eat before your tummy growls louder," he said as he held his hand and walked slower to match his pace. He smirked.

"Alex, did your Mama tell you anything about your Papa?" he asked. Alex blinked.

"Papa? Mama always say he's busy with works," he replied. Pantalone chuckled.

"Ah, damn. He doesn't know anything about Morax. Hmm, shall I ask him?" he murmured as he reached taxi and helped him to get in.

"Did you see his face?"

"Uh... Mama said Papa has the same face like me, but his eyes...uh? Like...uhhh.."

"Amber, I guess," Pantalone said. Alex nodded.

"Ahahaha, he's gonna kill me if I tell him," he laughed. Alex tilted his head.

"Uncle okay?" he asked. Pantalone nodded.

"Yes, I'm fine little Tartaglia. I just remember of something intrigued. Something that once hurt your Mama," he said. Alex blinked.

"Who dares to hurt Mama?"

"It's Morax," he said.

"Morax? Who is he? Why that name always make Mama upset?" he asked. Pantalone thought deep before answering it.

"Wanna know about him?" he asked again. He nodded. "Alright, after we eat. You are starving, right?"

Alex's tummy growled loud after he asked. His face turned red like a tomato. Pantalone laughed hardly and patted his head.

"My my, poor little boy."
