Fatui's Little Prince

Lil Dragon's First Assassin

Pantalone knelt with handcuffs and face full of bruises. Right in front of him, Tsaritsa patting the young dragon on her lap with gaze as cold as ice. She looked down.

"To think that you dared to kidnap and put him in danger, you're so reckless and dangerous. Guess Tartaglia beat you up a bit nicely, huh?" she said. Ajax only stayed silent, but his eyes laid on Alex who looked pale and stiff on her lap. Tsaritsa sighed.

"Take him away. I don't want to see him for a while," she said. The guards led Pantalone to leave the throne. She patted Alex's head gently.

"Did you scared when you were alone at Inazuma?" she asked. Alex shook head.

"No, because Uncle Zhongli stayed with me," he replied. The adults turned their gaze to Ajax who looked uncomfortable. Tsaritsa chuckled.

"Is he nice?" she asked. Alex nodded. Ajax was about to get him, but Tsaritsa handed Alex to Pierrot.

"Train him well with all your might, I have to talk with Tartaglia," she ordered. Pierrot nodded and took Alex out, while Ajax standing there confused. She crooked her finger to let Ajax closer. He walked and knelt before her.

"My dear Tartaglia, you look uncomfortable. Is something weight your mind?" she asked nicely. Ajax gulped.

"Your Highness, I..." he stopped as he didn't know what should he say. Tsaritsa didn't say anything, waited for the youngest omega finished his words.

"...I am sorry. I don't want Alex to meet his father, yet you wish to train him as a Fatui to kill Morax," Ajax said.

"Tartaglia, I understand your feeling. However, he needs to face the cruelest truth you hide," she said calmly. Ajax gritted his teeth and sighed. "And, I was about to matchmake you with someone."

"Huh?!" Ajax shocked and lifted his head. "Matchmake? Me? Sorry...I mean, pardon for my rudeness but I don't have any interest to mate with other alphas."

"Is that so? Alright, I won't say about it anymore. You may dismissed, all of you," she said. One by one they left the throne room, while Ajax paced up to the training ground. Arlecchino followed him secretly.

"...what do you want?" Ajax said as he stopped and turned to face the lady with short white and black hair. She pouted.

"I want to see the real power of baby Alex, can't I?" she asked. Ajax sighed.

"I didn't say you can't. After all, he's gonna be a Fatui and I can't disobey Tsaritsa's order," he said. They walked together to the training ground and found Alex standing in the middle alone, Pierrot and Sandrone stood far enough from him. Ajax bit his lip.

"Not her dolls, please," he groaned. Arlecchino patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," she cheered up. Ajax sighed and hugged himself to calm down.

"...yeah, he will be fine," he repeated. Pierrot held his doll and waved to them, then nodded to Sandrone. The lady smiled and dropped ten automatons around the young boy and chuckled.

"Alex~ these automatons are made a long time ago, well let's say it's roughly around 3000 years old. So better not destroy them or I'll hit your head," she said calmly.

"I'll try, Auntie!" he yelled. One of the automatons lifted its hand and attacked him, but Alex managed to dodge by jumping and pulling out his great sword from the void he made. He swung his weapon to decapitate its hand. Sandrone shocked.

"You little shit! I told you..." she stopped yelling as a knife passed her face and scratched her nose. She turned to see Ajax glared with venomous aura, even Arlecchino flinched next to him.
