Fatui's Little Prince

Reunion

Zhongli received a letter with Fatui seal on it anxiously. Xiao looked at him.

"Are you okay, my Lord?"

"...to be honest, no. It's...my wish to see Childe one more time. However, it's not an easy wish. Tsaritsa is blocking my way," he said as he unsealed the letter and read it. His eyes gleamed.

"Venti managed it! Quick! Prepare the private jet, clothes and toys for my son!"

"Yes, my Lord!" Xiao answered, bowed and left the room. Zhongli smiled and looked at the photo. Suddenly his smile faded.

"...will he accept me? After what I did...back then? I should ask..."

Bam!

"Oh, there you are, old lizard," someone greeted. Zhongli lifted his face to see the queen of thunder came uninvited, along with Venti behind her.

"...what's your business, Raiden Ei? Or perhaps, Raiden Shogun?"

"It's Ei. Shogun is my doll," she replied as she casually landed her bum on the sofa. "I heard you have a son. Congratulations. Where is he?"

"At Snezhnaya."

"One of your bastard children?" she mocked. Zhongli summoned his spear.

"My only son and don't you dare call him a bastard child. If you wish to die, just tell me earlier," he scolded. She waved her hand and looked at the statue far enough from her.

"My son told me you raped an omega from Fatui. So is that...his son?"

"You're right," he growled.

"Guys, easy. You two are scary now with these pheromones," Venti said as he tried to control his friends. Ei just snickered and laughed.

"Ahaha! You hurt an omega from Fatui, yet you wish he will forgive you? Are you shameless?"

"...I don't want to lose them," Zhongli said.

"Lose them? They left you, old man. Can't you understand that simple move?" Ei mocked. Zhongli looked down.

"Why? Why he left me?"

"You better ask him, Morax. You have the right to ask," Venti replied. "Ah, don't forget your promise."

He turned to Venti and nodded, then check the phone.

"Done. I'll see you later," he said as he left the office with Ganyu, but Ei stopped him with her words.

"What will you do if they reject you?"

"...that's another matter," he said as he rushed.

"Mama?"

"Yes, sweetie?" Ajax replied and fixed his hair carefully. Alex nuzzled on his hand.

"Papa is coming, right?"

"...yes. Are you excited?" he asked.

"Un. I wonder what kind of person he is. Tell me more about Papa," he begged. Ajax carried him and walked.

"Papa is a strong man, kind and sometimes reckless. He doesn't like seafood," Ajax told him.

"Seafood? But it's tasty," Alex complaint. Ajax chuckled and kissed his cheek.

"Still Papa doesn't like it. Once Mama fed him my special dish, he couldn't even eat half of it."

"Papa is bad," he pouted. Ajax laughed.

"Say, baby. What if your father...is someone you don't like?" Ajax asked. Alex thought and patted cheek.

"I want to know Papa first before deciding that problem, Mama."
