Fatui's Little Prince

Tear Apart

Capitano looked again to the ice swords and turned to Tsaritsa. His voice sounded cold and ruthless when stated his ultimatum.

"Then if I manage to alive, Tartaglia will be my mate."

The anger burnt the heart of the mafia boss. Zhongli threw his needle from his sleeve and growled, the needle itself cracked his helmet. Tsaritsa amazed.

"Mortal, you wish to die? Who told you to snatch him from me?" he asked. Red liquid slowly dripping from the crack he made, but Capitano stayed calm and composed. Alex looked at Tsaritsa with killing intention on his gaze.

"Your Majesty, is it okay for me to kill Uncle Capitano?"

"...boy, easy. Don't stain your hands," she replied. Ajax sighed.

'Like father like son,' he thought.

"Snatch him from you? Are you in delusion? He's single, not taken," Capitano said. Zhongli didn't utter anything, but Alex pouted.

"I don't want Uncle to be my Papa," he refused. Ajax chuckled.

"Then you want Papa to be your papa?" he asked. Alex nodded. "Why?"

"Because papa is handsome," he replied. Ajax laughed hard, but Zhongli smiled. Tsaritsa tried hard not to laugh.

"Boy, I admit that your father is handsome, but that's not the problem here," she said. Capitano lifted his head.

"If you're talking about appearance, I also handsome too," he said. All of them shocked.

"Really?" Ajax asked. Zhongli turned to him with jealousy filled his gaze.

"Are you curious?" Zhongli asked.

"Well yes I am. I mean, he...ah, I wonder what kind of face he has behind that creepy helmet," he replied. Alex hugged Ajax's legs.

"Mama, I'm hungry," he begged. Ajax carried him and patted his back, then walked out. Zhongli was about to follow, but Tsaritsa blocked his way with her ice swords.

"Who said you can go, Morax. Why don't you stay and listen to my proposal," she said. He glanced and tilted head.

"What proposal? I don't want to lose my family right now, Tsar..."

"They're not your family. Don't trap yourself in the delusion, Morax. Remember, I want to matchmake him with Tartaglia," she interrupted while pointing Capitano. Zhongli lowered his eyes.

"I thought you want to kill him as the compensation for hurting Alex."

"Ah, he's still my soldier, so killing him won't give a good impact for now," she said as she clicked her fingers and the swords stabbing him, the blood dripping faster from the wounds. "It's not even deep enough to kill, except blood loss."

Zhongli clicked his tongue and leant his head on the hand, then puffed a smoke he brought.

"...tell me your proposal, Tsaritsa."

"After Capitano leaves this room, Zhongli. It's a secret for us," she smiled as she pressed a button from her couch. Someone knocked and walked in.

"Dottore in your service, Your Highness."

"Bring him to your place and take care of his wounds, I have a few words with Morax," she commanded. Dottore bowed and helped him to walk out of the room. Tsaritsa fixed her position and smiled.

"My proposal is simple, Morax."

Ajax just done taking care of Alex when Zhongli came with sour face. He waved his hand so the amber man came closer to him.
