The Moment I Saw You - Cynonari (SMUT Included)

Fell For A Trap

As soon as Collei was in her room, she jumped on the bed and started reading her letter with a huge grin on her face.

To: Collei

From: Amber

Hi Collei, how are you? It's been so long since we've seen each other, huh? Sorry for not writing to you sooner, I got caught up in this year's Wind and Wine Festival. You know, as a knight I had to help around and spend time with my friends like my dear friend, Eula! I should introduce you to her one day, hehe...

"Eula?" Collei thought. It was the first time she'd heard that name. Was she Amber's best friend? More? She sighed and continued reading the last sentences of the letter.

Maybe I could come visit you soon and we could glide all over Sumeru together!

Love,

Amber

Collei laid on her back, she giggled and left the letter on her chest as she reminisced. When she had no one else by her side, Amber was there. And it felt like just yesterday when she and Amber first gilded together. That was a feeling she could never forget.

Cyno read the letter again. As far as he knew, the sages never asked a random scholar to do such service for them, no matter how much they trusted them. But he also knew that if the letter was true, he would get in trouble for not doing what they told him. He sighed and rushed into his room to grab a bag.

"Babe, I'm off," he said.

Tighnari finally woke up after all the fuss. "Where?" He said, rubbing his eye. He put on some clothes and got out of bed.

"Apparently, I have to deliver some things," Cyno said. He placed the items in the bag and hung it on his shoulder.

"Can I come with you?" Tighnari asked.

"No," Cyno said.

"What? Why?"

"Because, this whole thing is strange. I smell something fishy. So, I can't risk taking you into a situation I don't fully understand," he said.

Tighnari crossed his arms. "This is exactly why you should take me. Do I have to remind you that we're married now?" He said, holding his hand in the air to showcase the ring on his finger. "Whatever we do, we do it together."

Cyno had a bad feeling but he accepted. Tighnari was quick witted so he could greatly help him plus he would help calm his nerves too. "Let's go," he said.

"So where do they want you to deliver it to?" Tighnari asked when they set out.

"...Someone," Cyno said.

"Am I not supposed to know who this someone is?" Tighnari asked in suspicion.

"No, I mean, I don't know either. The letter said to sell these things to someone who will meet me outside the tavern."

"Outside the tavern? Interesting..." Tighnari said.

When they finally arrived at the spot, Cyno placed down the bag and they stood there, waiting. No one in particular was there, only passer-bys. To kill the time, Cyno flipped through the book in the bag. It was written by the same sage that supposedly wrote the letter. He pondered on the sage's signature again. "Something is off," he said.

"What is it?" Tighnari said. He picked the small pill from the bag. "And what's this? Wait, is that thing a knowledge capsule- how the..."

"I don't know," Cyno said. He took the letter out of his pocket and began sniffing it.
