"A puppet?" || Scaramouche X Reader

✧The Tsaritsa✧

"This was only the beginning of this cruel world"
Ever since we arrived back at the headquarters the thought of him saying that wouldn't leave your mind.
It was clear to you that that was just another way of saying that that guy wasn't the last human that you've eliminated.

Right now Scaramouche and you were walking along the hallway once again. At this point, you can't even imagine how many times I have seen this sight.
Though this time we were walking for an oddly long time.

Just as we arrived at the end of the hallway, did Scaramouche stop walking.
The door he was standing before was much taller than all the other ones. There were also four instead of two guards guarding them. Scaramouche looked at me uttering
"Keep your mouth shut, understand?"
"Yes sir" I nodded.
But slightly scared of what could await us behind the doors
Scaramouche then demanded the guards to open the doors for him. Two of them nodded before actually doing so.

The inside of the room was outstanding. There was one big window on each side with a plant standing beside them. On the left and right sides, there were shelves filled with books. And In the middle there was a huge table, it had loads of paperwork on it. It kind of reminded you of Scaramouche's table.

Admiring it, you didn't even notice the person standing behind it. She looked even more outstanding than the room itself. Her long silver hair that almost reached. the ground and her soft blue eyes that looked like the sea, just as you were about to admire her beauty even more, someone grabbed onto your hair and aggressively pushed you down to the floor.
It was Scaramouche of course.

He was kneeling beside you pushing your head down to show the women before us some respect.
Who was she that even he had to bow before her?

"Hello there"
The woman greeted us
"We have successfully completed the mission your majesty" Scaramouche formally spoke out.
You did not expect him to be the kind that could change character that fast

"I am glad to hear that but tell me, is that the puppet that Sandrome has been working on for the last few weeks"
You looked at the floor with wide eyes.
A Puppet?
You could hear Scaramouche let out a quiet huff in return before starting
"Indeed it is"
Were they talking about you?
So you were right about me being inhumane all along?
Why does it feel so unexpected though?

Suddenly you heard some footsteps approaching you. It was the woman that Scaramouche refers to as 'Her Majesty' she bent down to your level lifting your chin up with one of her fingers forcing me to look directly into her mesmerizing eyes
"She looks just like her usual self, almost like they haven't done anything to her," she said after examining me

What are they talking about?
You didn't understand what was going on.
'My usual self?'
You asked yourself again.

She then walked back to her table to sit back down on her chair
"So Scaramouche, what is it like to have someone so similar to you join your missions?"
She ironically teased.
You could hear Scaramouche grit his teeth in irritation
"It's... I would rather work alone"

"Aw that is disappointing to hear, but would it hurt you to go on a few more missions with her?"
She softly spoke with a small smile
"I guess not"
Scaramouche answered
"Well then, here is the formula for the next mission, it may take a little longer since its taking place in Sumeru"
Scaramouche emotionlessly looked at her before picking up the paper from her desk
"Goodbye"
the indigo-haired man said before briefly bowing to her.
He then walked to your still kneeling figure before arrogantly saying
"Get up."

As we both left her room we went back to Scaramouche's office.
Entering it he sat down on his chair and read through the formula that 'Her Majesty' gave him.
His eyes went mad as he continued reading.
Was it that bad?

After he finished reading he slapped the sheet on the desk and said "we're leaving tomorrow at 5 am to continue our mission"

"'Continue?'"
You confusingly repeated
"The man that you killed yesterday has already leaked info to others"
"Does that mean, that we have to kill-"
"Yes" Scaramouche cut you off while writing something down on the paper
"Excuse me for asking this, but who was that woman just now?"
Scaramouche looked at you with a shocked face before laughing out
"That's right you don't even know her. No wonder you acted like that"
Suddenly he made a long pause. His aura became much stronger before he continued "She is our Archon the 'Tsaritsa' our mission as the Fatui or even in my place as a Harbinger is to show her loyalty"
"I see" 
I can't believe I embarrassed myself like that before an actual Archon

"Don't you wanna ask any more questions?"
Scaramouche uttered while browsing through the paper once again.
You looked at him confused by why he would ask such an out-of-character question
"Like what?"
You asked. At this point, he could mean anything that we have been talking about for the past minutes either if it was about the mission or the fatui
"Regarding the puppet thing, dumbass?!"
Scaramouche answered annoyed.
You blankly looked at him before saying
"Uh-"
"Actually let's just hear one of your questions I can't deal with more than that at the moment, maybe I will answer more later"
Scaramouche said, putting one of his hands on his forehead.
You silently nodded before asking

"Was I ever human?"
