"ahem..do you have mora on you?"

_______________________________

"Aha, you made it. As promised i found someone who could help you. Someone who could solve the mystery of why the liyue Qixing would hide the geo archon's vessel"

Paimon crossed her arms and said
"So where is he?in Liuli pavilion?"

Childe nodded
"He's certainly is. Come, I'll introduce you, i took the liberty of setting up a business dinner as per the liyue custom."

Time skip (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)

Childe waved at the man who was drinking tea and paimon was amazed how the pavilion looks like.

The man offered them to sat down and childe introduce him to Traveler.

"Allow me to introduce, Mr zhongli consultant to an organization known as wangsheng and a trusted associate of the fatui"

The traveler was shocked when childe says "associate of the fatui" and asked him about it.

"Indeed, Wangsheng's line of work can be... sensitive at times. let's just say they can understand what discretion is indeed. And we the Fatui have always been glad to do business with friends who walk in the shadows." His tone was changed when he brought up the fatui.

Something is up..

"W-walk in the shadows?" Paimon said with fear in her voice.

The man suddenly spoke and his voice was deep making the traveler surprise a little.

"It is an honor to meet you, i have heard tell of you from Mondstadt"

"Discretion...shadows... Ah! Is wangsheng some kind of business involving 'dealing' with people?"

"Indeed..it is as you guessed."

(If you already did the jade chamber archon quest perhaps we can skip that and go to the interesting part. 😋)

I ain't writing allat 🔥🔥🔥
----------

The jade chamber was surrounded by the fatui agents. While the two adepti focused on their energy and was attacking the osials.

Traveler T/N came to the jade chamber and saw the osials.
Xiao asked how did they get here and Keqing and Ganyu was also shocked that they we're at the jade chamber did they perhaps come here to help them?

Ganyu was prepared to shoot the osials with her bow and her cyro vision. The illuminated beast was infront of the osial's attacking them.

Xiao,Ganyu,Keqing gave the traveler their strength so they can defeat the fatui agents immediately. The unlimited stamina and fast strength xiao has really helped him because earlier he can't keep up running around to dodge the fatui's attack with his little stamina.

Ningguang looked at traveler and the adepti. Before the osial's attack the jade chamber with their most powerful attack, she closed her eyes and gather her energy. After few seconds there was a geo portal everywhere that is pointed towards the osials. She noticed they we're too powerful and her geo energy wasn't enough like how rex lapis killed them in the past. Ofcourse it's rex lapis...

She sacrificed her jade chamber once again. When traveler falls and had no strength to use his wind powers xiao immediately rushed to save him and they landed safely near by the beach.

-----
Signora watched from afar as they survived and saw that lady ningguang herself sacrificed her jade chamber.

She was amused. She never expected that she will do that. It might take some time before they build it once again.

She sacrificed the jade chamber just to protect liyue huh... interesting...

Meanwhile...

"Waahh!!"

F/n was crying because she woke up without her mother's in sight. The Fatui agents that was assigned to babysit her tried TT to calm her down but her cries was uncontrollable.

Whoever Hikaru wasn't there in snezhnya he was with her mother and tartaglia..

Pierro was a busy man since he's the 1st of the fatui harbinger. The fatui agents went to columbina's room and asked her if she could go sing or hum her a song.

" Oh dear... she's crying again? "

" Yes ! Yes ! She's crying and shouting for la Signora! "

Columbina stood up from her chair and followed them through her room.

Columbina can hear her cries from meters away since she can hear things from afar and her senses are very wise.

Columbina entered the room and saw pantalone babying her with expensive toys f/n calmed down a bit but she was still crying.

" Pantalone i will sing her a song you can continue you're work "

she tap on his shoulders before carrying f/n in her arms. Her tiny hands reach for her shoulders and hugged it while she hummed a song with her eyes closed ofcourse.

Pantalone silently leaves the room before she cry once again.

Time passes by,

She woke up crying. AGAIN. but the two can't calm her down she was really going crazy and yelling for her mother.

----

Signora from few meters away from the room through the hallway and she can hear her cries and immediately rushed to the room.

'tsk! Did the fatui agents i hired to babysit her can't calm her down?!'

She thought and opened the door to see columbina and pantalone trying to hush her cries because it might disturb someone in the tsaritsa's palace.

She carries the crying girl in the bed and looked at the two as if she's going to kill them. The two flinched Because they knew she hates it when she's crying and her eyes we're red because she was crying for a long time.

Her gaze said 'LEAVE.' and they silently leave the room before she could even speak.

----

F/N calmed down after seeing her mother embracing her while humming a lullaby for her to go to sleep because it was 12:00 in the night.

Someone knocked to the door on the door and her cold voice said "come in"
A tall black haired man opened the door and hear signora humming while the girl turned her head towards hikaru and reached out for him.

"Hikawru!"

She said and signora was taken aback. Wasn't she was a sobbing mess earlier?..

"..."

A long silence was yelling in the room until hikaru cut it off by coughing on purpose.

"L-lady Signora I'll put her to sleep."

Signora could only sigh because her tiny hands we're reaching out for hikaru and this was the only way to calm her down and sleep.

---
Hikaru played with her a little before humming a song. Her eyes was fluttering while listening to his soothing voice humming a song.

And soon enough she was already asleep in his arms. He placed carefully her to the bed and covering her with a blanket and left.
