[dead soul] (scaramouche x fem reader)

27. one final kiss

The fatui harbingers who came to the banquet were watching them closely. Tartaglia, Pantalone and dottore which faked their invitation were having a lot of fun waiting and observing the balladeer.

"I wonder what could kept him here all this time, but now i guess i know." The doctor, who wore an unrecognizable costume whispered while watching from a far.

"Oh so you mean it was love!?" Childe suggested "he knows how Tsaritsa treat harbingers who fall in love, what's the point of sticking to her?"

Pantalone sighed "call Eloise for a moment."

"What orders do you demand from balladeer now?" The low ranked brown hair harbinger was already stuffed, eating all kinds of sweets.

"what do you think, Tartaglia? We should make sure there are no issues left behind."

He didn't quite understand the assignment nor did he care but the sight was a pleasant one. The balladeer dressed nicely dancing with a beautiful lady who had a majestic white gown. They were happy.

The balladeer was smiling, his smile wasn't a forced one. It was a real smile! he barely exchanged any in his entire time that he had known scaramouche.

The banquet was filled with thousands of guests but childe could easily spot a happy couple like them. He felt desperate for a moment.

'Where is lumine now i wonder.'

Soon Tartaglia shook that thought and came back to reality. Maybe he was the only one who understood scaramouche, maybe he also wishes to break free from Tsaritsa's.

Eloise arrived while childe was lost in his thoughts "tell scaramouche to bring a proof that the girl is dead once he gets a hold of the gnosis."

"Otherwise we will confirm her death ourselves."

Pantalone smirked cruelly while Tartaglia realized the ending of this so-called path.

I stood next to scaramouche flustered all of a sudden when he grabbed my hand.

"Are you flustered, my lady?" He teased.
