Her Holiness. Days after.

Chapter Part 74 Keeping it together.

"Just what is going on?" Diluc asked confused at the sudden increase of attention. "Its as if we are being swarmed"

"Shush and keep smiling" Kaeya said posing with others. "Remember what Julia said. If anything this is helping. Think of it as public distraction"

"Just be glad your not busy as Albedo" Kazuha said glancing over and seeing Albedo and Klee together getting many pictures taken of them. "Ever since Klee came around everyone started coming around more"

"And we still have how long still?" Gorou asked feeling exhausted "I feel like we been here for days"

"Considering the time difference.." Itto said "I wouldnt doubt it"

Finally able to take a breather the group all took a minute to breath. "Ah Beloved your back." Zhongli said watching you come back with a few things "..Had a nice shopping spree?" he asked as he went over offering to help you.

"Just a few things" you said happy motioning him to lean down a bit. Following your command Zhongli did as asked only to be surprised when you put a what appeared to be a mushroom hat on him.

"hm?" Zhongli looked up at the hat his eyes widening at it "A gift from my beloved" he said gently touching it "Im never taking this off" He declared firmly.

"Aw!" Venti yelled running over and hugged your arm "Do I get a present too?" the bard asked. You laughed a bit and pat his head.

"Dont worry your not forgotten" you said earning a happy giggle from his as Venti nuzzled into your hand. "Where is my aunt?" you asked then noticed a certain girl with Albedo both of which are posing for a picture "And why- no how is Klee here?" you asked with growing concern.

"Well.." Aether started "a situation came up."

"What 'situation'?" you asked. You noticed how they seemed hesitant.

"That old Fatui man tricked Klee into freeing him and used Khoi's ribbon-" Paimon was cut off.

"He what?" you said feeling anger "Khoi would no way just hand over such a thing. If he has it then that means-"

"Ah! Your grac- I mean y/n try to calm yourself!" Venti said hugging your arm tighter "We mustn't cause a scene your aunt-"

"Im going to murder that fool! Watch over Klee and Paimon" you said pulling away "where's my auntie Julia?" you asked.

Xiao spoke up quickly "She said she was going to handle it and told us to stay-"

"How could you not tell me earlier! Last time she barely held her ground. Im going to find her! You all stay if anything happens try to make sure the innocent people dont get harmed" you told them as you turned to leave but was blocked the Dendro scholar "Alhaitham?" you said surpised.

"Im not part of this little event so im going with you." he said. "Lead the way" not wanting to waste more time you simply nodded and took off with him close after.

"I shouldve killed him when I had the chance.." Xiao growled to himself watching you take off.

"Well this sucks" Childe said annoyed "We cant do anything" he let out an annoyed sigh looking around "Damn Jester.."

"Everyone you heard my beloved." Zhongli spoke up getting the attention of the group. "We-" he paused hearing a voice. A voice that sounded very familiar.

"Osmanthus Wine tastes the same as I remember." Zhongli turned to see a man standing next to a booth "But where are those that share the memory" The mushroom wearing Archon watched as the man took a picture of with another person. Only to do the same to the next person in line. "You will continue to shine like gold in my memories"
