Dirty, Little, Traitor [Scaramouche x Reader] Genshin Impact

The Scaramouche That Loved You (PART IV)

You couldn't see her, but she was there too.

Watching you remember your memories with the help of that Pyro drug.

The Tsaritsa's embrace was cold enough to feel like fire. It was evident that your devotion to her was recognized and your beloved Archon was welcoming you to die.

To be at peace.

To be safe.

Blessing your death despite it not being on a battlefield.

The Tsaritsa was going to take you one way or another and it seemed like she wouldn't mind taking you by force.

"So, I asked the chief alchemist; how could one be a cavalry captain without any calvary?"

"And what did he say?"

"Albedo said that questioning the Knights of Favonius would not be the wisest thing to do since I am a Harbinger's secretary."

"And what did you say?"

"Nothing, I ran off."

Scaramouche paused, eyeing the unbothered look on your face. He leaned to the side, grinning, "Is that why we're packing our things?"

"That's why we're packing our things."

"Because the Knights of Favonius are coming for us?"

"Because the Knights of Favonius are coming for us. Gosh, sir, you're so good at reading me."

A vacation away from the Fatui was definitely something you needed. It was nice to finally relax, to wake up in the morning not worrying about any upcoming missions or soldiers to order around. You spent the past few days exploring Dragonspine, marvelling at the snowy mountain caps and brutal ice storms.

Yesterday, you were playing in the snow. Scaramouche joined you on your little escape and soon found himself trying to dodge snowballs. He stood amazed at your aim, finding it more dangerous than he anticipated. Moreso when he had to tap out from the game - grateful that he would never be the one at the end of your gun.

So, you continued to wander around the mountain on your own. It was the first time Scaramouche let you roam around without being leashed to him - at least, having him around. He deemed letting you go and having society deal with your shenanigans would be good.

Eventually, your exploration led you to meet a peculiar fellow named Albedo, an alchemist living on the mountain. You spent the day chatting casually, barely grazing over the fact that you were a Fatui secretary and here to pillage Dragonspine's natural resources. Albedo conversed with you like you were a friend.

Later on in the day, things got a little heated. Again, you weren't the type to mix business and pleasure because you had absolutely no idea how to do such a thing. One thing led to another and you found yourself overstepping your boundaries.

After finding out that he was indeed a member of the Knights of Favonius, you tried your luck and probed a little deeper - just a little peek into the group's functionality. And of course, the Alchemist seemed to have seen right through you.

Scaramouche stared at you questioningly, tapping his fingers against his crossed arms, "That cannot be the only reason we're being chased out of the country."

You perked up a little as you replied, "Oh yes, I also put him at gunpoint."

"There it is." Scaramouche's chilling grin mirrored your guilty shrug, his satisfaction was certainly evident.

Both of you packed your belongings and cleaned up after yourselves. And lo and behold, it was like you two were never even there.

It was quite funny seeing the shocked look on the attending Sergeant's face when you told them that you were leaving the mountain. A little bit of context, you had enough insight to actually dedicate a team to extracting Starsilver ores, after all, that was the point of the journey. Needless to say, they didn't really have any complaints when asked to wrap up work early.
