When the Captain finally arrived in the Palace, he had almost a dozen lower ranking fatui agents, who respects him and probably also fear him, bow down to him and opening the doors to the palace for him although they were all shocked, surprised, and speechless of the sight they had witnessed, the first ever fatui harbinger, the strongest human being in Teyvat, who was known to be nonchalant, not interested in any females, and only focusing on himself and his combat skills, carrying a girl in his arms while wearing his winter coat, it was you. You were the current center of attention.

Of course we can't deny the fact that there are plenty if not tons of girls, who are attracted to the Captain romantically  whether they are just a normal Snezhnayan or apart of the fatui. The other girls seeing this sight will probably be displeased and will hunt you down for being carried by the Captain, I guess some people took love as an obsession hm?

Once the Captain stepped inside the palace, the atmosphere changed from freezing cold to a cold that's bearable and isn't overdoing it. He quickly made his way to the East wing of the palace where the medical bay is located at and took you to the doctor (Not Dottore, although he will be making an appearance later on further in the few coming chapters or maybe this chapter).

The doctor were surprised as well just like the other fatui agents, he wanted to question the Captain so badly but he'd have to wait and treat to your wounds first or else he'll have to face the consequences of disobeying direct orders from the first out of eleven fatui harbinger and everyone, by everyone I mean everyone knew what the Captain is capable of doing to those who disobeys him.

"Treat her now and make sure she does not die. If she dies, I should not have to continue on to explain to you what will happen, do I make myself clear?" - he said in a demanding tone, his voice sent chills down your spine though you were unconscious, your body could still feel it, you were unconscious not paralyzed. His demanding tone, mixed with a hint of angriness, worriedness, and guilt. Yes, guilt. He had felt guilty leaving you in that Shizo cell when he went out to take care of some fatui business.

The doctor nodded at his order and wasted no time to get to work. The Captain was present in the medical bay at all time when the doctor was treating you, either because he's worried or you or the more likely scenario, so that he gets to punish the doctor the moment he slips up.

After like 30 minutes, you finally regained consciousness and the doctor letted out a relieved sigh, knowing you didn't die and that he won't lose his life either. He letted out a wide smile and tried to open a conversation with you, "Hey, my name is Dr. Nikolaj, you are currently in the Tsaritsa's palace. A few more minutes late, you could've died, it's all thanks to our Lord Capitano-" - the moment the doctor turned his head around to tell you who saved your life, the Captain was already missing, as if he teleported away or secretly sneaked out of the bay.

"Weird, he was just here a second ago. I..I- you saw him right, right. I wasn't being delusional right? Oh dear Tsaritsa.." - Nikolaj was panicking because he's afraid his sanity is no longer intact while you just gave a non and a "mhm...".

Nikolaj finally stopped freaking out and plucked up the courage to ask you, not the Captain instead because let's be for real, everyone is afraid of the Captain, "So, what's the deal with you and our Lord Capitano. What's going on with you two?" - he asked frantically but excitedly.

"Huh??"

You were confused by his question, as you know nothing is going on between you and Capitano, you were rattled out.

"Oh come on now, I treated you alright? Tell me please, I'm a good secret keeper, my lips are fully sealed shut. Everyone saw the way our Lord carried you today, in my 10 year as the doctor for the Tsaritsa and the fatui, I never saw him talking except to the other harbingers or even carrying other girls TO THE TSARITSA'S PALACE and demanded a doctor who's executively reserved only for Fatui Harbingers to treat your wounds and even threaten to unalive me if I failed to treat you which he had never done before to me even when his comrade was on the verge of dying but thank the Tsaritsa he didn't. So tell me, what's the 99???" - Nikolaj pulled out a long explanation and is dying to know about you and the Captain.

But nothing is going on with you and the Captain, you tried telling Nikolaj that but to not avail, you just shook your head and closed your eyes and try to sleep while you hear Nikolaj yap about how amazing the Captain is but you were secretly listening to his yappings, you were secretly curious about how the Captain is. His traits, personality, strengths and also weakness.

You planned to use Nikolaj for a while to earn you your triumph card to escape.

You eventually got up and sat down on the bed, "Nikolaj, tell me about the Captain, his background, trait, personality. Is he cruel, mean, rude, powerful, competitive, a pervert, or what? Tell me since I have nothing to do right now, if I try to escape, I'd be as good as a piece of fowl right now."

You could see a smirking Nikolaj next to your bed, sitting on a spinning chair. He smirked wider until his face looked really weird.

He couldn't hold his wide smirk and eventually letted out a wide smile, "You are captivated by him." - Nikolaj  mentioned out loud while smirking and grinning, you were immediately shocked and were disbelieved that Nikolaj would think you are attracted to the Captain. You letted out a scoff, "I am not." - you replied back to him in a panicked and loud tone, Nikolaj was still smirking.

"you are"

"am not"

"you are"

"am not"

"you ARE"

"am NOT"

"Okay then tell me why did you suddenly got up from your sleep the moment I talked about him hmm?" - Nikolaj gave you a trick question while smirking. You didn't know what to reply with and you were speechless, you were baffled, your face yells the "What am I even saying right now" expression.

"Exactly. Girl just admit it, you are attracted to him but you refuse to acknowledge it so you are in denial!" - Nikolaj excitedly teased you although he wasn't teasing when he said you are attracted to the Captain.

Just when you two are getting comfortable with each other, the medical bay door barged open and then came another fatui harbinger you didn't recognize, she calls herself the Marionette, she walked in the medical bay with her gigantic robot. Her hair is a beige-colored medium-length bob with two long strands framing her face and she has blue-gray eyes and she walked in towards the medical bay so quietly and calm but also giving off creepy vibes with that robot too.

Nikolaj immediately got up and bowed down to her, "Welcome Lady Sandrone, how may I assist you?" - Nikolaj was ready to serve her since he already spent 10 years doing that.

"Stand up Nikolaj, I won't be here for long anyways. I'm just here to tell the girl that from now on, she will be confined to the palace. I don't know where, Capitano didn't want to tell me and I do not dare to question him any further but he "will make it a living hell" for the girl." - the Marionette announced this shocking news to you, you were shocked, your eyes widen, Nikolaj was also surprised but he didn't have a place to have a say in this matter. The Marionette's voice was so quiet, calm, and sent chills to your bones by a teensy bit. Her voice was soft but the Damselette's was softer, but Sandrone had more emotion and power in her voice. It was pretty creepy especially with that gigantic robot behind her staring at you all the time.

The Marionette got closer to you, held your chin forcefully and turned your face towards her while she is sitting on her robot, making her taller than you, she whispered "If you are still in Natlan, just assume this is the Stadium of Sacred Flames but better, bigger, and more sinful." - she whispered to you with a teasing tone and letted go of your chin, "Welcome to Snezhnaya <Y/N>." - and like that, she went out of the medical bay while showing a big grin and now, you are basically stranded in this nation alone. This is basically like Los Angeles but Teyvat version, you are so screwed, when the Marionette walked out, you and Nikolaj's eyes widened and stared at each other, trying to break down on what's happening right now. You are both speechless but you felt like your heart was punctured by a million tiny needles right now, you were at lost for words, not even words could describe how you are feeling right now.
