Chapter 3

"good night Paimon"

"good night~"

As soon as Paimon went to sleep, I waited for a couple of minutes before sneaking out of the cabin we stayed in for the night before we could move along to venture into the world tomorrow.

I took a deep breath as I smell the fresh air, I really love looking at the stars, it was our favorite hobby. Lumine and I would lay down on the grass and stare at them but now that she's not here with me, it almost feels like we're still together watching the starry night sky.

"...where are you Lumine..."

I mumbled, I close my eyes and felt the cold breeze, that's when I heard a crunching sound. I immediately stood up and draw my sword, "...what are you doing in here?" I said as my words were filled with venom, Childe raises both of his hands as a sign of surrender but that wasn't enough for me to put my sword near his neck.

"easy now Shonen~ I'm just here to have a nice conversation with you"

Childe said but as usual, I will never trust his tempting words, I click my tongue and continue to glare at him.

"what for? to deceive me again"

I said filled with suspicion, Childe sigh as he drops both of his hands. His expression suddenly change which made me feel weird out since he always wore a playful smile, "I'm not one to apologize but...I'm sorry I guess?" Childe said but I could clearly see he was cringing over it.

I frown, I put my sword away and turned around as I started to walk away, "Shonen! where are you going?" Childe exclaimed, he cached up to me pretty quickly, curse those fine long legs of his.

I click my tongue again, "are you sorry for trying to deceive me? kill me? or about Liyue?" I said looking at him, Childe flinches, he scratches the back of his neck as he played with his mask that sat on top of his head.

"uh?...killing you?...."

I click my tongue once more, his voice gave it all away, Childe was a Fatui and I can no longer trust someone like him after almost destroying Liyue and the people, the jade Palace that Miss Ningguang built with her own power. It makes me angry to think he could just laugh it off as if it was nothing to him, "you're seriously annoying..." I mumbled before turning my back at him and walk away but before I could I was suddenly pulled by my wrist which caused me to stop in my tracks.

I sigh, "can you please let go?"I said to him, "don't be like this Shonen..." Childe said but this time his voice sounded sad, an unknown feeling that was slowly growing inside me was weird, I turned around.

"...I'm getting tired so please let go"

I said once more but Childe didn't listen to me, he then slowly rested his head against my shoulder which causes me to tense up a little.

"you're making me sad Shonen," Childe said, I blushed and immediately diverted my eyes from him.

AUTHOR POV.

Aether took a deep breath, "what is it you want from me? are you asking me for another favor that you could use for your next scheme?" Aether said crossing his arms over his chest, Childe bit the bottom of his lips.

Although Aether yearned to hear his sincere apology after hearing his apology, he had to give up on him.

"...um...tomorrow are you still reconsidering?" Childe said, he thought it was a stupid idea asking him this but he had no choice, Aether turned around looking at Childe suspiciously.

"what do you mean?..."

"um...I want to travel together with you..."
