To err is human; to forgive divine: A most blasphemous saying indeed, when the Fatui do not forgive, nor forget. You have incurred the wrath of a Fatui Harbinger - and Pantalone is a patient man, after all.
Taking refuge in Inazuma, you, with your ever-fickle disposition, catch the much coveted attention of Kamisato Ayato, who offers not wealth or power, but safety in exchange for a small price: assist him in unsavoury political dealings behind the scene, and in the shadows cast by the spotlighted stage; become his sword and shield in return for stability. An ad-hoc expedient, you both agree - but why is it that you feel less of a war machine when it's him giving the orders?
Of course, such is irrelevant when it is only a matter of time before hounds of past sin come back to bite. So exuviate the past and masquerade with nothing short of levity until the final curtain falls, lest the vicious audience grow jaded of your performance.

"Apologize," he said seriously as he leaned on his table while his arms are folding on his chest.

You always wanted to travel and explore Teyvat but your strict parent won't let you go out. As soon as your mother got engaged with the head of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, she let you out freely for the first time. You were supposed to go to Inazuma first with Thoma but unfortunately, you were robbed so you were stuck in Inazuma and you became one of the maids in Kamisato Estate. They are not aware that you were the first daughter of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, even your close friend, Thoma. (This fanfic is written before Kamisato Ayato's official release on the game)
I do not own Genshin Impact and their characters. This is an Ayato x Fem Reader fanfic, to be specific.
(This fic is mainly enemies to lovers trope)
