    Summary

    “Look at me, child,” the Tsaritsa murmurs, and runs her fingers down Tartaglia’s cheek. He meets her silver eyes and feels lighter somehow. “Would you travel to Liyue for me? Answer.”

    “Yes. Anywhere,” he answers.

    “Would you claim Morax’s gnosis for me? Would you slay him if need be? Answer.”

    “Yes,” he breathes, giddy at the prospect.

    She grips his face, fingers like rusty nails.

    “I have sent a proposal of your hand in marriage to Morax’s court. It has already been accepted. You sail for Liyue in one week. The beast will wed the beast, creep in close, and wait to strike. Do you understand? Answer.”

    “Of course, my queen,” he hears his voice say, but his mind says, What?

    ~

    Tartaglia is wed to the Sunset Emperor of Liyue.
