⚠ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠

⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇

You were so angry at what occurred before. You just couldn't believe that all just happened, but supposedly it did anyway. You storm down the hallways in fury, mumbling all sorts of curses, but who was there to hear you mumbling who knows what? Right, no one. While you were walking down the hallways, you arrived in the dining room to see your mother, Anastasia, waiting for you.

"Y/n, you're here!" Anastasia enthusiastically says. "Please, join me for breakfast." You hastily walk to the chair next to her and sit down beside her. During the time that you were waiting for breakfast, all the other royal families sat down at the table. The royal family that had to sit right next to you, was you guess it! Queen Nahida and Prince Alhaitham from Sumeru. You rolled your eyes as you try to move away.

Since Alhaitham was sitting right next to you, he had to pick up unwanted small talk. But lets be honest, it was probably his mother's suggestion to even talk to you anyway.

"Princess Y/n! How are you faring this morning?" Alhaitham asks. It was pretty obvious that he was quite nervous to talk to you after what happened at the dinner date. After all, you did ditch him.

"Oh, good..." You mumble as you try to avoid conversation. Alhaitham seems a bit hurt by your response, as you didn't seem interested in the conversation. He probably wasn't interested either, but his mother was sitting right next to him watching his every move.

"Well that's good." He awkwardly chuckles. Alhaitham leans back in his chair, giving up on trying to make conversation with you.

After the small conversation as Alhaitham sat down, all the other royal families sat one by one around the dining table. Guess who was right in front of you? The indigo haired boy sat down right across from you, with his mother by his side. He had a glare, full of malice. The glare sent a shiver right down your spine. You quickly glanced away to avoid Scaramouche's gaze. Suddenly, you then hear your mother, Anastasia speak.

"Where is King Venti?" Anastasia asks as she looks around trying to find him and his two daughters. King Zhongli raises his hand slightly as he draws Anastasia's attention.

"King Venti has already departed Sneznhaya for Mondstadt." Zhongli informs. Anastasia looks a bit annoyed by this answer.

"Already?! Why?" Anastasia asks angrily. You then begin to zone out from eavesdropping the conversation that you weren't apart of. Throughout the time you were eavesdropping you could feel someone staring at you. It made you extremely uncomfortable, but you were too scared to look around to see who was looking at you. You heard briefs of King Venti leaving immediately, because of some issues in his kingdom. You looked over at Anastasia, she had a frown on her face. You sigh as you glance back at Scaramouche. Instead of having that piercing gaze of malice, it was replaced with a mocking smirk.

"What is he smirking at?" You thought. You shrug it off as it was nothing important. You then realise that it could've been him that was stare at you. You glanced over at him once more with a scowl. His mischievous smirk didn't change once. In fact, it only grew bigger as you looked at him. As if his self-esteem was rising because you were even in the same room as him. But you can never tell what he's thinking. You just can't.
