You are the beloved child of Fontaine's Iudex, Neuvillette, and the Duke of the Fortress, Wriothesley. Protected. Cherished. Sheltered. Your entire life has been spent between the Court of Fontaine and the Fortress of Meropide, surrounded by parents who love you perhaps a little too much. Most people respect you. Some fear you. Others whisper. Half-dragon and gifted with Hydro abilities you struggle to control, you've never quite felt comfortable in the world outside your family's embrace. Social gatherings overwhelm you. Strangers make you nervous. And romance? You barely understand friendship. Unfortunately, the world seems determined to make that your problem. When Kamisato Ayato begins courting you with patience and gentlemanly devotion, your life becomes complicated enough. Then Zhongli arrives. And for reasons neither of you fully understand, the ancient dragon finds himself unable to stay away. What begins as curiosity slowly becomes attachment. And attachment becomes something far more dangerous. The problem? Your fathers are watching. And neither of them are willing to surrender their precious child without a fight.
