#ZhongChi #鍾タル Emperor, Alpha!Zhongli x Concubine, Omega!Childe part 2. Cw: murder and blood. Part 1 linked here.
As thing slowly died down, Zhongli started having more time again. Although the power struggle was still raging on, Zhongli couldn’t really do much.

He could only send a couple of spies out and wait for their information.
With the extra free time, Zhongli spent most of it with Childe. The omega was certainly quite happy about it. He was glad that he meant something to Zhongli.

With the extra free time, Zhongli spent most of it with Childe. The omega was certainly quite happy about it. He was glad that he meant something to Zhongli.
They grew close enough for Zhongli to become
touchy. In private, he’d hug Childe, pressing his lips against his nape.
Childe didn’t mind, it was warm in Zhongli’s arms.
But afterwards, Childe found himself interrogated and questioned by many. Asking if he was close to the emperor or if there were anything between them.

But afterwards, Childe found himself interrogated and questioned by many. Asking if he was close to the emperor or if there were anything between them.
Many came to threaten him, telling him to stay away from Zhongli.
The first couple of times that happened to him, Childe paid no heed, even challenging them sometimes. Of course that was a bad idea but Childe hated how people thought they could win Zhongli over by getting rid of
The first couple of times that happened to him, Childe paid no heed, even challenging them sometimes. Of course that was a bad idea but Childe hated how people thought they could win Zhongli over by getting rid of
rivals.
These selfish people didn’t seem to care if Zhongli ended up being miserable.
He wasn’t afraid until they finally came for him.
Childe was forced by both Zhongli and the royal physician to not take anymore heat suppressants. As a result, his heat became unbearable.

Childe was forced by both Zhongli and the royal physician to not take anymore heat suppressants. As a result, his heat became unbearable.
His body felt so hot and everything felt sore and painful. And he felt so, so weak.
As Zhongli drew close to Childe’s room, he could smell the sweet scent. He usually could resist it, given he hadn’t actually touched any of the omega concubines in the palace but this one was
As Zhongli drew close to Childe’s room, he could smell the sweet scent. He usually could resist it, given he hadn’t actually touched any of the omega concubines in the palace but this one was
intoxicating.
“Baobei.” Zhongli called out softly as he stepped into Childe’s room. The bundle of blankets on Childe’s bed shifted and his head popped out.
His face was red and he breathed heavily. His blue eyes were half lidded as he looked at Zhongli.
“Zhongli…”

“May I sit next to you?” Zhongli asked and Childe nodded.
The omega lifted open his blanket for Zhongli.
The alpha held him close, breathing in the scent that smelled like the ocean breeze and coconut.
“Are you okay? Do you need anything?”

The alpha held him close, breathing in the scent that smelled like the ocean breeze and coconut.
“Are you okay? Do you need anything?”
“You.” Childe blurted out as he
pressed himself against Zhongli.
Zhongli certainly did not expect such an answer. And he truly did want to take Childe right there and then. But he knew he shouldn’t. It was not right to take advantage of an omega in heat.
“Please?” Childe whimpered.

Zhongli shook his head, “you don’t know what you’re saying. If you still want me after your heat, then maybe we’ll figure something out.”
Childe whimpered but did not argue.

Zhongli decided to stay for the rest of the night, caring for the omega while he rested. And thankfully,
he chose to stay, because Childe’s rivals chose to strike that night.
Zhongli took no chances when they were attacked. He used his power, his weapon, even shifting to his adeptus form to protect the omega. Anyone who stepped a little too close would be murdered.

But even he could get outnumbered.
A foolish assassin thought that he should get rid of the threat before going after the target. He approached Zhongli from behind while he was busy with someone else.
Childe saw that, and he couldn’t let that happen. He grabbed a comb and
A foolish assassin thought that he should get rid of the threat before going after the target. He approached Zhongli from behind while he was busy with someone else.
Childe saw that, and he couldn’t let that happen. He grabbed a comb and
pounced at the assassin with the energy he had left, driving the sharp end right through his throat.
A swift death for the assassin but Childe kept stabbing anyway. It was a habit to make sure the thing he has killed is truly dead.
“Tartaglia, he’s dead. They are all dead.”

Zhongli said softly as he gently pulled Childe away from the bloody body. The omega was shaking at the sight of his room now covered with blood.
He gripped the comb so tight that his knuckles turned white.
“I’m sorry—“ Childe sobbed as he came to his senses. He hated that

Zhongli had to see him in this state. To see him kill. Now the emperor knew that he wasn’t a soft and gentle concubine. He was a person capable of murder.
“Shhh, it’s okay. You protected me. Thank you.” Zhongli reassured softly, cradling Childe in his arms.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t
“Shhh, it’s okay. You protected me. Thank you.” Zhongli reassured softly, cradling Childe in his arms.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t
mean to kill. I’m sorry, I’m not who I seem to be. I’m sorry, I didn’t want to fall into the abyss…” Childe repeated over and over, “…please don’t leave me.”
“It’s okay, I know. I won’t leave you.” Zhongli replied softly.
It took a while for Childe to finally calm down. After
“It’s okay, I know. I won’t leave you.” Zhongli replied softly.
It took a while for Childe to finally calm down. After
all the adrenaline and anxiety, Childe became terribly exhausted. He was still in his heat and he needed rest.
Zhongli took care of him, taking him for a quick bath before bringing him to his own resting chamber.

Zhongli took care of him, taking him for a quick bath before bringing him to his own resting chamber.
As he watched the curled up omega sleep, he couldn’t help but
think about what he learnt that night.
The determination and coldness in Childe’s eyes when it came to protecting him. It was a stark contrast from the usual, kind and cheerful person he knew.
Perhaps Childe was more suited for the role than he thought. In fact, Childe
The determination and coldness in Childe’s eyes when it came to protecting him. It was a stark contrast from the usual, kind and cheerful person he knew.
Perhaps Childe was more suited for the role than he thought. In fact, Childe
probably had experience meddling in the dark side of a country.
Zhongli made up his mind as he gently kissed the back of Childe’s head.
He’ll marry Childe and if all goes well, the ginger will be the new empress.
[Part 2 END]
