Golden evening of Teyvat. The sun was almost setting. Xiao and Scaramouche were finishing their training on the training field. Being the heirs of two empires was very difficult. Their duty was to hone their skills in combat, riding, politics and other things. The alphas are very tired of this. Being future emperors is hard, but they are the successors, Xiao will take Liyue from his father Zhongli, and Scaramouche will take Inazuma from Ei.

Xiao looked at Scaramouche, which wiped his sword. They were exhausted from training. It was not easy to be future emperors, considering that they will have exams with Zhongli and Ei present. Xiao thought about rest. They had been on their feet all day. It would be nice to go to the hamam and wash up first, they were sweaty and sore. Scaramouche looked at his sword and rough fingers. How much they had fought today... From alpha slaves to alpha nobles who were quite good at wielding weapons. Xiao put his hand on Scaramouche's shoulder.

Xiao: Hey, Scara... How about we clean ourselves up and go to Aether? I think we should visit him after such a long time.

Scaramouche: That would be great. How I want to see him...

Then, in childhood, little emperors met young omega on a walk with their mothers. At that time, Aether didn’t have a name and like any omega in the harem, he was given a name. Surprisingly, they became friends at the initiative of Miko and Guizhong. They spent quite a lot of time together back then. Later, Aether became friends with the imperial family, especially with Hu Tao and Gayun.

They left the battlefield, putting their swords in the sheaths on their belts, and headed to the hamam. After tidying themselves up, the future emperors went to the harem. It was already evening, the guards were on duty, everyone was on the alert. Upon seeing them, they immediately bowed.

Guardian: Future emperors Scaramouche and Xiao, welcome!

Scaramouche smirked contentedly, and Xiao rolled his eyes. It would be nice to spend the night in the company of a beautiful omega, but while they aren't yet on the throne, the harem wasn't at their disposal. First, main task was find Aether. He could be in the hallway chatting with other omegas, although the kalfa probably put all omegas to bed already. They entered the golden palace — harem, their footsteps echoing on the quartz floor. It was late, but a couple of omegas were sitting in the corridor and by the rule bowed before the future emperors. Finally they found Aether's room, Scaramouche entered first.

Scaramouche: Hey, Aether, the future emperors have come to visit you.

Xiao: ...Are you here?
