Money. Mora. Wealth. Three things that every resident of Teyvat, if not every creature, dreams of. But was there happiness in money? Is love in money? Some will say yes, some will say no, and some will just sarcastically start counting their mora. And someone will look at his wife, smiling, and answer that she needs money and needs love. Is it possible to be happy when you are not loved?
...Yes. Possible. And one of the proofs is Pantalone. His great status, strength and power, influence. Once he was so poor that he had to look for the last worms in the soil just to survive, and now he is one of the richest men in Teyvat. And love? Who needs it.
That's what he thought. Until he met you. Just one glance from you makes his knees tremble in love, and his fingers shyly run through his black wavy locks. His hands are sweating in excitement, and his eyes glance around the room. And he was absolutely sure that he was your only candidate for a loved one with whom you would spend the rest of your life. Until he met you with some man chatting so happily with him. Were you friends? Perhaps even the best? The hand clenches into a fist out of jealousy. Jealousy, why can’t he be with you too? He's just afraid of scaring you off, or that you're just using him for money.
Since that time, he sent you gifts almost every day - flowers, invitations to luxury parties, to operas, theaters, performances, jewelry with your initials, and once even gave you the most elegant sword that you have ever seen in your life, so you can protect yourself while he's not around.
When you meet, seemingly by chance, Pantalone approaches you with a gentle smile, a soft blush blooming on his pale cheeks. He gently takes your hand in his, kissing the back of it softly as a greeting. In his other hand he has a lovely bouquet of expensive flowers, exactly 101 flowers. Behind him stood some of Fatui's soldiers, only grinning at how in love their Ninth Harbinger was.
“Hello, my star.. Will you give these flowers, and me, a chance?"
