Please read the edit. Getting multiple questions asking if (y/n) is a child or not can get... I made this edit for a reason so that there is no misunderstanding ;-; Some people just start reading the story without reading the edit which can cause that misunderstanding. So if you don't want any misunderstandings about (y/n) being a child then read the edit. Thank you.
Edit: The pronoun is put that you are a child because since this is a gender neutral book it would be long to type son/daughter. You can be any age you want.
You are the child to the owner of the Yanshang Teahouse. Your parents went out and will be back late at night.
You are in your room reading a book until you heard a door open. Being a good child, you went out of your room to go greet them. The whole room is dark with a small light coming from the main room. You decided to peek through but what you heard froze you right at the door.
"Excellent. Even if one day we can't continue business here, we can make it far away with this." You heard your father talking to one of the servants of the teahouse.
"But Master, what about the debt?". You heard the lady speak. You never knew your father would have done something like that. He always tells you that he will fund for you. Little did you know that money was from the Fatui.
"Oh yes, I'm here to collect that." You then heard another voice. A young man presumably. You were to scared to move or run away so you just stood by the door, eavesdropping.
That's when you heard the servant called the guards to protect your father. Some guards came from the front entrance. You quickly hid by a cabinet so that no one sees you. You saw the guards went into the main room to protect your father. Due to curiosity, you decided to peek again by the door.
"Is that not the law of the God of Contracts in Liyue?" the young man spoke again. He's not wrong there but why didn't father tell you any of this?
"Fatui?! Y-You can't just barge into a private residence! Guards! Show him how we treat unwelcome guests at Yanshang Teahouse!" Your father said with a shaky voice.
The young man spoke again and a commotion happened in the room. Your hands covered your mouth to prevent any sound escaping. You were shaking. It's the Fatui. They do whatever they want even if it means killing.
You than heard the footsteps of the man coming closer towards the door. You tried to tiptoe your way back to your room. You than heard another pair of footsteps. "There's more of them?!" you thought in your head. Before you could make your way fully to your room. The door swung open and a man with oranges hair with a mask by the side noticed you.
"Why hello there. I guess the Liyue, The walls have ears, is true now." The young man spoke. You were terrified. You didn't know what to do.
"Come now, I'm sure your father must have told you about hidden treasure that he keeps?" The man spoke again. You gulp. You weren't sure what he meant but you did see your father hiding treasure somewhere before. You than heard your father.
"Don't you dare tell him (Y/N)." Your father said in a weak voice. You didn't want to disobey your father. So you took a step back closer towards the window.
"My, my, I didn't want to do it but I guess I don't have a choice. Seems like I have to collect the debt one way or another." The young man said and made a knife with his vision pointing it to your father's neck. You took a deep breath staring at him. You were scared. Should you save your father or should you run away? But that was thrown out the window when you heard something you never thought he would say.
"Take my child instead!" Your father said. Your heart sank hearing the words of your father. How could he.
"I'm not here for your child, Master. I'm here for the money." The young man said before killing your father. You stood there stunned at what went down. Should you cry for what your father said or should you not? The man walked towards you. "Now it's your turn to decide. Tell me where's the treasure." His voice held poison. You nodded your head and led the way.
You moved the shelf that was blocking the hidden hole that your father made. There was a box there and you took the cover off revealing The Sigil of Permission. You were shocked. You never knew your father had this hidden. The man took The Sigil of Permission from you nicely due to not wanting to damage it.
"I never would have thought that an ordinary person had a Sigil Of Permission in their possession. It's been years since anyone has seen one of these.." The other man wearing a black cloak over his head.
"Your job is debt collection, yet you failed to check what treasure he possessed that you might collect?" The young man said to the other.
"Apologies, a dereliction of my duty.." The man with a cloak said.
"Enough, let's go." The young man said.
You thought you were free when the other man asked the younger man.
"What about the child. Shall we eliminate them?" He questioned the young man. You started freaking out again. You're going to die you thought. You closed your eyes in fear waiting to be killed knowing that there was no way out.
"What's your name?" The young man ask.
You were to afraid that the two man couldn't hear a thing."Fine. I'll introduce myself. I'm Childe. Don't worry I don't think I'll kill you. It's nice of you to bring us to your father's treasure." Childe said. You took the courage to say your name out louder.
"My name is.. (Y-Y/N)." You stuttered due to the fear.
"What a beautiful name. It will go to shame to kill you." Childe replied.
"Sir, sorry to disturb but we need to head back to the Northland Bank to report this." The other man said.
"Go wait outside." Childe ordered him. The man nodded and headed outside. You didn't know what Childe will do to you but you were scared.
"This sigil clearly is more than enough to pay his debt but I don't think I'm satisfied. Maybe you shall pay up his debt. Come with me." Childe said walking closer towards you. You turned towards him shaking. He kneeled down and whisper in your ear.
" You're adorable did you know that? Maybe I should keep you for my own. How about that?"
You finally saw his features He was tall and slender. You have to admit he is really, really handsome.
He noticed you staring and took your hand.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'll just have to keep you as mine. Only mine understand? Let's go."
You nodded your head. He pulled you up and walked you out. His hand still in yours. Everything escalated so quickly. "Did I just accept this guy's request!?" You thought in your head. But honestly speaking even if you did try to pay you doubt you had enough. Maybe going with him should be better. Your father was willing to give you to them to pay his debt anyways.
~A year later~
Being Childe's assistant wasn't as bad as you thought. The Fatui was hesitant but accepted you like their own. You help Childe locate the locations of people with their unpaid debt and it was fun. Maybe being with the Fatui changed you but that's a good thing to you.
"Hey, doll~" A pair of hands wrapped around your waist. "Sorry, I came home late." You knew the voice that took you away from that teahouse.
"Took you long enough but it's alright, love." You looked up at him and kissed his chin.
Life did get way much better if it wasn't for Childe taking you away. "You must have been lonely waiting for me, no?" He ask you. You hummed as your reply. He took you by surprise and carried you to your shared bedroom.
"Well since you did waited patiently for me, I'll reward you, doll~"
