*Tsaritsa*

The Tsaritsa was not someone who'd openly show how she felt. Love was shown through action, through silently staying where others would've left. You were the remnant of losing her love to the heavenly principles. Her child that had been by her side through the last thirteen years.

Being a gods child, an archon ones nonetheless was not always an easy task. For neither of you. You often had to hold back, being raised alongside fatui harbingers who were just as faithful to you as they were to your mother while she had to live in the worry of losing you alongside the man who had been your father. The Tsaritsa didn't always have time, she was the archon of teyvats coldest nation, yet she'd always make time when it mattered most to you. She wouldn't dare miss significant life events of the child she loved so dearly but was unable to show it.

You were just as known in shneznaya, an archon couldn't hide their child for long. It was not to argue that you were the most protected child in shneznaya, no one would dare lay a finger on their archons child, the consequences would be inevitable. No one had dared for the last thirteen years. You had grown up with constant protection, no town visit was unaccompanied. Whether it was trained staff or one of the fatui harbingers taking you along when your mother was busy, no one would risk you vanishing.

Growing up as a gods child also came with responsibility, growing with you. Sitting in harbinger meetings and councils deciding over shneznayas present and future. It was nothing unordinary to you. You had grown up around it, you knew no other life.

It was the day of another public event, one where the archon herself was required to attend, so were you by her side. Something she made time for ahead. The Tsaritsa would always ensure to personally help you prepare beforehand, no matter how cold she seemed to most, you've always felt she loved you dearly. Even if it was little actions such as helping you with your hair before such outings.
