Childe could feel himself suffocate. He couldn't believe he been Zhongli pawn all this time, he was so shocked that it took all his power to keep his composure in place. He looks at Zhongli and Signora who were talking about the contract to the Traveler, Childe can do nothing but keep quiet. Staring at the ground, like the pawn he was. After all Zhongli didn't care about Childe, he was just an other Chess pice in his stupid mind tricking game. Unlike the Traveler who actually catched up with the lies and rules of the ex archon game from the very beginning.
