"Is everyone okay?" Shoto and I exclaimed simultaneously as we appeared in the village.

"Izuku and Shinso got burned, but besides that we're fine," Katsuki said.

The crowd murmured. "It's the prince and princess. What are they doing here? They saved us!"

I healed Shinso and Izuku with my magic.

"Is everyone alright?" Shoto said. "If you're injured ___ and I can heal you."

"We put out the fire, but part of the village is damaged. I wish we would've gotten here sooner," I added on.

"At least we got here when we did," Ochako said.

After Shoto and I healed everyone, I took the time to help rebuild the village with my earth and stone magic, while Shoto and Kiri took care of all of the ice. By the end of the day, the burnt houses and roads were rebuilt with stone, and all the ice was cleared away.

"Thank you your majesties," People said as they gave us gifts for our help.

"If there is anything we can do to repay you, please let us know," A man said.

"We need to tell our father about this incident, and the person who did it. Is there someone here that can deliver the letter to him?" I said.

"My son, Princess. He is completely devoted to you and," He paused and whispered to me. "If I may say, he has a bit of a crush on you."

I giggled. "How cute. Please have him come to the inn we'll be staying at as soon as possible."

"Yes, Princess," he said before walking away.

I walked to the inn and walked to one of the rooms we rented, where the rest of the group was.

"Hey!"

"Great timing, I just finished the letter to father," Shoto said.

"I found someone to deliver it," I said before flopping on the bed, landing on top of Kiri and Katsuki. Katsuki groaned and Kiri laughed.

"You're heavy, get off!"

"She's not heavy," Kiri said before easily lifting me up with one arm. I squealed. "Put me down!"

"That's just you and your shitty dragon strength," Bakugo said.

Kiri shrugged and set me down on the bed. "So, what did you put into the letter?"

"I just wrote what happened here, and I told him about that guy."

"Dabi," I said. "He said his name was Dabi."

"I'll add that. He had black hair and burn marks, right?"

I nodded. There was a knock on the door, so I got up and opened it.

"P-princess ____," A guy said. He was tall and pale with white hair and red eyes, and a light blush spread across his cheeks. "My name is Tenko Shimura. I'm here to deliver your letter to the king."

I smiled. "Thank you, Tenko. Come on in."

"T-thank you, princess. I'm a big fan."

"Just call me ____," I said before opening the door wider. "Guys, this is Tenko."

I looked back at him, and he stood in a daze, staring at me. "Tenko?"

He smiled, kind of creepily, like.... like a smile doesn't fit his face.

"What the hell are you staring at?!" Katsuki snapped.

"Uh... sorry," he mumbled after he was snapped out of his trance.

I giggled. "I guess he's shy. His father said he's got a crush on me," I said while walking over to Shoto and signing the letter before Shoto put it into an envelope.

"Don't most commoners?" Shinso said.

I shrugged. "It's still cute," I said. "Too bad Izuku and Ochako went to sleep. They could've met him too."

"You're too nice. This guy has a job to do, he isn't here to mingle with us," Katsuki said.

"You're too mean," Shinso said. "But.. you're right."

"Oh shut the hell up."

"What did you say?" Shinso said.

"I said-"

"Hey her Kirishima!"

"Say no more," Kiri said before lifting me up with his arm.

"Put me down!" I squealed.

"Uhm," Tenko said.

"You're freaking out our guest!"

Kiri laughed and set me down. "He's not freaked out."

I stuck my tongue out at him and stomped away. "Meanie."

"You're so childish," Shinso said.

"Shut the hell up!" I exclaimed before taking the letter from Shoto and giving it to Tenko. "Deliver this to King Endeavor, okay? We would go ourselves, but we're going the opposite way of the kingdom."

"I understand, princess," he said as we walked to the door and I pulled out a small bag of shillings. "For your troubles."

"Could I," he paused. "maybe... get a kiss instead?"

"Absolutely not," Shoto said. I giggled and placed the bag of money in his hand, then stood on my tippy toes and kisses his cheek. "Please, dont fail. This is important information, that may save others."

"Of course, ____."

After he walked away, I plopped on my bed and yawned. "I'm tired."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tenko walked out of the village, letter in hand, and walked into the forest.

"Did you get it?"

"Yea," Tenko said before holding up the letter. A dark smoke surrounded it before it became nothing but ash that scattered into the wind. "This is the last time I take your orders, Dabi."

"Yea, well, this saved both our asses. If the king were to know about me, it would bring trouble to us both."

He rolled his eyes. "Well, my acting paid off. I got a kiss from the princess."

Dabi ran over to him and slammed him against the tree, blue flamed engulfed his hand and he held it close to his face. "Touch her again, and you're dead, Shigaraki," Dabi hissed. Shigaraki put his hand on Dabi's wrist and smirked.

"You sure you can win this?"

"Of course," he said with a scoff. "I'll kill anyone that dares to lay a finger on her."

"Why do you care? Do you have some kind of crush on the princess too?"
