Shangri La Pt. 1

10: Greetings

The Todoroki knights and the Prince stood right at the gate as the men guarding the gate had recognized their crest right away and knew to let these men pass through. 

All of them went through the gates and were amazed at how different the culture was the second they saw how the houses were built differently. 

The people that they could see were dressed completely differently and they all seemed surprised at how different they looked themselves. 

"This is a lot different than the West, that's for sure." Sero said. 

Though all of the knights seemed a bit surprised, the only people that weren't were the Prince, Katsuki and Gin, as they've all come across people of the East before.

Before they knew it, they were standing right at the stairway leading to the Yaoyorozu Temple, in all it's gold and red glory. 

"It's huge!!!" 

"This is nothing compared to the Todoroki Castle!" Kaminari and Kirishima yelled. 

"Welcome to our region of the land, Todoroki Kingdom!!!" 

All of them looked up to see a tall man dressed in shiny robes of gold and red and he wore a Hanfu on his head. 

The Prince knew right away who this majestic and loud man was, he was the Emperor of the Yaoyorozu Clan.

"It's such a good thing to see such noble men come all the way here to our region and bring peace to both sides." the Emperor said, walking down the steps. 

The Prince realized how they had yet to greet this man of Royalty, and he quickly bowed to the man. The knights watched their Prince bowing to this man and soon ended up doing the same, even if it wasn't the same formal bow that everyone in the East does to their high Ruler. 

While they all bowed, Katsuki had to keep his eyes alert, as he had no idea if he was going to see or detect the woman he came across just days prior.

"No need for us to stay out here, come, we have everything settled for you and your men, Young Prince." the Emperor said, turning around and heading straight towards the temple. 

"Is it okay for us to follow?" Kaminari whispered. 

"Why wouldn't it? You see all those men on the stairways?" Gin said, pointing out all the men on the stairs as they wore what looked like armor, but it was designed completely different from the West's armor. 

"Yeah?" 

"As long as we keep ourselves calm and not make them misjudge us, we should be fine." Gin said. 

"You guys are just too slow." Katsuki said, who followed the Prince right after the Emperor took the lead. 

"Why's Bakugo in such a rush?" 

"Yeah, he's been acting strange since we started heading here." Kirishima and Kaminari said. 

'I'm sure if they found out he's looking for a girl, they would laugh at him, so we'll just keep our mouth shut for now.' Gin thought.

"They're coming, it's the knights of the Todoroki Kingdom and the Prince!" Uraraka yelled. The Princess was already nervous, but once she heard that the new company arrived, she could feel herself shaking. 

"Calm down, Princess, we'll be just fine." Jiro said. 

"R-Right..." 

'What does this Prince look like anyway? I've heard things about him and his face, but I've never seen it. I was told he doesn't look like your normal handsome Prince... Oh what am I saying?!? This is an Arranged Marriage that you didn't want to be a part of to begin with!' Momo thought, trying not to freak out.
