Kate (Bakugou Katsuki x OC) (Royal AU) Part 3

Part 3

For @Kk_frostbite

Well shit... he really wasn't expecting to be ambushed by a bunch of tiny brats. Each of whom was excitedly asking for him to make them knights and asking why he was here. He came here to find the phantom thief and he found him- erm... her. But now he was might lose her thanks to these annoying ass kids!!

The hallway was filled with the sound of clapping and all the kids immediately froze. Their heads whipped around to look at who had been making the sound and Bakugou saw it was the thief herself. She shook her head and placed her hands onto her hips and gave the kids a frown.

"This mostly certainly isn't how the mistress and I raised you all to treat guests, now is it?" She scolded them lightly. "Now remove yourselves from the prince and ask him your questions in a polite manner."

Bakugou's eyes flashed up to the girl. He didn't trust her. This would be the perfect way for her to give him the slip- but... why did she get the kids off him if that was the case? It would have been easier for her to escape when he was practically being held down by a bunch of brats.

"If you could give us a few more moments of your time, your highness." She spoke to him. "Then we can continue discussing the reason for your visit here today."

He scoffed and turned his gaze to the kids. They all were looking at him with bright eyes and hopeful eyes. It seemed they really did fucking get excited to see their kingdom's prince here. Fine... he'd entertain these brats so he could not cause a scene like this thief so clearly was subtlety asking him to.

Even so, he kept his eye on her. Thieves were cunning and crafty after all and she could very much be trying to use these brats as a means to distract him. He'd be damned to let her humiliate him again!

Despite his eyes narrowing in suspicion of her, the woman stayed the entire time. Mediating the children and him it appeared, as she shut down questions that Bakugou clearly did not want to answer or couldn't. Such as ones about if he had found a wife and not if the literal seven-year-old could fill that position when she was older.

But eventually, the kids all seemed to be pulled away from their fascination with the royal when a bell chimed. They all screamed in delight and hurried off towards a hallway that led to a large room.

"Kate, if you want food I'd hurry to the-"

A woman with grey hair and glasses made her way towards the same hallway. She looked at the young man next to her second in command and appeared to nearly have a heart attack. Immediately she was on her knees and bowing to him.

"Oi. Get up." Bakugou told her, never liking this practice of bowing to someone based solely on their blood relations.

The old woman did so and muttered an apology under her breath. She turned to look at Kate and gave her a shocked expression.

"When you said you found someone to possibly fund our children's home... I never thought it would be the prince himself!"

Kate chuckled awkwardly. "Ah well... he hasn't agreed yet."

The old woman chuckled and looked back at Bakugou. "Well... we appreciate all the food and money for it you've been donating. Its kept the children here happy."

With that, the headmistress left to oversee the meal about to be served. Once more, it was just the prince and his phantom thief. Kate closed her eyes and waited to be taken out and thrown into the stocks. But as the seconds passed, nothing happened.

She opened her eyes again and looked at the prince, only to see he was looking at her.

"That why you've been doing shit at night?" He asked of her. "Cause the brats wouldn't be able to fucking eat otherwise."

Kate nodded. "Yes, your highness."

Bakugou inhaled and then shook his head. "Fuck sake..."

Kate watched as he turned his gaze to her once more and gave her a long and harsh stare. She squeaked lightly, having lost all her confidence now that he was here and before her. Not that she had much courage, to begin with... being as shy as she was...

"I-I never intended to harm you or anyone! I-I just couldn't watch as the kids were told we had nothing for lunch or that their portions were once again getting cut! It was miserable... and so, I did what I had to do! I promise it wasn't because I-"

"Fucking shut it."

Kate did so right away and tears cornered in her eyes. Bakugou let out a low sound, almost like a growl, and then clicked his tongue. Kate watched as he started to dig through one of his pockets and saw him take something out of his pocket.

He motioned for Kate to open her hands and she did so. A small pendant was placed in her hands and her eyes widened. This was... the mark of the royal! It was only given to people or places that had the blessing of the royal family.

"Don't fucking let me catch you doing shit like that again or I'm revoking that!" The prince warned her. "That shitty ass piece of jewelry will let you buy what you fucking need and I'll take care of it."

"R-Really?" Kate blinked and saw the prince nod.

"Just fucking stop scaring the shit out of people at night." He told her and made for the door.

"Y-Your highness!" Kate called out as loud as she could, though it was quiet compared to the prince's normal voice.

"What?!" He nearly screamed at her.

"Thank you." She smiled gently and curtsied to him.

Bakugou merely turned and walked out, trying to not focus on how that smile had made him feel flush. His job was done... and he had hopefully also just helped someone who needed it. Even if she still was doing funny things to his head and heart.
