Enigma

Past

Celeste grabbed Shinsou's hand and they walked through a doorway to a long hallway, up a staircase and through a large door.
"This is my bedroom. Sorry about before, it's been a while since I've been back and I guess people missed me. You can stay here I need to-"
"- I'm coming with you."
"I-what?!" She yelled at him in shock. "Y-you can't! This is going to be a battle ground it's not- you won't be-"
"I'll be fine. But tell me, WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
Celeste burst out laughing as he looked at her with wide confused eyes.
"I guess I do owe you an explanation huh? Very well. Come here."
She said patting the place besides her on the large bed.
"I am Crown Princess Celeste Griffin of the Hidden Bermuda Island. My parents...were King Richard and Queen Arlene, and my sister was princess Crystal. They're all...dead." she started, only to feel a hand on her shoulder from Shinsou as a sign of support." I only have my aunt and uncle left now, they rule here until I'm of age to take the throne. I went to U.A to get away from this place and live a normal life. The people here are...different. We all have some specific 'evil' quirk that can cause a lot of damage, hence why we live in secret. When my mom came here, she came as a diplomat from the outside world. Japan tried to help us open our borders. My dad liked the idea of helping others with our formally "evil quirks" and the thought that we could be a democracy and not an isolated monarchy. Fate be it, the king with a demon quirk and the diplomat with an angel quirk fell in love and became the rulers of this kingdom." Celeste looked at her balcony with a far off smile that soon clouded."They were working to make it a democracy, until they were murdered by the opposition. People will always oppose the unknown. Some of the provinces and richer people thought that their money and power would be taken away when we became a democracy and formed armies to fight against us. My uncle has held strong relations with Japan to help us transition, but they cannot interfere with our internal affairs. Until these oppositions stop, we can't peacefully transition to a democracy. Once we transition I will step down from my throne and become a hero, that's why I wanted to go to U.A. As crown princess however, while I am not ruling,I still have the highest blood relation to the throne and must defend my people in battle. So, that's why I'm here." Celeste exhaled after that long explanation and looked over at the purple haired boy.
"That answers everything?"
"Y-yes. But why has the opposition lasted so long?"
"It hasn't, before my father died there was almost no opposition, but they've been getting help from an outside force and they're numbers have increased too much for the royal knights to keep up. So it's up to me to find out what's going on and fix it."
Celeste got up from the bed and gently tapped a button on the side of her night table. "Please bring my gear and the tailor to my room, thank you."
She turned back to the boy and smiled. "You're going to be fitted for a fireproof outfit sir."
"What why?"
"Most people here have fire related quirks, so if you're not already fire proof we need to make your clothes fireproof."
"Fair enough, but what about you?"
Celeste giggled and opened the grand door where two maids with items and an older man walked in.
"Bold of you to assume I'm not already fireproof."
"Your Highness." The tailor and maids bowed.
"Stop that, you all know that it's just Celeste or Cel." She huffed.
The maids and tailor looked at her and smiled. "We missed you, Princess Celeste."
Celeste sighed and smiled. "Close enough."
"Measurements for the young sir, yes?" The tailor stated, walking around Shinsou.
"Yes please George, and maybe retake some of mine? I think I grew out of this." She said holding up the old dress that was now shorter than her thighs.
"Yea I don't think that'll fit anymore." Shinsou agreed.
The maids gave a small curtsey and left after Celeste sent them to grab something. The tailor finished taking his measurements on both teens and pressed his hands together.
"Le, voila!" He said as he pulled two perfect outfits from his skin, almost like Yaoyorozu's quirk. "Finished my lady, is there anything not to your liking?"
Celeste looked over both outfits and looked at Shinsou for his thoughts.
"Looks fine."
"Thank you George!" She said hugging the older man who bowed and left.
