Izuku whined louder as Kendo tried to drag him out of the bed for maybe the millionth time that afternoon. Katsuki had to leave early in the morning to prepare for the feast and also to properly greet the future King of Noa along with the current King of Noa. Now that Izuku was stable and protected, he felt secure enough to leave his side but he made sure that Izuku was not left alone. Izuku understood that the blond had to leave at some point. It would not look good if neither the Duke or the Duchess greeted them officially. But the greenette's dilemma was something else, he had told Katsuki that he would be attending the feast but as time got closer to the moment he had to start getting ready, he was starting to regret his decision to attend the feast and was trying to hide under the duvet. But Kendo was not having it.

"Your grace you have to get up and out of the bed. You said you would join and face them with your head held high. You cannot hide now." She huffed as she grabbed the duvet and yanked it away pulling a loud whine from the greenette.

"Nooo. I can't face them! I am so humiliated!" Izuku whined hiding under a pillow which Kendo yanked away as well.

"I will yank the entire bed from you if I have to Izuku." Kendo huffed. Izuku gave her a fading glare and sat up huffing. Kendo only used his name as a warning whenever he was trying to avoid or hide away and Kendo was not having it. Izuku begrudgingly got off the bed and stood in front of her with a pout. Kendo smile with an amused expression on her face and gestured for the maids to help the Duchess into the tub.

"You are adorable your grace but I am not falling for your pouts. I am not his grace, I won't melt from your adorable anger. Now pout all through the bath if you wish but you are bathing whether you like it or not." She said helping Izuku get into the warm water with rose petals and so many scented oils mixed in. Izuku held back a pur at the warmth he felt but Kendo knew he was comfortable. The maids worked on massaging his arms and muscles as Kendo worked on his hair. She knew that the Omega hated having his hair touched by anyone but her so she never let anyone else do it either.

"You are mean." Izuku pouted but couldn't help but lean back into Kendo's comforting touch and sighed in comfort. Kendo smiled as she gently massaged's his scalp and let the Omega enjoy the comfort of being taken care off. She could tell that Izuku had been very neglected in Emerald. The knotted and tangled hair, his pale skin, the dry skin on his arms and his rough skin of his face said it loud and clear.

"For your good." She giggled. The maids made sure that their Duchess looked absolutely perfect. They made sure his skin was glowing and mosturised through and through and Kendo made sure the greenette's long green hair was washed properly. Kendo helped Izuku out of the tub and dried him off. She wrapped a robe onto him and sat him down to get his hair dried and styled. Katsuki slowly entered the chambers and immediately smiled at his wife.

"I was coming to check whether you had changed your mind, I presume not?" Katsuki spoke in an amused tone. Izuku looked back with a pout making Katsuki raise an eyebrow.
