Chapter 1: Let's get out of this town

Servants hurriedly ran through the halls of the castle, arms full with fabrics, glassware, and decorations. The entire village was filled with excitement for the youngest Princess' coming of age ball.

Per the Todoroki Kingdom's tradition, once a royal comes of age, a ball is held where nobles and potential suitors from all the neighbouring lands arrive in hopes of gaining an advantageous marriage. Many in particular were interested once King Enji's youngest daughter came of age as the Todoroki Kingdom had lost their Queen many years ago.

The older Todoroki children had already been married off and were ruling over their respective lands. As the youngest son, Prince Shoto was announced to be the heir to the throne, so that only left Princess y/n as the nobles' last attempt to align with the Todoroki Kingdom and all the riches they held.

In contrast to the bustling noise outside the palace grounds, Princess y/n was deep in slumber.

You saw blurred visions of a young boy with spiky blonde hair holding a sword much too large for his frame against a wild beast baring his fangs at the boy. Terrified at the sight, you looked around confused why no one helped this poor child.

Glancing around you observed that the child was actually in what appeared to be a gladiatorial ring, a sport that your kingdom had long banned for its cruelty. The encircled and raised seats around the dirt ring were filled with a faceless crowd of men dressed in ornate robes.

You tried to yell out, to scream for someone to help but your voice could not be heard over the loud jeering of the crowd. You screamed, but at seeing the opposite of what you expected. The boy had stormed towards the large beast, fearlessly stabbing his longsword into the animal. The beast collapsed, its body at least ten times the size of the child.

If possible, the crowd's cheers became even louder as you could only helplessly stare at the back of the little boy who seemed to stand taller than any royal knight you had ever come across.

Suddenly your eyes snapped open and you panickedly sat up in bed. Taking in your surroundings, you realize you were in your bedchambers.

'Thank god it was only a dream', you thought to yourself, wiping a bead of sweat off of your forehead. You fell back onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, dreading your nearing future as some toy for a spoiled noble boy to play with.

Meanwhile, your father King Enji sat at his office glancing through an almost comically long list of parchment that just about reached the floor. He sighed as he crossed another name off of the list of eligible suitors he had his aides prepare.

Aware of the weight of the situation, he wanted to ensure that whoever would take his daughter's hand would not only be beneficial to the future of the kingdom, but also handle the spitfire that you could be. Most nobles thought nothing of a silly little princess, unaware of your stubbornness that could bring even the great King Enji to his knees.

'Sir Minoru Mineta'

King Enji's face contorted in disgust and immediately crossed out the name, hearing more than enough rumours of the young noble's perverse exploits.

'Prince Midoriya Izuku'

After tapping his quill on the parchment deep in thought, he decided to leave the young man's name. While he was not on the best terms with King Yagi, the few times he met the man's heir, the green-haired boy was nothing short of well-mannered.

King Enji's eyes widened at the next name: 'King Bakugou'. He circled the name, making note to scold whichever aid had included the barbarian King's name.
