The Cruel Kings Kindness For His Bride

Chapter 3: Black Roses

Izuku stood in the ballroom, hiding by a piller as guest started to come in, most were royals, such as the todoroki family, of the vampire kingdom, and the bakugou family, of the Werewolf kingdom

He didn't want to go out there, where all attention would be on him once someone noticed him, they'll say what they always say

"You've grown"

"You would make a perfect mate for prince bakugou"

"You should talk more"

"You should smile more"

It becomes tiresome, always smiling and forcing himself to have conversations with people who only want exploit him, being looked upon with concern from bakugou, talked down by kings and queen's, the thought alone was enough to make him hurl

Izuku began to feel nauseated, and his body started to hurt, he felt himself break out in a cold sweat, he figured is was just anxiety so he turned to leave, but before he could, bakugou came up to him, two drinks in hand

"Hey deku, there you are, people are wait- hey are you ok?" Bakugou seemed to noticed Izuku's feverish State, so he held up ond of the drinks for izuku to take as he brought him closer to bakugous chest, feeling him burning up

Once izuku took the glass, he felt a jolt of pain in his hand, causing him to scream out in pain and drop the glass, falling to the floor as he did so, "DEKU!!! HEY SOMEONE GET THE HEALERS!!! NOW!!!" bakugou ordered

Bakugou aid izuku in his lap, lifting his head in his arms, but as people ran to the two, bakugou began to notice something. . .

Black roses, fading into izuku's pale skin along his legs, stomach, and arms

Everyone who saw this, backed away from the prince, knowing all to well just what those marks meant

They were soulmarks, and only one man was known for having such marks. . .

King tomura shigaraki of the banished kingdom

Bakugou sat there in shock, bringing izuku closer to his body as he was seething rage

'why!? Why him of all people!? Please, anyone but him! He can't have deku! I won't let him!!!'

As bakugou thought this, he picked up the now passed out izuku, bridal style, before turning to the guests and announcing

"everyone, prince de- izuku, is the soulmate of king shigaraki, if word gets out to the banished kingdom, he will send his suburbanites outside the wall, in order to find the prince, and as a direct descendent of king yagi, that means they can use him in order to get past the wall, we cannot let this happen"

As bakugou finished, king hisashi, izuku's father, walked to bakugou, a readless look on his face, "there is a room that is repellent to any magic, even magic creatures, we will take him there" the king said, taking izuku from bakugou, who nodded at this

Once king hisashi started to leave, queen mitsuki, bakugou's mother, spoke up, "expect the werewolves forces to keep watch of the emerald kingdoms borders, prince izuku will be kept safe, you have my word" she stated, seeing her sons worried expression

-meanwhile in the banished kingdom-

The king of the banished kingdom, king shigaraki, walked through the halls of his castle, his royal advisor, kurogiri, walking next to him, but as the two walked, shigaraki began to feel a sharp pain throughout his body, causing him to slow down and lean against the wall

Kurogiri stopped, turning to shigaraki in concern, "your highness, are you alright?" He asked, but as he did, shigaraki screamed out in pain, falling to his knees, "YOUR HIGHNESS!!!" kurogiri yelled, kneeling down and placing his hand on shigaraki's back

Shigaraki's body ached, it felt as if his insides were set ablaze, and as he yelled out, an image of a prince came to mind, hair long and dark green, his eyes a bright emerald, with pale skin and black roses on his body

As quickly as it came, the pain stopped, his chest heaving as he realized what had happened

"No. . . No damn it no!!!" Shigaraki yelled as he got up and ran to his study, slamming the door open as he did so, he then stopped in front of a stand, a blood red fire already lit, he took out a small pouch filled with assorted flower petals

Shigaraki grabbed a small hand full before tossing them into the flames and said, "show him to me" which made an image appear in the fire

The image was of the same prince he had saw before, but this time, he was asleep and being carried by an unknown person, "damn it no!!!" Shigaraki threw the pouch he was holding in a blind rage, angered that his worse fear had been realized

"Your soulmate I assume?" Kurogiri asked, now standing behind shigaraki, "I can't have a soulmate! I'm rejecting my soulmark!" Shigaraki stated, not looking up from the fire

Kurogiri shook his head at this bedore saying, "is that wise? We both know your immortality won't last forever, you need an heir"

"I'm not going to use him just so my families bloodline goes on, I won't become like. . . Him" shigaraki sneered, and kurogiri paused, thinking of what to say before he got an idea

"Then don't, you have subordinates outside the kingdom, allow them to retrieve your soulmate, and see to it that he is safe. . . Or. . ."

"Or?"

"Or you can let him give you an heir, and I will see to it that he is never leaves the west wing of the castle while he cares for the child, you won't hurt either of them"

Shigaraki thought on this, weighing his options

on the one hand, his soulmate might, just might be happy with shigaraki, but then again, shigaraki was prone to violence when angered, it's how he was taught, and he knew this, and what if his soulmate angered him and shigaraki ended up doing something he would regret

But on the other hand, his soulmate would be safely away from him, shigaraki couldn't hurt him, but what if he ends up in a depressive state, being confined for so long can drive people insane, not to mention the stress of raising a child, that you were forced into having no less, he might hurt the child, as yes they will be immortal but it's still dangerous

". . . Make arrangements for a marriage ceremony, and prepare orders for the others to apprehend my soulmate"

"And as for what you're going to do with him?"

". . . I'll let him decide"
