Known as the playboy duke of the north in the kingdom of Tokyo, a tall black-haired man, always dressed in red, is getting in your nerves. Obviously, this was not the first you have met before since this peace meeting held in Tokyo between other kingdoms present, is only one of the nth time you've went here. Being the duchess of Miyagi kingdom, your job was to handle the embassy between the borders of other kingdoms but as of lately, there were flying words that some kingdoms were plotting a treachery towards the mainland empire, Tokyo kingdom.

The duke was embraced with ladies stuck all over his side as he sips the glowing glass filled with wine. You guess that the wine came from the duke's investment on some rich business whom he's been directly supporting.

Your velvet burnt orange dress glistens from the chandelier and throughout the ballroom.

When everyone laid their eyes on you, they immediately recognize your color. The color of warmth and confidence.

"I see you're an eye-catcher today, your grace." You tilt your head to find the duke aerating his wine.

You don't say anything and he smirks at your cold attitude towards him. "I said you look very wonderful tonight, your grace."

"Is that all?" You turn your head back to where it was as you wait for his reply. "Hahahah! Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here (Y/N)."

You swear there was an irk mark on your temple. You left the crowd with your heels clacking on the marbled tiles. There was nothing good about that guy at all. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he was always granted every leadership position back when you both were enrolled in the academy also located in Tokyo, hence the familiarity of both Kuroo Tetsurou and the kingdom. On the other hand, you had to prove and earn the title of duchess from your good-for-nothing older brother. Graduating as the top 1 in the academy truly helped you to gather people who trusted you to become the next duchy.

"Is that (Y/N) I see there?" You halt after hearing a familiar voice. The man dressed in white fur coat with dazzling silver everywhere approached you with his favorite companion.

"Blessings upon the kingdom, your highness." He laughs at your formality. "So formal as always (Y/N). Right Akaashi?" He snickers with the boy beside him.

Akaashi politely smiles at you. "Yes indeed. Welcome your grace."

All three of you grin at each other. After attending the same academy with these two as well, you feel the nostalgia run through you.

"Well aren't you having fun without me (Y/N)." You grimace at Kuroo's deep voice coming from behind you. Bokuto and Kuroo initiates a conversation together about shallow affairs in the kingdom.

Suddenly, the orchestra slowly fades out from the background as many partners gather on the dance floor to waltz. Bokuto makes eye contact with you and places his hand out when somebody butts in, "My grace, will you do the honor to dancing one last time with me?"

You just think about how this is purely for international affairs only.

This is a peace treaty. But I guess it won't hurt to have fun once in a while.

The music continues on as you take his hand and position yourself in a waltz. You both glide the dance floor while the others stared in awe.

"I can't help but think how bad they both look when they're together!" Akaashi nods at Bokuto's comment of the two stubborn duke and duchess.
