The Sharp Prince and the Soft Pauper

Chapter 14: Castle Infiltration

As soon as the four boys entered the castle, they found a room for Izuku to change in. Kirishima grumbled as he was told to wait outside. He had wanted to watch Izuku change. He fell on the floor in sadness. Bakugo scoffed, "You damn idiot. If we let the two of you alone, the whole castle would here what the two of you were doing and find us." Kirishima looked at Bakugo, "You mean if we were as loud as you two. The entire inn head what you two were doing last night!" Kaminari blushed in embarrassment while Bakugo just smirked, obviously pleased with the memory. Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Izuku back in his normal clothes. As soon as he stepped out, Kirishima hugged him tightly. Izuku said, "Kirishima, let me go. We need to find the evidence regarding my father." Kirishima let go of Izuku and nodded. The four of them went off.

They had been searching the castle for half an hour already and found nothing. They searched through every room they could find that was unlocked. Surprisingly, there was no one in any of them. Also, they hadn't come across anyone. Izuku said, "Everyone must be at the party that lady talked about. If the royal family and the other important people are there, then all the guards must have been summoned there." Bakugo nodded, "Yeah, makes sense. Now, where the hell are we suppose to find those damn Todoroki's?!" Kaminari put his hand over Bakugo's mouth, "Katsuki, be quiet. We need to be stealthy." Bakugo scowled and moved on. The other three followed him. After a bit more walking, Bakugo stopped. The others looked at what caught Bakugo's attention. They saw a disheveled looking man with long, black hair and stubble on his chin walking around in a black, long sleeve shirt and matching pants with a white scarf. Izuku squealed. Kirishima and Bakugo covered his mouth as they all ducked for cover when the man looked in their direction. Once they crawled away, Kirishima and Bakugo removed their hands from Izuku's mouth. Kirishima asked, "Izuku, what was that about?" Izuku smiled silly, "That was Eraser head. A professional knight that serves the royal family. He's one of the most trusted members of the knighthood in the entire kingdom. He has one of the best track records too. To see him in person is a huge honor. Man, how lucky." Kirishima, Kaminari, and Bakugo just sighed from having to hear Izuku geek over a knight of the kingdom.  Though, Kirishima was a bit jealous of how highly Izuku spoke of Eraser head when he hadn't even known who Kirishima had been when they first met, even though Izuku lived in the area. As Izuku finished, Kaminari stood up, "Hey guys. Where are we?" The others looked around and noticed that they had no idea where they were now. They had been too focused on getting away from Eraser head to worry about which direction they were headed in. Bakugo scoffed, "Damn Deku. This is all your fault." Izuku bowed his head, "Sorry. You were all so kind to come here to help me find evidence about my father's execution and all I've done so far is mess thing up. I'm sorry." Kirishima frowned at Izuku and hugged him, gently this time, "Don't worry about it Izuku. We wanted to help you. We all make mistakes. Besides, if you hadn't told us who that guy was, Bakugo would have probably fought him to get information on where the Todoroki's are." Bakugo shrugged his shoulders, "Eh, that is true. No way was I going to pass the chance to shorten our search." Kaminari laughed a little at his boyfriend. Bakugo glared at him to stop, which he did. The four of them got back up again and started walking again. Izuku looked around the hallway. It was decorated with a flame like pattern. On one of the walls, he saw a man with red hair and blue armor standing next to the royal king, All Might. Izuku turned to his friends, " Hey, I think that we're getting close. This is a picture of the head of the Todoroki clan, Enji Todoroki." Kirishima looked at the picture, "He seems scary." Izuku nodded, "He is." They continued to walk down the hall. Eventually they ran into a doorway that had an engraving on the side. On the plate were engraved the words 'Enji Todoroki.' Izuku turned to the three royals. They all nodded their heads. They pushed the doors and entered the room.
