The Emperor had been the leader of Quirk-wielders and the Quirkless for longer than living memory.
For over one thousand years he had ruled.
And the earth had only known peace.
The individual countries were still that, individual. But the borders between them didn't exist anymore. The countries and leaders were united now. And those same leaders were simply Governor's. Seeing to the everyday but still answering to the Emperor.
The Emperor's Palace was in what was commonly called Musutafu but its overall in the country Japan where its referred to as Avalon formally. The territories of the world still used their old names but had more formal ones given to them by the Emperor.
The Emperor was immortal or rumored to be so.
You'd have to be, to live over a thousand years. And apparently, he had decided he wanted a consort.
Or empress, but many speculated that the emperor wouldn't have his spouse crowned beside him.
The man had been fine with his concubines until then. So it was a common thought that he only wanted to marry to produce an heir. And lovely his concubines maybe, but none of them were consort material.
So that was how Izuku found himself seated on a black and emerald cushion surrounded by other young eligible nobles from around the world vying for the emperor's attention.
Or as his full title stated Toshinori-Aizawa Izuku, Heir to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Toshinori, and Heir to the Most Ancient and Noble House of Aizawa.
He didn't really want anything to do with any of this, but his sire Toshinori Yagi was a prominent member of the Emperor's Court and Council. So it would be seen as an insult by his father if he wasn't offered as a lamb for slaughter. It didn't help that he was his father's only son and heir and if for some reason he was chosen his father would need to remarry and have more children.
His father had been in a three-way bonding with his bearer and his mother Toshinori-Aizawa Inko née Midoriya. He may not be biologically kin to her but the sharing of family genetics with the help of someone with a Genetic Quirk before he was born had gifted him with her eyes and hair colour.
He too was a bearer like his father Shouta, so he was eligible to be the Emperor's consort.
There had been much fuss about if he should be the heir amongst his sire's family. But as the lord's only son, bearer status notwithstanding, he was the heir. Though that may not last long if he was chosen of course.
Izuku tried to focus on what was going on around him but it was very boring. Well as boring as the Palace of the Emperor could be, but not everyone had arrived yet.
