Chapter 16

The whispers stopped through the guests and the royalties looked at Aoyama, getting doubtful again.

Todoroki raised his hand to have the word again. "Gender doesn't matter when it comes to love." He briefly said, a glimpse of annoyance showing in his tone.

Aoyama tilted his head in confusion, raising his hand for whenever he wanted to have the word. "But you need to have a child who'll be the next one to rule when you two can't." He said. "Like, who'll be the next King or Queen when you two have reached your ends?" He explained a bit more.

Todoroki sighed, raising his hand again. "There can always be a solution to that." He simply replied, finding it utterly ridiculous for caring about such things.

Endeavor spoke out of nowhere, getting everyone's attention. "And what sort of solution would that be?" He asked, staring at his son.

Todoroki raised his hand again to speak. "It's not important for now. We can find a solution to it whenever. We have good time." He simply replied with, dodging the question.

Endeavor kept silent, still staring at Todoroki, whom also stared back at him. "May I have the word please?" Midoriya's mother, Inko, got both of their attentions.

"Go ahead." Endeavor let her have the word, quite shocked to see her actually speak.

Inko took a deep breath and straightened her back. "I think that we shouldn't worry much about who'll be the next to rule. As Prince Shoto Todoroki said, we have good time to think on that. We don't have to rush things." She said in a calm, yet brave tone. "There can always be a solution to anything, am I right King Endeavor?" She looked at Endeavor, whom didn't reply. "Weren't you the one saying that there will always be a solution? Isn't that your life motto?" She said, this time wanting him to reply.

He didn't answer at first. He just stared thoughtful at her, trying to find the right answer - or well, the answer he thought that was right. He finally decided to speak after a couple of minutes."You're right about that." His words gave his own family a shock. It was unusual for them to see him actually agree to someone who isn't royal. "We can wait. We have time." He nodded his head in agreement.

Midoriya let out a sigh of relief, meanwhile Todoroki was trying his best to not smile, which was also sort of surprising to see from him. Todoroki smiling? Pshh. Never heard of that.

Anyways, the whole situation seemed to go well. Questions were asked and Todoroki answered them calmly, finding always a solution to each question. The guests seemed to have calmed down and the royalties didn't seem to have any doubts.

As a long time had passed, Endeavor decided to take a break from all this talk. "Listen up!" He stood up, getting everyone's attention in the room. "We're going to have a short break! We need to clear our minds before we make a decision! So may you all! There will be a bell heard when the short break is over! Be sure to be here by then!" He explained, loud and clear. "You may all enjoy this break!" He then let everyone go their own ways.

Kirishima noticed Bakugou quickly getting up from his seat, entering a door that probably lead to the outside. He also noticed Todoroki pulling Midoriya with him to another room, probably to spend some alone time together. Endeavor kept sitting, thinking hard to himself. Some other royalties also left and some stayed. A lot of guests as well left and many of them stayed.

Kirishima was one of those guests who decided to leave. He wanted to follow Bakugou, to see how he was doing.
He quickly ran out of the room, trying to find his way outside. He asked for directions a lot, from the guards at least. The guards were familiar with Kirishima, since he was staying over with Bakugou and all that, so one of the guards actually lead him outside.
