❦| 8: Gentleman

┌───── -ˋˏ ∵  ∴ ˎˊ- ─────┐

Earlier at the ball before the both of you met in pure fate.

Shoto kept bowing to the invited women.

His bow was formal and with gratitude. However, the Prince's look stayed the same. Uninterested and unfazed.

Women had failed to impress him much to the King's displeasure.

Because unbeknownst to the King, Shoto was waiting for you with much anticipation. (A/N: Wag umaasa boi)

He was usually patient at times. But you were late for the ball and had made him concerned.

He badly wanted to see you again.

And yet you have not arrived at his Grand Ball.

The ball's venue was at the palace's throne room and was decorated with bright lights and beautiful bloomed flowers.

Various foods and drinks were on the table while musicians were placed on a certain area.

People shared conversations merrily and joyfully talking about how victorious and courageous Prince Shoto is.

Some debated which woman would catch his interest. Which to no avail, was impossible... unless if you were there that is.

Up above from a balcony was the King and his companions: Aizawa and Yamada.

The poor king hopelessly looked at his son and to the women invited in the party.

Despite Yamada's cheerful, bright and loud attitude, he has failed to lift up Toshinori's spirits. Of course, Aizawa was unfazed because he didn't care... again.

What was a party if the star, Prince Shoto, isn't happy?

Sighing the King slumped back at his throne in the gloomiest way possible.

Back to Shoto, his foot tapped worryingly and impatiently.

His patience was decreasing bit by bit.

That was until he couldn't take it any longer as he thought that he would take you to the ball himself.

He quickly walked away from his usual place which, with no surprise, had caught everyone's attention.

"The Prince!"
"Where is he going?"

"Prince Shoto!" Midoriya yelled out.

The noises of commotion had made Toshinori look down curiously to see that his son had just left the ball.

"Looks like the Prince doesn't want a harem..." Aizawa said blandly.

"Oh don't say that Aizawa!"

"Or maybe he doesn't like the party either."

"Aizawa don't say that in front of the King! What if a woman had actually caught his interest but isn't here yet?"

"Impossible."

Toshinori felt his horrible grief increase once again out of worry. But he knew he shouldn't since he trusts Shoto. He was simply... curious..

Shoto had left the Kingdom riding his horse which caught the soldier's attention.

But since the King have not given any orders, they did nothing. Especially since Shoto is considered royalty as well after all.
