Chapter Eleven | Ally and Pressure

DURING Bakugou's mother's reign, Queen Mitsuki, Midnight was chosen as one of her Ladies in Waiting.

Midnight truly considered it as an honor to serve Queen Mitsuki. She was, after all, one of the greatest monarchs that Ignis had.

Even after Queen Mitsuki's death, Midnight remained loyal to the Royal Family. So when her son, Bakugou Katsuki, was crowned King, Midnight made it her duty to guide and advise him. She maintained her position in the court for him.

Even though he proved to be stubborn and believed that no one can order him around. Still, Midnight sought to care for the young King.

So whenever there are concerns regarding him that needs to be done, Midnight would go to Bakugou, address the concern and advise him how to deal with it.

Currently, Bakugou's court has a predicament that haven't reached him yet.

"What are you doing here?" Bakugou asked as soon as he got inside the dining room.

Midnight came in to talk with Bakugou and his wife. When she got in their private dining room, she was told that Bakugou will be here soon. And as for the Queen, the guards told her she hasn't been eating here ever since.

Midnight look and frowned to see that Bakugou look like he worked up a sweat this early morning. "Were you out jousting again this early in the morning?"

"Yeah." He answered curtly and went to sit down, he started to pick at the grapes from the table and popped them in his mouth.

"You know the council won't approve of that. They don't want you getting yourself in danger."

"The council can go to hell."

"What if you seriously injured yourself?"

"I know what I'm doing."

"Did you know that there's a King who died from jousting?"

"No. And I don't care."

Midnight sighed. "If you get seriously injured, they won't allow you to do it again. Worse, they won't even allow you to step one foot outside."

"I was just trying to get some damn exercise." Bakugou leaned back on his seat. "The council won't do shit unless I tell them to."

"Endangering yourself means putting the throne at risk. We can't afford you going around doing things that might risk your health. You're the King, and you must be at your best in both body and mind."

"I went to many wars before and came back unscathed. This is nothing." Bakugou stated, reaching for the glass and the bottle of scotch.

Midnight, who knew how stubborn he is, decided to change the topic of the conversation. "Where's (Name)?"

"I don't know." He shrugged, drinking the scotch.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Midnight sternly asked, unimpressed by Bakugou's lack of concern for his wife.

"I'm not her fucking nanny, so I don't know. What do you even want with her?"

"I'm here to discuss something important with the both of you."

Bakugou raised a brow. "If you have something to say, say it to me. I'm the most important person here, all important shits goes to me."

"Fine." Midnight frowned. "This concerns your relationship."

"Ha?"

"Ever since her arrival, everyone had noticed that your wife has been unhappy." Midnight started, making sure she emphasized the matter. "Everyone in court is questioning if your marriage is still alright."
