One Mistake

Hey Everyone!

Time to take a bit of a break from For a Reason to write something different. Not to say that I won’t be going back to writing For a Reason, but just got inspired to write this.

A bit of backstory for how I’m setting this up. A bit of a Middle Ages AU for BNHA, Endeavor is kind of like the almighty emperor of the East and All Might is the almighty emperor of the West. Endeavor strives to control both his children and his people in order to make sure there’s never a resource problem due to overpopulation. His solution to that, ban PDA. Totally doesn’t make much sense but the train of thought I’m going with is no PDA means it’s very hard to meet someone in the first place. Even holding hands platonically is forbidden.

Everything is the total opposite over in All Might’s kingdom and the people live in happiness there. No one is allowed to leave the kingdom of East without Endeavor’s direct permission. The only prince, Shoto Todoroki was kept especially sheltered from the world and the story begins with a very rare diplomatic visit to the West Kingdom to negotiate trade agreements.

As a bit of a side, there’s also the Kingdoms of the South and the North. The princess of the Kingdom of the South will be making a brief appearance but other than that, these kingdoms aren’t important to this particular story.

I decided to do a bit of a tribute to Neko for this story. I really appreciate the Neko has given for my fanfic For a Reason even though it uses different ships. It’s very rare to see non-ship haters. I hope you enjoy this Neko!

One Mistake

Shoto sighed a little bit to himself as he sat in the royal carriage. How he longed to be able to look outside and see what the Kingdom of the West looked like. However, by his father’s orders, all the windows had been covered up with sturdy metal. To for unexpected assassinations, his father had explained. Todoroki knew the real reason for it though, to prevent him from having as much with the outside world as possible.

Shoto raised his head when he heard the muffled tones of his butler talking. The little sliding partition for the window that lead to where his butler was sitting opened a few minutes later. His butler informed him in a kind but serious voice. “Prince Shoto, we’ve arrived at Might Castle. Please prepare to greet the King and his children.”

Shoto nodded in response to his butler’s words and the sliding partition slid shut. Shoto straightened the vest and puffed collared shirt he was wearing and slid a hand through his dual colored hair to smooth it.

When the carriage door slid open, Shoto stepped out gracefully. The silly red cape that his father insisted he wear flowing behind him. His eyes got a brief look of the main castle town behind him before he had to force himself to turn towards the castle doors. A butler who worked at Might Castle lead him to the throne room while his own butler stayed behind to take care of bringing Shoto’s things to the room that he’d be staying in.

Shoto observed the interior of Might Castle calmly. He noticed immediately how different it was from his father’s own castle. His father hated having too many servants running around and kept their staff limited to those he could control or trusted. There were far more of the former than of the latter. In Might Castle there were far more servants around. All of whom seemed to have their own task to do which they went about completing gladly.

It didn’t take long to reach the throne room. The butler opened the door gracefully and announced the prince’s arrival. “Prince Shoto Todoroki of the East Kingdom has arrived.”

Shoto entered the room and bowed slightly to the royals that were in the room. “Greetings King All Might and Queen Inko. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me today.”

King All Might was all smiles and exuded kindness, “It’s no problem at all young Shoto! I’m always happy to discuss anything with our neighboring kingdoms. We are all stronger together rather than apart after all.” Then King All Might gestured to the three smaller thrones off to the side. “Before we get down to business, I have some introductions I want to make. I don’t believe you’ve met my son, Crown Prince Izuku Midoriya. Next to him is his fiancé, Princess Ochaco Uraraka of the South Kingdom.”

Izuku and Uraraka both dipped their heads in respect to Shoto as they were introduced. Shoto returned the gesture, intrigued to have finally met the West Kingdom’s Crown prince. Shoto then turned his mismatched gaze over to the third smaller throne and he froze. Sitting there was a beautiful young woman with long, raven black hair. Her onyx eyes were unwavering as she returned his gaze. Shoto almost got lost in her eyes and only barely snapped back to attention when he realized King All Might was still speaking.

“This is my lovely daughter Princess Momo. My pride and joy, she helps her brother out so much with running the kingdom.” All Might stated this proudly while looking at his daughter with pride.

Momo blushed a little bit, embarrassed by her father’s compliments. She ed her manners a few seconds later and dipped her head to greet the young prince. Shoto dipped his head in greeting, reluctant as he was to remove his gaze from her own.

Shoto then tried his best to refocus back on the task at hand of discussing the trade agreements. Yet during the duration of the talks, Shoto’s eyes kept going back over to Princess Momo. He felt drawn to her for reasons he didn’t quite understand. There were times when the princess caught him staring and he immediately looked away and blushed slightly in embarrassment.

Focus on the trade talks Shoto, if your father could see you right now. The prince shuddered internally at the thought. That would be one mistake he could never make.
