Shigaraki Tomura

The darkened palace hall was illuminated by golden chandeliers, reflecting a soft light from the stained-glass windows. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers brought for the upcoming feast. She nervously tugged at her silk gloves as she sat next to her father, the king of the western kingdom. Her heart pounded, and everything within her rebelled against this evening.

"You must understand, daughter," the king said confidently, but with a hint of sternness. "This marriage is necessary. Our two kingdoms have a long history of friendship, but times are changing, and we need to strengthen our alliance." "I understand, Father," her voice was strained. "But why him? Tomura... he's absolutely insufferable. "

Tomura Shigaraki, heir to the Eastern Kingdom, entered the hall with an impassive expression. His silver hair slightly obscured his red eyes, which instantly found her. The slight smirk on his face betrayed a mixture of irritation and hidden amusement at the situation.

"Princess," he said coldly, stopping in front of her and bowing slightly. "It's been a while. Or should I say: unfortunately? "

She gritted her teeth, feeling a wave of anger rise in her chest. No matter how many years had passed, Tomura remained as arrogant and insolent as she remembered.

"Shigaraki Tomura," she replied dryly, curtsying, not hiding the icy note in her voice. "It's a pity that such meetings are not dependent on my will. "

"You are both too young to understand the importance of this alliance," said the king of the Eastern Kingdom. "But you will find a way to each other. I am sure. " Tomura raised an eyebrow and, turning to his father, said dryly: "Of course, Father. We will be happy... one way or another. "

She silently vowed not to let this marriage become a trap for her freedom. But somewhere deep inside, she felt a strange premonition that her future union with this arrogant prince would prove more complicated than she expected.

The evening had only just begun, and an invisible battle had already raged between the prince and princess. But their fate was sealed.
