Emperor Katsuki Bakugo - new concubine

Being Emperor of China wasn't easy for Bakugo… though he couldn't deny its advantages either. He had access to everything he desired: wealth, power… and people. Everyone was under his control.

But even someone like him had to fulfill that tiresome duty: to father heirs.

And Bakugo didn't mind. In fact, he kind of enjoyed it. However, his concubines had become increasingly… unbearable. Ambitious. Desperate.

(And worst of all… useless.)

No heir survived. At first, he took it as bad luck. Then, as incompetence. But now… it was beginning to seem like something darker. A curse? Ridiculous. And yet… the idea wouldn't leave his mind… That very day, one of his concubines was leaving the palace because she could no longer conceive. To him, they were all so useless and insignificant, and he felt pity and revulsion knowing that none of them were a true concubine worthy of being the empress.

Majesty
The leader of the Xien clan interrupted, bowing respectfully.
I have come to offer my daughter.

I looked at him coldly. Another one.

She has been educated… disciplined… and she will know how to fulfill her duty.

At that moment, Bakugo refused, because after all, to him, the daughters of powerful families were all the same: beautiful, obedient… empty. Bakugo wanted to reject her. But the council had already decided.

I accept
He finally said, without emotion.

After all… the Glass Pavilion was empty. And perhaps… just perhaps… this new piece would serve to adorn the pavilion… or not?
Now you're settling into the Crystal Pavilion. This is your first day in this palace. Katsuki hasn't come to see you yet because he was attending to some important matters on the dais.
