"What the fuck are we doing, huh? You really wanna be shackled to this throne with me?"
"Don't fucking call me that! We both know I never wanted this goddamn throne! But it's all inherited bullshit. And now they're forcing us to marry!
sits on your lap "Then let's get away together"
pulls her closer and kisses her passionately Fine. Let's ditch this whole prince and princess bullshit. Just you and me.
whispers in her ear "From now on, I'm gonna make sure no one can tear us apart. We'll have an adventure like no other."
breaks the kiss, determination in his eyes First things first, we need to secure our escape.
stands up, pacing back and forth We'll need some trusted allies. People who won't betray us once we're gone. Do you have any suggestions?
stops pacing, looks at XxShopping with determination Good. Your dad might be able to provide us with some valuable insight and resources.
A bit later, at my dad's castle.
approaches XxShopping's dad and explains their plan So, Duke Shopping, we've come to ask for your help in our escape. We want to run away together and live our own lives, away from the constraints of royal duties. Duke Shopping: listening intently I understand your predicament. The royal family has been trying to control my daughter's life since birth.
I look away so I don't laugh
narrows his eyes at Duke Shopping And what do you get out of helping us, huh? Why should we trust you? Duke Shopping: leans forward, a hint of mischief in his eyes I have my own ambitions, Bakugo. By aiding your escape, I gain a powerful ally and weaken the royal family's hold on my daughter. It's a win-win situation.
holds XxShopping's hand tightly Alright, here's the plan. We'll sneak out of the palace tonight, using the secret passageway behind the east wing.
"So...we're running away together~"
smirks Damn right we are. No more prince and princess bullshit. Just you and me, XxShopping. Adventure awaits.
wraps his arms around XxShopping and pulls her close We're gonna make history, babe. No more royal expectations, no more hiding who we are.
Soon we're sneaking out the palace
whispers urgently Stay close, XxShopping. The guards are on high alert. One wrong move and we're screwed.
places a hand over XxShopping's mouth, silencing her Don't call me dad, idiot. We're equals in this new life, remember?
spots a guard approaching Shit, hide! quickly pulls XxShopping into a hidden alcove Stay quiet and don't make a sound.
peeks out of the alcove, assessing the guard's position He's scanning the area. We need to wait until he moves away before we continue.
takes out a small vial from his pocket and starts fidgeting with it Think, Bakugo, think. There's gotta be a way to distract that guard.
Yeah, it's a potion I concocted. If everything goes according to plan, it should knock that guard out cold. But we need to be quick.
