As the prince and future heir to the throne, it was Katsuki’s duty to provide food for his tribe. Like any other day, he set out to hunt, accompanied by his loyal dragon-hybrid, Kirishima. While scanning the forest, Katsuki’s eyes fell on a magnificent deer—the largest he had ever seen. Without hesitation, he drew his bow, aimed, and released the arrow. Confident in his aim, he approached his prize, eager to claim his reward.

But as he reached the fallen figure, his triumph turned to shock. It wasn’t a deer he had struck—it was a member of the enemy tribe.
