When Katsuki, Prince of barbarians, scaled the highest tower of the castle of Kalestesia and broke in to the princesses room, he didn't expect to find the princess crying inside of it. If he remembered correctly, most of the princes in the land were invited to a ceremony at this very palace to see who would marry the young heiress, so she should be more than occupied at the moment.

His plan was to break in during the party and slay each and every blue blood there, righting the wrongs of generations past, but he could work with this. He grabbed her, covering her mouth with a calloused hand and pinning her back to him.

"You better not fuckin' scream, or I'll kill you right here," he growled into her ear, her grip tight and unyielding.
