Katsuki grew up with riches. As a prince, he had people waiting in him left and right, not like he became spoiled, its just, he knew what it was like to live without worry

Food? Here you go, your Highness. Clothes? Here you go, your Highness. Shelter? He doesn't have to ask.

But there's a tradition in his clan, insted of debutante balls as they come of age like the west, his people believe in character building, and so when Katsuki became of age he, like the royals before him, left the comfort of their home and travelled the world. No aid, no assistance from their name, a traveller making a name for themselves.

And Katsuki for the first time realized that this was what people had to live with? Scraping by? Swallowing pride in order to live? When he becomes king he'll fix this, all of it max, some of it minimum.

The ten year travel is almost finished, a year to go. He hasn't introduced himself as a prince in that long too, q couple more years and he can go home and reclaim the throne. But for now, he needs a job and money.

A flyer pinned on the bulletin board, paper old like its been there for a week or so, in the adventurer's guild caught hus attention. 'Six month employment, lodging, clothes and food included, salary will be disclosed if job is accepted'

Sounds too good to be true. Which would explain why no one aas taking a good offer. Katsuki inspects the notice, nothing about the employer, could be someone really important. Or a scammer.

Katsuki stares, and then he takes it, if it was a scammer he can handle it, he's sure, so might aswell check.

Katsuki followed the route to an old building and he instinctively braced himself, a hand on his weapon as he entered the building, seeing a man there a hood over their face, hiding it "Im here for this" He says showing the flier.

The man seemed surprised, as if he wasn't expecting someone to answer that, since its been a while.

But the man nods, taking out some fresh parchment and writing something "Sign there" he says

"Oi" Katsuki warns "My salary"

The man looks up, "Your employers in there" He nods in the direction of the adjacent room "Hash out the details with her" He says dismissively

Katsuki glares, but nods. Entering the room, the door creaking in protest.

"Your kidding me" Katsuki breathes in surprise as he spots no one other than the princess at the end of the room.
