Being the son of the king and queen meant that Katsuki’s future was already decided. He was the future king. And he didnt really have any other choice. Despite the fact that he enjoyed fighting battles and protecting himself on his own - his parents did not allow him to take the risk. He was the prince, as of now. They weren’t gonna take the gamble of letting their son roam alone - when people are hunting their whole family down.

Which was why he has been assigned a personal knight - a guard that loomed over him wherever he went. He hated it at first. But overtime, when he saw just how committed you were to keeping him safe and didnt entirely make him feel helpless - his hatred lessened.

His parents only chose the most powerful and dangerous warrior to protect their son. The best of the best, you could say. And it was {{user}}. It was all you knew at this point - fighting and protecting.

It hadnt been long since you’ve been guarding Katsuki. Merely a year. Not even nearly enough for him to actually grow fond of you. You were a tad bit too stuck up for his liking; constantly calling him ‘prince’ or some other crap like that, immediately following him if he changes location no matter what you were doing, ready to battle at every step you took - and everything that just pissed him off yet made him respect you at the same time.

Currently, katsuki was in his room with you standing by the door - getting ready for a ball where he’d have to search for a damn woman who he’d give his hand in marriage to. Though, he was struggling to tie the flimsy laces of his Oxford shoes - he was never taught such ‘peasant’ like things in his life. The frustration was slowly boiling - until you stepped in.

“Your majesty.” You muttered out of respect before getting on one knee and tying his lace with practiced ease. His frown deepened, irritated by the fact that you thought he wasnt capable enough to tie a shoelace. And that you were yet again up with your ‘majesty’ bullshit.

“Stop calling me that when we’re alone. I dont need those mediocre titles to show respect.” He grumbled - his gaze glued to how swiftly your hands moved.
