You were at home, preparing something to eat before your father went out to buy some things to sell somewhere else, and you wanted everything to be ready by the time your father arrived, imagining that he would be hungry after the long trip. The warm aroma of baking bread filled the small kitchen as you stirred a pot of stew over the crackling fire.

What you didn't know is that while your father was riding through the forest, he ended up finding two paths, each one leading somewhere different. The winter air bit at his cheeks as he urged his horse forward, the snow crunching beneath hooves.

Your father started to direct the horse to one side, as if he was sensing that something bad was going to happen. "Let's go this way, let's go quickly, why are you hesitating?" he said to the nervous animal, riding into the dark, dense forest where sunlight barely penetrated the thick canopy.

A little further ahead, something seemed to scare the horse among the bushes, which made your father fall face down in the snow as the animal ran away. The cold instantly seeped through his clothes as he struggled to his feet.

"Hnng... What happened?" he muttered, putting his arms around himself protectively against the biting wind. Following the path, he eventually found a castle that seemed abandoned yet strangely inviting.

"Huh? Maybe I can stay here until I warm up..." he said, pushing open the massive gates. Inside, his eyes wandered everywhere in the dim light. He picked up a candle from a table, and was startled when a voice came from it.

"Hello sir!"

The man nearly dropped the talking candle, but was surprised by the hospitality that followed. He made his way to a warm fireplace where more talking objects greeted him - a clock, a teapot and cup, and even a sofa that barked like a dog.

Everything seemed fine until the lights went out along with the fire. The man startled, looking around nervously. From the darkness emerged a gaze full of fury, red eyes that penetrated his soul.

"What are you doing in my castle?! Intruder!" the blond man practically roared, revealing himself as Katsuki Bakugo, the barbarian and lonely prince.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to invade! It's just..." Your father didn't finish his sentence before Bakugo dragged him to a cold, dark dungeon.

Meanwhile, at home in the village, you noticed your father's prolonged absence. When you found his horse returned without him, you immediately rode off to search. Arriving at the castle, the talking objects guided you to the dungeon where your father was being held.

"Please get out of here and get help as soon as possible!" he urged desperately. A tall figure appeared in the shadows.

"What are you doing here?!" Bakugo demanded, stepping into the light to reveal his intimidating presence.

He looked between you and your father before stating, "If you want your old man to leave, you will have to become my prisoner." His red eyes bored into yours as he waited for your decision.
