ALL for one agreed to be the judge for the dancing competition. although he already gave his blessings, he didn't necessarily disagree with what the advisors had said.

"welcome ladies and gentlemen! we will begin the competition shortly. for the first performance, please welcome lady daizō!", compress announced.

lady daizō was indeed beautiful. she had long black hair that reached to her waist. her skin was fairly pale, contrasting her dark hair. her red eyes held such emotion, and her tall and slender figure could compare to that of a maned wolf.

her dance mimicked that of a snake. she wore a green beledi dress. a fitted top, hip belt, and a full length skirt. there were dangling coins hanging from her skirt and top, making every step she took jingle.

her dance was certainly mesmerizing, and you could tell how proud advisor daizō was of his daughter.

her hips swayed as her arms came up above her head. her wrists connected as she made like a lotus shape with her nimble fingers.

she pranced around all the viewers, capturing hearts and murmurs. many praised how pretty and hypnotizing the dance was. at one point, she even came over to tomura, putting her hands all over him.

nanako seethed in rage. one more touch or seductive gesture and she was going to cut her hands off for touching what's not hers.

"jealous, princess?", dabi teased as he elbowed nanako.

"shut up. I'm not in the mood", nana said, still somewhat angry.

"relax~ it's not like tomura even likes her. she's just dancing", dabi said, still grinning.

"easy for you to say. imagine some hunk of a guy all over your woman. how would you feel?", nana retorted.

"fair point". dabi looked over at nanako. he gave her a pat on her head to remind her that it's going to be alright.

cheers and applauds were heard as lady daizō bowed. flowers were thrown at her as she eyed tomura once more before walking off the stage.

"thank you for the beautiful performance, lady daizō! now, let's welcome lady nobuyoshi onto the stage!!", spinner said.

lady nobuyoshi, a woman of high class. she had blonde wavy hair, also up to her waist area. she had bright blue eyes and some cute freckles.

she wore a dress that was white and tight at the top, then it slowly descended into a loose, pink design. it was like one of those traditional chinese dresses.

her dance was certainly graceful. accompanied by a more calm melody, her body moved as smooth as a swan on water.

advisor nobuyoshi was also proud. seeing his daughter dance so sophisticated made him believe that she was definitely better than advisor daizō's daughter.

once her dance was over, again, many applauds and cheers were heard. flowers were also thrown. nanako looked at tomura, who had his usual stoic face on.

"alright, thank you lady nobuyoshi for your performance! lastly, we have princess nanako!!", toga excitedly announced.

"good luck princess", dabi said.

"thanks dabi, and thank you himiko!!", nanako said excitedly. she was pumped now. her aggravation turned into exhilaration.

nanako came out behind the curtains, dressed in a full on red dress that didn't constrict her legs. it was long sleeved, off the shoulder. her slick black hair was half up half down.

when she walked out, all eyes were on her and only her. nanako strutted onto the stage with confidence, not an ounce of her seemed off.

she held a smallsword, letting it hang loosely by her side. it was thin and light, perfect for her to swing without worrying about hurting herself.

as the drums started beating, nanako began her dance. starting off slow, she showed her elegance by moving her body sensually but not too much.

once the music started going faster, nanako's routine became more upbeat. she jumped in the air and held her sword out. it was like she was fighting someone but the enemy was invisible.

after a while of the fast pace music, it began to slow down again, signaling that it was almost at its end. as the drums started beating a slower beat, nanako ended the dance by pointing her sword at tomura, while her other hand was lifted parallel to the ground.

no one made a move or a single sound. everyone's jaw dropped. suddenly, clapping was heard.

"damn princess!! look at you go!", dabi commented, bringing the rest of the people out of their trance.

least to say, nanako's dance was just as good at the other two's, if not, even better. it captured both gracefulness and as kirishima would say, "manliness".

tomura was shocked. not once has he seen nanako dance so beautifully, or dance at all. and when her dress spun, it was like she was the dancing flames that ignited his cold heart. in his opinion, nanako definitely wins. however, it all comes down to his father.

"ahaha, well done ladies! it's definitely some of the best dancing I've seen since a while now. you three all did a splendid job", all for one complimented.

"and, if I must say, lady daizō's dance was the most enticing". lady daizō smiled while advisor daizō grinned.

"and lady nobuyoshi's was indeed the most graceful", all for one continued. that comment caused advisor nobuyoshi to smirk.

"however, princess nanako's was the most outstanding", all for one finished.

tomura smiled. he was happy. very fucking happy. now all these old geezer's will have to submit to the fact that nanako will become his queen.

"w-wait! great king all for one! h-how—"

"well, advisor daizō. let me say this, I am a man of power. and anyone who can help tomura achieve the his greatest will automatically get my approval".

"b-but—"

"I'm sorry I was the one who won, advisor daizō. but as you heard, I'm more suited to be queen than that daughter of yours", nanako said, trying to make him mad.

"y-you...Y-YOU!! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THIS!! AND HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER!!", advisor daizō yelled.

"advisor daizō...sorry to inform but your daughter is a slut who opens her legs like a starfish. if she tries getting close to tomura and puts her hands all over him, I won't hesitate to cut her up like sushi!", nanako threatened.

"Y-YOU BRAT! I-I-I QUIT!! this kingdom is going to go to ruins because of a woman like you!!", daizō huffed as he walked away.

"if you say so mr. daizō!! don't come crawling back to me and saying you regret everything!!", nanako teased.

"nana, that's enough", tomura calmly said. nanako just smiled.

all for one had already left as he didn't want to be in the drama of all these youngsters. the rest of the people were stunned by what just happened.

"now who am I suppose to replace him with? all thanks to you, I lost an important advisor", tomura said.

"don't be mad, tomu~ chisaki kai would be perfect for the job", nanako grinned.

tomura only sighed.

"what am I going to do with you?"
