"MOTHER! I need the most beautiful and slutty dress", nana demanded as she walked into her mother's room.

nerumi chuckled at her daughter's sudden request. "oh? why's that? you usually don't like those dresses. trying to impress someone?", she teased.

"doesn't matter mom. but I need a dress for the ball and I don't have one. I need one that makes me stand out!!", nana explained in one breath.

"haha alright alight", nemuri agreed, seeing her favorite daughter wanting to dress so provocative made her sorta proud.

with the help of her mom, nanako got a dress tailored for her and her only. excited, she gave nerumi a quick kiss before skipping away.

the day of the ball has finally arrived. it has been almost a week since I've seen tomura, and perhaps this dress will leave an impression on him.

"nana, time to get ready!", mina cheerfully said. since mina was still a marchioness and ochako was a baroness, they were allowed to join the party too, and they were already prepared, before helping me.

"how would you like your hair and makeup done, nana?"

"I want my makeup light, and my hair slightly pulled back, only two strands, leave my baby hair to frame my face", I said.

"yes ma'am~", ochako and mina said as they got to work.

ochako wore a pink gown, with her chestnut hair tied into a low bun, a few fringes falling out. mina wore a green sparkly dress that was long and had a slit on the side of it. then, there was me.

once I was done getting ready, I walked out of my room. all six of my knights were stunned, even shinso and todoroki looked somewhat shocked. mina and ochako felt proud.

if the two most quiet and feeling deprived people were shocked, tomura would definitely notice me too.

smirking, I said, "paint a painting, it'll last longer".

embarrassed to be caught staring, some coughed and cleared their throats before getting prepared to escort me to the ball.

"todoroki, you strike up a conversation with momo so tomura can't get to her, understand?", I ordered.

"yes, nana".

"and shinso, you have a decent relationship with monoma. talk to him and try to get him to occupy or dance with itsuka".

"yes, nana".

"good, now that we are 15 minutes late, it's time to make an entrance. are y'all ready?", I asked confidently.

"ready as ever!", mina replied excitedly.

with midoriya and kirishima opening the door, everyone's attention was now on whoever it was, entering late.

"please welcome princess nanako, with marchioness mina and baroness ochako!", yagi, one of nemuri's personal knights announced.

walking in, all eyes were on the third princess. her baby blue dress hugged her figure from the mid-waist and down, with a big slit on the right side of her dress, almost to her thigh. the dress was low-cut and had spaghetti straps, matched with a diamond choker. (a/n: picture above^)

her blue heels clicked with each step she took. smiling, she headed straight towards her mother, queen nemuri.

"greetings, mother", nanako said as she bowed slightly.

"I see you've finally come to join the party". nemuri said as she complimented her and her dress.

replying with a thanks, nanako quickly caught the stare of a certain blue haired male.

smirking, nanako had a devious glint in her light green eyes. it almost looked as if she was inviting him to step in her trap.

as she headed towards tomura, tomura held his breath. a breath he didn't even consciously know he was holding.

however, just as she was about to approach him, someone had stopped her in her tracks.

"why, it's a pleasure to meet you, princess nanako", a man with golden eyes and short brown hair said. he was handsome, nanako will give him that, however, his eyes were calculating. it gave nanako an unsettling feeling.

smiling, nanako responded with, "the pleasure's all mine. may I get the honor to know your name?"

"chisaki kai. duke from the villain's kingdom", he replied with a small smirk.

nanako nodded, acknowledging his status. she took a quick glance at tomura, to see if he was still looking. not to her surprise, he was, and he seemed sort of irritated.

"prince tomura. prince tomura", kurogiri called out.

"what." tomura asked, sounding more demanding that he usually was.

"is something wrong?", kurogiri questioned, following his gaze, to see the third princess with duke kai.

"nothing", tomura replied before heading to a servant to get a glass of champagne.

although nanako didn't hear tomura and kurogiri's conversation, she knew what her next step would be.

"a dance?", kai asked, extending his hand out towards nana.

"I'd be honored", nana replied, with a small smirk.
