Nobody expects King Katsuki Bakugo to agree to marriage. Not willingly. Not politically. Not at all. Which is why the announcement throws half the continent into chaos. Because if there is one thing the Northern Kingdom is known for, it is this: their king is difficult. Violent when provoked. Sharp-tongued even when he is not. Cold winters, colder politics, and a ruler with enough military power to make neighboring kingdoms reconsider their ambitions. Bakugo does not smile in portraits. Does not entertain diplomacy unless forced. Does not bend. Marriage implies compromise, and compromise has never been something Katsuki Bakugo tolerates.
