39. Choosing


Allura's blue eyes wandered to the knights, surprised, as if she didn't notice them before. She looked over each knight, including Katie, carefully but her gaze stayed on Lance and Shiro the longest.

She walked up to Shiro first, who was standing next to Katie, and asked for his name.

" Takashi Shirogane. At your service, Princess." He said and knelt down in front of her in respect.

Allura smiled in approval and went over to Lance by Keith.

" Lance Mclain. At your service, Princess." He said in the same tone as Shiro and knelt down in front of her.

The Princess turned back to Keith and said, " Is it alright if I take these two?"

Keith smiled and nodded at her, " Of course, if you would like."

" Thank you." She replied and turned back to Shiro and Lance with bright eyes.

" Shall we go then?" She said and started walking towards the entrance of the castle with Lance and Shiro following behind her.

Before they went in, Shiro glanced back at Katie with a worried expression. She didn't want him to worry so she smiled and gave him a thumbs-up that said, " I'll be fine."

He nodded with sincere eyes and followed the Princess inside.

Katie sighed as she watched two of the four people she truly trusted disappear inside with the Princess.

The Altea King and the silver long haired man picked their own knights and were escorted inside.

Katie watched as the knights around her disappeared along with the royals and held her anger in.

' Maybe it was better if I wasn't picked..' She thought sadly and walked back to her assigned room with Nickolas and who she thought was Theo.

Half of their group was missing so the room was almost dead silent without Lance to make lame jokes and sarcastic comments.

Now that she thought about it, she kinda missed him messing around.

' It'll only be for a couple of days, right?' She thought and silently changed out of her armor, making sure the boys were not around.

As her head hit the pillow, she quickly fell asleep.

In the morning, Katie got up and did what she needed to do. She suited up and went with Theo and Nickolas for some training.

As she was striking a dummy, Keith came around the corner with a bunch of servants on his tail. He suddenly stops, seeing Katie and Katie thought nervously,

' What if he recognizes me?!'
