Tears came out of Katie's eyes before she could notice and she quickly wiped them away after she did.

The Queen's past was just....so sad..

She glanced quickly at Keith who also seemed to have tears threatening to leak.

' Even if he did love me, we wouldn't be able to be together because I'm just another commoner in his life..'

The doctor cleared his misty eyes and smiled at Keith.

" Anything else?"

" No doctor. Thank you for telling me." Keith answered and lowered his head in respect for the elder man.

" Of course, now you must be going on your way to search for the Princess."

" That's right." He said out loud but he forgot about how Allura was missing after hearing his mom's past.

The short boy left first and then Keith after a few moments of looking at Lance.

He had wanted to ask other questions but said no instead because many things were on his mind but now he needed to focus on the search.

Keith sighed. He had just danced with Allura in the ballroom and then she went with Lotor and her knights..

' Lotor and King Alfor must be the most affected..' He thought and walked down the hallways he roamed when he was younger.

He passed by many knight groups searching for Allura and talked to the Head Guard.

" Young Sir, I am sorry to say but the Princess is nowhere to be found on castle grounds right now."

" I see..Call off the knights, it will be useless searching for her when she is not in the area anymore. We will search the whole Kingdom when my father gives the word."

Keith said in his commanding tone and the guard gave a salute, " Yes Sir!"

Keith flinched a little bit at how easily the Head Guard of the Kingdom easily accepted his orders.

' I have to get used to this,'  He told himself in his head, ' I'll be the King one day..'

He looked off to the distance where the Head Guard was barking orders to the knights,

' I just hope I'll be able to handle it.'

                                                              ***

Katie returned tiredly to her room looking out for Theo every now and then out of fear.

' He knows...He KNOWS.'  She thought, 

' What am I suppose to do now? What if he reveals me? I could convince him but my convincing skills go nowhere..I could bribe him but his family is way wealthier and I don't get my pay until the end of this month..' 

She jumped when the door opened with a quiet click and Nickolas and Theo walked in.

As soon as Nickolas went into his room, Theo fixed his curious but cautious gray eyes on her.

"So.." Katie started and averted her eyes from his.

" So?" He repeated and leaned against the wall casually.

There was silence from her so Theo asked directly making sure to be quiet enough that Nickolas would not hear.

" Care to explain who you really are and what you're doing here?"
