The Knight of Voltron

Traitor Pt 2

Keith's POV

So much for telling the Princess I've half Galra. If that wasn't hard enough having a traitor who is Galra, or at least part might make me a suspect if I came clean. However, what's more troubling is that they are a palace guard. That would explain everything. But what's worse is that they could be lingering around in the palace as we speak. They could be following the Princess whenever they can and she wouldn't even know it. 

On top of that, they are only part Galra, meaning they might not even look the part. They could look like other aliens but have the blood of a Galra...like me apparently. 

But regardless, if they are a guard, then the Princesses are in danger. 

"Princess!" I called out as I approached her as she took her leave. "Princess, I don't think it's safe for you and Princess Romelle to talk or be freely among other guards." I explained. 

Princess Allura looked at me as Pidge approached. "Very well, Pidge please come with me." 

What?

"Uh, Allura-" Pidge was cut off by me.

"But Princess I am your knight. Pidge is Princess Romelle's knight."

"I am aware, but I must speak with Pidge about something." Allura said as Pidge passed me by. At Pidge was confused but one look at Allura and it was if Pidge knew what was going on.

"I got this." Pidge said as she walked with Alura to the edge of the Black Lion's chambers. 

"Looks like you got dumped." Lance said resting his elbow on my shoulder. I immediately shrugged him off.

"I thought you were going back to your "girlfriends" in the citadel." I replied. 

"Jeez, they are just some admirers. Can't you tell a joke when you here it?"

"I was being sarcastic." I replied.

"You were supposed to use a sarcastic voice." Lance said before he grasped at the air as if it would release his pent up anger. "Anyways, you and Allura break up?"

"We what?" D-Did he just mean-

"Not that way. I meant your dynamic duo. You know Princess Allura and her Knight Sir Keith. You know, kinda like Princess Romelle and her knight Lady Pidge." Lance explained. 

"N-No. No. She's just talking to Pidge. I'm still her knight." I replied. 

"Take it easy. It was just a question." Lance replied as I took a breath.

"I-I think it's fine just- Allura's starting to act strange." I confided in Lance. 

"Dude, she's an alien."

"Not like that. I know her obviously because I watch her and protect her. I mean weirder than normal. She's acting distant."

"Ah, I get it." Lance said, "Well what'd you do?" Why does everyone assume it was my fault. I just- I took a deep breath.

"Pidge thinks it's because of something I said."

"Yeah, that helps." Lance said sarcastically, "Well if you said something offensive just apologize."

"It wasn't offensive."

"Well then, what was it?" If Pidge is right and If what I'm thinking is right then...I can't casually go around saying it. 

"Keith!" Pidge hollered as she walked up from Allura. "I got to catch up with Romelle so you need to look after the Princess." Pidge informed me. 

"What do I do?" Lance asked. 

"Go question Guards with Hunk." Pidge said told Lance. Lance sighed as he walked away. 

"And Keith, don't mess things up again." Pidge warned. 

No One's POV

Pidge took off out the chambers to find Romelle who was last seen in the citadel. Keith wlaked off with Allura as Hunk began leaving the black lions chambers calling back to Lance. 

"Lance come on. We need to begin out search for the traitor." Hunk said, "I'm thinking we start with the palace guards. Classic interrogation, good knight, bad knight. What do you think?" Hunk asked.

"Or we could inspect their rooms. All knights room."

"Oh, that sounds like a lot of work."

"It's effective. We do it when they won't know so they won't have time to hide anything." Lance suggested.

"Whoa! That's smart." Hunk said facing back to Lance. "Alright, let do it. We can start with the first floor and make our way up." Hunk said as he left the chambers. 

Lance stood alone in the Black Lions chambers.

Soon, his clothes altered colors and they changed entirely, and his skin turned purple and his short brown hair grew out into long white locks.

"What a bunch of morons." The traitor said. "To not even notice your own teammate was replaced. This is going to be too easy."
