Choices

Back at the palace King Shiro was feeling kind of skeptical about the princess's arrival. As with the other ones he thought that Keith might choose one this time. Was it money Keith was looking for? Looks? Shiro has tried everything but nothing seemed to have pleased Keith.

He might ask this ones father if it could become an arranged marriage, because they can't keep waiting for Keith to make a choice, yet the idea still displeased him.

A guard opening the doors to his throne room, broke him out of his trance.

"Yes?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Allura has arrived," the guard bowed, waiting for his orders. Shiro let out a frustrated groan. The hope in his heart disappearing instantly.

"Alright. Show her to the Great Hall and tell Prince Keith's nursemaid to fetch him from his whereabouts." 

"Yes your Majesty."

Shiro stood up and signaled the guard away. When he left the throne room he couldn't help but wonder what his wife would have done. Ah, she was always clever with these types of things.

"Prince, where have you been?!?" The nursemaid called just as Keith walked out of the garden. She was red faced and panting hard, and he felt bad for her.

"I do apologize Ma'am, but I was wandering the garden, I must not have heard you calling for me." Keith went to hug her for her to refuse.

"Aye, don't want you smelling of nurse sweat right before you meet the Princess Allura of Altea, right?" Keith didn't answer. He didn't want to see a princess, he didn't even want to be in the palace.

"Follow me dear Prince, I was ordered to bring you to the Great Hall a good thirty minutes ago," she ushered him toward the palace, allowing a bit of familial banter between them to calm each other's nerves.

When they reached the doors of the great hall, Keith stopped them both from entering.

"What are you-"

"shh!" Keith interrupted.

"Well your majesty, if it's an arranged marriage that you're asking for then my father might have to reconsider the payment of this situation." It was a woman? She had strength in her voice that no one else had. She must be a strong princess.

"Oh yes Princess, money won't be an important factor, I've just needed my son to make a choice and since he refuses to even look at the women I bring over, I have no other choice." Shiro sounded displeased, but all the while comment got Keith's blood boiling.

"Wait my prince-" the nursemaid harshly whispered but it was too late. Keith pushed open the doors and stomped straight into his fathers space.

"What do you mean arranged marriage?" Keith growled, his fists were clenched and his jaw tight. If he didn't know better he would have punched his father. But his father being the king, he would most likely be killed for treason.

"Son, you must understand that for you to become king, you'll need a queen to be there for you when the stress of the country becomes to much," Shiro looked over to the princess apologetically, and only then did Keith notice her.
