[[Edit: Those of you re-reading or reading for the first time will notice the pov change/writing style being different. That is because I'm working on editing the updates with my older writing style, I hated looking back at them and will slowly start changing all of them. 11/30 are edited. 31 and up already have my preferred writing style.]]

Lance's p.o.v:

    Lance has been awaiting the day his father would allow him to venture out and leave their kingdom for just about his whole life, wishing to be able to attend the other kingdom's parties for as long as he could remember! He's obviously been to ones his own kingdom held, but those don't really count! He was warned repeatedly by his father and elder sister that balls are supposed to be more business than play, but he can't help but feel such excitement! He's finally been allowed to leave their castle! How can he not be excited? Events like the one he's about to attend are typically held for political reasons, whether that be trying to keep the lords and ladies of the five kingdoms pleased or keep them in check, or even so much as to give the young royals time to mingle or even find a mate. He doesn't really care for all the politics and really only cares about the possibility of making some new friends tonight, but he obviously has to keep in mind that people may approach him for their own personal gain.

    When it comes to politics and memorizing the names and faces of all the important lords and ladies, he's hopeless. That's why his goal tonight is simply friendship. If he can make just one friend tonight, he'll be content. His elder sister Allura is the rightful heir to their family's throne anyway, groomed to be the next ruler of the first altean kingdom. She can handle all that political junk far better than he could ever hope to. He's glad that he's their father's second born, not at all envious of his sister's position.

    "Are we almost there?" He asked the pilot, poking his head into the front of the ship to pester the poor man once again. He felt bad asking for what felt like the fiftieth time.. But he's just so excited! The pilot was clearly annoyed with Lance's badgering earlier but now the man looked back at the prince with a cheerful expression. "Your highness, I can happily tell you that we've arrived at the first galran kingdom and you can now attend the ball!" The pilot replied before turning his attention back to piloting, promptly finding a spot to land amongst the other guests' ships. This man sounds so happy to be rid of him and his questions for a few hours, which is honestly fair enough.

    His two knights, Leon and Morgan, exited the ship before he did. These two used to be his personal guards back when he was a pup, now they're here to look after him tonight. The one condition he had to agree to to be able to go to this event was that he had to take these two with him, otherwise his father wouldn't have let him leave. It's just a ball.. What could possibly happen? Besides that- Who's willing to mess with him? He's an alpha, and a royal one at that! And it's not like he himself is going to be looking to start a fight either. "Your highness, would you rather us walk behind you or ahead of you?" Leon asked as he anxiously straightened his white sash, his usually messy light blue hair looking strange now that it's been neatened up. These two haven't had to follow him around like this for years! Gods this is so embarrassing! Morgan also gave his appearance a once-over, apparently deciding that his blue sash looked better on the other shoulder.

    Now that they were actually preparing to enter the castle, he too was starting to get nervous. All royals bring guards with them, but they almost always stay on the ships.. But he actually has to bring these two with him. He fixed the coattails of his vest and then cleared his throat. "I'll lead the way, but I don't want it to look like I'm being babysat by my guards. So please, if you don't mind- could you guys lag behind a bit? Or maybe just watch me from the sidelines once we get inside? This is rather embarrassing for me.." He finally answered, earning a quick nod from each of his guards. With that established, Lance made his way inside the castle with his guards following a ways away behind him.
