Lance walked down the long corridor to the dinning room. His father, King Alfor, had called for him. Lance already knew his sister, Princess Allura, was already down there, talking to there father about anything political or stuff that involved the Kingdom. Though Lance liked politics and things that were going on in the Kingdom, Allura, being the older sibling, was next in line for the throne. Lance honestly didn't mind, he knew that she would make a great Queen.

As Lance inched closer towards the door, he could hear not only his Father and Sister's voices but new voices that he was unfamiliar with. Lance paused at the door, took a deep breathe in and let it out. He put on a nice, polite, small smile for who ever was in there.

Lance pushed the doors open and stepped into the dinning room. He looked at the visitors, who we're Galran? A women and a boy. Lance was confused, but kept the smile on his face. He then walked over to Allura and sat next to her.

"Lance my son, I would like you to meet our newest alliance members." Lance smiled at them. They stood up and bowed.

"Prince Lance, it's good to finally meet you in person. My name is Queen Krolia. This is my son, Prince Keith." The Queen stated.

"Please call me Keith," The boy rolled his eyes playfully. His eyes were a beautiful purple-greyish color.  Lance thought they were unique.

While Queen Krolia and King Alfor talked about economics, history on there Kingdoms, and there other Allies, Lance had a bone to pick with his sister.

Lance looked at Allura, making eye contact. Wtf is going on here! Lance used his telepathy trick he had been working on. Lance, Father will explain. But what do you think about Prince Keith? Allura thought wiggling her eyebrows at him, knowing Lance would hear it. He's... cute... Is he an Alpha? Lance asked Allura.

Yes, and he's sweet! Give him a chance, Lance! You might actually like him once you get to know him. Lance looked away. He didn't want to start with Allura right now, especially in front of the new Allies. He didn't feel like arguing that he was different, and that he felt that no one would ever truly love him.

Lance knew he was different. Not just because his hair was a light brown, instead of white like the normal Altean Royal's. It was because of some old legend. He was supposedly immortal, according to the legend, a royal baby who has the gift of immortality, will be born with a different hair color than white in its early life. Apparently, it's supposed to turn white like the normal royals after they live a couple hundred years. It is also said, that the Immortal's true love would stay alive with them for an infinity, and that the two we're the true rulers of the Galaxy. The only problem was that Lance
didn't want to live or rule forever.

"Prince Lance, if you don't mind, why is your hair light brown instead of white like your sisters or Fathers?" Keith asked. Lance glanced up at him.

"Please, call me Lance," Lance told him. "Umm... Birth effect?" Lance shrugged his shoulders while he sipped on his water. Keith could tell the boy sitting in front of him was lying straight to his face.

Keith was trying to restrain himself from already courting Lance. His sweet omega scent filling the air. He smelt of vanilla with a touch of caramel & sea salt. Keith was falling for Lance every second.

"So, let's tell my son why he was invited here tonight." King Alfor started. "Son, I've called you here tonight because we have important business to discuss. The Kogane Empire is one of the last remaining Royal Family's, besides us. Allura would have married Keith, but she is already to marry Prince Alinc, plus she's a beta. So, you are the next in line."

Lance's face said it all. His face was pure shock, with a tiny blush hinting at his cheeks. "M-Marrige! But Father I-" Lance cut himself off. He took a deep breathe. "Father, I-" Lance paused looked at Keith, then looked down at his lap. "Alright," Lance said disappointed that he couldn't talk for himself. "I think I need some fresh air."Lance got up, pushed his chair in, and as his breath hitched with his eyes threatening to spill over with tears, he fought it.

"Keith, I am sorry about Lance's behavior tonight," King Alfor said. "He has a great power he gets to share with his lover, but it never crossed his mind he would have to be in an arranged marriage.." King Alfor looked at Keith. "You should go after him... He will only yell at me and Allura..." Keith nodded. He excused himself from the dinner table and left the dinning room. He followed the sweet scent of Lance.
