Keith and Pidge were summoned along with Allura and Romelle to the Catsle of Lion hall to rectangular table. They awaited Coran.
Coran was heading to the hall when he was stopped by a fellow knight; Sir Iverson.
"Good you have returned. We need your assistance right away." Coran said. Iverson gave Coran a look that made him tremble.
When Coran arrived he seemed shaken up. He shook it off and walked to the head of the table. Allura and Romelle sat at both his sides with Keith next to Allura and Pidge next to Romelle.
"Coran I don't think this is necessary." Allura stated.
"Allura, I promised your father I'd look after you and Romelle. Promise to keep you safe from danger. Thats what i intend to do." Coran said sitting down.
"What do you want us to do Coran?" Keith asked.
"You two are to never leave the Princesses alone." Coran said.
"Coran, but what is to happen if Keith or I are called away?" Pidge asked.
"I want you two to assemble a pair of knights who you two would trust to watch the Princesses." Coran explained.
"Coran, wouldn't it be better if you could summon Shiro back." Keith suggested, "Shiro is the leader of the Voltron Knights and more experienced. We could use his help."
"Indeed." Coran said, "Unfortunately Shiro is needed more elsewhere. So we must make do with what we have."
"Excuse me Coran but what about when we fall asleep. Keith and Pidge would need to sleep when we sleep." Romelle said.
"We will double the guards and have patrols posted outside of your rooms." Coran said.
Coran soon had them dismissed but he held Pidge back.
"Pidge, I need to discuss something with you." Coran said.
"Sure, but shouldn't Keith be here?" Pidge asked.
"It's best he isn't." Coran said.

With Allura, Romelle, and Keith
"Keith do you have an idea about who that woman was?" Allura asked.
"Someone who's gonna try to kill us." Romelle said.
"I don't know. Its possible she was sent by the Galra but I'm not sure." Keith said.
"That makes me feel safe." Romelle said sarcasticly.
"We'll do our best." Keith said.
Pidge came out of the hall as she put her glasses back on.
"Pidge, What's wrong?" Keith asked.
"Nothing. Coran says he's having Hunk and Lance search areans around the arena for the mystery woman." Pidge said.
"So what do we do?" Keith asked.
"He would like us to show the new recruits around." Pidge said.
The four of them are all showing the new recruits around the castle of lions.
"The Castle of Lions has its own kicthen, dinning hall, training room, pool-"
"I wouldn't recommend going to the pool." Keith said cutting Allura off.
"Anyway. You all will be getting rooms and own armor. Womans rooms are located on the right of the kicthen and the mens room are on the left." Allura said.
"Breakfast is served at eight and training starts at nine and last till ten thirty." Pidge said.
"After that, you will report to your assigned areas on guard. You are to not leave your post without notifying your partner." Keith said.
"If you'll follow us, we'll show you to your rooms." Allura said.
They showed the new recruits to their rooms. At this time it was the afternoon. The knights were getting ready for the ceremony were the recruits will offically become nobleman. Keith and Pidge were if their armor;

"Who are you gonna pick to watch the Princess when you can't?" Pidge asked Keith.
"I could ask you the same. Do you think the person you pick can handle Romelle?" Keith asked.
"You have a point."
"I'm thinking about Veronica maybe or possible Griffin." Keith said.
"I thought you didn't like Griffin because he was your childhood bully." Pidge said.
"That's true but he is very skilled. It doesn't matter who he is, just as long as they are capable of protecting the Princess." Keith said. Pidge nodded in agreement.
"I think I'll choose Veronica. She seems pretty skilled. Plus it would annoy Lance." Pidge said. Keith and Pidge laughed. When the laughter died out it was quiet as time passed.
"How long does it normally take a girl to get dressed?" Keith asked Pidge.
"Your asking the wrong person. It takes me fifteen minutes to put all this armor on." Pidge said. Suddenly the door knob rattled as both Romelle and Allura came out. Allura came out in the same dress she wore while Romelle wore a long pink and white dress similar to Allura's.
"Sorry, it took so long. Romelle couldn't decide what to wear." Allura said.
"I'm still not sure i like this color." Romelle said.
"Its fine. We must be going." Allura said.
They walked through the halls until they reached the Great Hall. Allura and Romelle walked across over to Coran. Keith and Pidge stood with Hunk and Lance as they Knights lined up in their orange, white, and gray armor.
"I hear by call you Veronica of the Noble knights." Lance said. One after another they became nobleman. They held a feast in the hall to celebrate the recruits. Keith and Pidge told Coran of who they believe is best to watch the Princesses. Keith got everyone's attention for an annoucment.
"Today is indeed a day to celebrate. Thanks to the apperance of that woman today Ambassodor Coran believes it is best to have knights to assist Pidge and I when we cannot. Thus, Griffion, I have chosen you to guard Princess Allura when if I'm unable to." Keith said.
Griffin's friends cheered for him like he got a promotion which in a way he did.
"And I have chosen Veronica to assist me in guarding Romelle. With a threat being made towards the crown we will need your help." Pidge said. Veronica nodded her head in agreement. Lance seemed a bit jealous that his sister would be spending more time with the Princess than he can. The celebration was over and as Keith headed to his room he saw a woman carrying towels in the Castle. He had a curious feeling about her but he couldn't pin it.
That night was peaceful. The moon shined bright and castle was quiet. Until...a loud bang woke everyone. It was as if the earth shook. Keith rose quickly. He knows that feeling, that sound, the adrenaline all too well. He ran to the nearest window to see a robeast attacking the lower town. He put on his armor as quickly as possible he had his sword in hand. He headed down the hall to meet with the other Voltron Knights.
