Chapter 40||| New Paladin

Y/n P.O.V
Location: Castle of Lions, ???pm

"Wish Shiro were here to tell us how to go on without him." Lance said as put his arm on his knee, I looked at him and sighed while looking down.

"Allura, when we came here you told me that I would fly the green lion and I didn't believe you. But then I flew it. And you told Hunk he would fly the yellow lion, and he did even though he wasn't a pilot.....Now looking back, you told everyone who would pilot which lion."

Hunk almost jumped out of his seat as he realized what Pidge just said, "Yeah, how did you do that? Did we ever talk about how you did it or find out? Can you do it now?"

She shook her head, "Sadly no. When you all arrived at the castle, I instantly recognized the special qualities in each one of you. But I don't know how to search the entire universe for a new paladin."

Coran then looked up at Keith who was keeping to himself and was standing away from the team.

"Keith, you piloted the Black Lion when you had to save Shiro and Y/n. Perhaps you're the one."
"Keith would be the worst leader of Voltron!"

"Lance."
"What?!"

I looked at him with a stern face as he just crossed his arms.

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Yeah, we all have our thing." Pidge agreed as she continued with her reasoning, "Keith's the loner, I'm the brain. Hunk's the nice one, Allura's the decision maker. Coran's the wise old man, Alina is the innocent one or the little sister. Y/n's the caretaker and sometimes the responsible one. Sometimes. And Lance's the goofball."

"Yeah exactly, totally right- Wait a minute. I'm not a goofball, I'm the cool ninja sharpshooter." Lance said smirking.

"Are you joking?" Keith scoffed as a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm being absolutely serious when I'm saying, I do not want you to lead me anywhere!"
"I don't want be the leader, that's what Shiro wanted!"

Everyone looked at Keith confused.

"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing."
"Shiro wanted you to be his successor. Right?"

"I never heard Shiro say that, besides how convenient you're being it up now that Shiro's gone."

"If you guys want the job so badly, why don't you have it!" Keith said that in a outburst of rage. They all got quiet for a few seconds, until they started to argue within themselves on who should lead/ride the Black Lion.

I looked at Keith as he looked back at me, we both kept quiet as he decided not to say anything for now.

"...Besides it's not our decision to make. It's the black lion's."
"Coran is right, we all must present ourselves to the black lion."

"That won't work."
"What Keith?"
"Shiro told Y/n the same thing he told me, he also wanted Y/n to lead, why not make him the Black Paladin. He earned Shiro's trust so why not make him the new paladin?"

Keith looked away with his arms crossed as he was saying that. I was shocked as I thought Keith wasn't going to bring that up, my throat became dry as I didn't know what to say. My face was also red due to the embarrassment.

"I-I..."
"Is this true?"
"Well, yes. But we still don't know if the Lion would accept me as a paladin."

I laughed nervously as they all looked at each other then looked back at me.

"It doesn't hurt to present ourselves to the Lion still, right?" They all agreed with me as they left the room, Keith just looked at me as his face expression was confused/angry.
