It's always the same. Assignments beneath your skill level just because of what you are, not because of what you can do. Wait... what do you mean? A new assignment under Emperor Zarkon himself? Finally, a chance to prove yourself. You can show everyone how important you are. Keith is Galra. Always has been and always will be. However, he is a halfbreed and always treated as a lesser being. And his father is a traitor to the empire. But then he has his chance. A new high-value prisoner has been taken to Zarkon's main ship and Keith has been tasked with guarding them. He can finally show everyone what he can do. But his luck has never worked in his favour or has it? A silver-tongued paladin who knows what Keith's heart desires. Does Keith stay with all he's ever known or will he change, gain a team, a family? A fanfic about Galra!Keith who grew up in the Galra Empire and ends up meeting a certain paladin who surprises Keith in every way. Many parts are interpreted and expanded from or based of stuff found and read online. Actual idea from https://www.tumblr.com/search/galra%20empire%20keith%20au link. Cover image not mine. Updates every two weeks unless I say otherwise
