Prince Blaine was starstruck. He had never seen someone with so much beauty, grace, and charm. Blaine was a virgin and he had never felt anything for another man. He was always so busy in his kingdom that it didn't give him time to think about dating. Either way he couldn't expose who he really was because of what his father's feared could happen. Blaine always thought that his destiny was to be forever alone. To never show the world who he really was because of his royal roots.

King Cooper welcomed his royal guests personally after he came down. Blaine observed the king as he talked with his guests. Tina was busy talking to another royal, that she didn't notice Blaine frozen and staring at the handsome king. After Tina's friend left, she saw Blaine frozen while staring at the king with an expression on his face that she had never seen before from him. "Blaine, are you ok?," she asked anxiously. "Uh...yeah...I'm fine...," he said to the queen. The king approached them both and Blaine hadn't notice because the king came up from behind him to speak with Queen Tina. "Queen Tina, so nice of you to come to my special gathering!, "the royal said to her. "Well thank you for inviting me, "she replied. "My pleasure...and is this your soon to be king?," he asked her while looking at Prince Blaine. "Oh no. This is my friend, Prince Blaine, son of King Everett of NYADA," she informed him. The king eyed the young prince curiously and said, "Well I never knew King Everett had an heir to the throne,". "I'm his only child," the prince managed to say to the king. "You seem like a nice young man and I hope to get to know more from you Prince Blaine, " he said to the young royal. Blaine nodded. "Well it was a pleasure meeting you young prince," he said and extended his hand towards Blaine for a handshake. Blaine eyed his hand for bit before shaking it. Blaine felt goose-bumps as he made contact with the gorgeous man. The king excused himself and went on to greet the rest of the guests.

Soon it was time for the royal banquet. All of the royals entered another giant room with big round tables and chairs. The tables and chairs were made of a dark green rock. Blaine figured that they were made from Colombian emeralds. The king sat with the top royals. King Finn, Queen Rachel, King Sam, Queen Santana, and of course Tina and Blaine. They all dined together and were sharing stories from their kingdoms. King Cooper wanted everyone's attention. He asked them about what they would do if an orphanage was asking for more money and kept on interrupting their everyday duties as a monarch. The orphanage was the only one in the kingdom of Lima and did a great job with poor kids and took great care of them. The workers wanted the king to possibly make the orphanage bigger. Or move it to a bigger building due to the amount of homeless children going in the orphanage. But the king hated giving away money to causes that didn't make him any more powerful or richer. "I'm thinking of demolishing that orphanage...it's causing me too much money to maintain it and I'm getting tired of having to go visit all those needy brats," he arrogantly told the other royals. Everyone agreed and didn't say a word to him. They were all scared of Cooper. They knew what he was capable of doing if someone dared to go against him. But Prince Blaine didn't. And Prince Blaine was not scared to speak his mind when it came to something he believed in. The prince was really brave because he always fights for what he believes in. Even if it meant that he had to stand up to the most powerful king in the world by himself. "Why would you do such a thing to those poor children?, "the prince spoke up. They're orphans, they don't have anywhere to go...you can't...you can't just take away the one thing they have that's close to a home," the prince said concerned. Everyone was staring at him at the table with fear in their eyes because he went against the king's views. "And just who do you think you are to tell me what to do with my kingdom?, " asked Cooper calmly but everyone could hear the intensity in his voice. "What you are doing is wrong...and you know it...why are you so selfish? Aren't you happy with all that you have already?,'' asked the prince. "That is none of your concern," said the king growing more impatient. Prince Blaine began to shake his head in disbelief that someone with so much beauty on the outside, could have the heart to do such a thing."Don't you have a heart?," the prince asked. The king jolted his head up to look at Blaine in the eyes and swallowed hard. Those were the same exact words his queen used to say to him before they married. If anyone made him a kinder person, it was her. She always had made him happy. And before he met her, he was the same way he is now. Maybe even worse. "Don't you have a heart?,'' she asked him one day when he refused to help out a family in need because they asked for too much money. She brought out the good in the king. She made him happy and the people loved her for that. That's why the people cried and mourned her death when she passed away. No one could believe that Queen Quinn had died. The people decided to build a statue in memory of her in Starlet Park to remember their beautiful blonde queen, who had an enormous heart .

Hearing those words made the king feel as if someone had just dumped an ice cold bucket of water on him. He looked into Prince Blaine's eyes and saw something. A sparkle that he hadn't seen on anyone but his loving queen. During that whole time, Blaine had kept on talking. Then Cooper finally spoke up. "Fine". "...Wait...Wha...What did you say?," asked the prince. "Fine...I won't do it...I'll keep the orphanage around and give them all the money that they need," he said looking down. "Don't worry...the kids will be alright," he said finally looking up at Blaine.

Everyone at the table was in disbelief. They had never known anyone that could change the king's mind, or have the balls to stand up to him. No one besides his deceased wife. "You won't demolish the orphanage?, " asked the prince. Cooper just shook his head no and Blaine thanked him for it. Cooper just nodded and got up to leave. The king spent the rest of the evening in his imperial room. He didn't even said goodbye to his guests. Around midnight all the royals started to leave back to their kingdoms.

It had been a week since the royal banquet and Prince Blaine had just gotten back to his mansion from visiting the citizens of NYADA when one of his workers handed him a letter that was sent in the mail to his name. "Well this is odd...no one ever sends me anything, " he thought to himself. He looked at it and it said that it was from the kingdom of Lima. He opened it only to see a handwritten letter inside. He started reading it.

"Prince Blaine, I want to apologize for my bad behavior during the royal banquet. I also want to thank you for making me change my mind about the orphanage. You have a lot of balls for someone your size to stand up and question the most powerful king in the world. Truth is, no one had ever talked to me in that manner and made me think deeply about the person I was becoming that night. I don't want to be hated by everyone. And you reminded me of someone that I once used to know that once brought out the good in me. Anyway, the whole purpose of this letter is to invite you to my kingdom once again. But this time, you're my only guest. You seem like a bright young man and I want to get some ideas from you about my kingdom. I can't wait until you visit and once again, thank you.

Sincerely, King Cooper

Prince Blaine was in shock. He just read that he influenced the king in a way that he wanted to meet up with him. Just the two of them. The most powerful and beautiful king of all time wanted to see him again and said that he couldn't wait to see him. He felt butterflies in his stomach at the thought. He folded the letter and went upstairs to his room to put it up. The next day, he got up and readied himself for the king. He got on his private jet and flew in the direction towards the kingdom of Lima.

To Be Continued...
