Ch.5*A New Suitor*

Kurt's POV

Kurt had been searching all over the palace for Sebastian, for what seemed like hours, and hadn't found him anywhere. He was beginning to worry that he had pushed Sebastian to give up hope and leave, which he really hoped was not the case because he wanted to marry him! He walked up to the double doors of the library hoping his, hopefully, soon to be fiancee was in there, he recalled Sebastian telling him that he loved to read. Once he opened the doors, he immediately saw Sebastian sitting in an arm chair in the center of the room by a massive fireplace. Sighing with relief, he approached him and sat at the matching stool in front of the arm chair. The moment he sat down, Sebastian's eyes lifted from the book he was reading, with a title that Kurt couldn't see, and he all but flew at Kurt, taking him in his arms.

"Oh, Kurt! I have been so worried! Are you allright?"

Kurt inhaled the scent of minty tobacco and tree moss that was wafting off of the man holding him. The smell wasn't repulsive but nor was it delightful. "I am allright, Sebastian. Thank you for your concern. I am here to apologize for my rude behaviour lately. I should never have been so distant and cold toward you and for that I am sorry! The only explanation I have is that there has been so much on my mind lately and decisions that I have had to make that I have been feeling very overwhelmed and it made me afraid. But everything is allright now I assure you."

Sebastian smiled as he took Kurt's hand, placing a soft kiss to the knuckles,"I am glad that everything is allright. I figured it had to be something like that because it all started after I mentioned seeing the gardens of my home and them being yours. You seemed flustered and ran away. I thought I had said something that had offended you."

Kurt shook his head,"No you had not. I was just shocked and afraid. This having to choose a husband business has been quite dificult for me and I am afraid that I have not been handling it well. But now that I have had a few days to think about things and get my mind back in order, I have figured everything out. I now know what it is that I want."

Sebastian cupped Kurt's cheek with his hand while gazing deep into his glasz eyes,"What is it that you want, Kurt?"

Kurt smiled and rested the hand, that wasn't being held by Sebastian, on top of the one on his cheek,"I want.."

"Prince Kurt!",his lady-in-waiting called as she walked into the room, effectively ruining the moment,"Your father requests your presence in the throne room immediately."

Kurt sighed,"Allright, Brittney. Thank you!" Brittney smiled, and waved at Sebastian, before bowing and leaving the room. Kurt looked back at Sebastian who was looking at him dreamily,"I am so sorry Sebastian! Could we perhaps continue this conversation in the garden before dinner?"

Sebastian took Kurt in his arms again,"Of course, darling! I can hardly wait until then!"

Kurt wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck and placed a kiss on his cheek,"Neither can I dear."

With that he unwrapped the arms around his waist, stood up, and left the room. Of course, he turned around before he left and flashed Sebastian a flirtacious smile. He knew he probably looked like a fool as he skipped down to the throne room with a mega watt smile on his face, but he simply didn't care.

Blaine's POV

The palace of Lima was nothing if not absolutely stunning, Blaine concluded as they approached the steps to the front doors of the palace. "State your names, where you are from and what your business is here!",one of the guards said with a protective and no nonsense tone.

Blaine had to admit that if all of the knights of Lima were like this then he was definitely going to be impressed, this knight was just as protective of the royal family as the knights of Westerville are. "I am Prince Blaine Anderson Crown Prince of Westerville. This is Lord Wesley Montgomery and Sir David Thompson also of Westerville and Lady Rachel Berry-Abrams of The GAP. We are here to speak to King Burt about my hopeful courting of his son, Prince Kurt.

The guard nodded,"One moment please.",before walking into the palace. As soon as he had left, he returned,"Allright, if you would all follow me the King will see you now."

He motioned for a few nearby servant boys to take their horses and belongings to their rightful places before turning to walk back into the palace. They all followed behind him and the second they were past the threshold, their eyes took in the gorgeous grand foyer.

It was a massive space with two grand staircases leading up to hallways with many rooms and many more starcases. The floors and walls were marble, wherever there was carpet it was a deep blood red, there were banners of red and white with gold embroidered wolves in the center hanging everywhere, various plants and exquisite art were perfectly placed. Everywhere you looked there were servants happily singing and chatting as they worked. It was really quite a breathtaking sight to behold. The guard eventually led them to two massive, pure gold double doors with carvings of wolves in various stages on them, which were opened immediately as they approached.

"Please wait here as I announce you.",the guard stated as he left them to walk into the room. "A Prince Blaine Anderson of Westerville and his confidants are waiting to speak to you Your Majesty.",they heard him announce.

Suddenly a booming, authoritative voice that could only belong to a true King rang out,"Thank you, Nick! Please send them in and then go accompany Jeff at the front."

The guard, Nick, was back at once,"Go right on in."

Blaine nodded,"Thank you Nick."

He led his friends into the massive throne room, which was equally as beautiful as the rest of the palace, which was surrounded by the leaders of the knights as well as various lords and ladies of Lima. But what really caught Blaine's eye was the intimidating man sitting at a magnificent throne at the front of the room looking over papers with the knight leaders and a curly haired man with a staff and a long forest green robe.

Once the four got to the steps that led up to the throne, Blaine spoke up with his head held high,"Pardon the intrusion Your Highness. I am Prince Blaine Anderson Crown Prince of Westerville. This is Lord Wesley Montgomery and Sir David Thompson also of Westerville and this is Lady Rachel Berry-Abrams of The GAP. We are here because I am interested in courting your son, Prince Kurt, in hopes that he will marry me and bring an alliance between the great countries of Lima and Westerville. Not to mention, if it isn't to bold, it is rumored that your son is a great beauty that whoever shall wed him will be truely lucky indeed. I hope to be the one to receive that honor.",he finished with a polite bow.

He had made the rumor up but he figured flattering King Burt about his son would help him out. Besides, Kurt must be at least a little bit attractive if he has had so many suitors in the past year. It was then that Blaine noticed that all eyes were on him and those who couldn't see him were straining to do so. The worst would have to be the curly haired man up by the King who was obviously scrutinizing him. He swallowed heavily and turned his eyes back to the King, who had been staring at him expressionless. Suddenly the King's face broke out into a warm smile before he clapped his hands and let out a loud "HA!" before he stood up.

"Welcome! Welcome! I am King Bertram but you four may call me Burt! It's what I prefer. It is very nice to meet you all!", he walked down the steps and began shaking hands with Blaine, Wes, and David before planting a kiss to Rachel's,"I appreciate your compliments and interest in my son, Prince Blaine. He is very beautiful indeed! Looks just like his mother, may she rest in peace! But now to business! Of course, I will let you court him if he approves! Let me fetch him so the two of you can meet and we will see what he says! Will someone get Brittney for me? Please tell her that it is urgent!"

A young girl bowed before running out of the room to do as she was told. Almost at once the girl was back with a beautiful blond woman who ran up to the King at once and bowed. "Brittney please find Kurt and tell him that I request his presence here immediately"

She nodded,"Yes Your Kinglyness!"

With that she was gone. Burt sighed with a smile on his face,"That Brittney! Kurt insisted on having her as his lady-in-waiting though. Sweet girl even if she is lacking almost all of her brain cells."

Suddenly a sharply dressed woman who could only be the Queen, if the crown placed highly on her head was any indication, came into the room and Burt clapped again,"My dear! There you are! We have some guests that I would like you to meet. They will be possibly staying with us for awhile. This is Prince Blaine Anderson Crown Prince of Westerville. He's here because he wants to court Kurt. And this is Lord Wesley Montgomery and Sir David Thompson of Westerville. And this is Lady Rachel Berry-Abrams of The GAP. Everyone this is my beautiful wife and Kurt's stepmother, Queen Carole."

The Queen lifted an eyebrow and gave, what Blaine thought was supposed to be a smile but turned out as a sneer,"Charmed i'm sure!"

Blaine smiled and bowed,"It's a pleasure to meet you Your Highness!",he had been taught that the best way to get back at a rude person was to kill them with kindness. The Queen's eyes turned into slits as she looked at him, as if she knew what he was doing.

"And this is my royal advisor and bestfriend, Viceroy William Schuester!",Burt said as he motioned toward the curly haired man.

The Viceroy smiled as he desceneded the stairs,"It is very nice to meet you all! Welcome to Lima! If any of you need anything I would be more then happy to assist you!",he bowed to the group.

Blaine smiled, relieved that not everyone in Lima was like the stuck up Queen,"Thank you Viceroy! It's very nice to meet you as well!",he returned the bow.

Burt, once more, clapped his hands,"Once Brittney returns with Kurt and the two of you meet, I will have her show you all to your rooms. And I do hope that after you have all settled and rested that you will join us for dinner in the dining hall. I would very much like for you all to meet the rest of the family!"

Blaine smiled"We would be honored Your Majesty!"

Burt let out another booming laugh,"Wonderful! Wonderful! But I feel that I must warn you that you are not the only suitor that Kurt has here. Prince Sebastian Smythe, Crown Prince of Cincinatti, has been here for two months so I am afraid that he does have that advantage. Also, my son is very stubborn and independent. I'm afraid that he will not make it easy for you."

Blaine smirked,"Thank you for the warning Sire! I will keep that in mind but I must confess that i'm not worried. Your son will choose the man who's best for him and the kingdom i'm sure."

Burt smirked back,"Don't say I didn't warn you though!" Just then the doors opened and Burt let out a pleased call,"Ah! Kurt! There is someone I want you to meet! This is Prince Blaine Anderson Crown Prince of Westerville and his friends! Prince Blaine is interested in pursuing you for your hand in marriage!"

Blaine turned to, finally, lay eyes on the man he was pursuing, with a dashing smile that dropped the moment he saw him. "Wow!",was all he could think until Kurt lifted his eyes and met Blaine's and then Blaine could think no more.

I hope you all enjoyed! Please review whether it's good, bad, or even just to say hi! I would love to hear from you all! Kurt and Blaine officially meet in the next chapter! Finally! :)
