Chapter 17: The Heiress New Bodyguard ~ Keith
Keith remains quiet for a few moments, thinking through what has been offered to him by King Duncan and the Council. If Keith leaves, he must hide again so he won't be captured. But since he is under a spell, he needs help to return to human form. The only contact that he has encountered is the Celestial Beings, who believed that they could help him. However, he remembers that some creatures from other planets are still learning to trust the Galra from the blades since there is no Galran Empire anymore. So, he thought that he could help them to learn how to trust him while he is staying here.
As Keith is thinking through it, he turned to Violet. Seeing how scared Violet was and he know that it wasn't coming from him. It was something else. Was it about the ball that they were talking about? Or is it something that Violet is not allowed to talk about? Keith grinned as his head is full of thoughts and he finally decided that he hopes that he won't regret it. Keith turned to King Duncan, "I-I accept," Keith spoke. "I accept to be your Princess Violet's Bodyguard."
"Wise choice," King Duncan nodded as he hides his grin.
The Council Members mutter one to another as one of them is taking notes.
Twilight puffed as she shrugged.
Violet smiled as she is screaming with joy from the inside.
"Twilight," King Duncan turned to his elder niece.
Twilight flinched as her eyes turned red and black. "Y-yes, sir?"
"Take this…Keith to the armory," King Duncan ordered. "Aurora and Luther have a lot to teach him the ways of being a bodyguard for a Royal One or any Celestial Being."
"Yes sir," Twilight bowed as her eyes changed from black and red to white against light red. "Let's go, Keith."
"Uh sure, lead the way." Keith nodded as he started to follow Twilight.
"Violet," King Duncan spoke.
"Yes?" Violet nervously asked.
"Return to your studies," King Duncan ordered. "And be ready for the Sabbath for tonight, we all got a lot of work ahead of us today. Including preparation plans for your Name-Day, understand?"
"Yes sir," Violet bowed.
"Good, you may good." King Duncan dismissed his niece. Slowly, King Duncan ended the council meeting and allowed them to do the news for the Kingdoms of Heaven will know what have happened. Leaving King Duncan alone in the room, for him to clear his head.
While King Duncan is alone, he sat down on his throne and sighed. "Am I doing the right thing?" King Duncan turned to the shadows. Suddenly, something had moved within. Began to whisper for his reply.
Within the hallway, Twilight and Keith have been walking to the south wing of the palace. Twilight calmly mumbles while both she and Keith have been walking. Keith on the other hand felt guilty for leaving Violet alone. But within Keith's heart, he knows what Violet's uncle and the council are doing. Suddenly, both Twilight and Keith have stopped at a door. "Well, here we are." Twilight spoke, "A place where you can get your training to be a Bodyguard for a Celestial Being."
"Uh…" Keith looked at the door.
"So," Twilight grabbed the door handle. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be," Keith shrugged.
Twilight smirked as her eyes turned pale lavender as she opens the door.
As the door opens, the room lit up. The room has shapes of familiar figures that are ready to be introduced.
