Bepotea

The warmth in their gazes radiated so much that Queen Krolia smiled when she saw them from the balcony. Even if she didn't know who this mysterious woman with her son was, her heart was warmed by her son's tender gaze. "Your Highness, we are looking but her name is nowhere to be found on the invitations," the servant behind her told her. "Stop searching, she will tell us herself in due time...if my son loves her, we need not fear for her origin." The Queen told him, entering the palace with a warm smile. Keith and Acxa laughed as Keith wiped Kosmo's drool off her shoe. "I have one more tissue and then I can give it to you," Keith told her. "I'm waiting", Acxa replied in love. "Thank you for this evening", Acxa said and kissed him on the cheek. Keith raised his head and was about to kiss her on the lips. However, Acxa pulled back when a sudden noise was heard as if a door was opening from the balcony where the Queen had been. Three heads emerged from the balcony, the sight of which made Acxa's legs ache. They were Baron Lotor and her roommates Ezor and Zethrid. "No, they can't see me", Acxa said in terror. "I have to go, sorry" "What happened?" he grabbed her arm."I'm sorry, I can't see you again, I'm leaving tomorrow for my mission...I shouldn't know you or they'll fire me from my job.""But you don't have to go back to work, I want to marry you, you will become a princess" Keith told her, but Acxa had already gone far away to hear him. Keith held the slipper in his hands and ran after her. Keith expected Acxa to enter the palace and then descend the outer stairs, but instead she jumped over the railings around the palace and landed on the stairs with parkour moves. "Wow," Keith exclaimed, "She's amazing." Acxa turned her head back and saw Keith looking at her in bewilderment from the railings she had jumped over. She smiled at him when Keith pointed up the slipper in his hand, waving it playfully as if to say "You forgot this." Keith noticed her running into the carriage and leaned over the short railings, sighing melancholy.

Acxa pulled the shirt collar from Keith's neck and brought him close to her, landing his lips on hers. Their lips ached from the force. She quickly broke their kiss. "Sorry, that was too abrupt," she said with red cheeks. Keith smiled at her and placed his hands on hers, which were still holding his shirt collar. Then Acxa gathered them behind her, feeling even more ashamed. "I didn't even let you finish what you were saying to me and..." "And you kissed me," Keith interrupted her tenderly. Acxa stood up hurriedly "sorry I have to go" she couldn't look him in the eyes. "What galra kisses so desperately? How do you know he likes you and you kiss him like that out of the blue? Unacceptable! You just committed sexual harassment." She said to herself as she walked briskly away from the garden. Suddenly Kosmo teleported in front of her, making her slip on his fur and throw her face into the grass. Keith came running behind her. "I didn't expect you to walk so fast, almost running, I had to stop you somehow and I asked Kosmo to do it. I hope you didn't get hit badly." he said, helping her to get up by holding her arm. Kosmo rubbed his head on Keith's leg, pointing to Acxa's shoe in his mouth. "My shoe!" Acxa said and made to grab it from the wolf's drooling mouth. Kosmo, however, teleported next to Keith's other leg. "Give it to me" she tried to grab it again but the wolf did the same trick again by appearing next to Keith's previous leg. For a moment Keith admired this chase, but the shame in Acxa's gaze turned to melancholy and made him bite his cheek. Keith calmly bent down and took her slipper with both hands. Acxa made a small sound in shock. "You're not the only one who doesn't know how to behave now that we kissed...I don't know what to say either..." Keith looked at the shoe in his hands sadly. "When you kissed me, did you want to kiss the prince or your dancing partner?" Acxa noticed his hands gripping her shoe and she relaxed her shoulders. "I kissed the man who saved my life. I kissed the man who pulled me out of the wrecked carriage, who didn't care who I was but invited me to the dance even though I was a rival." Keith looked up, meeting her eyes. Kosmo pushed their legs together, bringing them much closer.
