Allura went to the balcony to speak to her people. She was still furious at Keith for trying to snap Prince Raymond's neck in half. Although, she knew Keith was just trying to protect his family. She turn a deep breath to clear her head and began her speech.
My people, I know Zarkon's attack took us by surprise. Believe me when I tell you I was not preoccupied with a guest.
While trying to calm the fears of the people, Allura was losing her battle with her stomach. She threw a hand over her mouth and ran off the balcony to the nearest bathroom. This left Coran, Keith, and the Voltron Force to try and calm the people. Keith picked up where Allura left off.
People of Arus, Witch Haggar used her magic to make Prince Lotor's fleet invisible.
Even as we speak, our scientists are developing new technology to combat this problem.
And what were you doing when this attack happened, Captain Keith?! a young man named Calvin yelled from the crowd.
Keith flinched for a second in response to this question. Then quickly composed himself.
Well, I can't tell them I was making love to their Princess! he thought to himself.
I was in my room going over the latest Galaxy Alliance reports and catching up on paper work, he quickly explained.
A woman named Janet yelled out, What's wrong with Princess Allura? Is she ill?
Keith decided to use the same explanation they did when they first found that Allura was pregnant.
Princess Allura has been diagnosed with a stomach virus.
This caused a murmur within the crowd. Keith began to second guess his decision to use this explanation. He quickly amended his statement after hearing the word die filter up to the balcony.
Do not worry about your Princess. Dr. Gorma has already said that she will make a full recovery from this illness.
Keith began wondering when they would be able to tell the truth about Allura's condition. The thought of the twins and being a daddy put a small smile on his face. Some people noticed this and wondered how he could be grinning like a fool when their homes had just been destroyed.
Keith went back into protector mode. Until your homes are rebuilt, you can stay at the Olympic Village. Food and clothing will be available everyone. There will be doctors on site at the village for those that have injuries and require medical attention.
Also, there will be increased Lion patrols around the planet. Please gather what you need and make your way to the village.
To Keith's relief, there were no more questions from the people. The crowd began to separate and go back to their homes to try to salvage what Lotor hadn't destroyed. Coran was amazed at how calmly Keith handle the situation. He acted like he did it all the time. But at the same time, Coran was a little flustered that Keith didn't let him handle it himself.
Young man, he said, what do you call yourself taking over for Princess Allura like that today? She's already mad at you.
Keith said very quietly, I know Allura is mad at me. And if I had to do it all over again,I'd do it the same way. If you'll excuse me, Coran, I have to go make sure Allura is all right.
Unlike you, I am more concerned with her health than diplomatic procedures.
Keith left the balcony and found Allura in the bathroom washing her face with a cool rag.
Are you and the babies all right?
She slowly nodded her head.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out some tablets.
Takes these, sweetheart. They'll calm your stomach.
Allura glared at him. Keith, you know I won't take anything that may hurt the twins.
Don't be silly. Do you think I'd let you do that? I already asked Dr. Gorma and he said it's perfectly safe for you to take these.
All right, all right, Keith. You've convinced me.
She took the two pills with water. She then did a little touch up to her makeup and went to leave the bathroom. Keith grabbed her wrist and made her turn to him. He kissed her on the lips and whispered in her ear, I love you, sweetheart. Even when you're mad at me, I will still love you.
Allura pulled away and looked at him, uncertainly. She then looked away and quickly scurried out of the bathroom, leaving Keith in there by himself, smiling.
