Medieval au!? I smell some forbidden romance and is that *sniff* some love triangle?
(Referring to this post) Yes! I love them good Medieval AUs!
So based on the prompt by @insaneworld21 in my interpretation:
Princess Katherine of Garrison is the daughter of the king’s brother. So she’s a princess but not next in line for the throne
Which means that when the Prince & Heir to the Galra Throne wanted a political marriage, she was the one they automatically picked
Katie/Pidge is very loyal to her people and family so she’s going to do her duty as a princess, but personally she isn’t really sure
To make things worse, on her way to Daibazaal, her escort, led by the knight Shiro, was all but scattered, leaving her alone with Shiro as he helps protect her and take her to her husband to be
Pidge is unsure of her feelings, Shiro is trying to be a good knight but he’s also unsure, and to make everything worse, when they get there Lotor genuinely really likes Pidge
Lotor wanted to marry Princess Allura, but he knew it was unlikely since it was speculated she’d marry the heir to Garrison (it’s a whole other thing, but Allura was the daughter of the King of Altea and a princess from Garrison before Altea was destroyed, so now she’s a princess of Garrison but not eligible for the throne either, and also not strongly related to the throne)
BUT ANYWAY THE GOOD STUFF: love triangle between Lotor, Pidge, and Shiro
Shiro is tasked to stay with Pidge until the marriage, which is several months away since they have to prepare for such a frickin’ huge wedding
And in the meantime there’s lots of drama
Pidge tries to sneak out, her hair up and dressed like a boy, and runs into Lotor/Shiro while in town
Ofc Shiro and Pidge also train together (but Lotor doesn’t know)
Lots of awkward dates while Lotor tries to woo Pidge
