“You will cease this nonsense immediately!” Lord Varrik Varaant
roared. “This wedding has been arranged for years, and by the
gods, you will obey me.”

Lynara sighed and resisted the urge to rub between her eyebrows. She had
a headache forming, as she always did when she couldn’t avoid her father’s
calls. “I can’t. You know I can’t.”
“You might be a princess, but I am still your father, and you will do as
you are told!” Her father clenched his jaw in fury.
This was it, the heart of their endless debate. Because while her father
was plain old Lord Varaant, she was Lady Varaant, a princess of the empire
thanks to her late mother, and that fact was a constant thorn in her father’s
side. She hadn’t asked for any of it, but that didn’t seem to matter to him.
“I might be a princess,” she threw back. “But I am also a captain in His
Imperial Majesty’s Navy, and just like any other officer, I have to follow
orders.”
Silence fell on the other end of the link. Her father’s jaw clicked closed,
and he looked at her like she’d finally said something worth his attention.
“Orders? You have orders?” His voice was lower now, a note of intrigue
creeping into it. “What orders? We have been at peace for over twenty-five
years.”
“Not mobilization orders,” she told him in case he got the wrong idea and
tried to talk to Admiral Verran again to get her assigned a desk job back at
command. “But I’ve been ordered to report to the admiralty offices this
morning.”
She left it at that. Open-ended. Mostly because she had no clue what the
powers that be wanted with her.
Her father’s eyes narrowed. “Perhaps they intend to offer you a
command. Like your mother’s…”
Lynara shrugged. Her mother had commanded a capital destroyer, one of
the most powerful ships in the Imperial Navy. But she had been a general
with a whole, long-hard war’s experience under her belt.
Which Lynara was most definitely not.
The only ships currently waiting for captains were all the higher prestige
classes. There were none that she, a newly promoted captain fresh out of the
second officer’s chair, would ever be assigned command of. But… a girl
could dream.
“We’ll have to see how it shakes out.”
“Let me know,” her father ordered. “If you do not get command of a
decent ship, you will return home and marry as ordered.”
“I’m sor— hat was th—at?” Lynara stuttered as she kicked the table the
comm-link sat on, making the screen fritz. Her father’s face was decorated in
lines of static as he scowled.
“Lynara! Don’t you dar—”
“Really br-eaking up.” She shook her head. “Can’t hear yo—”
She cut the commlink completely and the screen went dead.
Leaning back in her chair as it swiveled slowly, she let her gaze idly scan
over her quarters.
