Chapter Seven

Brodin was a Dhemon and he had the formal manners of his kind, standing to press a kiss to the back of her hand. “Welcome to Teklan base, Brenawyn.”

“Thank you, Brodin, is it?”

“Or Might if you wish.”

“I will stick with Brodin.” She removed her hand from his and smiled pleasantly at him.

Patrig wrapped his arm around her waist, “And I will stick with her.”

Brodin smiled and sat behind his desk. “Have a seat. We have a request.”

Patrig held Bren’s chair for her and sat next to her, his possessive posture unmistakable. “What is the request?”

“This is best seen in person.” With a flick of Brodin’s fingers, the shades came down and an image of a young woman was outlined in light.

“Hello, Sector Guard Base Teklan. My name is Miriil and I am the imperial princess of the Yeven clan on Warshos.”

The woman was wearing a lovely gown and she looked as soft and new as spring. Bren smiled slightly at the image even though the princess could not see her.

“I am sending this request to the Guard, because I don’t know where else to turn. My father is about to throw open the games for my hand in marriage. I don’t want to marry any of the candidates here on Warshos, I want you to find the man I have loved my entire life.

“His name is Polai Markos and he was a gardener who left Warshos when my father denied his interest in me. I have heard that he is a botanist on an Oefric colony world, but I have no way to get in touch with him. Raxos isn’t open to communication from Warshos, so there is no way for me to find him.

“I want to know that he knows time is running out. I need him here, but if he doesn’t want me anymore, I need to know it so I can start my life with my new husband. I can’t stand the thought of not knowing one way or the other.”

The young woman sighed, her shoulders drooping. “If you choose not to help me, that is fine, but I have expended my energy to get you this message on the off chance that you will find him. Thank you for considering it.”

The message flared out and Brodin brought the lights up. “So, Tracker, do you think that your skills are up to finding this lost love?”

Tracker brought Bren’s hand to his lips. “Oddly enough, love is very much on my mind these days.”

Bren blushed. “Can I go with him?”

Brodin looked surprised. “Of course. You are a representative of the Citadel and a travelling healer. Doors will open for you that might resist the pressure of the Guard.”

Understanding finally lit in her mind. “That makes a certain amount of sense, though I am sure that it wasn’t Tracker’s initial intent.” She turned to glare at the man who still had possession of her hand. She arched her brows and he opened his mouth, but it was Brodin who spoke.
