CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Diego

The next time Isolde saw her general, the change was obvious, even if she couldn’t put her finger on what exactly gave him away. Something was different; she only wished she knew what. His eyes when he looked at her were somehow more intense than ever before. Isolde found herself unable to break his gaze.

“The time has come,” Diego said. “Things have taken an ugly turn. We can no longer delay our journey to Briolina, but it is clear that the Elders will not emerge in time to put this all to order. Questions have been raised and we have to be there to answer them in person. If we arrive too late and Senator Eren has had time to secure his base, we will not get to speak a word before being shot to pieces by the orbital defense systems.”

“I thought the Brions didn’t favor long-range weaponry,” Isolde murmured.

Diego looked like someone introducing her to a really unpleasant relative. “The senators installed it,” he managed to say. “I can see… its uses. I would not have thought they would use it against their own people, but I no longer doubt they would. Eleya is buying us time, but we must make haste now.”

Isolde nodded. They’d been in space long enough for her taste. She longed to feel real ground beneath her feet, even if it was Briolina, a planet very hostile towards her.

“In the meanwhile,” Diego continued, “our arrangement,” – Isolde noticed how he refused to call it the lie that it was – “has to be made public to the Galactic Union. They cannot be the last to know, and I would rather not give the senators a chance to serve it up their own way. It would be better if the Brion people knew of it as well before we land.”

This is it. I am the alien bride now. Oh god, I’m gonna be in Terran gossip columns. Thank heavens that I don’t have to bring the son-in-law to dinner. I don’t think my parents would have approved.

“I agree,” Isolde said, nodding. At least this she could be certain about, if not her feelings towards Diego.

They are clear enough, something in her protested.

“I think it’s a good idea,” she went on. “If we have any hope of wiping the Rhea situation under the carpet, the more attention on us, the better. Less on what we do on Rhea and more on us as a couple.”

She saw the general tense and it wasn’t a comfortable thought for her either. As days went by, it was becoming more and more difficult to ignore the burning need inside her. At least she got to retreat to her own rooms after a public performance of the alien newlywed and cool off her raging heart that wanted nothing more than to have Diego bend her over the first horizontal surface and make her scream.

He was nodding, agreeing with her. “Eleya advised that too. All attention on the inter-species couple, and perhaps the galaxy will let our inner feuds be and not look too closely at Rhea.
