Day 6
Princess Mia had received a call this morning at 8am, Her Father King Levis had passed away overnight. His heart had not been strong enough. She thanked the Doctor and hang up. Shimel and Lacy were by her side in an instant comforting her, crying for her too.
Kat took a moment to update the team of the news making it urgent. She wasn’t sure how this would change things but knowing that it would. Princess Rota was now at more risk. She also let the team know what had been decided with the governors that she would have seven days off to mourn and then the Kings funeral would be held. Seven days after she would be crowned Queen. They now had a dead line to find who was behind this attack and prove Mia was a princess. 14 days
Re-group
Jay was woken by an urgent update. He opened his comm trying to blink awake. The King had passed and they had 14 days to wrap up this investigation and have a princess
Kat had put in a transport motion for the princess to be driven to the Winter Palace and organised a fake motorcade, complete with servants dressed as the princess and her two attendants. They of course were in mourning, so their faces would be veiled. The princess, Shimel and Lacy however were dressed in full guard battle attire and were smuggled out early as preparations were made for her to leave the palace. Benny had led them to the roof where they were “officially” going on a live weapons training exercise. Jay had his superior to put in a request for transport by the military to the port for training. Ryder and Tilly would be waiting to pick them up. Kat would then be seen publicly having a disagreement with the superior regarding the Princess motorcade security and the superior would have them suspended for a week, Kat, Boris and Beeves would leave the palace immediately. The superior himself would escort the “princess” with a new security team,
“I am totally in love with Jay but he said if we ever get involved, he would be killed? Rota I need this man in my life, he is good and honest and I can’t live in a planet I don’t know with out him. He is my safe place and the only reason I could leave Planet S610.“Oh,” said Rota, not expecting that at all “I see, it is true, for a guard to take a fancy for a princess is normally a death sentence”“What if I marry him before I am proven to be a princess, can I marry him as just Mia.Again, Rota was shocked that Mia would be so bold to suggest it, she must really love him. She reflected about what she knew about Jay and Mia from their reports, they were so similar, in cleverness and abilities maybe they were supposed to be together.“Well I suppose so, in theory, a marriage can’t be broken by royal decree or the governors of Ziion.“If we get married in Mercer will it stand in Ziion?
“Well Rota,” said Jay “Your motorcade was attacked”both the Princesses gasp and quickly asked “was anyone hurt?”“Its like seeing double,” said Bunny“A couple of serious injuries on our side but no casualties. There were however two guards who defected to the other side, they were shot. My superior is very glad we took the precautions we did and got Rota out of there but now we have to decide whether we release news that Rota was killed or survived the attack.If we release news that she was killed, we will have to see who steps up to claim the throne, but that could take time and if Octave isn’t behind this it could put your Aunt and Octave at risk of being on the top of the kill next list. Planet Ziion will also have two funerals for two royals they loved, and it could create unrest.If we release that Rota survived the attack but was whisked away, we can then draw the attackers into a
They were just, taking off from getting “Mistress” fitted out when Jay got an urgent message from his superior: there is intel to suggest your family, is under threat. Can you get them to safety?”Jay went white as a sheet, “Jay what’s wrong” Mia said concerned“My superior thinks my family might be at risk” Jay said“Oh no,” said Mia with a shocked look on her face“Can’t we pick them up, where are they?” Rota suggested, “We have plenty of room on board.” She helped“Are they handy on the tools, getting all this set up inside is going to be a huge job,” Bunny addedJay was lost in thought. “Ryder head to Port Revena” he pulled his comm from his pocked and headed out of the roomMia winked at Rota, but Benny saw and when they turned and walk out, he stalked after them and when they were in an empty corridor,
Jays Mum Marie was the first onto “Mistress” as soon as she saw Mia she flung her arms around her, oh your still here with Jay.“Yep, he hasn’t gotten rid of me yet,” said Mia as she hugged her back.She pulled back and then froze, she had spotted Princess Rota, not believing her eyes. Mia realised.“Marie, this is Princess Rota of Ziion, Rota this is Marie, Jays mother. Her mother bowed her head. Rota approached her and took her hands into hers. Please while we are abord this ship I am just Rota. Just consider us family. Beside you just hugged Princess Mia of Ziion my twin sister. And she laughed as Marie look surprised, then worried, then awed and then furious, everyone was on the ship by that stage and Marie turned on Jay “You had a princess, in handcuffs” she exclaimed dramatically.“Woah,” said his Dad standing behind Jay, he put his hand on Jay’s shoulder “Son we really ne
Day 7 Almost everyone had surfaced by 8am, Marie, Shimel, lacy and Rota had made an amazing breakfast for everyone, and everyone helped themselves. Everyone opted for eating at the breakfast bar in the kitchen, rather than moving to the dining room which was more formal. There weren’t quite enough seats so people were constantly moving around, when it was time for Mia to find a seat, Bunny loudly suggested Jay’s lap might do, and to everyone shock and Jays absolute embarrassment, she shrugged and went and sat in his lap, well on his knee actually, she did try to save him a little bit of embarrassment. She smiled at him sweetly as if nothing was out of place and started eating, Marie’s mouth fell open. “Princess” Jay groaned out in a warning tone that Mia was used to, but that made everyone laugh. After breakfast little work parties, started to form. Bunny had her team fitting out “Mistress”, ther
Day 7The next day people came and went on the ship, it was a bit more of a rest day, there was still work being done but everyone was making the most of more freedom.Mia had asked if she could run the Gorge again, her body wanted to run after mainly sitting.“Hey Jay, you think you can keep up with me on the gorge run?”“Of course,”“Prove it,” Mia said before he could back down“Alright, show me a suit.”20mins later, Jay found himself on the gorge run, it did feel good to run again. he normally had a rigorous exercise routine but lately that wasn’t happening. He let Mia lead the way, she kept up a quick pace. They got to the first meter, if Jay wasn’t careful, he would be shown up. She showed him how to enter the reading to make sure they were safe. They continued running. I was so good to just be with Mia again and to not have to guard what he said and h
Planet Mercer was a little bit different to Planet Ziion in regards to Space ship travel. In Ziion you could only land at a port and then you had to clear security to enter Ziion. In Mercer you could fly and land your ship anywhere, but you had to go through “The Portal” as they called it, your ship had to project an electronic pass that had to be obtained to come and go. Dora had already obtained one for “Mistress” so that wasn’t a problem. They were also allowed to travel a lot closer to the planet than you could in Ziion. So everyone was plastered to the closest windows so they could see Mercer and its landscapes.Dora’s Sister had invited them all for an “Mercern Gathering” in her gardens, which she had requested everyone dress up for but they were told not to worry because there was everything they needed at the house. They would land just after lunch and have 2 hours to get ready, then they were to assemble in the garden.
