While the others slept, ate sothing or played gas, A potential couple snuck away and found so privacy in Scarlet’s garden on the space ship. This couple was none other than Tion and Lora, who didn’t want to be seen in close quarters lest everyone would suspect them of doing sothing.
In there, Lora looked around like a thief before erecting a sound barrier. Imdiately, Tion tried to grab her waist but she raised her right hand to punch him.
He caught it and smirked.
"You should stop fighting now. It’s not illegal or immoral for the two of us to be eting up. We can be together finally, out in the open with no judgent. I want to woo you and make you my legal wife."
She sneered at him. He had forgotten that she was not so twenty two year old daughter of a noble family seeking marriage.
"I have told you, marriage is not in my plans. I have other goals in mind and nothing will deter from my chosen path. This tension between us, it’s sexual but that’s all. One good round in the sheets and it will be gone quickly."
He shook his head, rejecting her words. His other hand tried to grab her waist but she lowered her body, and head butted him.
He let go of her and winced, one hand pressed against his forehead. A small trickle of blood trailed from his upper forehead.
"Ah, you are so hard to woo." She had never let him do anything inappropriate because he was married and he also respected himself and his family never attempted anything. However the mont his wife and her family started harping about divorce, his greed started to grow. He started desiring all sorts of things that he never allowed himself to desire before. Lora Storm was at the top of the list of those things. He chuckled and shook his head. "I love it."
"You are crazy." she muttered.
"No more than you." he replied.
"Hey, has your wife ever seen this side of you?" she asked him curiously.
"My wife..." he thought for a few minutes and laughed. "She is my ex-wife now. My father has signed the separation papers on my behalf proving that I am not the Carlzon duchy heir anymore which makes our marriage null since she married the Carlzon heir. We were married for convenience, to unite our two houses for the purpose of growing in power and magnifying our incos.
The two of us never had a choice in the matter but I always treated her well, respected her and put her first in everything.
She has chosen to throw it all away, return to her family and find a more suited match that better suits their goals and ambitions.
I cannot stop her so I am choosing to move on."
The circumstances of his marriage were like most of the nobles, rarely out of love and mostly for mutual benefit.
"I will not be your rebound anything." Lora told him in a forceful voice. "You need to take ti, process your separation and figure out how you feel, deal with the rumors and comfort your children. I am older than you, so I don’t have ti to play mind gas. If in six months you are still feeling the sa way about , then we can try."
She walked away from him and he didn’t try to stop her. She was right, he was being too needy and too much in a hurry. He needed to first settle his family affairs before trying to woo soone else. If they rushed into a relationship, her reputation, his, the children and Arya’s would probably be sared.
He sighed and started formulating a plan in his mind. When he turned around to leave the garden, he noticed two half bitten apples.
"Aah, that damn Severus." he muttered in a dissatisfied voice. Why bite apples that you have no plans of eating?
He was another food waster whose rations needed to be reduced. Not that he would say this to the governor.
"The ship will be making a ten minute stop to pick up ga X1. Everyone is advised to take their seats and fasten themselves."
He hurried back to the command center. The governor had asked him to begin reviewing footage delivered by ga X1 as soon as it arrived. He had sothing to do finally, sothing that would keep his mind off Lora Storm and his ex-wife or his problems.

A day and a half later, after a sowhat slow journey that was smooth they arrived on the Blue star. Everyone on the space ship shared a mutual feeling of relief. They never expressed to Scarlet how ho sick they were, especially when they were on the dark planet and the short ti on Xeno.
They had longed for their hos, beds and significant others, except for Adler who was glued to Arya when they were both free and Etienne who had co with his wife.
For them all, nothing could ever beat the sll or joy that ca with being back ho. As soon as the space ship doors opened, they alighted from it with exhausted but happy smiles.
Teacher Kong even exaggerated by touching the floor of the private space port and kissing it with his lips.
"Ho sweet ho, we are ho at last." he cried out.
Most of the others in the group tsked, laughed or chided him but Adler understood him. He had been the most frightened on Xeno. Adler did not think the man would ever volunteer to leave the Sun star ever again.
He must have recalled that there was a student in the mix so he stood up quickly and gathered himself dusting away the embarrassnt as he beat nonexistent dirt away from his cloak . He looked at Justin and said, "Student Alexander Justin Wu, you will be granted only so much ti to rest, three days. The four week break for all students ends this week so you are expected to start school at the sa ti as your peers."
Justin stood still an answered in a loud small voice. "Yes teacher Kong."
It seed like he was trying to bellow but all Scarlet heard was a weak little cat’s ow which made her guffaw.
Teacher Kong turned to Scarlet and bowed. "It has been a pleasure travelling with you governor. Please excuse now, I will be going on my own from here."
"Thank you for everything teacher Kong. Please expect a very big thank you package from ." she responded.
After he left, the smile on Scarlet’s face vanished and it was replaced with her ’it’s ti to lay down the law governor style face.’
"Minister Adler, what the hell are those personal space ships which are parked randomly like that in the space ant for ergency landings and military ships? Why are they taking up the whole space?"
Adler was about to respond and defend himself with the very obvious excuse that he had been away and was just as surprised as she was to see this ss when a few loud flying cars flew past the space landing port.
It was evening, ti for the birds to fly ho but they were being disturbed by the flying cars. Scarlet wondered how many of her birds had been killed or hard during her absentia.
She put her hands on her waist and smirked. "Aah, I have been gone for too long that the mice have co out to play. I would not be the cat if I didn’t respond accordingly."
