The Emperor's Daughter Chapter 1

Earth, a planet that many potential conquerors have set their ambitious sights on over the years and yet none have actually fully succeeded in transforming this little and meager backwater planet into their own.

But that's all going to change now.

An overwhelming fleet from the magnificent Emperor Mavro's famed and feared armada has arrived and they will achieve what they have set out to do.

On board the fleet, standing at the command ships front windows, staring down at this strategically positioned planet is Emperor Mavro's third child and only daughter the Princess Veronica.

Being the youngest of her siblings and the only female Veronica is more or less third in line to the throne. She's never once thought about ever becoming Empress when she has 2 older brothers way ahead of her. It's never even come to mind. Instead she does her best to support both her brother's in their endeavors despite not being much of a fighter in the first place. Don't let her mostly non-violent nature fool you, she does know how to fight and defend herself. Being the daughter of such of tyrannical and combative leader she has to be, but she's not really into it as deep as her brothers are. Her dedication to her brothers is the main reason why she's on such an important mission where in the past she hasn't joined any before.

Her oldest brother Prince Vekar to be precise along with orders from her father.

Princess Veronica can recall one of the last conversations with her father quite clearly.

It was in her father's lavish throne room filled with tributes from other conquests. Emperor Mavro was sitting on his throne. In front of him, kneeling with his head bowed low to his Emperor, is his top and most trusted general and advisor Damaras. Princess Veronica is beside her father, standing to the right and slightly behind his throne in acknowledgment of her lower rank to his. The Emperor's Royal Guard is stationed in posts across the room.

It has been decided that Prince Vekar will lead the chosen armada to submit Earth to their control. Damaras will be both his advisor and protector during this endeavor. But most of all to make sure that Prince Vekar survives above all things. Unlike Princess Veronica and Prince Vrak he has the least amount of fighting and leadership skills amongst them.

"Damaras, you must make sure that no harm comes to my fool of a son, Vekar, on this mission, understood," ordered Emperor Mavro.

Nodding, Damaras said "Yes, Sire."

Scoffing, Emperor Mavro said "He's an empty-headed blunderer, nothing like his brother. Even his sister is more capable than he is. Still he's my firstborn and heir, but he needs your guidance. You must make sure that this invasion goes smoothly, in spite of him."

"Yes, I understand," agreed Damaras.

Unbeknownst to the bulk of them, Vekar had been eavesdropping on the conversation. And he's not pleased with all with what he's heard. His fists clench and he storms off in the shadows from his hiding place in anger. Veronica is the only one who notices him depart. Her pity and sympathies are with him for she's aware of exactly what is on his mind. For years it's been no secret that their father prefers their brother Prince Vrak over his firstborn and that he initially wanted him to succeed the throne instead. Their father's disappointment has stuck with him since childhood. Even with being picked to lead the invasion Emperor Mavro continues to have doubts about him. Vekar is fervent about gaining their father's approval, but no matter what he does nothing seems to be good enough.

It's hit him hard each time.

Veronica has always tried to be there for Vekar, doing her best to reassure him that he is good enough and deserving of his birthright. Unfortunately there's only so much she can do to help without his ego interfering.

Perhaps Veronica to bring her own encouragement along to his self-esteem and confidence.

Rousing her courage and resolve to the table, stealing herself, Veronica steps out from her place behind the throne in order to face her father.

Bowing respectfully to her father's stature, Princess Veronica said "Father, permission to speak?"

"Granted. Say what you have to say, Daughter," said Emperor Mavro.

Sucking in a deep breath, Princess Veronica said "I humbly request to accompany Prince Vekar on this venture. As you spoke previously, Prince Vekar, is in need of guidance on the invasion and I would like to join him both as his sister and confidant."

There now she's said it. All that's left is his decision. The only sound in the room is Emperor Mavro's hand as the fingers are tapping slowly on the arm of the throne.

"Your request is a logical one, but you will listen to Damaras during this invasion. His experience outweighs your tenfold. Understood," commanded Emperor Mavro. "But your orders are the same as his. You will keep your brother safe."

"You have my word, Father. I will not let you down and neither will Vekar. I'll make sure of it," promises Princess Veronica, smiling at her father's permission.

No doubt Emperor Mavro views this as a necessary allowance despite not having permitted her to be a part of any other campaigns in the past.

Back to the present Princess Veronica watches as a battalion of XBorgs and lieutenants travel down to Earth to launch the first assault of their arrival.

"You'll see, Father. Vekar will make you proud. I'm sure of it," whispered Princess Veronica.
