The Royal Scam (The Martian Alliance) - Plot & Excerpts
ARE YOU sure this will work?” my lady-in-waiting gasped out as we hurried along the walkway by the docking bays. I was looking for a specific ship, one that could get into space fast and jump to hyperspace even faster.I took her hand and pulled her along. “Positive. You have the wedding dowry from Prince Ignatius?”She shoved the bag of galaxy-wide gemstones into my hand. “I double-checked. They’re all in there.”The Captain of the Guard was on her other side. He held her other hand. “You’re still set on going alone, not taking us with you, my princess?”“Positive, yes.” I looked around. We were definitely not alone, and even though I had a long cloak on and the hood up, covering most of my face, we hadn’t been speaking softly. I knew at least some of the space folk in this area had heard us.“You’ve cut it close,” the Captain said. “The wedding is tomorrow.”“Whatever.” I spotted what I was looking for—a small, sleek spaceship. It was more elegant than most of the other ships in the bays.
