Blurb:
Ren
Argent wanted to be an archeologist and spend her life exploring the lost
cities of Earth. But when a new planet
is discovered and her father is appointed King, she has to leave behind
everything she knows to rule over a place she’s only heard of in legends.
Not
long after her arrival she discovers there are insurgents hiding in the
darkened forests and the planet is on the brink of civil war. It won’t be long until the Monarchy steps in
to “neutralize” the threat.
Will
she be able to stop the hostile takeover?
Or will her actions ignite a rebellion across the universe?
“Well,
when the Monarchy showed them this,”—Garret nodded to the paper—“and their
current Prime Minister dead, his successor was very willing to pass the torch.”
Ren
inspected the paper closer while Elian tried to remember what a Prime Minister
was. The only words she could make out
were “Star Deed” and “Meredith Argent”, along with a seemingly random set of
numbers.
“Something
that isn’t widely known is that back on Earth in the latter twentieth to early
twenty-first century, people would gift stars to each other,” Garret explained.
“Seriously?”
Elian asked.
Garret
nodded. “And in 1984, a man named Daniel
Argent gave his girlfriend and soon to be wife a star for their wedding. Ring any chimes?”
“Bells,”
Ren corrected. “And yes, it does. Are you saying because our ancestor named a
star, through a company that doesn’t have any right to name stars I might add,
that we own it now? And by default, the
planet that orbits it?”
“Absolutely,”
Garret said with a grin. Ren had hoped
her corrections would make him think twice before opening his mouth, or at
least put a damper on his mood, but it did neither.
“You
are now the royal family of the planet Novae.”
Garret bowed towards the new royals.
“Welcome to the Monarchy.”
