Page 8 of Emperor of Draconis

“What did he decide on?” Torr asked curious.

“He found a family that owns a farm and was looking for help. They only have a daughter and he’s been dating her. He believes they will mate and since he will work on their farm, he will have much time with their children. If it works out, everyone will be happy.”

“Amazing. That is a perfect possibility. I’m impressed with how few true problems you’ve had. The exception was two males that I had to send away. They were causing problems and picking fights. Luckily, you had them singled out and my guards were watching and saved them from being beaten unconscious or possibly killed. They selected the meteor and I was relieved. They are set up to deal with males like that.”

“Males like what?”

“Ones that are very physical and like to fight. The work will tire them, but there are fights set up as entertainment that they can sign up for. There are monitors to ensure no one is killed or too seriously injured.”

“That’s legal?”

“Indeed. I’ve watched videos of much more brutal fights from Earth.” He pointed out.

“That’s true, but I thought your people were too advanced for such things.”

“Males will be males and they enjoy either participating in or watching a good fight once in a while. You should know better. On Draconis males all looked like warriors. Your mom even told you about Erak and I getting in on a fight at Cretia’s party. That, if nothing else, should have informed you on the nature of our males.”

“You’re right. Did Mom tell you about everything she told me?”

“Of course not. She thought it cute that you were surprised that royalty would like a good rumble.”

“I see she’s been teaching you slang too.” Kitty observed.

“Your mother is a delight. It doesn’t bother you that I am close to your mom, does it?”

“Of course not. Mom is close to many people.”

“You are a lot like your mom.” He noticed.

“Probably the most like her of any of her girls. What made you notice that?”

He chuckled. “It could be your stubbornness or the fact that you look so much like her.”

“That’s true. None of us girls really took after our dad. We just got little things from him.”

“Were you close to him?” He asked.

“Mom raised us. Dad was all military all the time. He had breaks from that where he spent a week or more likely a weekend with us. I don’t know how Mom dealt with that. I’m glad she doesn’t have to now.”

“You want a closer relationship with you mate than that?”

“I do. I also don’t want to raise my kids alone. A father should be there and help raise them.” She observed.

“I agree. I hope to be with my children more than I’m away.”

“It seems we agree on something.”

“Indeed. I wonder what else we agree on?” He asked.

“The program?”

“Yes, the program that will give a better life to females from Earth and find mates for the males from Draconis.”

“I think it is more than that. It will help your world move forward into the next step.”

“You’re right. Farming will progress so we can provide not only for our people, but trade with other worlds short on foodstuffs.”

“Yes, just like I said, progress.”
