Mom continued,
“Her Imperial House has a greater ranking than mine.
I did everything in my vast power to stop this, including asking a star system’s ransom in money when all else failed.
She has a vast amount of resources and the ear of the Emperor.
You are now eligible, and she has exercised her Imperial right under Galactic Law to purchase you as her Royal Pet.
All the arrangements that have been made by order of the Emperor, and the Imperial Chancellor, will be here in a little while to complete the transaction between, Lady Lisa Marie’s, and My Royal House.”
No! I am not a Pet.
Mom has said her Royal House, not our Royal House.
I am going to be just a piece of property.
I am a Royal Princess, not property to be bought and sold!
Mom removes the Collar from its protective case.
