Systematically corrupting an entire Alliance of Kingdoms was a job that only one person could do on his own, one in which he had pleasure in doing and strove to take down the Kingdom of Simmin. Revenge was something, despite it being caused by something many years ago, that was personally pointed towards that of the King of the country. The man had poisoned Xinyi Fu of the Fu Empire and its Dynasty when he was once held as hostage in order to end a conflict. Made his father look weak as they were on the very edge of victory, now he was going to regain his father's strength by destroying an enemy whom has been living peacefully as neighbors.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Three hours ago</span>, having been visiting Kardaun, Xinyu was having a secret meeting with the local lords of the planet and neighboring solar systems in a shady area of the star port belonging to Simmin Trade and Commerce. Bribes, sharing of ideals, deals. Xinyi was helping plot with the Kingdom's nobility in order to overthrow the King and those whom were in power. Promise of joining the Empire, gaining immense wealth and resources. His ability to deal with these rats and turncoats was not to under estimated. That was until someone stumbled upon their little get together, a lone princess who had left the palace without much protection.<br/><br/>As she had gotten up toe run, he shot her with his gun, stunning her and knocking her out. Many of the Lord suggested to have her killed, vaporize her body or to mutilate her until she was unrecognizable. It was rather barbaric to see all these grown men proposing to kill a young useful woman, one which could make his revenge even more pleasant. This was poetic, he was going to break a treaty with the help of the King's own flesh and blood. Instead of following with these proposals, he had his men drag the girl back to his shuttle so he could take her upon his commandship. Concocting a plan to keep the Lords in good light until it was the right time to act, he ordered one of the nobles to report to the King, that he Kidnapped the Princess. And so, the Crowned Prince set off to his command ship with the girl in his shuttle's hold under heavy guard.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Present Time,</span>the hum of hyperspace could be heard and felt vibraiting through every bulkhead on board the starship known as the Serpent's Heel. It was Xinyu's Flagship and the first of its class. The ship was at most thirteen kilometers in length and was built to hold several hundred weapon emplacements. It was known as a fleet destroyer by its enemies, as it was a mobile fortress and had unbelievable maneuverability for its size due to its spatial thrusters that allowed it to turn on a dime like a Dragon Fly, in which its class is named after.<br/><br/>When they had arrived, the Princess was processed by Xinyi personally, stripped of her belongings and put into a holding cell. Compared to most brigs on other ships, this one was rather luxurious with duraplast floor tiles which were metallic white-blue and seemed to clean itself and never get dirty. The whole room was white except for the sky blue colored blanket which hid the princess's body from sight. The door way seemed to be blocked by an electric blue energy field. While she may not have any clothes on her, there was a set of silk pajamas folded on the nearby nightstand. No one seemed to be in the hallway except for the single man, Xinyi who was watching her as she slept.<br/><br/>He had dismissed pretty much all the guards in that section, considering his buff was with her father and he didn't want anyone else to see her in this way except for himself. If she asked him to look away after she woke up, he probably wouldn't oblige that request. She was the key to destroying her father, breaking apart the alliance and forcing the planet of Kardaun and its Kingdom into the Empire. A cold grin could be seen washing over his lips, his golden eyes with a sinister glimmer. All he had to do was wait, by now her father had already gotten news that she had been taken by the Prince himself. A declaration of war was waiting by the time he got back home, but her father had no idea that his forces were already mobilizing. War was coming for the Kingdom of Simmin.
