Meal With A Sovereign

"Sovereign Kreo, I leave this to you." A voice said from the comm.

"Hoho. This is my responsibility as well. Don't worry." The old man stroked his beard and laughed.

The voice said in a neutral tone. "Some things need to be paid for in blood."

"Indeed. Your honor will be re-established through their blood." Kreo said and ended the call.

He leaned back in the chair and looked over the dinner table. Exquisite dishes filled the table and sweet aroma filled the air.

On the other side of the square table, exactly opposite him, there was an empty chair.

Sovereign Kreo was waiting for someone!

The sunlight from the two suns shone on the silent old man who held the power to destroy a planet.

It also illuminated every inch of the small space sub-station he was in. It was in the shape of a disc and was only a few miles wide.

There was an invisible barrier shielding it as it moved through space.
