The Alien Woman Diplomat Didn’t Know Her Human Bodyguard Was from a Deathworld. The Room Fell Silent

The Alien Woman Diplomat Didn’t Know Her Human Bodyguard Was from a Deathworld. The Room Fell Silent The Envoy of the Tidal Courts has endured three weeks of insults from the Karnhest delegation, and the one person who has never flinched is her quiet human bodyguard, the gentle sergeant who grows potatoes on a windowsill and sleeps three hours a night. Then, in the Hall of Unspoken Oaths, a Karnhest champion demands the station registry reveal where he was born, and four hundred delegates from eleven species fall silent. She thought he was a gardener from a farming colony. The registry says otherwise. On the world where Sergeant Rumi Callapa grew up, children learn to fight before they learn to read, the moss kills with a footstep, and nothing offworld has ever survived more than nineteen days. With a poisoned basin, a hidden crawlway in the dome and a war faction on both sides of the table, the Ommeth Accord is about to collapse into bloodshed. The only person who can hear the trap closing is the man she never bothered to ask about his past. This original HFY sci-fi story is a tale of diplomacy, loyalty, deathworld humans and the quiet power of a man who just wants to protect the people at his table.
