Rise of the Aurelian Star Lord | Chapter 14: False Generosity | Sci-Fi Audiobook One duel. One furious professor. One expensive dinner. And one noble who will regret offering to pay the bill. In Chapter 14 of Rise of the Aurelian Star Lord, Zifo Althius discovers that accepting Cassian Veltrone's challenge has consequences beyond the upcoming starship duel. Professor Maelen is furious, the academy administration has taken notice, and Zifo has only a month to prepare his aging corvette, the Second Dawn, for battle. But first, he has a dinner appointment with his younger sister, Zhara. What begins as an expensive evening at the luxurious Aureate Garden restaurant becomes something much more meaningful. Accompanied by Seraphine Lyrasse and the mischievous Xiao Lian, Zifo finds an opportunity to reconnect with his sister and confront the mistakes of his past. Unfortunately, Cassian Veltrone has other plans. When Cassian arrives with Selena Varric and generously offers to pay for everyone's dinner, Zifo decides that such extraordinary kindness deserves an equally extraordinary response.
