The Rude Prince

"What a few matters?" 

Robin and the other adjutants assumed Lyra's next orders would be focused on standard military operations. Instead, her next words left them stunned: 

"Be pirates."

"...What?" 

Lyra tapped a stack of documents on the table, her calm demeanor belying the shock in the room. The reports detailed the countless failures of forces attempting to garrison Voidstar No. 1 over the years. 

"In this sector," she explained, "only pirates can land safely." 

Realization dawned, and sly smiles spread across her team's faces.

Lyra's plan was unconventional, but it was as bold as it was brilliant. 

She instructed the adjutants to select a scouting team and finalize their strategy.

Once the plan was set, she stood and dismissed the meeting, leaving her team buzzing with anticipation.
