The overseer in charge, a burly masked man growled at her. "That's three demerit points to you. Your new owner will discipline you for all of them." He took her to the back and the ship went through the vast space, taking a couple of weeks with the overseer noting each of their demerits along the way.
The ship finally stopped at the planet of Grubsquin where the gleaming capital and in particular the palace stood out even from afar.
The overseer had selected a dozen of the best people. "Dress up, you have been chosen to be presented to the queen. Behave and be respectful and maybe you can avoid being sent to the barracks or the mines." He growled, leading the group down through the luxurious castle corridors to Queen Farah's parlour.
