Once, I was given a choice: a year of work at the Aibran military base, or being expelled from the university and returning to my home planet. Anyone would prefer to go back home. A military base by definition wasn’t the best place for a woman. But at home I had already been sold by my father into a harem. Becoming just another toy for a sadist and losing my freedom was a hundred times worse than life with the soldiers. So I signed the contract, closing my eyes to the consequences and hoping for the mercy of the Cosmos.
