Bab 68: Feeling lonely

"Commander Petrov, there's an urgent matter I must discuss with you." 

Ilya nodded to the sentinel who had been by his side for three years. Kasen wasn't his only one but she had been serving him the longest. 

"Speak," he told her as he gestured for the sentinel to follow him. 

Kasen fell into step beside him. She had fallen in love with the commander almost five years ago when she had met him during a trip with her father. Having inserted herself into his inner circle, all she wanted now was to become his life partner even if only as his sentinel. But someone had arrived and ruined her carefully laid plans. 

"It's about the new recruit," she carefully told him. Kasen measured his reaction but Ilya continued walking without a change in his expression. "She attempted to murder a member of the crew."
